Mode I and Mode II fracture behavior in pultruded glass fiber-polymer - Experimental and numerical investigation

Many recent works have shown that the capacity of pultruded glass fiber-polymer structural members is governed by interlaminar failure. However, there is still a lack of information regarding the fracture properties associated and the best techniques to be ...

Many-body Green?s function approach to lattice thermal transport

Nicola Marzari, Michele Simoncelli

Recent progress in understanding thermal transport in complex crystals has highlighted the prominent role of heat conduction mediated by interband tunneling processes, which emerge between overlapping phonon bands (i.e., with energy differences smaller tha ...

On Generalizations of Some Distance Based Classifiers for HDLSS Data

Soham Sarkar

In high dimension, low sample size (HDLSS) settings, classifiers based on Euclidean distances like the nearest neighbor classifier and the average distance classifier perform quite poorly if differences between locations of the underlying populations get m ...

Human mortality at extreme age

Anthony Christopher Davison, Léo Raymond-Belzile

We use a combination of extreme value statistics, survival analysis and computer-intensive methods to analyse the mortality of Italian and French semi-supercentenarians. After accounting for the effects of the sampling frame, extreme-value modelling leads ...

Effect of fibre orientation and bulk modulus on the electromechanical modelling of human ventricles

Alfio Quarteroni, Antonello Gerbi, Luca Azzolin

This work concerns the mathematical and numerical modeling of the heart. The aim is to enhance the understanding of the cardiac function in both physiological and pathological conditions. Along this road, a challenge arises from the multi-scale and multi-p ...

Segregated Algorithms for the Numerical Simulation of Cardiac Electromechanics in the Left Human Ventricle

Alfio Quarteroni

We propose and numerically assess three segregated ( partitioned) algorithms for the numerical solution of the coupled electromechanics problem for the left human ventricle. We split the coupled problem into its core mathematical models and we proceed to t ...

Coordinate Difference Matrices

Martin Vetterli, Gilles Baechler, Miranda Krekovic, Golnooshsadat Elhami

In many problems such as phase retrieval, molecular biology, source localization, and sensor array calibration, one can measure vector differences between pairs of points and attempt to recover the position of these points; this class of problems is called ...

Biomembrane modeling with isogeometric analysis

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Andrea Bartezzaghi

We consider the numerical approximation of lipid biomembranes at equilibrium described by the Canham-Helfrich model, according to which the bending energy is minimized under area and volume constraints. Energy minimization is performed via L-2-gradient flo ...

Investigating prospective memory via eye tracking: No evidence for a monitoring deficit in older adults

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs

Prospective memory (PM) refers to remembering to perform intended actions in the future. Older adults in particular have been shown to be negatively affected by PM tasks that require a high amount of attentional resources (i.e., nonfocal tasks). This age-r ...

Discrete choice and machine learning: Thomson and Thompson?

Michel Bierlaire

Classification methods from machine learning are receiving a lot of attention in the transportation modelling community. This is motivated by the access to large databases, and to various success stories reported in this research community. Discrete choice ...

Iterative Classroom Teaching

Pierre Dillenbourg, Volkan Cevher, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Louis Pierre Faucon, Shuqing Teresa Yeo, Kamalaruban Parameswaran

We consider the machine teaching problem in a classroom-like setting wherein the teacher has to deliver the same examples to a diverse group of students. Their diversity stems from differences in their initial internal states as well as their learning rate ...

New Approaches to Artistic Synthesis Relying on Visual Perception

Mahmut Sami Arpa

Artists often take advantage of the limitations of the human visual system to create art that provides new experiences for the observers. Similarly, in this thesis, we explore new computational artistic compositions that create new visual experiences by re ...

Structure from sound with incomplete data

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Gilles Baechler, Miranda Krekovic

In this paper, we consider the problem of jointly localizing a microphone array and identifying the direction of arrival of acoustic events. Under the assumption that the sources are in the far field, this problem can be formulated as a constrained low-ran ...

A monolithic algorithm for the simulation of cardiac electromechanics in the human left ventricle

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Antonello Gerbi

In this paper, we propose a monolithic algorithm for the numerical solution of the electromechanics model of the left ventricle in the human heart. Our coupled model integrates the monodomain equation with the Bueno-Orovio minimal model for electrophysiolo ...

Isogeometric Analysis for High Order Geometric Partial Differential Equations with Applications

Andrea Bartezzaghi

In this thesis, we consider the numerical approximation of high order geometric Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). We first consider high order PDEs defined on surfaces in the 3D space that are represented by single-patch tensor product NURBS. Then, we ...

Classification of Resilience Techniques Against Functional Errors at Higher Abstraction Layers of Digital Systems

David Atienza Alonso

Nanoscale technology nodes bring reliability concerns back to the center stage of digital system design. A systematic classification of approaches that increase system resilience in the presence of functional hardware (HW)-induced errors is presented, deal ...

How do Stability Corrections Perform in the Stable Boundary Layer Over Snow?

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Sebastian Schlögl, Koichi Nishimura

We assess sensible heat-flux parametrizations in stable conditions over snow surfaces by testing and developing stability correction functions for two alpine and two polar test sites. Five turbulence datasets are analyzed with respect to, (a) the validity ...
