Shapes From Echoes: Uniqueness From Point-to-Plane Distance Matrices

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Miranda Krekovic

We study the problem of localizing a configuration of points and planes from the collection of point-to-plane distances. This problem models simultaneous localization and mapping from acoustic echoes as well as the & x201C;structure from sound & x201D; app ...

On design strategies for binary dielectric metasurfaces based on the Fourier modal method

Kévin Müller

Binary dielectric metasurfaces are arrays of sub-wavelength structures that act as a thin layer of artificial material. They are generally lossless and relatively simple to fabricate since only a single structuring step is required. By carefully designing ...

Reflection for action: designing tools to support teacher reflection on everyday evidence

Pierre Dillenbourg

Improving educational practice through reflection is one important focus of teacher professional development approaches. However, such teacher reflection operates under practical classroom constraints that make it happen infrequently, including the relianc ...

Laminated glazing with coloured reflection and high solar transmittance suitable for solar energy systems

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Virginie Hody-Le Caër

Laminated and etched glazing unit for architectural integration of solar energy systems comprising a substrate delimited by two main faces and a multi-layered interference filter also delimited by two main faces, one main face of said substrate being adapt ...

Second Harmonic and Sum-Frequency Generation from Aqueous Interfaces Is Modulated by Interference

Sylvie Roke, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks

The interfacial region of aqueous systems also known as the electrical double layer can be characterized on the molecular level with second harmonic and sum-frequency generation (SHG/SFG). SHG and SFG are surface specific methods for isotropic liquids. Her ...

A block algorithm for computing antitriangular factorizations of symmetric matrices

Daniel Kressner, Zvonimir Bujanovic

Any symmetric matrix can be reduced to antitriangular form in finitely many steps by orthogonal similarity transformations. This form reveals the inertia of the matrix and has found applications in, e.g., model predictive control and constraint preconditio ...

Research in the field of single biopolymers using scanning probe microscopy

Andrey Mikhaylov

Current thesis is devoted to the investigation of biopolymers using AFM, a well established and widely used technique. To begin with, we studied processing of AFM images and its automation. Our software product, DNA Trace, permit one to quickly extract sci ...

Bodily Ownership : Tactile, Visual and Motor Mechanisms

Sebastian Dieguez Falcon

How do we know that our body and its parts belong to us? Observations from neurological syndromes and recent experiments in the cognitive neurosciences suggest that the sense of bodily ownership is a crucial component underlying self-consciousness in human ...

Spatial echogram analysis of a small auditorium with observations on the dispersion of early reflections

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Lukas Rohr

Classical room acoustics are based on the interpretation of different sound attributes such as reverberation time, clarity and spatial decay. Based on echograms calculated from a microphone array, the dispersion of early reflections is measured and the ref ...

Microlenses on Bragg Reflectors to Create Iridescent Colors

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf

In nature strong colors play an important role in scaring away predators or finding a mate. Often, the strongest and brightest colors arise from coherent scattering and reflection on periodic structures on a length scale of several micro- or nanometers. Un ...

Intensity statistics of Friedel opposites

A previous analysis of the average intensity and mean-square intensity difference of Friedel opposites, conﬁned to the space group P1 [Flack & Shmueli (2007). Acta Cryst. A63, 257–265], is here extended to all the noncentrosymmetric space groups. The prese ...

Étude des fondements physiques possibles des concepts numériques utilisés dans les méthodes d'acoustique géométrique

Thomas Guignard

The subject of the work presented here is the study of the acoustical ray method, which aims at describing a pressure field by an analogy with light rays. The concept of a wave is therefore replaced by the concept of "acoustical rays", whose paths through ...

Design of a time-efficient video-goniophotometer combining bidirectional functions assessment for transmission and reflection

Marilyne Andersen, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Christian Roecker

A detailed knowledge of the light distribution characteristics through advanced window systems is required to improve the visual comfort of the building's occupants while controlling the propagation of daylight in rooms and the solar gains. An innovative b ...
