We evaluate the percolation threshold values for a realistic model of continuum segregated systems, where random spherical inclusions forbid the percolating objects, modellized by hard-core spherical particles surrounded by penetrable shells, to occupy lar ...
This research proposes new methods to generate rapidly complex folded plate structures that can be built with cross laminated timber panels. Composition and dimensions of these panels as well as the possibility to mill them by Computer Numerically Controll ...
Every action on a Poisson manifold by Poisson diffeomorphisms lifts to a Hamiltonian action on its symplectic groupoid which has a canonically defined momentum map. We study various properties of this momentum map as well as its use in reduction. ...
This work presents and compare two approaches for the semantic segmentation of broadcast news: the first is based on Social Network Analysis, the second is based on Poisson Stochastic Processes. Preliminary experiments address the problem of segmenting aut ...
For a given skew symmetric real n x n matrix N, the bracket X, Y = XNY - YNX defines a Lie algebra structure on the space Sym(n, N) of symmetric n x n real matrices and hence a corresponding Lie-Poisson structure. The purpose of this paper is to inves ...
Biological information-processing systems, such as populations of sensory and motor neurons, may use correlations between the firings of individual elements to obtain lower noise levels and a systemwide performance improvement in the dynamic range or the s ...
Desiccation cracking of soils is of great importance in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering. In many circumstances it is the cause of damages in earthen and soil supported structures. Desiccation cracking affects clayey soil barriers for waste st ...
This paper aims at a first theoretical step toward the probabilistic modeling of nutrient contents in catchment-scale soil states. To this end, we wish to characterize probabilistically the slow, leaching-prone component of the hydrologic response, which c ...
This work presents and compare two approaches for the semantic segmentation of broadcast news: the first is based on Social Network Analysis, the second is based on Poisson Stochastic Processes. The experiments are performed over 27 hours of material: prel ...
Exploiting local stability we show what neuronal characteristics are essential to ensure that coherent oscillations are asymptotically stable in a spatially homogeneous network of {\em spiking/} neurons. Under standard conditions, a necessary and in the l ...
