Stochastic Optimal Control for Autonomous Driving Applications via Polynomial Chaos Expansions

Colin Neil Jones, Petr Listov, Johannes Christian Schwarz

Model-based methods in autonomous driving and advanced driving assistance gain importance in research and development due to their potential to contribute to higher road safety. Parameters of vehicle models, however, are hard to identify precisely or they ...

The seismic stability and ductility of steel columns interacting with concrete footings

Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu

First-story columns in steel moment resisting frames are subjected to various forms of geometric instabilities during earthquakes. These instabilities have the potential to seriously compromise structural performance, and expedite structural collapse. In t ...

Derivation of the σ-w relationship for SFRC from prism bending tests

Aurelio Muttoni

The material characterization of steel fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC), which is required for its implementation in design codes, should be based on nominal properties that describe its postcracking strength in tension. In the case of brittle and quasi-br ...

An experimental investigation into the tensile strength of steel fibre reinforced concrete

Aurelio Muttoni

The material characterization of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC), which is required for its implementation in design codes, should be based on nominal properties that describe its post-cracking strength in tension. In the case of brittle and quasi-b ...

k(L)a as a predictor for successful probe-independent mammalian cell bioprocesses in orbitally shaken bioreactors

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Stéphanie Tissot

The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of orbitally shaken bioreactors (OSRs) operated without controllers for pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration. We used cylindrical OSRs with working volumes ranging from 250mL to 200L to determi ...

Quality-aware similarity assessment for entity matching in Web data

Karl Aberer, Zoltán Miklós, Surender Reddy Yerva

One of the key challenges to realize automated processing of the information on the Web, which is the central goal of the Semantic Web, is related to the entity matching problem. There are a number of tools that reliably recognize named entities, such as p ...

Entropy in the Coil-to-Globule Transition of Macromolecules

Carlo Maffi

The coil to globule transition is a fundamental phenomenon in the physics of macro-molecules by reason of the multiplicity of arrangements of their conformation. Such conformational freedom is the main source of entropy in the molecule and is the main oppo ...

How Important is the Detection of Changes in Active Constraints in Real-Time Optimization?

Dominique Bonvin, Saurabh Anand Deshpande

In real-time optimization, enforcing the constraints that need to be active is important for optimality. In fact, it has been established in the context of parametric variations that, if these constraints are not satisfied, the optimality loss would be O($ ...

Determination of a scale-up factor from mixing time studies in orbitally shaken bioreactors

Christos Comninellis, Florian Maria Wurm, Mohamed Farhat, David Hacker, Stéphanie Tissot

Efficient mixing in bioreactors is essential in order to avoid concentration gradients which can be harmful for mammalian cells. To study mixing and its scalability in orbitally shaken cylindrical bioreactors, we measured mixing times in containers with no ...
