A Functional Perspective on Information Measures

Since the birth of Information Theory, researchers have defined and exploited various information measures, as well as endowed them with operational meanings. Some were born as a "solution to a problem", like Shannon's Entropy and Mutual Information. Other ...

Perimeter Modes of Nanomechanical Resonators Exhibit Quality Factors Exceeding 10(9) at Room Temperature

Tobias Kippenberg, Guanhao Huang, Nils Johan Engelsen, Sergey Fedorov, Alberto Beccari, Amirali Arabmoheghi

Systems with low mechanical dissipation are extensively used in precision measurements such as gravitational wave detection, atomic force microscopy, and quantum control of mechanical oscillators via optomechanics and electromechanics. The mechanical quali ...

TOCOSMO VIII. A key test of systematics in the hierarchical method of time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin

The largest source of systematic errors in the time-delay cosmography method likely arises from the lens model mass distribution, where an inaccurate choice of model could in principle bias the value of H-0. A Bayesian hierarchical framework has been propo ...

Mapping of Structure-Function Age-Related Connectivity Changes on Cognition Using Multimodal MRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti

The relationship between age-related changes in brain structural connectivity (SC) and functional connectivity (FC) with cognition is not well understood. Furthermore, it is not clear whether cognition is represented via a similar spatial pattern of FC and ...

Guidelines for performing lignin-first biorefining

Jeremy Luterbacher

The valorisation of the plant biopolymer lignin is now recognised as essential to enabling the economic viability of the lignocellulosic biorefining industry. In this context, the "lignin-first" biorefining approach, in which lignin valorisation is conside ...

The completeness of the generalized eigenfunctions and an upper bound for the counting function of the transmission eigenvalue problem for Maxwell equations

Hoài-Minh Nguyên, Jean Louis-Alexandre Fornerod

Cakoni and Nguyen recently proposed very general conditions on the coefficients of Maxwell equations for which they established the discreten ess of the set of eigenvalues of the transmission problem and studied their locations. In this paper, we establish ...

Model-Based Interpretation of Measurements for Fatigue Evaluation of Existing Reinforced Concrete Bridges

Eugen Brühwiler, Ian Smith, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai, Imane Bayane

New methods are required for sustainable and economical management of bridges. Efficient management can be achieved by a detailed understanding of bridge behavior through monitoring and model-based data interpretation. This paper presents a methodology to ...

Aligning the Design of Educational Robotics Tools With Classroom Activities

Francesco Mondada, Christian Giang, Alberto Piatti

This chapter addresses the alignment of educational robotics (ER) tools with classroom activities. To this end, it first introduces a conceptualization of ER activities describing the relevant cognitive artifacts and the learning theories underlying such a ...
