Climatic Affinities or Type As A Structure Of Relations Based On Typological Transfer In The Work Of Lacaton & Vassal And Other Similar Precedents

Tiago André Pratas Borges

It is a generally accepted idea that typology is an essential element in the disciplinary dimension of architecture. The concept of typology, in its most common definition, is sufficiently malleable to cover a wide range of uses, but it is also this vaguen ...

Local spatial variability in the occurrence of summer precipitation in the Sør Rondane Mountains, Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Alfonso Ferrone

During the austral summer 2019/2020, three vertically pointing K-band Doppler profilers (Micro Rain Radar PRO, MRR-PRO) were deployed along a transect across the Sor Rondane Mountains, directly south of the scientific base Princess Elisabeth Antarctica. Th ...

Functional data analysis with rough sample paths?

Victor Panaretos, Neda Mohammadi Jouzdani

Functional data are typically modeled as sample paths of smooth stochastic processes in order to mitigate the fact that they are often observed discretely and noisily, occasionally irregularly and sparsely. The smoothness assumption is imposed to allow for ...

Aridity and cold temperatures drive divergent adjustments of European beech xylem anatomy, hydraulics and leaf physiological traits

Charlotte Grossiord

Understanding plant trait coordination and variance across climatic gradients is critical for assessing forests' adaptive potential to climate change. We measured 11 hydraulic, anatomical and leaf-level physiological traits in European beech (Fagus sylvati ...

A Theory of Value for Service Ecosystems

Blagovesta Hristova Kostova

In this thesis, we present a theory of value for the design and analysis of service ecosystems. The theory is based on general systems thinking. The concept of a system is used for relating knowledge from different disciplines (such as software engineering ...

Simulation of long-term spatiotemporal variations in regional-scale groundwater recharge: contributions of a water budget approach in cold and humid climates

Emmanuel Qays Dubois

Groundwater recharge (GWR) is a strategic hydrologic variable, and its estimate is necessary to implement sustainable groundwater management. This is especially true in a global warming context that highly impacts key winter conditions in cold and humid cl ...

Conversational Multi-Hop Reasoning with Neural Commonsense Knowledge and Symbolic Logic Rules

Antoine Bosselut

One of the challenges faced by conversational agents is their inability to identify unstated presumptions of their users' commands, a task trivial for humans due to their common sense. In this paper, we propose a zeroshot commonsense reasoning system for c ...

Learning Analytics for Adaptive and Self-Improving Learning Environments for Inductive Teaching

Louis Pierre Faucon

The emergence of digital technology is changing education in many ways. A particularly interesting aspect of this transformation is the development of learning environments that can automatically adapt to individual students and can collect data in order t ...

Increasing Superstructure Optimization Capacity Through Self-Learning Surrogate Models

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Julia Granacher

Simulation-based optimization models are widely applied to find optimal operating conditions of processes. Often, computational challenges arise from model complexity, making the generation of reliable design solutions difficult. We propose an algorithm fo ...

Stoic: Towards Disciplined Capabilities

Martin Odersky, Nada Amin, Sandro Stucki, Fengyun Liu, Paolo Giosuè Giarrusso

Capabilities are widely used in the design of software systems to ensure security. A system of capabilities can become a mess in the presence of objects and functions: objects may leak capabilities and functions may capture capabilities. They make reasonin ...

The Industrialization of Astronomical Instrumentation: An Industrial Systems and Process Engineering Perspective

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mohamed Bouri, Luzius Gregor Kronig, Ricardo Jorge Araùjo Pereira, Loïc Grossen

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) is an all-sky spectroscopic survey of > 6 million objects, designed to decode the history of the Milky Way, reveal the inner workings of stars, investigate the origin of solar systems, and track the growth of superma ...

The Learnability of the Grammar of Jazz: Bayesian Inference of Hierarchical Structures in Harmony

Daniel Harasim

Musical grammar describes a set of principles that are used to understand and interpret the structure of a piece according to a musical style. The main topic of this study is grammar induction for harmony --- the process of learning structural principles f ...

An Ink–and–Paper Automaton: The Conceptual Mechanization of Cognition and the Practical Automation of Reasoning in Leibniz’s De Affectibus (1679)

Simon François Dumas Primbault

On ten loose handwritten folios dating back from April 1679, Leibniz gradually devised, in the course of three days, a full-blown theory of thought that nonetheless remained unpublished and still has received little attention from scholars. Conceiving of a ...

Phase Studies of Additively Manufactured Near Beta Titanium Alloy-Ti55511

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicola Casati

The effect of electron-beam melting (EBM) and selective laser melting (SLM) processes on the chemical composition, phase composition, density, microstructure, and microhardness of as-built Ti55511 blocks were evaluated and compared. The work also aimed to ...

Placement of Virtual Containers on NUMA systems: A Practical and Comprehensive Model

Baptiste Joseph Eustache Lepers

Our work addresses the problem of placement of threads, or virtual cores, onto physical cores in a multicore NUMA system. Different placements result in varying degrees of contention for shared resources, so choosing the right placement can have a large ef ...

Word Sense Consistency in Statistical and Neural Machine Translation

Xiao Pu

Different senses of source words must often be rendered by different words in the target language when performing machine translation (MT). Selecting the correct translation of polysemous words can be done based on the contexts of use. However, state-of-th ...

Extremal behaviour of aggregated data with an application to downscaling

Sebastian Engelke, Raphaël Gérard Théodore Michel Marie de Deloÿe et Fourcade de Fondeville

The distribution of spatially aggregated data from a stochastic process may exhibit tail behaviour different from that of its marginal distributions. For a large class of aggregating functionals we introduce the -extremal coefficient, which quantifies this ...
