Synthetically grown high-quality single crystal diamond is an excellent base material for quantum photonics. Planar single crystal diamond substrates several square millimeters in size are nowadays commercially available. They can be precisely structured u ...

Imagine stepping away from your desk and reaching out for your office's light switch with your eyes closed. You might manage to complete the task successfully but might instead hit the corner of your desk or knock over the coffee mug your colleague just le ...

Fault detection is crucial in industrial systems to prevent failures and optimize performance by distinguishing abnormal from normal operating conditions. Data-driven methods have been gaining popularity for fault detection tasks as the amount of condition ...

The Adiabatic Quantum-Flux Parametron (AQFP) is an energy-efficient superconducting logic family. AQFP technology requires buffer and splitting elements (B/S) to be inserted to satisfy path-balancing and fanout-branching constraints. B/S insertion policies ...

Dynamic human energy expenditure (EE) consists of energy costs for resting metabolism, food digestion, physical activity, and thermoregulation. Currently, multiple models predict EE mainly concerning physical activity, thus, discarding other factors contri ...

In this paper we study the problem of social learning under multiple true hypotheses and self-interested agents that exchange information over a graph. In this setup, each agent receives data that might be generated from a different hypothesis (or state) t ...

The local integration of III-Vs on Si is relevant for a wide range of applications in electronics and photonics, since it combines a mature and established materials platform with desired physical properties such as a direct and tuneable bandgap and high m ...

Ultrafast ultrasound (US) revolutionized biomedical imaging with its capability of acquiring full-view frames at over 1 kHz, unlocking breakthrough modalities such as shear-wave elastography and functional US neuroimaging. Yet, it suffers from strong diffr ...

We formulate as an inverse problem the construction of sparse parametric continuous curve models that fit a sequence of contour points. Our prior is incorporated as a regularization term that encourages rotation invariance and sparsity. We prove that an op ...

Current task-oriented dialog (TOD) systems mostly manage structured knowledge (e.g. databases and tables) to guide the goal-oriented conversations. However, they fall short of handling dialogs which also involve unstructured knowledge (e.g. reviews and doc ...

Occupants' behavior is a major source of uncertainty for the optimal operation of building energy systems. The highly stochastic hot water use behavior of occupants has led to conservative operational strategies for hot water systems, that try to ensure oc ...

Under seismic actions, stone masonry buildings are prone to damage. To assess the severity of damaged masonry buildings and their failure modes, engineers connect these problems to surface crack features, such as the crack width and the extent of cracking. ...

This paper proposes a novel embedded column base (ECB) connection that defies the current paradigm in capacity-designed steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) where column bases have been traditionally considered as nondissipative. In the proposed concept, a ...

Supervised learning is constrained by the availability of labeled data, which are especially expensive to acquire in the field of digital pathology. Making use of open-source data for pre-training or using domain adaptation can be a way to overcome this is ...

The organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) achieve relatively high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) over the past few years. However, defects on the surface and at the grain boundaries of the perovskite active layers are critical factor ...

The role of occupants and their interactions with the building envelope and systems represent a key factor of uncertainty when predicting building energy use with simulation tools. The aim of this simulation-based study is to contribute to gaining further ...

Adiabatic Quantum-Flux-Parametron (AQFP) is a family of superconducting electronic (SCE) circuits exhibiting high energy efficiency. In AQFP technology, logic gates require splitters to drive multiple fanouts and both the logic gates and the splitters are ...

We present multi-wavelength single-shot ptychography, a technique which is ideally suited for imaging dynamically evolving plasmas. Through improvements to single-shot ptychography and a novel probe constraint, wavelength-multiplexed single-shot ptychograp ...
