Th1509U European 170 Ghz 1 Mw Cw Industrial Gyrotron Upgrade

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Francisco Sanchez, Ioannis Pagonakis, Konstantinos Avramidis

This paper describes the status on the upgrade of the first European gyrotron prototype for ITER, manufactured by Thales. The upgraded prototype, TH1509U, is now being tested to verify the performance improvements and to assess the compliance with ITER ECR ...

Group testing for connected communities

Suhas Diggavi, Christina Fragouli, Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Sundara Rajan Srinivasavaradhan

In this paper, we propose algorithms that leverage a known community structure to make group testing more efficient. We consider a population organized in disjoint communities: each individual participates in a community, and its infection probability depe ...

Exploring policy change through agent-based simulation

Raphaël Klein

Policymaking is a complex process that has been studied using policy process theories almost exclusively. These theories have been built using a large number of qualitative cases. Such methods are useful for theory building but remain limited for theory ex ...

Toward an objective assessment of mobility in clinical and daily activity settings

Arash Atrsaei

Quantification of mobility is the key to monitor the progression of mobility disorders as well as the effect of an intervention. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) with dedicated algorithms can quantify postural transitions and gait as the two key aspects o ...

Rebooting Virtual Memory with Midgard

Babak Falsafi, Atri Bhattacharyya, Siddharth Gupta, Mathias Josef Payer, Yunho Oh, Abhishek Bhattacharjee

Computer systems designers are building cache hierarchies with higher capacity to capture the ever-increasing working sets of modern workloads. Cache hierarchies with higher capacity improve system performance but shift the performance bottleneck to addres ...

Testing two competing hypotheses for Eurasian jays' caching for the future

Johanni Michael Brea

Previous research reported that corvids preferentially cache food in a location where no food will be available or cache more of a specific food in a location where this food will not be available. Here, we consider possible explanations for these prospect ...

Automated Design: A Journey Across Modelling, Optimization, and Education

Cyril Picard

Machine intelligence greatly impacts almost all domains of our societies. It is profoundly changing the field of mechanical engineering with new technical possibilities and processes. The education of future engineers also needs to adapt in terms of techni ...

Effect of Fear of Falling on Mobility Measured During Lab and Daily Activity Assessments in Parkinson’s Disease

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Atrsaei

In chronic disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), fear of falling (FOF) is associated with falls and reduced quality of life. With inertial measurement units (IMUs) and dedicated algorithms, different aspects of mobility can be obtained during supervi ...

Blind predictions of shake table testing of aggregate masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, Andrea Penna, Igor Tomic

In many historical centers in Europe, stone masonry is part of building aggregates, which developed when the layout of the city or village was densified. The analysis of such building aggregates is very challenging and modelling guidelines missing. Advance ...
