Generation of elastic geodesic gridshells with anisotropic cross sections

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne

Geodesic gridshells are shell structures made of continuous elements following geodesic lines. Their properties ease the use of beams with anisotropic cross-sections by avoiding bending about their strong axis. However, such bending may arise when flatteni ...

Simplicity in complex networks: a path-based centrality

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Leonardo Bellocchi

Understanding travel behaviour in transportation system is key challenge to calibrate and simulate the usage of urban mobility networks. We define in this work a path-based centrality based on the simplicity of the path between two locations in road networ ...

Scale-dependent measure of network centrality from diffusion dynamics

Alexis Arnaudon

Classic measures of graph centrality capture distinct aspects of node importance, from the local (e.g., degree) to the global (e.g., closeness). Here we exploit the connection between diffusion and geometry to introduce a multiscale centrality measure. A n ...

A Measure of Dynamical Efficiency for Multimodal Interconnected Urban Systems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Leonardo Bellocchi

Complex network theory describes network performance mostly based on topological characteristics, like betweenness centrality. This work integrates concepts from complex networks and traffic engineering. We propose a new measure for spatial networks and, i ...

The key player problem in complex oscillator networks and electric power grids: Resistance centralities identify local vulnerabilities

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod, Melvyn Sandy Tyloo

Identifying key players in coupled individual systems is a fundamental problem in network theory. We investigate synchronizable network-coupled dynamical systems such as high-voltage electric power grids and coupled oscillators on complex networks. We defi ...

Percolation and Internet Science

Emanuele Massaro

Percolation, in its most general interpretation, refers to the “flow” of something (a physical agent, data or information) in a network, possibly accompanied by some nonlinear dynamical processes on the network nodes (sometimes denoted reaction–diffusion s ...

Actuation Displacement Analysis of a Self-Switching Shape Memory Alloy Buckled Beam

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Morgan Almanza, Sean Thomas

This paper aims to simulate using Finite Element Modelling (FEM), a self-activating bistable buckled beam actuator using SMAs. In this work, various parameters such as the dimensions of the beam, shape geometry are studied to determine their effects on the ...

Nuove ecologie alpine: industrializzazione e costruzione della città-territorio

Roberto Sega

This research study offers a reflection on the Alpine urban condition through the observation of the spaces of production. Departing from the premise that the tourist economy cannot be the only possible horizon for Alpine development, this thesis reflects ...

Localizing the Source of an Epidemic Using Few Observations

Brunella Marta Spinelli

Localizing the source of an epidemic is a crucial task in many contexts, including the detection of malicious users in social networks and the identification of patient zeros of disease outbreaks. The difficulty of this task lies in the strict limitation ...

An Indicator-Based Approach for Analysing the Resilience of Transitions for Energy Regions. Part II: Empirical Application to the Case of Weiz-Gleisdorf, Austria

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Romano Tobias Wyss, Susan Marie Mühlemeier

In this paper, we apply an indicator-based approach to measure the resilience of energy regions in transition to a case study region in Austria. The indicator-based approach allows to determine the resilience of the transition of regional energy systems to ...

Hyperbolic Embedding for Efficient Computation of Path Centralities and Adaptive Routing in Large-Scale Complex Commodity Networks

Eleni Stai

Computing the most central nodes in large-scale commodity networks is rather important for improving routing and associated applications. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for the analysis and efficient computation of routing path-based central ...

Transient networks of spatio-temporal connectivity map communication pathways in brain functional systems

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Pierre Vandergheynst, Patric Hagmann, Alessandro Daducci, Alessandra Griffa, Xavier Bresson, Benjamin Ricaud, Kirell Maël Benzi

The study of brain dynamics enables us to characterize the time-varying functional connectivity among distinct neural groups. However, current methods suffer from the absence of structural connectivity information. We propose to integrate infra-slow neural ...

An affected core drives network integration deficits of the structural connectome in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Patric Hagmann, Alessandra Griffa, Marie Schaer

Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is a genetic disease known to lead to cerebral structural alterations, which we study using the framework of the macroscopic white-matter connectome. We create weighted connectomes of 44 patients with 22q11DS ...
