On the Validity of Consensus

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Manuel José Ribeiro Vidigueira, Jovan Komatovic, Pierre Philippe Civit

The Byzantine consensus problem involves.. processes, out of which t < n could be faulty and behave arbitrarily. Three properties characterize consensus: (1) termination, requiring correct (nonfaulty) processes to eventually reach a decision, (2) agreement ...

Comparison of questionnaire items for discomfort glare studies in daylit spaces

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Clotilde Marie A Pierson, Geraldine Cai Ting Quek, Sneha Jain, Caroline Karmann

When studying discomfort glare, researchers tend to rely on a single questionnaire item to obtain user evaluations. It is unclear whether the choice of questionnaire item affects the distribution of user responses and leads to inconsistencies between studi ...

Removing systematics-induced 21-cm foreground residuals by cross-correlating filtered data

Tianyue Chen

Observations of the redshifted 21-cm signal emitted by neutral hydrogen represent a promising probe of large-scale structure in the universe. However, the cosmological 21-cm signal is challenging to observe due to astrophysical foregrounds which are severa ...

Scrutinizing thermally stimulated current transients originating from trapped charges in organic semiconductors: A drift-diffusion study

Frank Nüesch, Beat Ruhstaller

Thermally stimulated current (TSC) is a widely used technique to assess trap states and extract their density, energy, and capture rate using analytical expressions. In many cases, the latter are derived from physical models pertaining to inorganic semicon ...

Self-learning surrogate models in superstructure optimization

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Julia Granacher, Michel Lopez

In this contribution, we propose an algorithm for replacing non-linear process simulation integrated in multi-level optimization of an energy system superstructure with surrogate models. With our approach, we demonstrate that surrogate models are a valid t ...

Questions and controversies in the study of time-varying functional connectivity in resting fMRI

Daniel Kessler, Raphaël Pierre Liégeois, Jonathan Raël Lurie

The brain is a complex, multiscale dynamical system composed of many interacting regions. Knowledge of the spatiotemporal organization of these interactions is critical for establishing a solid understanding of the brain's functional architecture and the r ...

Construct Validity of Unobtrusive Measures of Organizational Ethical Climates

Christine Choirat, Sayan Sarkar

Prior studies have examined the relationship between organizational ethical climates and an array of work-related attitudes and behaviors. However, current research is hampered by the lack of knowledge on how ethical climates relate to organizational outco ...

Predictive Validity of Thin-Slice Nonverbal Behavior from Social Interactions

Laurent Son Nguyen, Denise Frauendorfer

We present five studies investigating the predictive validity of thin slices of nonverbal behavior (NVB). Predictive validity of thin slices refers to how well behavior slices excerpted from longer video predict other measured variables. Using six NVBs, we ...

An assessment of how well we account for intangibles

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

Estimates of intangible capital stock are of prime importance for accurate measurement of productivity growth. Aggregate intangible capital stock is usually estimated using the so-called Corrado-Hulten-Sichel (CHS) new growth accounting framework. Yet this ...

Heightened clinical utility of smartphone versus body-worn inertial system for shoulder function B-B score

Kamiar Aminian, Alain Farron, Cyntia Duc, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

The B-B Score is a straightforward kinematic shoulder function score including only two movements (hand to the Back + lift hand as to change a Bulb) that demonstrated sound measurement properties for patients for various shoulder pathologies. However, the ...

Contributions to 3D differential microwave imaging

Michael Mattes, Mina Bjelogrlic, Benjamin Fuchs

This paper presents new contributions to forward and inverse problems in 3D differential microwave imaging. This technique is well suited to monitor a pathological evolution, for instance the brain stroke of a patient. The forward problem is solved using a ...

Analysis of the influence of the normal zone propagation velocity on the design of resistive fault current limiters

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit, Daniele Colangelo

Commercial high-temperature superconducting coated conductors (HTS-CCs) have low thermal diffusivity and nonuniform critical current density. These two factors lead commercial HTS-CCs to a partial quench when they are subjected to a transport current aroun ...

Universal scaling of plasmon coupling in metal nanostructures: Checking the validity for higher plasmonic modes using second harmonic generation

Pierre-François Marie Brevet, Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet

The universal scaling of plasmon coupling in metallic nanostructures is now a well-established feature. However, if the interaction between dipolar plasmon modes has been intensively studied, this is not the case of the coupling between higher order ones. ...
