Laser-induced liquid micro-jets for drug delivery

Jet injection devices have been studied and developed for transdermal drug delivery to avoid the use of needles. Such contact-less devices provide several advantages such as better dose control, lateral and depth localisation, lower collateral damage than ...

Discrete-Choice Mining of Social Processes

Victor Kristof

Poor decisions and selfish behaviors give rise to seemingly intractable global problems, such as the lack of transparency in democratic processes, the spread of conspiracy theories, and the rise in greenhouse gas emissions. However, people are more predict ...

Theory of twin strengthening in fcc high entropy alloys

William Curtin, Recep Ekin Kubilay

Twinning in fcc High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) has been implicated as a possible mechanism for hardening that enables enhanced ductility. Here, a theory for the twinning stress is developed analogous to recent theories for yield stress. Specifically, the stres ...

A general framework for the integration of complex choice models into mixed integer optimization

Meritxell Pacheco Paneque

The objective of this thesis is to develop a general methodology to incorporate a disaggregate demand representation in supply-oriented optimization problems that allows to capture the interplay between the behavior of individuals and the decisions to be o ...

Enhancing discrete choice models with representation learning

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin

In discrete choice modeling (DCM), model misspecifications may lead to limited predictability and biased parameter estimates. In this paper, we propose a new approach for estimating choice models in which we divide the systematic part of the utility specif ...

Bayesian estimation of mixed multinomial logit models: Advances and simulation-based evaluations

Michel Bierlaire, Prateek Bansal

Variational Bayes (VB) methods have emerged as a fast and computationally-efficient alternative to Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for scalable Bayesian estimation of mixed multinomial logit (MMNL) models. It has been established that VB is substan ...

Tuning stiffness nonlinearty: theory and applications

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

Perfect elasticity is not achievable in real-life situation, so spring stiffness is not perfectly constant. In this paper, we study the effect of modifying non-linear stiffness terms while keeping the nominal stiffness constant. We introduce three methods ...

Repetitive regime of highly focused liquid microjets for needle-free injection

Christophe Moser, Paul Delrot, Jan Krizek

Fast liquid jets are investigated for use as a needle-free drug delivery system into an elastic tissue such as skin. Using smaller jet diameters in a repetitive regime can mitigate bruising and pain associated with current injectors. In this study, we aim ...

Adaptive isogeometric analysis on two-dimensional trimmed domains based on a hierarchical approach

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Luca Coradello, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez

The focus of this work is on the development of an error-driven isogeometric framework, capable of automatically performing an adaptive simulation in the context of second- and fourth-order, elliptic partial differential equations defined on two-dimensiona ...

Personalizable intervention systems to promote healthy behavior change

Igor Kulev

Adopting healthy behaviors can prevent the onset of many adverse health conditions. However, behavior changes are difficult to make, and often, people who like to improve their behaviors do not know how to do that. Personalizable intervention systems could ...
