A Framework to Evaluate the Benefit of Seismic Upgrading

The framework to evaluate the benefit of seismic upgrading of Galanis et al. (2018) is compared to that present in the Swiss seismic code for existing buildings since 2004, updated in 2017. To illustrate the comparison, the example building of Galanis et a ...

Evaluation of Quasi-Static and Dynamic Fracture Toughness on the Low-Alloy Reactor Pressure Vessel Steel JRQ in the Transition Region

Philippe Spätig

Three point bending and impact tests with sub-sized Charpy specimens were performed on the JRQ reference steel for reactor pressure vessels. Quasi-static and dynamic fracture toughness data were calculated and the fracture behavior in the ductile to brittl ...

Automatic L2 Regularization for Multiple Generalized Additive Models

Yousra El Bachir

Multiple generalized additive models are a class of statistical regression models wherein parameters of probability distributions incorporate information through additive smooth functions of predictors. The functions are represented by basis function expan ...

User-centered Design and Evaluation of Physical Interfaces for an Exoskeleton for Paraplegic Users

Roger Gassert, Olivier Lambercy

Over the last decade, the use of wearable exoskeletons for human locomotion assistance has become more feasible. The VariLeg powered lower limb robotic exoskeleton is an example of such systems, potentially enabling paraplegic users to perform upright acti ...

A template for constructing Bayesian networks in forensic biology cases when considering activity level propositions

Christophe Champod, Alex Biedermann

The hierarchy of propositions has been accepted amongst the forensic science community for some time. It is also accepted that the higher up the hierarchy the propositions are, against which the scientist are competent to evaluate their results, the more d ...

A Physical Model of Non-stationary Blur in Ultrasound Imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Paul Hurley, Dimitris Perdios, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Marcel Arditi, Adrien Georges Jean Besson

Conventional ultrasound (US) imaging relies on delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming which retrieves a radio- frequency (RF) image, a blurred estimate of the tissue reflectivity function (TRF). Despite the non-stationarity of the blur induced by propagation effe ...

Preventive chemotherapy to control soil-transmitted helminthiasis averted more than 500 000 DALYs in 2015

Background: Preventive chemotherapy (PC), the large-scale administration of anthelminthics, is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH). Since 2010, donated anthelminthics for STH have boost ...

A Programming Model and Foundation for Lineage-Based Distributed Computation

Philipp Haller

The most successful systems for "big data'' processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate, or middleware, upon which to build data-centric distribute ...

Low-rank tensor methods for large Markov chains and forward feature selection methods

Francisco Santos Paredes Quartin de Macedo

In the first part of this thesis, we present and compare several approaches for the determination of the steady-state of large-scale Markov chains with an underlying low-rank tensor structure. Such structure is, in our context of interest, associated with ...
