On the numerical simulation of a confined cavitating tip leakage vortex under geometrical and operational uncertainties

Mohamed Farhat

The effects of operational and geometrical uncertainties on Tip Leakage Vortex (TLV) characteristics are investigated in the current research. Geometrical uncertainties are comprised of manufacturing tolerances or gradual geometry degradation over the time ...

Improved modelling of a monomorph piezoelectric actuator for linear self-sensing applications

Yves Perriard, Louis Antoine Masson

Based on a previous approach for the modelling of piezoelectric monomorph benders, a new, more complete, analytical model is proposed. Some previously neglected features of the actuator stack, notably the thickness of the electrodes and the presence of iso ...

Functional Peaks-Over-Threshold Analysis for Complex Extreme Events

Most current risk assessment for complex extreme events relies on catalogues of similar events, either historical or generated artificially. In the latter, no existing methods produce completely new events with mathematically justified extrapolation above ...

Discrimination of numerical proportions: A comparison of binomial and Gaussian models

Aire Raidvee

Observers discriminated the numerical proportion of two sets of elements (N = 9, 13, 33, and 65) that differed either by color or orientation. According to the standard Thurstonian approach, the accuracy of proportion discrimination is determined by irredu ...

Wide-baseline object interpolation using shape prior regularization of epipolar plane images

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

This paper considers the synthesis of intermediate views of an object captured by two calibrated and widely spaced cameras. Based only on those two very different views, our paper proposes to reconstruct the object Epipolar Plane Image Volume [1] (EPIV), w ...

Optimization Of Compound Regularization Parameters Based On Stein'S Unbiased Risk Estimate

Xin Liu, Hanjie Pan

Recently, the type of compound regularizers has become a popular choice for signal reconstruction. The estimation quality is generally sensitive to the values of multiple regularization parameters. In this work, based on BDF algorithm, we develop a data-dr ...

Elliptical tempered stable distribution

Elliptical distributions are useful for modelling multivariate data, multivariate normal and Student t distributions being two special classes. In this paper, we provide a definition for the elliptical tempered stable (ETS) distribution based on its charac ...

Capacity and Data Complexity in Multidimensional Linear Attack

Serge Vaudenay, Jialin Huang

Multidimensional linear attacks are one of the most powerful variants of linear cryptanalytic techniques now. However, there is no knowledge on the key-dependent capacity and data complexity so far. Their values were assumed to be close to the average valu ...

Snow particle characteristics in the saltation layer

Michael Lehning, Benjamin Andreas Walter

Shadowgraphy was employed to study snow saltation in boundary-layer wind tunnel experiments with fresh, naturally deposited snow. The shadowgraphy method allowed for a temporally and spatially high-resolution investigation of snow particle characteristics ...

Experimental investigation of collagen waviness and orientation in the arterial adventitia using confocal laser scanning microscopy

Michaël Unser, Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Alessandra Griffa, Daniel Sage, Aristotelis Agianniotis, Jelle Tymen Christiaan Schrauwen

Mechanical properties of the adventitia are largely determined by the organization of collagen fibers. Measurements on the waviness and orientation of collagen, particularly at the zero-stress state, are necessary to relate the structural organization of c ...

Stochastic simulation of intermittent DSD fields in time

Alexis Berne, Marc Schleiss, Joël Jaffrain

A method for the stochastic simulation of (rain)drop size distributions (DSDs) in space and time using geostatistics is presented. At each pixel, the raindrop size distribution is described by a Gamma distribution with two or three stochastic parameters. T ...

Approximate Ergodic Capacity of a Class of Fading 2-user 2-hop Networks

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Chien-Yi Wang

We consider a fading AWGN 2-user 2-hop network in which the channel coefficients are independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.) drawn from a continuous distribution and vary over time. For a broad class of channel distributions, we characterize the ...

Dynamic fragmentation of a ring: Predictable fragment mass distributions

Jean-François Molinari, Anthony Christopher Davison, Sarah Levy

We employ a finite element framework, coupled to cohesive elements, to model material decohesion of a uniformly expanding ring. Our study focuses on the average fragment mass, the distribution of fragment masses, and the heaviest fragments. The computed fr ...

Benford's Law and Its Application to Lightning Data

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Pooyan Manoochehrnia

Benford's law applies to a wide variety of natural and man-made datasets and it has been successfully applied to test the integrity of data and to detect possible fraud and anomalous results in economy, politics, and management studies. In this paper, we i ...

Experimental characterization of the distribution of collagen fiber recruitment

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Sylvain Roy, Christophe Boss

The passive biomechanical behavior of blood vessels is generally modeled by a parallel arrangement of elastin and collagen, with collagen recruitment depending on vessel strain. We experimentally determined the collagen recruitment distribution using confo ...

Extreme events in total ozone over Arosa---Part 1: Application of extreme value theory

Anthony Christopher Davison

In this study ideas from extreme value theory are for the first time applied in the field of stratospheric ozone research, because statistical analysis showed that previously used concepts assuming a Gaussian distribution (e.g. fixed deviations from mean v ...

Geostatistical simulation of 2D fields of raindrop size distributions at the meso-gamma scale

Alexis Berne, Marc Schleiss

The large variability of the drop size distribution (DSD) in space and time must be taken into account to improve remote sensing of precipitation. The ability to simulate a large number of 2D fields of DSD sharing the same statistical properties provides a ...
