A neural probe to sample brain fluid in nanoliter volumes for quantitative molecular studies

Neural functions operate in tightly controlled conditions that are mediated by multiple electrical and chemical phenomena. Brain disorders such as Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease perturb these conditions and cause a loss of neurons, which impai ...

Microstructural simulation and measurement of elastic modulus evolution of hydrating cement pastes

Karen Scrivener, Cyrille Dunant, Arnaud Müller

Predicting the evolution of stiffness in cement paste requires linking morphological properties of the microstructure to the evolution of mechanical properties. Measures are typically difficult to obtain with sufficient time resolution to capture the trans ...

Influence of density of large stems on the blocking probability at spillways

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Paloma Furlan

Dam safety is strongly linked to the probability of occurrence of large floods. Floods can transport large wood (LW) into reservoirs and towards water release structures as spillways. Due to blocking and clogging, LW may significantly influence the dischar ...

New Approach to Identifying Critical Initial Conditions for Extreme Flood Simulations in a Semicontinuous Simulation Framework

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Bettina Schaefli, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue

Extreme flood simulation with synthetic extreme precipitation events raises unavoidable questions about the choice of initial conditions. State-of-the-art extreme flood estimation frameworks propose to address these questions with the help of semicontinuou ...

Incorporating model uncertainty into optimal insurance contract design

Anna Timonina-Farkas

In stochastic optimization models, the optimal solution heavily depends on the selected probability model for the scenarios. However, the scenario models are typically chosen on the basis of statistical estimates and are therefore subject to model error. W ...

What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?: Sublinear Fourier Sampling Off the Grid

Volkan Cevher, Yen-Huan Li

We design a sublinear Fourier sampling algorithm for a case of sparse off-grid frequency recovery. These are signals with the form f(t)=∑kj=1ajeiωjt+ν^ , t∈Z ; i.e., exponential polynomials with a noise term. The frequencies {ω j } satisfy ω j ∈ [η,2π − η ...

The Banff challenge: Statistical detection of a noisy signal

Anthony Christopher Davison

Particle physics experiments such as those run in the Large Hadron Collider result in huge quantities of data, which are boiled down to a few numbers from which it is hoped that a signal will be detected. We discuss a simple probability model for this and ...
