In a geotechnical excavation, back analyses are routinely performed using the measured field responses to derive the material parameter values for the different soil layers present at the site. For the purpose of back analyses, the engineers will usually m ...
The Rolex Learning Center at EPFL Lausanne opened in 2010. Designed by Pritzker Prize laureates SANAA (Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa) from Japan, it soon became one of the more well-known buildings of recent times. In this book—an architectural novella— ...
Familiarity is an elusive concept, capturing what we know intimately and what we only recognize from having seen before. This article aims to disambiguate these interpretations by proposing a sociological conceptualization of familiarity as a dynamic relat ...
As a key enabling technology of Industry 4.0, Digital Twin (DT) has been widely applied to various industrial domains covering different lifecycle phases of products and systems. To fully realize the Industry 4.0 vision, it is necessary to integrate multip ...
A good knowledge of material properties is a critical aspect for modeling high-temperature superconductor (HTS) devices. However, the electrical resistivity of coated conductors above the critical current is limited. The major challenge in characterizing t ...
In the age of digital and big data, the interaction with machines is central and emphasizes the sophistication of user interfaces and browsing tools. However, in the domain of digital artwork collections, most platforms propose access to images through key ...
Fundamental limits for implanted antennas should be able to evaluate the bounds on losses with the knowledge of physical limitations from antenna and tissue parameters. In this work, rules of thumb to assess losses of deeply implanted antennas are presente ...
The digitization of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has grown rapidly since 2003 since UNESCO affirmed the significance of preserving "the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills". Unlike tangible heritage, which is conventionally pro ...
Transforming universities towards transdisciplinarity is a complex endeavour, tackling established practices, policies, legal structures as well as personal and professional values and norms. Enabling institutions often emerge from niche initiatives, such ...
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 ...
