Voices from the Frontline: Revealing the AI Practitioners' viewpoint on the European AI Act

Kathrin Grosse

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in an ever larger number of industries. Alongside this development, however, abundant works argue that AI-driven systems are lacking in terms of safety, ethics and transparency. As a direct consequence, the ...

Stability and degradation of (oxy)nitride photocatalysts for solar water splitting

Sophia Haussener, Franky Esteban Bedoya Lora

Advancing towards alternative technologies for the sustainable production of hydrogen is a necessity for the successful integration of this potentially green fuel in the future. Photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical water splitting are promising concepts ...

The Dimension of the Body in Higher Education: Matrix of Meanings in Students’ Diaries

Simon Nessim Henein, Ramiro Tau

In this paper, we attempt to show some consequences of bringing the body back into higher education, through the use of performing arts in the curricular context of scientific programs. We start by arguing that dominant traditions in higher education repro ...

The organisation of science: topics, incentives and funding

Omar Ballester Gonzalez

Ever since the links between the development of new technologies and economic growth became evident, researchers have attempted to study how the creation of knowledge fosters progress. If pushing the frontier of knowledge has an impact on progress and well ...

Stress management in the context of induced seismicity in subsurface reservoirs

Barnaby Padraig Fryer

The stress state of the subsurface has been shown to have an influence on a number of key processes. For example, the criticality of the stress state indicates how large stress changes need to be before a fault begins to slip, the mean effective stress con ...

Development of an AFM-based nanomotion detection device for microbiological samples

Wojciech Chomicki

The main goals of this thesis pertain to the development of a device capable of detecting microorganism viability through monitoring the oscillations of a microscopic cantilever transducer, to improve the presently used device and to attempt to explain in ...

Stable Manifold for the Critical Non-Linear Wave Equation: A Fourier Theory Approach

Gérôme Graf

I will try to explain, without going into too much detail, how one can consider a non-linear wave equation as a dynamical system and what it brings to the study of its solutions. We begin by considering our model case, the non-linear Klein-Gordon equation ...

Lean synthesis and application to lower-limb exoskeletons

Tristan Hubert Vouga

Mobility impairments are the most prevalent of all disabilities, affecting the life of nearly one in 20 individuals in developed countries. In the most severe cases, they can have dramatic consequences for the social, mental and physical well-being of thos ...

Built-in, exposed or concealed comfort services. Attempts (incomplete) to industrialise collective housing after 1945

Giulia Marino

Simultaneous consideration of active devices – especially mechanical heating and ventilation – and passive devices – including insulation and waterproofing of building envelopes – was one of the most notable aspects of studies of the management of physiolo ...

How Computer Science Risks to Lose its Innocence, and Should Attempt to Take Responsibility

Karl Aberer

Computer science is playing a driving role in transforming today's society through information technology. In this transformation we observe power shifts increasingly strengthening centralised organisations, which are negatively perceived by many people. W ...

A Historical Review of Diachrony and Semantic Dimensions of Trace in Neurosciences and Lacanian Psychoanalysis

Stochastic optimization of sailing trajectories in an upwind regatta

Stephan Morgenthaler, Robert Dalang, Sylvain Sardy

In a sailboat race, the navigator's attempts to plot the fastest possible course are hindered by shifty winds. We present mathematical models appropriate for this situation, which use statistical analysis of wind fluctuations and are amenable to stochastic ...

The centre cannot hold: untangling two different trajectories of the 'approaches to learning'framework

Roland John Tormey

The ‘deep/surface approach to learning’ framework is widely used in higher education. Its perceived strength is that it is regarded as having two functions: both being (1) a useful metaphor for development of teaching and learning in higher education and ( ...

Sensitivity of aerodynamic forces in laminar and turbulent flow past a square cylinder

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Philippe Meliga

We use adjoint-based gradients to analyze the sensitivity of the drag force on a square cylinder. At Re = 40, the flow settles down to a steady state. The quantity of interest in the adjoint formulation is the steady asymptotic value of drag reached after ...

Sparsity and the Bayesian perspective

Anaïs Marie Rassat

Sparsity has recently been introduced in cosmology for weak-lensing and cosmic microwave background (CMB) data analysis for different applications such as denoising, component separation, or inpainting (i.e., filling the missing data or the mask). Although ...
