Enhanced discriminability for nonbiological motion violating the two-thirds power law

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon, Laurène Véronique Vuillaume

The two-thirds power law describes the relationship between velocity and curvature in human motor movements. Interestingly, this motor law also affects visual motion perception, in which stimuli moving according to the two-thirds power law are perceived to ...

Assessment of phase-field-crystal concepts using long-time molecular dynamics

William Curtin

The ability of the phase-field-crystal (PFC) model to quantitatively predict atomistic defect structures in crystalline solids is addressed. First, general aspects of the PFC model are discussed within the context of obtaining quantitative results in solid ...

Sustained invisibility through crowding and continuous flash suppression: a comparative review

Nathan Quentin Faivre

The study of non-conscious vision benefits from several alternative methods that allow the suppression of an image from awareness. Here, we present and compare two of them that are particularly well-suited for creating sustained periods of invisibility, na ...

'Peak Oil' As Classical Economic Process

Forecasts about 'peak oil', the limits of oil production, are the subject of controversies. 'Peak oil' forecasts are based on extrapolations of a priori chosen mathematical models fitted to field data. Scientifically that is not very sound. To clarify this ...

A comparison of model-based and data-driven controller tuning

Alireza Karimi

In many industrial applications, finding a model from physical laws that is both simple and reliable for control design is a hard and time-consuming undertaking. When a set of input/output measurements is available, one can derive the controller directly f ...

Experimental investigation and modelling of the structural behaviour of confined grouted interfaces for a new steel–concrete connection

Jean-Paul Lebet, Dimitrios Papastergiou

Confined interfaces between cement grout and other materials such as embossed steel or rough concrete are formed in an innovative new steel-concrete connection for composite bridges. This article presents the experimental study of such interfaces and inves ...

Corporate Science and Voluntary Disclosure : Analyzing Determinants and Firm Performance

Markus Simeth

The dissertation investigates the phenomenon of firms that make voluntary contributions to the stock of scientific knowledge. Such a firm behaviour appears counterintuitive from a traditional viewpoint, since no direct financial returns can be expected whi ...
