The flexible boundary condition method (FBCM) is a well-established method for the efficient study of complex non-linear atomistic defects while avoiding finite-size effects. The method uses lattice Green's functions (LGFs) to effectively embed an atomisti ...
Recently, there have been multiple proposals for faster methods to calculate glare metrics, daylight glare probability (DGP) in particular. This is driven simultaneously by the lengthy times required to simulate DGP with a conventional image-based approach ...
This letter sets out to describe the first results of the design process that will lead to a new on-line partial discharge location method based on Electromagnetic Time Reversal theory and using the Transmission Line-Matrix method. A description of the bas ...
Quasi-Newton (qN) techniques approximate the Newton step by estimating the Hessian using the so-called secant equations. Some of these methods compute the Hessian using several secant equations but produce non-symmetric updates. Other quasi-Newton schemes, ...
The invention provides an in vitro method for the cell-free quantification of virus neutralizing activity, such as the SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing activity, of biological samples and kit for carrying out the method. The invention also provides a method of scre ...
The Management is a key element in organizations and is a major component in their success. The aim of this thesis is to study the implementation of an enterprise management by putting forward the human factor. The ISO31000 ”Risk Management” standard and t ...
Deficit Round-Robin (DRR) is a widespread scheduling algorithm that provides fair queueing with variable-length packets. Bounds on worst-case delays for DRR were found by Boyer et al., who used a rigorous network calculus approach and characterized the ser ...
In this work we investigate stochastic non-convex optimization problems wherethe objective is an expectation over smooth loss functions, and the goal is to find an approximate stationary point. The most popular approach to handling such problems is varianc ...
We present a novel method for isogeometric analysis (IGA) to directly work on geometries constructed by Boolean operations including difference (i.e., trimming), union, and intersection. Particularly, this work focuses on the union operation, which involve ...
