Multi-phase phenomena remain at the heart of many challenging fluid dynamics problems. Molecular fluxes at the interface determine the fate of neighboring phases, yet their closure far from the continuum needs to be modeled. Along the hierarchy of kinetic ...
Hybrid organisations, which embody conflicting logics in the core of their activities, are widely spread in our modern societies. Because they combine different fields of knowledge, hybrids may be able to solve market and societal problems in unconventiona ...
This paper discusses the advantages of using a coding interface both to describe form and run performance simulations in the context of architectural design. It outlines the relevance of combining recent interest in the design community for parametric scri ...
We study the set of possible configurations for a general kinetically constrained model (KCM), a nonmonotone version of the U-bootstrap percolation cellular automata. We solve a combinatorial question that, is a generalization of a problem addressed by Chu ...
We present a unified framework for grasp planning and in-hand grasp adaptation using visual, tactile, and proprioceptive feedback. The main objective of the proposed framework is to enable fingertip grasping by addressing problems of changed weight of the ...

Evolutionary algorithms are widespread heuristic methods inspired by natural evolution to solve difficult problems for which analytical approaches are not suitable. In many domains experimenters are not only interested in discovering optimal solutions, but ...
This thesis develops mathematical programming frameworks to operate electric autonomous vehicles in the context of ride-sharing services. The introduced problem is a novel variant of the Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP), denoted by the electric Autonomous Dial-a ...
The objective of the present paper is to propose a strategy to optimize the performance of a Pelton runner based on a parametric model of the bucket geometry, massive particle based numerical simulations and advanced optimization strategies to reduce the d ...
In this paper we develop a reconstruction algorithm for the solution of an inverse boundary value problem dealing with a semilinear elliptic partial differential equation of interest in cardiac electrophysiology. The goal is the detection of small inhomoge ...
This chapter introduces the readers and users to the goals of the digitally provided index of the compendium Structures of Epic Poetry and the methods used for it. It also expands on the broader applicability of digital methods in view of electronic publis ...
