Tunnel junction sensing of TATP explosive at the single-molecule level

Radomir Zikic, Helena Miljkovic

Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a highly potent homemade explosive commonly used in terrorist attacks. Its detection poses a significant challenge due to its volatility, and the lack of portability of current sensing techniques. To address this issue, we ...

Removing Algorithmic Discrimination (With Minimal Individual Error)

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Le Nguyen Hoang, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer

We address for the first time the problem of correcting group discriminations within a score function, while minimizing the individual error. Each group is described by a probability density function on the set of profiles. We first solve the problem analy ...

Influence of advanced footwear technology on sub-2 hour marathon and other top running performances

Raphaël Gérard Théodore Michel Marie de Deloÿe et Fourcade de Fondeville

In 2019, Eliud Kipchoge ran a sub-two hour marathon wearing Nike's Alphafly shoes. Despite being the fastest marathon time ever recorded, it wasn't officially recognized as race conditions were tightly controlled to maximize his success. Besides, Kipchoge' ...

Interplay between upsampling and regularization for provider fairness in recommender systems

Mirko Marras

Considering the impact of recommendations on item providers is one of the duties of multi-sided recommender systems. Item providers are key stakeholders in online platforms, and their earnings and plans are influenced by the exposure their items receive in ...

The Theory, Practice, and Ethical Challenges of Designing a Diversity-Aware Platform for Social Relations

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Lakmal Buddika Meegahapola

Diversity-aware platform design is a paradigm that responds to the ethical challenges of existing social media platforms. Available platforms have been criticized for minimizing users' autonomy, marginalizing minorities, and exploiting users' data for prof ...

Archiving the Leftovers of Science: Metadata and Histories of Scientific Institutions

Alina Volynskaya

In this article, I focus on digital scientific archives which are made up of the leftovers of science, such as drafts, obsolete instruments, photographs, documentation, etc. The artifacts exhibited in such collections were neither meant to be representatio ...

Discrimination against foreigners in the U.S. patent system

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

Inventions of foreign origin are about ten percentage points less likely to be granted a U.S. patent than domestic inventions. An empirical analysis of 1.5 million U.S. patent applications identifies three systematic differences between foreign and domesti ...

Skin lightening products' violations in Europe: An analysis of the rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products 2005-2018

Florentino Luciano Caetano Dos Santos

Background: Skin lightening products containing dangerous levels of chemicals pose a serious health concern for consumers. However, to date, the extent of these products in Europe has not been extensively studied. The aim of this study was to determine whe ...

Tomography of Large Adaptive Networks under the Dense Latent Regime

Ali H. Sayed, Augusto José Rabelo Almeida Santos

This work examines the problem of graph learning over a diffusion network when measurements can only be gathered from a limited fraction of agents (latent regime). Under this selling, most works in the literature rely on a degree of sparsity to provide gua ...

Method and Procedure in Metal Detection and Distinctive Discrimination of Size, Shape, and Location of Hidden Single and Multi-Material Targets

Chafic Abu Antoun

This work provides a procedure and methodology for the design of an electro-magnetic sensor based on induction due to ferromagnetic and pure electrically conduc-tive hidden targets. The electromagnetic sensor is made of one or several excitation coils, whi ...

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 ...

Lower Bounds on Regret for Noisy Gaussian Process Bandit Optimization

Volkan Cevher, Ilija Bogunovic, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

In this paper, we consider the problem of sequentially optimizing a black-box function

f

based on noisy samples and bandit feedback. We assume that

f

is smooth in the sense of having a bounded norm in some reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), yield ...

Temperature-strain discrimination in distributed optical fiber sensing using phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

A method based on coherent Rayleigh scattering distinctly evaluating temperature and strain is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for distributed optical fiber sensing. Combining conventional phase-sensitive optical time-domain domain reflectometry ( ...

Is there a common cause for perceptual decline in the aging brain?

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disease, aging strongly affects vision. Whereas optical deficits are well documented, much less is known perceptual deficits. In most perceptual studies, one paradigm is tested and it is usually found that older par ...

Simplifying Development and Management of Software-Defined Networks

Peter Peresini

Computer networks are an important part of our life. Yet, they are traditionally hard to manage and operate. The recent shift to Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is promised to change the way in which the networks are run by their operators. However, SDN ...

A revealed preference analysis of PhD students’ choices over employment outcomes

Annamaria Conti, Fabiana Visentin

We develop a revealed preference approach to elicit science and engineering PhDs’ preferences over employment outcomes, exploiting cohort size variations. Depending on whether pecuniary and non-pecuniary rewards are sticky or not, increments in the PhDs’ c ...

Efficient voltammetric discrimination of free bilirubin from uric acid and ascorbic acid by a CVD nanographite-based microelectrode

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino

We report a novel electrochemical sensor based on nanographite grown on platinum microelectrodes for the determination of bilirubin in the presence of normal concentrations of albumin. The albumin is a protein with an intrinsic ability to bind the bilirubi ...

The trail making test as a screening instrument for driving performance in older drivers; a translational research

Michael Herzog, Isabel Cardoso, Paul Vaucher, Daniela Herzig

Background: In many countries, primary care physicians determine whether or not older drivers are fit to drive. Little, however, is known regarding the effects of cognitive decline on driving performance and the means to detect it. This study explores to w ...

Scattering of wave maps from $\mathbb{R}^{2+1}$ to general targets

Joules Elie Nahas

We show that smooth, radially symmetric wave maps

U

N

, where

\partial_r U

and

\partial_t U

have compact support for any fixed time, scatter. The result will follow from the work of Christodoulou ...

"Self pop-out": agency enhances self-recognition in visual search

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Roy Salomon, Joan Llobera Mahy, Mei Ling Melanie Lim

In real-life situations, we are often required to recognize our own movements among movements originating from other people. In social situations, these movements are often correlated (for example, when dancing or walking with others) adding considerable d ...
