Spatial Modeling for Building Design Evaluation: from Visual Landscape Quality Assessment to Devaluation Risk Estimation

Zoning reform is a crucial tool for cities to adapt to contemporary challenges. However, its implementation remains challenging. Property owners, with a vested interest in the value of their neighborhoods, are sensitive to local developments and the potent ...

The Strong Integral Input-to-State Stability Property in Dynamical Flow Networks

Nils Gustav Nilsson

Dynamical flow networks serve as macroscopic models for, e.g., transportation networks, queuing networks, and distribution networks. While the flow dynamics in such networks follow the conservation of mass on the links, the outflow from each link is often ...

Power variations in fractional Sobolev spaces for a class of parabolic stochastic PDEs

Robert Dalang, Carsten Hao Ye Chong

We consider a class of parabolic stochastic PDEs on bounded domains D c Rd that includes the stochastic heat equation but with a fractional power gamma of the Laplacian. Viewing the solution as a process with values in a scale of fractional Sobolev spaces ...

Bias Cancellation of MixColumns

Francesco Regazzoni, Subhadeep Banik, Andrea Felice Caforio

At COSADE'2020, Carre et al. established a novel biascancelling property of the AES MixColumns matrix that effectively corrects any skewed output distribution of a state byte due to a faulty substitution box. Consequently, any effected byte is rendered uni ...

Lamplighters and the bounded cohomology of Thompson's group

Nicolas Monod

We prove the vanishing of the bounded cohomology of lamplighter groups for a wide range of coefficients. This implies the same vanishing for a number of groups with self-similarity properties, such as Thompson's group F. In particular, these groups are bou ...

BLOOM: Bimodal Lattice One-out-of-Many Proofs and Applications

Ngoc Khanh Karol Nguyen

We give a construction of an efficient one-out-of-many proof system, in which a prover shows that he knows the pre-image for one element in a set, based on the hardness of lattice problems. The construction employs the recent zero-knowledge framework of Ly ...

A Politics of Intellectual Property: Creating a Patent System in Revolutionary France

Jérôme Baudry

Economic interpretations, in particular the lens of the Industrial Revolution, have strongly influenced our understanding of the rise of intellectual property. This article examines the political origins of the 1791 patent law in France, which is usually s ...

Towards sufficiency in housing: Agent-based model and transition scenarios

Margarita Agriantoni

Research problem: Housing is responsible for a considerable part of global resource consumption. In Switzerland, it accounts for almost one third of the country's CO2 emissions and half of the total energy demand. Thus, housing plays an important role in t ...

Dynamics of cavitation bubbles near granular boundaries

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

We study the dynamics of a cavitation bubble near beds of sand of different grain sizes. We use high-speed imaging to observe the motion of the bubble and the sand for different values of the stand-off parameter gamma (dimensionless bubble-boundary distanc ...

Géohistoire de l'Albanie moderne. Une lecture des recensements de 1918 à 2011

Alain Nicolas Jarne

In this thesis, an original database is constituted, described and exploited in a geohistorical perspective, containing the registration of the population at the local level for the fifteen censuses conducted in Albania between 1918 and 2011. The precision ...

On the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem for log del Pezzo surfaces in positive characteristic

Emelie Kerstin Arvidsson, Fabio Bernasconi

We prove the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem for surfaces of del Pezzo type over perfect fields of positive characteristic p > 5. As a consequence, we show that klt threefold singularities over a perfect base field of characteristic p > 5 are rational. ...

A pathwise approach to the extinction of branching processes with countably many types

Sophie Myriam Hautphenne

We consider the extinction events of Galton-Watson processes with countably infinitely many types. In particular, we construct truncated and augmented Galton-Watson processes with finite but increasing sets of types. A pathwise approach is then used to sho ...

A lower bound on opaque sets

János Pach

It is proved that the total length of any set of countably many rectifiable curves whose union meets all straight lines that intersect the unit square U is at least 2.00002. This is the first improvement on the lower bound of 2 known since 1964. A similar ...

Metabolic implications of organelle-mitochondria communication

Carlos Canto Alvarez

Cellular organelles are not static but show dynamism-a property that is likely relevant for their function. In addition, they interact with other organelles in a highly dynamic manner. In this review, we analyze the proteins involved in the interaction bet ...

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 ...

Extensive amenability and an application to interval exchanges

Nicolas Monod, Nicolas Matte Bon

Extensive amenability is a property of group actions which has recently been used as a tool to prove amenability of groups. We study this property and prove that it is preserved under a very general construction of semidirect products. As an application, w ...

Kazhdan's Property (T) and Property (FH) for measured groupoids

Christophe Michel Gippa

Introduced 50 years ago by David Kazhdan, Kazhdan's Property (T) has quickly become an active research area in mathematics, with a lot of important results. A few years later, this property has been generalized to discrete group actions by Robert J. Zimmer ...

Anomalous Vp/Vs ratios at seismic frequencies might evidence highly damaged rocks in subduction zones

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Lucas Xan Pimienta

Unusually high compressional (P) to shear (S) wave velocity ratios (V-p/V-s) were measured at different subduction zones and interpreted as fluid-pressurized regions. Because no laboratory data reported such high values in isotropic rocks, mineralogical or ...
