Why is the winner the best?

Jian Wang, Ho Ling Li, Gabriel Girard, Adrien Raphaël Depeursinge

International benchmarking competitions have become fundamental for the comparative performance assessment of image analysis methods. However, little attention has been given to investigating what can be learnt from these competitions. Do they really gener ...

In situ monitoring of femtosecond laser-induced modifications in dielectrics

Olivier Bernard

Over the last decades, the progress made in the generation of laser pulses shorter than a picosecond (10^-12 s) has allowed us to reach extreme optical power intensities exceeding 10^15 W cm^-2. This tremendous power has triggered an abundance of original ...

Does It Pay to Do Novel Science? The Selectivity Patterns in Science Funding

Fabiana Visentin, Charles Chadi Ayoubi, Michele Pezzoni

Public funding agencies aim to fund novel breakthrough research to promote the radical scientific discoveries of tomorrow. Identifying the profiles of scientists being financed to pursue their research is therefore crucial. This paper shows that the fundin ...

The nature of X(3872) from high-multiplicity pp collisions

Angelo Esposito

The structure of exotic resonances that do not trivially fit the usual quark model expectations has been a matter of intense scientific debate during the last two decades. A possible way of estimating the size of these states is to study their behavior whe ...

Mobile futures through present behaviours and discourses

Emmanuel Pierre Jean Ravalet

In mobility studies, the purposes of scientific methods are generally the description and better understanding of the present and the past. There is a gap between such approaches and the need planners have to orientate action toward the future in the short ...

Progress in modelling solidification microstructures in metals and alloys: dendrites and cells from 1700 to 2000

Wilfried Kurz

This is the first account of the history of our understanding of, and ability to model, solidification microstructures. Its objective is to retrace the scientific steps made, from the earliest observations of the eighteenth century to our present-day under ...

The Mach-Zehnder Interferometer: A smart remote experiment based on a software template

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Wissam Halimi

Hands-on laboratory sessions are one of the pillars of science and engineering education. It is reputed that institu- tions find it difficult to provide enough laboratory setups that cover all taught scientific topics due to logistical and budgetary limita ...

Learning from the scientific legacies of W. Brutsaert and J.-Y. Parlange

David Andrew Barry

Though the essence of the scientific literature is to be a repository of unaffiliated truths, scientific advancement fundamentally stems from the insights and efforts of individuals. This dichotomy can hide exemplars for young scholars of how to contribute ...

Overview of Piano Key weir prototypes and scientific model investigations

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Marcelo Leite Ribeiro

The interest in Piano Key weirs (PKW) was increasing over the past years, both in terms of application and hydraulic research. Several systematic model test series were per-formed and published so far, originating from different hydraulic laboratories arou ...

Simple scheme for realizing fast light with low distortion in optical fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

In a previous paper (Song et al., 2005) we reported the first experimental demonstration of pulse advancement with gain in optical fibers using stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). We tested the two methods described above to achieve gain-assisted fast l ...
