Agent-based modeling for studying the choices of households in Switzerland

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Anna Pagani

Housing plays a fundamental role in the transition towards a more sustainable society. In Switzerland, the unbalanced relationship between environmental, economic and social factors manifests itself in the current market trends of rental apartments, where ...

Re-imagining the collective space

Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon

A careful reading of the evolution of the central dualism opposing public and private domains reveals the relatively silent presence of a third entity: the collective space. In comparison with the importance of a third way in economic and political fields, ...

Re-imagining the collective space

Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon

Reproduction can be perceived in two opposite ways from the urban planning point of view, both as a driving force and as a braking weight. Driving force because urban phenomena are precisely produced by re-producing, and especially by reproducing the funda ...

Dimensionally Tight Bounds for Second-Order Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

Nisheeth Vishnoi, Oren Rami Mangoubi

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) is a widely deployed method to sample from high-dimensional distributions in Statistics and Machine learning. HMC is known to run very efficiently in practice and its popular second-order "leapfrog" implementation has long bee ...

Flexoelectricity in Bones

Dragan Damjanovic

Bones generate electricity under pressure, and this electromechanical behavior is thought to be essential for bone’s self-repair and remodeling properties. The origin of this response is attributed to the piezoelectricity of collagen, which is the main str ...

Experimental demonstration of the water-holding property of three-dimensional vortices

When injecting dye into a vertical vortex generated by a commercial magnetic stirrer, one finds that dye remains captured around the vortex core over minutes, while it gets mixed with the water outside this region rather rapidly. Thus, considering its hori ...

Locality of the anomalous Hall conductivity

Antimo Marrazzo

The geometrical intrinsic contribution to the anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) of a metal is commonly expressed as a reciprocal-space integral: as such, it only addresses unbounded and macroscopically homogeneous samples. Here we show that the geometrical ...

Multiresolution Subdivision Snakes

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann, Anaïs Laure Marie-Thérèse Badoual

We present a new family of snakes that satisfy the property of multiresolution by exploiting subdivision schemes. We show in a generic way how to construct such snakes based on an admissible subdivision mask. We derive the necessary energy formulations and ...

Genetic modification: A tool for enhancing beta-glucosidase production for biofuel application

Beta-glucosidase (BGL) is a rate-limiting enzyme for cellulose hydrolysis as it acts in the final step of lignocellulosic biomass conversion to convert cellobiose into glucose, the final end product. Most of the fungal strains used for cellulase production ...

Tracking The Untrackable: Learning To Track Multiple Cues with Long-Term Dependencies

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

The majority of existing solutions to the Multi-Target Tracking (MTT) problem do not combine cues in a coherent end-to-end fashion over a long period of time. However, we present an online method that encodes long-term temporal dependencies across multiple ...
