Observing the Central Arctic Atmosphere and Surface with University of Colorado uncrewed aircraft systems

Julia Schmale, Radiance Flore Aurore Calmer

Over a five-month time window between March and July 2020, scientists deployed two small uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS) to the central Arctic Ocean as part of legs three and four of the MOSAiC expedition. These sUAS were flown to measure the thermodynami ...

Multi-Objective Optimization of Grooved Gas Journal Bearings for Robustness in Manufacturing Tolerances

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

A tolerancing method highlighting trade-offs against key design variables of mechanical systems is proposed and applied to herringbone-grooved gas journal bearings. Gas bearings typically suffer from a subsynchronous instability, demanding a very tight tol ...

Bits through Time

Elie Najm

In any communication system, there exist two dimensions through which the information at the source becomes distorted before reaching the destination: the noisy channel and time. Messages transmitted through a noisy channel are susceptible to modification ...

Hardware-conscious Query Processing in GPU-accelerated Analytical Engines

Anastasia Ailamaki, Periklis Chrysogelos, Panagiotis Sioulas

In order to improve their power efficiency and computational capacity, modern servers are adopting hardware accelerators, especially GPUs. Modern analytical DMBS engines have been highly optimized for multi-core multi-CPU query execution, but lack the nece ...

Content Based Status Updates

Emre Telatar, Elie Najm, Rajai Nasser

Consider a stream of status updates generated by a source, where each update is of one of two types: priority or ordinary; these updates are to be transmitted through a network to a monitor. We analyze a transmission policy that treats updates depending on ...

Slalom: Coasting Through Raw Data via Adaptive Partitioning and Indexing

Anastasia Ailamaki, Manolis Karpathiotakis, Ioannis Alagiannis, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis, Matthaios Alexandros Olma

The constant flux of data and queries alike has been pushing the boundaries of data analysis systems. The increasing size of raw data files has made data loading an expensive operation that delays the data-to-insight time. Hence, recent in-situ query proce ...

Coexistence of Multiple Nonlinear States in a Tristable Passive Kerr Resonator

Miles Henry Anderson

Passive Kerr cavities driven by coherent laser fields display a rich landscape of nonlinear physics, including bistability, pattern formation, and localized dissipative structures (solitons). Their conceptual simplicity has for several decades offered an u ...

A versatile setup for ultrafast broadband optical spectroscopy of coherent collective modes in strongly correlated quantum systems

Fabrizio Carbone, Edoardo Baldini, Frank van Mourik, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Andreas Helmut Christian Mann, Simone Borroni

A femtosecond pump-probe setup is described that is optimised for broadband tran- sient reflectivity experiments on solid samples over a wide temperature range. By combining high temporal resolution and a broad detection window, this apparatus can investig ...

When Constant-time Source Yields Variable-time Binary: Exploiting Curve25519-donna Built with MSVC 2015

Serge Vaudenay

The elliptic curve Curve25519 has been presented as pro- tected against state-of-the-art timing attacks [2]. This paper shows that a timing attack is still achievable against a particular X25519 implemen- tation which follows the RFC 7748 requirements [11] ...

Improving systems software security through program analysis and instrumentation

Volodymyr Kuznetsov

Security and reliability bugs are prevalent in systems software. Systems code is often written in low-level languages like C/C++, which offer many benefits but also delegate memory management and type safety to programmers. This invites bugs that cause cra ...

Windows and renovation: The case of 19th century ordinary housing in Switzerland

Luca Ortelli, Catarina Wall Gago, Peter Zurbrügg

Ordinary residential buildings dating from late nineteenth century and early twentieth century are an essential part of the European urban built environment. Today, it is important to address the comfort of residents through renovations improving the build ...

An optimally concentrated Gabor transform for localized time-frequency components

Benjamin Ricaud

Gabor analysis is one of the most common instances of time-frequency signal analysis. Choosing a suitable window for the Gabor transform of a signal is often a challenge for practical applications, in particular in audio signal processing. Many time-freque ...

Hydrologic Variability Affects Invertebrate Grazing on Phototrophic Biofilms in Stream Microcosms

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Tom Ian Battin, Lorenzo Mari, Serena Ceola, Gianluca Botter

The temporal variability of streamflow is known to be a key feature structuring and controlling fluvial ecological communities and ecosystem processes. Although alterations of streamflow regime due to habitat fragmentation or other anthropogenic factors ar ...

Fast Directional Spatially Localized Spherical Harmonic Transform

Yves Wiaux, Jason Douglas McEwen

We propose a transform for signals defined on the sphere that reveals their localized directional content in the spatio-spectral domain when used in conjunction with an asymmetric window function. We call this transform the directional spatially localized ...

The effects of mutual location-awareness on group coordination

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova

The importance of space and place in collaborative practices has been strengthened with the ubiquitous computing paradigm, which aims at the integration of computation in physical objects and places. New location-based applications allow users to know wher ...

Trace Metal Speciation and Bioavailability in Surface Waters of the Black Sea Coastal Area Evaluated by HF-PLM and DGT

Trace metal speciation in seawater from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast was studied in situ by hollow fiber permeation liquid membrane (HF-PLM) and by diffusion gradients in thin-film gels (DGT). The concentrations of Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb determined by HF-PLM ...

The age of gossip: Spatial mean-field regime

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Nikodin Ristanovic

Disseminating a piece of information, or updates for a piece of information, has been shown to benefit greatly from simple randomized procedures, sometimes referred to as gossiping, or epidemic algorithms. Similarly, in a network where mobile nodes occasio ...
