What is the role of ethics in accreditation documentation from a global view?

Helena Kovacs

Ethics in engineering has long been an important element in engineering programmes, however these subjects are often taught at a basic learning level with little attempt to connect to demonstrative learning outcomes. In recent years there has been a step c ...

Genome-wide SNP profiling of worldwide goat populations reveals strong partitioning of diversity and highlights post-domestication migration routes

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana

Background: Goat populations that are characterized within the AdaptMap project cover a large part of the worldwide distribution of this species and provide the opportunity to assess their diversity at a global scale. We analysed genome-wide 50K single nuc ...

Human perceptions of daylight composition in architecture: a preliminary study to compare quantitative contrast measures with subjective user assessments in HDR renderings

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

Humans perceive daylight as a rich and dynamic luminous composition and yet existing performance metrics most often evaluate natural illumination for its ability to adequately illuminate a two-dimensional task surface while avoiding glare-based visual disc ...

Estimating MFDs in simple networks with route choice

Nikolaos Geroliminis

The concept of the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) is elegant and attractive because it provides a global view of traffic behavior and performance at a network level. However, recent research shows that the MFD shape can be influenced by local traffi ...

Flux- and gradient-driven global gyrokinetic simulation of tokamak turbulence

Olivier Sauter, Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Ben McMillan

The Eulerian gyrokinetic turbulence code GENE has recently been extended to a full torus code. Moreover, it now provides Krook-type sources for gradient-driven simulations where the profiles are maintained on average as well as localized heat sources for a ...

The effects of the global structure of the mask in visual backward masking

Michael Herzog

The visibility of a target can be strongly affected by a trailing mask. Research on visual backward masking has typically focused on the temporal characteristics of masking, whereas non-basic spatial aspects have received much less attention. However, rece ...
