Altruism, reciprocity, and tokens to reward forwarding data: Is that fair?

Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes

Decentralized storage networks offer services with intriguing possibilities to reduce inequalities in an extremely centralized market. Fair distribution of rewards, however, is still a persistent problem in the current generation of decentralized applicati ...

Predicting exposure concentrations of chemicals with a wide range of volatility and hydrophobicity in different multi-well plate set-ups

Kristin Schirmer, Julita Maria Stadnicka-Michalak

Quantification of chemical toxicity in small-scale bioassays is challenging owing to small volumes used and extensive analytical resource needs. Yet, relying on nominal concentrations for effect determination maybe erroneous because loss processes can sign ...

Affine Combination of Diffusion Strategies Over Networks

Ali H. Sayed

Diffusion adaptation is a powerful strategy for distributed estimation and learning over networks. Motivated by the concept of combining adaptive filters, this work proposes a combination framework that aggregates the operation of multiple diffusion strate ...

Concrete Dam Displacement Prediction Based on an ISODATA-GMM Clustering and Random Coefficient Model

Zhenzhu Meng

Displacement data modelling is of great importance for the safety control of concrete dams. The commonly used artificial intelligence method modelled the displacement data at each monitoring point individually, i.e., the data correlations between the monit ...

Assessing spatial temporal patterns of ecosystem services in Switzerland

Jérôme Chenal, Rémi Jaligot, Martí Bosch Padrós

Despite the importance of understanding the historical dynamics of ecosystem services (ES), littleresearch has focused on a historical, spatially explicit, assessment of ES supply. This research is aimed at understanding the spatial patterns and potential ...

Mobile Riverbed Scour Downstream of a Piano Key Weir

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister

In parallel to their most frequent application as an auxiliary dam spillway, piano key weirs (PKWs) are also installed on low-head barrages in combination with run-off-the-river power plants. Their efficient rating curve, advantageous behavior under driftw ...

A Multi Level Monte Carlo Method with Control Variate for elliptic PDEs with log-normal coefficients

Fabio Nobile, Francesco Tesei

We consider the numerical approximation of the stochastic Darcy problem with log-normal permeability field and propose a novel Multi Level Monte Carlo (MLMC) approach with a control variate variance reduction technique on each level. We model the log-perme ...

Wave propagation across rock joints filled with viscoelastic medium using modified recursive method

Jian Zhao, Jianbo Zhu, Wei Wu

Rock joints have significant effects on wave propagation. When the joints are filled with saturated sand or clay, the filling materials exhibit viscoelastic behavior on wave propagation. In the present study, wave propagation across single and multiple par ...

A generalized-gradient approximation exchange hole model for dispersion coefficients

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf

A simple method for computing accurate density-dependent dispersion coefficients is presented. The dispersion coefficients are modeled by a generalized gradient-type approximation to Becke and Johnson's exchange hole dipole moment formalism. Our most cost- ...

Small scale spatial variability of atrazine and dinoseb adsorption parameters in an alluvial soil

André Mermoud, Anne-Catherine Favre

Soil sorption processes largely control the environmental fate of herbicides. Therefore accuracy of sorption parameters is crucial for accurate prediction of herbicide mobility in agricultural soils. A combined experimental and statistical study was carrie ...

Large Blocks of Stock: Prevalence, Size, and Measurement

Rüdiger Fahlenbrach

Large blocks of stock play an important role in many studies of corporate governance and finance. Despite this important role, there is no standardized data set for these blocks, and the best available data source, Compact Disclosure, has many mistakes and ...

Identification of multi-input systems: variance analysis and input design issues

Dominique Bonvin, Alireza Karimi, Ljubisa Miskovic

This paper examines the identification of multi-input systems. Motivated by an experiment design problem (should one excite the various inputs simultaneously or separately), we examine the effect of an additional input on the variance of the estimated coef ...
