DISK: learning local features with policy gradient

Pascal Fua, Eduard Trulls Fortuny, Michal Jan Tyszkiewicz

Local feature frameworks are difficult to learn in an end-to-end fashion, due to the discreteness inherent to the selection and matching of sparse keypoints. We introduce DISK (DIScrete Keypoints), a novel method that overcomes these obstacles by leveragin ...

Fast assembly of Galerkin matrices for 3D solid laminated composites using finite element and isogeometric discretizations

Pablo Antolin Sanchez

This work presents a novel methodology for speeding up the assembly of stiffness matrices for laminate composite 3D structures in the context of isogeometric and finite element discretizations. By splitting the involved terms into their in-plane and out-of ...

Preferential Deposition of Snow and Dust Over Hills: Governing Processes and Relevant Scales

Marc Parlange, Michael Lehning, Marco Giovanni Giometto, Francesco Comola

Preferential deposition of snow and dust over complex terrain is responsible for a wide range of environmental processes and accounts for a significant source of uncertainty in the surface mass balances of cold and arid regions. Despite the growing body of ...

InAs/InP quantum dot VECSEL emitting at 1.5 mu m

Elyahou Kapon, Alexandru Mereuta, Andrei Caliman, Grigore Suruceanu

A high-power InAs quantum dot (QD) vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser emitting at 1.5 mu m is reported. The active region employs 20 layers of high-density Stranski-Krastanow InAs quantum dots on an InP substrate. The QD density and emission w ...

Programmable Aerodynamic Drag on Active Dimpled Cylinders

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Mark Andrew Guttag

This study demonstrates that the aerodynamic drag profile of a patterned deformable cylinder at high Reynolds numbers can be programmed, on demand, by modifying its topography through pneumatic actuation. The samples used in the experiments comprise a rigi ...

Slickwater hydraulic fracture propagation: near-tip and radial geometry solutions

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia

We quantify the importance of turbulent flow on the propagation of hydraulic fractures (HF) accounting for the addition of friction reducing agents to the fracturing fluid (slickwater fluid). The addition in small quantities of a high molecular weight poly ...

Turbulent Flows over Rough Permeable Beds in Mountain Rivers: Experimental Insights and Modeling

Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

Steep mountain streams exhibit shallow waters with roughness elements such as stones and pebbles that are comparable in size to flow depth. Owing to the difficulty in measuring fluid velocities at the interface, i.e., from the rough permeable bed to the fr ...

Jumping dynamics of aquatic animals

Emmanuel Georges Albert Virot

Jumping out of water is a phenomenon exhibited by a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Yet, there is no common groundwork that clarifies the physical constraints required to jump out of water. In this study, we elucidate the physical conditions r ...
