Hybrid Simulator for Capturing Dynamics of Synthetic Populations

Michel Bierlaire, Marija Kukic

This paper presents a novel hybrid framework for generating and updating a synthetic population. We call it hybrid because it combines model-based and data-driven approaches. Existing generators produce a snapshot of synthetic data that becomes outdated ov ...

Numerical Generation and Contact Analysis of Rough Surfaces in Concrete

Guillaume Anciaux, Mohit Pundir

In concrete structures, opened cracks contribute significantly to the transfer of shear and normal stresses through the contact forces occurring between fractured surfaces. Such contact forces are due to protruding asperities, engaged by interlocking and f ...

Geospatial analysis of individual-based Parkinson's disease data supports a link with air pollution: a case-control study

Stéphane Joost

Background: The etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains unknown. To approach the issue of PD’s risk factors from a new perspective, we hypothesized that coupling the geographic distribution of PD with spatial statistics may provide new insights into e ...

Two-Tier Mapper, an unbiased topology-based clustering method for enhanced global gene expression analysis

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Cathrin Brisken, Jacques Rougemont, Rachel Marcone

Motivation: Unbiased clustering methods are needed to analyze growing numbers of complex data sets. Currently available clustering methods often depend on parameters that are set by the user, they lack stability, and are not applicable to small data sets. ...

Application of micro X-ray diffraction to investigate the reaction products formed by the alkali–silica reaction in concrete structures

Gervais Chapuis, Philip Pattison, Alla Arakcheeva

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is one of the most important deterioration mechanisms in concrete leading to substantial damages of structures worldwide. Synchrotron-based micro-X-ray diffraction (micro-XRD) was employed to characterize the mineral phases for ...

Fire Design of Concrete Structures based on a Levels-of-Approximation Approach

Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Concrete structures, contrary to steel or timber structures, have not been traditionally considered as significantly sensitive to fire conditions. As a consequence, their performance in fire conditions has generally been assessed on the basis of quite simp ...
