Transformations silencieuses : étude sur l'architecture alpine

This thesis addresses the question of abandonment in architecture, not in its negative sense of desertion, but as a possibility offered to buildings which have lost their original purpose, which is to say those buildings from social and economic contexts w ...

Finding Second-Order Stationary Points in Constrained Minimization: A Feasible Direction Approach

Shaul Nadav Hallak

This paper introduces a method for computing points satisfying the second-order necessary optimality conditions for nonconvex minimization problems subject to a closed and convex constraint set. The method comprises two independent steps corresponding to t ...

Jamming with Tunable Roughness

Matthieu Wyart, Carolina Brito Carvalho dos Santos

We introduce a new model to study the effect of surface roughness on the jamming transition. By performing numerical simulations, we show that for a smooth surface, the jamming transition density and the contact number at the transition point both increase ...

Increasing the stability of nanofluids with cavitating flows in micro orifices

Yusuf Leblebici, Morteza Ghorbani

One of the most critical challenges for nanofluids in practical applications is related to their stability and reusability since a gradual agglomeration of nanoparticles in nanofluids occurs with time and is accelerated by heating. In this study, we propos ...

Nematodynamics and random homogenization

Tudor Ratiu

We study the homogenization problem for the system of equations of dynamics of a mixture of liquid crystals with random structure. We consider a simplified form of the Ericksen-Leslie equations for an incompressible medium with inhomogeneous density with r ...

Medial axis transformation as a solid modeling representation method for computer aided design software

Paul Xirouchakis, Ian Anthony Stroud, Mihai-Bogdan Lazar, Florian Barras, Guillaume Goualard

A method for achieving a representation of an object within a data structure for a Computer Aided Design system employing a Medial Axis Transformation (MAT), the representation of the object comprising a set of adjacent bounded surface elements called MAT ...

Partial Recovery Bounds for the Sparse Stochastic Block Model

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

In this paper, we study the information-theoretic limits of community detection in the symmetric two-community stochastic block model, with intra-community and inter-community edge probabilities

On the eigenvalue decay of solutions to operator Lyapunov equations

Daniel Kressner

This paper is concerned with the eigenvalue decay of the solution to operator Lyapunov equations with right-hand sides of finite rank. We show that the kth (generalized) eigenvalue decays exponentially in root k, provided that the involved operator A gener ...

Searches for B-(s)(0) -> J/psi p(p)over-bar and B+ -> J/psi p(p)over-bar pi(+) decays

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, Julien Rouvinet, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Raluca Anca Muresan, Michel De Cian, Johan Luisier, Luca Pescatore, Christophe Salzmann, Anne Keune, Vincent Fave, Jian Wang, Yi Zhang, Lei Zhang, Jessica Prisciandaro, Mark Tobin, Minh Tâm Tran, Niko Neufeld, Matthew Needham, Marc-Olivier Bettler, Greig Alan Cowan, Maurizio Martinelli, Vladislav Balagura, Donal Patrick Hill, Cédric Potterat, Liang Sun, Pietro Marino, Jean Wicht, Ilya Komarov, Plamen Hristov Hopchev, Bastien Luca Muster, Frédéric Guillaume Dupertuis, Pierre Jaton, Joël Bressieux, Songmei Wu, Raphael Märki, Hans Dijkstra, Gerhard Raven, Peter Clarke, Frédéric Teubert, Giovanni Carboni, Victor Coco, Adam Davis, Paolo Durante, Wenyu Zhang

The results of searches for B-(s)(0) -> J/psi p (p) over bar and B+ J/psi p (p) over bar pi(+) decays are reported. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1) of pp collisions, collected with the LHCb de ...

Refractive Index Sensing with Subradiant Modes: A Framework To Reduce Losses in Plasmonic Nanostructures

Olivier Martin, Benjamin Gallinet

Plasmonic modes with long radiative lifetimes, subradiant modes, combine strong confinement of the electromagnetic energy at the nanoscale with a steep spectral dispersion, which makes them promising for biochemical sensors or immunoassays. Subradiant mode ...

The Bounded Confidence Model Of Opinion Dynamics

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Javier Gomez Serrano

The bounded confidence model of opinion dynamics, introduced by Deffuant et al, is a stochastic model for the evolution of continuous-valued opinions within a finite group of peers. We prove that, as time goes to infinity, the opinions evolve globally into ...

Evolution of Cache Replacement Policies to Track Heavy-Hitter Flows

Marco Canini

Several important network applications cannot easily scale to higher data rates without requiring focusing just on the large traffic flows. Recent works have discussed algorithmic solutions that trade-off accuracy to gain efficiency for filtering and track ...

Search for B+→D*+π0 decay

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Vladislav Balagura, Jean Wicht, Xiao Wang

We report on a search for the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay B+→D*+π0, based on a data sample of 657×106 BB̄ pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We find no significant signal and set ...

On the Long-Run Behavior of Equation-Based Rate Control

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Milan Vojnovic

We consider unicast equation-based rate control, where, at some points in time, a sender adjusts its rate to f(p,r), where p is an on-line estimate of the loss-event rate observed by this source, r of the average round-trip time, and f is a TCP throughput ...
