Non-normal forms

In this thesis, we propose to formally derive amplitude equations governing the weakly nonlinear evolution of non-normal dynamical systems, when they respond to harmonic or stochastic forcing, or to an initial condition. This approach reconciles the non-mo ...

Equity ownership and identification with the founding team

Eva Maria Weissenböck

Founders benefit from identifying with their founding teams because identification facilitates cooperation in the team, aligns founders' actions with the norms and interests of the team, and, ultimately, enhances team performance. High identification with ...

Involvement of prelimbic cortex neurons and related circuits in the acquisition of a cooperative learning by pairs of rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Elias Georges Gebara, Ana del Rocio Conde Moro

Social behaviors such as cooperation are crucial for mammals. A deeper knowledge of the neuronal mechanisms underlying cooperation can be beneficial for people suffering from pathologies with impaired social behavior. Our aim was to study the brain activit ...

Predicting the long-term collective behaviour of fish pairs with deep learning

Francesco Mondada, Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Vaios Papaspyros

Modern computing has enhanced our understanding of how social interactions shape collective behaviour in animal societies. Although analytical models dominate in studying collective behaviour, this study introduces a deep learning model to assess social in ...

Resistances to change in urban travel behaviors

Marc-Edouard Baptiste Grégoire Schultheiss

The social discourse surrounding the climate emergency progressively infuses the society, transforming into both micro- and macro-social injunctions to change. Yet, society - grounded in a territorial, social, and cultural contingency - appears to resist t ...

Stimulation of medial amygdala GABA neurons with kinetically different channelrhodopsins yields opposite behavioral outcomes

Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Aiste Baleisyte

The medial amygdala (MeA) receives pheromone information about conspecifics and has crucial functions in social behaviors. A previous study showed that activation of GABA neurons in the postero-dorsal MeA (MeApd) with channelrhodopsin-2(H)(134R) (ChR2) sti ...

Meta Navigation Functions: Adaptive Associations for Coordination of Multi-Agent Systems

Matin Macktoobian

In this paper, we introduce a new class of potential fields, i.e., meta navigation functions (MNFs) to coordinate multi-agent systems. Thanks to the MNF formulation, agents can contribute to each other's coordination via partial and/or total associations, ...

Turning crowds into communities: The collectives of online citizen science

Jérôme Baudry

Over the past two decades, a number of digital platforms have been developed with the aim of engaging citizens in scientific research projects. The success of these platforms depends in no small part on their ability to attract and retain participants, tur ...

Impacts of Metering-Based Dynamic Priority Schemes

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

Several works published over the last two decades have shown for a stylized set-up with homogeneous users that metering-based priority (MBP) schemes may generate Pareto improving departure time adjustments similar to those induced by congestion pricing, bu ...

An Institutional Approach to Normative Distributed Robotics for Mixed Societies of Humans and Robots

Alicja Barbara Roelofsen

We are entering the era of robots, for everyone, everywhere. The expectations of the robots being reliable, intelligent and friendly artificial creatures drive the key challenges of the state-of-the-art robotics: technological, practical and social. The la ...

Determinants of Different Types of Positive Environmental Behaviors: An Analysis of Public and Private Sphere Actions

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Ralph Hansmann

A survey of 1206 participants investigated determinants of positive environmental behaviors (PEBs) in Switzerland. Based on a principle component analysis on data for 23 different PEBs, three behavior types were distinguished: (i) public sphere PEBs with p ...

Towards Norm Realization in Institutions Mediating Human-Robot Societies

Alcherio Martinoli, Stevan Tomic, Alicja Barbara Roelofsen

Social norms are the understandings that govern the behavior of members of a society. As such, they regulate communication, cooperation and other social interactions. Robots capable of reasoning about social norms are more likely to be recognized as an ext ...

Stress, glucocorticoid receptor and social behaviors

Peripuberty, comprising childhood and adolescence, constitutes an important time window in the brain development and maturation. Exposure to prolonged stress during this period has been shown to increase the risk for the development of psychopathologies la ...

Geneva's philanthropists around 1900: a field made of distinctive but interconnected social groups

Thomas David

This article analyses the social profile of Geneva's philanthropists around 1900. It shows that, contrary to what the literature on philanthropy argues, philanthropists belonged to varied social groups defined by diverse forms of capital (economic, social ...

Structuring socio-technical complexity in infrastructure systems: an agent-based model

Reinier Verhoog, Amineh Ghorbani

In this paper we demonstrate how agent-based modelling can be used to understand the emergence of a new infrastructure system, more specifically, a biogas infrastructure in the Netherlands. The innovative element in our modelling approach is the use of MAI ...

Explaining the diversity of motivations behind community renewable energy

Thomas Jean F Bauwens

Community-based renewable energy initiatives may be important actors in the transition toward low-carbon energy systems. In turn, stimulating investments in renewable energy production at the community level requires a better understanding of investors' mo ...

Dissipative Boundary Conditions for Nonlinear 1-D Hyperbolic Systems: Sharp Conditions Through an Approach via Time-Delay Systems

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

We analyze dissipative boundary conditions for nonlinear hyperbolic systems in one space dimension. We show that a known sufficient condition for exponential stability with respect to the H-2-norm is not sufficient for the exponential stability with respec ...

Global Well-Posedness For The Maxwell-Klein-Gordon Equation In 4+1 Dimensions: Small Energy

Joachim Krieger, Daniel Tataru

We prove that the critical Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equation on R4+1 is globally well-posed for smooth initial data which are small in the energy norm. This reduces the problem of global regularity for large, smooth initial data to precluding concentration of ...
