Reducing uncertainties in response predictions of earthquake-damaged masonry buildings using data from image-based inspection
Ian Smith, Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Mathias Christian Haindl Carvallo
Image information about the state of a building after an earthquake, which can be collected without endangering the post-earthquake reconnaissance activities, can be used to reduce uncertainties in response predictions for future seismic events. This paper ...
Springer2024The effects of war on Ukrainian research
Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse, Wolf-Hendrik Peter Uhlbach, Tetiana Murovana
The ongoing war in Ukraine has profoundly impacted the Ukrainian scientific community. Numerous researchers have either emigrated or transitioned to alternate professions. For those who remain in research, the destruction of civil infrastructure and psycho ...
London2023Post-Quantum Succinct Arguments: Breaking the Quantum Rewinding Barrier
We prove that Kilian's four-message succinct argument system is post-quantum secure in the standard model when instantiated with any probabilistically checkable proof and any collapsing hash function (which in turn exist based on the post-quantum hardness ...
IEEE COMPUTER SOC2022The impact of uncertainties on post-earthquake response predictions of a building with unreinforced masonry walls
Ian Smith, Katrin Beyer, Mathias Christian Haindl Carvallo
In this paper, the impact of several sources of uncertainty on the seismic response of an experimentally tested building is assessed for the case of a post-earthquake scenario. The building comprises unreinforced masonry and reinforced concrete walls. It i ...
2022Vibration Serviceability Assessment for Pedestrian Bridges Based on Model Falsification
With the development of new materials and advanced structural analysis, alongside increasing aesthetic requirements, recent years have witnessed a trend toward longer, taller, and lighter footbridges. Different from vehicular bridges, footbridges carry rel ...
2021A Statistical Test for Probabilistic Fairness
Daniel Kuhn, Viet Anh Nguyen, Bahar Taskesen
Algorithms are now routinely used to make consequential decisions that affect human lives. Examples include college admissions, medical interventions or law enforcement. While algorithms empower us to harness all information hidden in vast amounts of data, ...
2021Second-order guarantees in centralized, federated and decentralized nonconvex optimization
Rapid advances in data collection and processing capabilities have allowed for the use of increasingly complex models that give rise to nonconvex optimization problems. These formulations, however, can be arbitrarily difficult to solve in general, in the s ...
INT PRESS BOSTON, INC2020On the Unfairness of Blockchain
Rachid Guerraoui, Junxiong Wang
The success of Bitcoin largely relies on the perception of a fair underlying peer-to-peer protocol: blockchain. Fairness here essentially means that the reward (in bitcoins) given to any participant that helps maintain the consistency of the protocol by mi ...
