The transferability of handwriting skills: from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet

Pierre Dillenbourg, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal

Do handwriting skills transfer when a child writes in two different scripts, such as the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets? Are our measures of handwriting skills intrinsically bound to one alphabet or will a child who faces handwriting difficulties in one scri ...

Complements to Mugge and Friedel's Theory of Twinning

Cyril Cayron

The crystallography of twinning is based on the concepts of simple shear and obliquity introduced by Mugge, Mallard and Friedel at the turn of the last century, with tensor mathematics later developed by Bilby, Bevis and Crocker in the 1960s. We propose a ...

Learning (Good Handwriting In Greek) By Teaching (A Humanoid Robot)

Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Thanasis Hadzilacos

We report on a follow-up study of the Co-Writer project at EPFL [1]; we confirm their findings, extend the applicability to another language with a different alphabet (Greek) and go into an in-depth qualitative study of the child-robot relationship. The co ...

Quantifying Collaboration in Synchronous Document Editing

Adrian Pierre Sergio Pace, Jennifer Kaitlyn Olsen, Louis Antoine Baligand, Stian Haklev

Collaborative synchronous writing tools like Google Docs and Etherpad let multiple users edit the same document and see each others edits in near real-time to simplify collaboration and avoid merge-conflicts. These tools are used extensively across many do ...

Analyzing and Visualizing Ancient Maya Hieroglyphics Using Shape: from Computer Vision to Digital Humanities

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Jean-Marc Odobez, Rui Hu

Maya hieroglyphic analysis requires epigraphers to spend a significant amount of time browsing existing catalogs to identify individual glyphs. Automatic Maya glyph analysis provides an efficient way to assist scholars’ daily work. We introduce the Histogr ...

Three-Dimensional Writing of Highly Stretchable Organic Nanowires

Giorgio Margaritondo

Three-dimensional (3D) writing is a promising approach to realize stretchable electronics, but is so far limited to microscale features. We developed accurate 3D writing for highly stretchable organic nanowire arrays using a nanoscale polymer meniscus. Spe ...

The physics behind free electron lasers (FELs) based on magnetostatic and optical undulators

Giorgio Margaritondo, Primoz Rebernik Ribic

By explicitly writing the equations of motion for highly relativistic electrons in an electromagnetic field we show the equivalence between the magnetostatic and optical (laser) undulator-based free electron lasers (FELs). In order to gain insight into the ...
