On the accuracy of the Conventional gait Model: Distinction between marker misplacement and soft tissue artefact errors

Kamiar Aminian, Arnaud Barré

There is a lack of knowledge about the accuracy of the Conventional Gait Model (CGM), compared to the true bone motion. Accuracy is hindered by both marker misplacement and soft-tissue artefact (STA). The effect of the lateral knee marker (KNE) misplacemen ...

Isotropic Magnetic Field Probe with ICNIRP 2020 Frequency Shaping in the Band up to 400 MHz

German Augusto Ramirez Arroyave

We present the design and validation of an isotropic field probe with geometry and frequency response shaped to correctly weight the aggregate contribution of the various frequency components of a broadband magnetic field in the band 100 kHz - 400 MHz acco ...

Assessing continuum plasticity postulates with grain stress and local strain measurements in triaxially compressed sand

Ghassan Shahin

Critical state and continuum plasticity theories have been used in research and engineering practice in soil and rock mechanics for decades. These theories rely on postulated relationships between material stresses and strains. Some classical postulates in ...

Improving the Accuracy of Fracture Toughness Measurement in Burst Experiments

Guanyi Lu

Experimental studies suggest that the fracture toughness of rocks increases with the confining pressure. Among many methods to quantify this dependency, a so-called burst experiment (Abou-Sayed, 1978) may be the most widely applied in practice. Its thick w ...

Hierarchical graph representations in digital pathology

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Guillaume Jaume

Cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy response predictions from tissue specimens highly depend on the phenotype and topological distribution of constituting histological entities. Thus, adequate tissue representations for encoding histological entities ...

System-level, input-output and new parameterizations of stabilizing controllers, and their numerical computation

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri

It is known that the set of internally stabilizing controller Cstab is non-convex, but it admits convex characterizations using certain closed-loop maps: a classical result is the Youla parameterization, and two recent notions are the system-level paramete ...

Support-Dependent Cu-In Bimetallic Catalysts for Tailoring the Activity of Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction

Wen Luo, Kun Zhao, Liping Zhong, Thi Ha My Pham, Mo Li, Youngdon Ko

Cu-based bimetallic catalysts have attracted great attention for the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction due to their high activity and selectivity. This work reports the application of Cu-In bimetallic catalysts for the RWGS reaction and demonstrates ...

Fair Incentivization of Bandwidth Sharing in Decentralized Storage Networks

Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes

Peer-to-peer (p2p) networks are not independent of their peers, and the network efficiency depends on peers contributing resources. Because shared resources are not free, this contribution must be rewarded. Peers across the network may share computation po ...

A conveyor belt experimental setup to study the internal dynamics of granular avalanches

Christophe Ancey, Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios

This paper shows how a conveyor belt setup can be used to study the dynamics of stationary granular flows. To visualise the flow within the granular bulk and, in particular, determine its composition and the velocity field, we used the refractive index mat ...

Guidelines for performing lignin-first biorefining

Jeremy Luterbacher

The valorisation of the plant biopolymer lignin is now recognised as essential to enabling the economic viability of the lignocellulosic biorefining industry. In this context, the "lignin-first" biorefining approach, in which lignin valorisation is conside ...

Reactions of alpha,beta-Unsaturated Carbonyls with Free Chlorine, Free Bromine, and Combined Chlorine

Urs von Gunten

Chemical disinfectants employed in water and wastewater treatment can produce a variety of transformation products, including carbonyl compounds (e.g., saturated and unsaturated aldehydes and ketones). Experiments conducted under conditions relevant to chl ...

node2coords: Graph Representation Learning with Wasserstein Barycenters

Pascal Frossard, Ntorina Thanou, Effrosyni Simou

In order to perform network analysis tasks, representations that capture the most relevant information in the graph structure are needed. However, existing methods learn representations that cannot be interpreted in a straightforward way and that are relat ...

Using High-Temporal-Resolution Ambient Data to Investigate Gas-Particle Partitioning of Ammonium over Different Seasons

Athanasios Nenes

Ammonium is one of the dominant inorganic water-soluble ions in fine particulate matter (PM2.5). In this study, source apportionment and thermodynamic equilibrium models were used to analyze the relationship between pH and the partitioning of ammonium (eps ...

Encoding And Decoding Mixed Bandlimited Signals Using Spiking Integrate-And-Fire Neurons

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Karen Adam

Conventional sampling focuses on encoding and decoding bandlimited signals by recording signal amplitudes at known time points. Alternately, sampling can be approached using biologically-inspired schemes. Among these are integrate-and-fire time encoding ma ...
