Localized model order reduction and domain decomposition methods for coupled heterogeneous systems

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Niccolo' Discacciati

We propose a model order reduction technique to accurately approximate the behavior of multi-component systems without any a-priori knowledge of the coupled model. In the offline phase, we construct independent surrogate models by solving the local problem ...

Avalanche risks management as intangible cultural heritage

Florence Graezer Bideau, Chiara Maria Bortolotto

This paper tackles Avalanche Risks Management (ARM), nominated by Switzerland and Austria and inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2018. On the one hand, this nomination conventionally highlights how traditional em ...

Spatial symmetries in nonlocal multipolar metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Ville Tuovi Tiukuvaara

We propose a framework that connects the spatial symmetries of a metasurface to its material parameter tensors and its scattering matrix. This provides a simple and universal way to effortlessly determine the properties of a metasurface scattering response ...

Rituals of art and science to decompart(mentalize) knowledge

Bruno Herbelin

We here explore the potential of rituals in order to more fully comprehend the subjective mechanisms of listening, leading to a broader understanding of phenomenal consciousness (why and how do I know that I am experiencing something?). The originality of ...

How Leibniz read Pascal’s Geometry: The Practice of Reading as Hybrid Hermeneutics in the Materiality of Leibniz’s Pascaliana

Simon François Dumas Primbault

Between 1675 and 1676, while in Paris, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) got privileged access to some geometric manuscripts from late Blaise Pascal’s hand. Although said manuscripts are not extant, Leibniz’s reading notes were preserved, together with ...

Explore, engage, empower: methodological insights into a transformative mixed methods study tackling the COVID-19 lockdown

Vincent Kaufmann, Daniel Gatica-Perez, Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Livia Bianca Fritz, Anna Pagani, Garance Clément, Laurie Daffe, Melissa Pang, Ulrike Vilsmaier

Action-oriented, transformative, and transdisciplinary approaches are increasingly heralded as promising tools that enable researchers not only to produce new knowledge about a situation, but also to actively engage in tackling it; however, such approaches ...

Accurate equilibrium-based interlaminar stress recovery for isogeometric laminated composite Kirchhoff plates

Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Alessandro Reali

Despite the accelerated deployment of laminated composites in a wide variety of markets due to their peculiar engineering features, the design of those materials is often restrained by the lack of cost-efficient modeling techniques. In fact, the existing s ...

Tactile spatial discrimination on the torso using vibrotactile and force stimulation

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Masayuki Hara, Matteo Franza

There is a steadily growing number of mobile communication systems that provide spatially encoded tactile information to the humans’ torso. However, the increased use of such hands-off displays is currently not matched with or supported by systematic perce ...

Epistemic Images in Early-Modern Mixed Mathematics

Simon François Dumas Primbault

Challenging Ancient textual authorities, images are ubiquitous in the early-modern regime of knowledge: from Vesalius’ De humani corporis fabrica to Newton’s Principia through Hooke’s Micrographia, illustrations, depictions, figures, diagrams, and schemati ...

Lieu hologrammatique, un concept et une méthodologie complexe de mesure de l'organisation spatiale des réalités sociales

Thibault Pierre Louis Romany

The urban is a complex phenomenon whose exploration remains a important scientific challenge. Choosing complex thought in order to renew our capacities for understanding and action on and with the urban is not trivial. The complex thought developed by Edga ...

Social Learning With Partial Information Sharing

Ali H. Sayed, Virginia Bordignon

This work studies the learning abilities of agents sharing partial beliefs over social networks. The agents observe data that could have risen from one of several hypotheses and interact locally to decide whether the observations they are receiving have ri ...

Utilization of research knowledge in sustainable development pathways: Insights from a transdisciplinary research-for-development programme

Thomas Guillaume, Jessie Madrazo Bacallao

This study contributes to the ongoing discussion on how to attribute and evaluate the contribution of transdisciplinary research to sustainable development. As co-created knowledge is a key product of transdisciplinary research, we tested the hypothesis th ...

The Epistemological Foundations of Freud's Energetics Model

Pierre Magistretti

This article aims to clarify the epistemological foundations of the Freudian energetics model, starting with a historical review of the 19th century scientific context in which Freud's research lay down its roots. Beyond the physiological and anatomical re ...

Autonomous illumination control for localization microscopy

Suliana Manley, Kyle Michael Douglass, Baptiste Romain Samuel Ottino, Marcel Stefko

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy improves spatial resolution, but this comes at a loss of image throughput and presents unique challenges in identifying optimal acquisition parameters. Microscope automation routines can offset these drawbacks, but ...

A Forward Regridding Method with Minimal Oversampling for Accurate and Efficient Iterative Tomographic Algorithms

Masih Nilchian, Marco Stampanoni

Reconstruction of underconstrained tomographic data sets remains a major challenge. Standard analytical techniques frequently lead to unsatisfactory results due to insufficient information. Several iterative algorithms, which can easily integrate a priori ...

Environmental Field Estimation with Hybrid-Mobility Sensor Networks

Alcherio Martinoli, William Christopher Evans, Duarte Da Cruz Baptista Dias, Steven Adriaan Roelofsen

The remarkable accessibility of modern flying robots makes them an attractive platform for environmental sensing. However, low cost and ease of use are currently incompatible with large payloads, severely limiting the choice of sensor and ultimately modali ...

Joint image reconstruction and segmentation using the Potts model

Michaël Unser, Martin Kurt Storath

We propose a new algorithmic approach to the non-smooth and non-convex Potts problem (also called piecewise-constant Mumford-Shah problem) for inverse imaging problems. We derive a suitable splitting into specific subproblems that can all be solved efficie ...

Concepts of Information Content and Likelihood in Parameter Calibration for Hydrological Simulation Models

There remains a great deal of uncertainty about uncertainty estimation in hydrological modeling. Given that hydrology is still a subject limited by the available measurement techniques, it does not appear that the issue of epistemic error in hydrological d ...
