Rigid body dynamics simulation for robot motion planning

The development of robot motion planning algorithms is inherently a challenging task. This is more than ever true when the latest trends in motion planning are considered. Some motion planners can deal with kinematic and dynamic constraints induced by the ...

Monte Carlo calibration of avalanches described as Coulomb fluid flows

Christophe Ancey

The idea that snow avalanches might behave as granular flows, and thus be described as Coulomb fluid flows, came up very early in the scientific study of avalanches, but it is not until recently that field evidence has been provided that demonstrates the r ...

Estimation of value of travel-time savings using Mixed Logit models

Michel Bierlaire

In this paper, we discuss some of the issues that arise with the computation of the implied value of travel-time savings in the case of discrete choice models allowing for random taste heterogeneity. We specifically look at the case of models producing a n ...

Semi-passive replication and Lazy Consensus

André Schiper, Xavier Défago

This paper presents two main contributions: semi-passive replication and Lazy Consensus. The former is a replication technique with parsimonious processing. It is based on the latter; a variant of Consensus allowing the lazy evaluation of proposed values. ...

A molecular dynamics study of an incommensurate modulation compound: 4,4 '-dichlorobiphenyl sulphone

Gervais Chapuis

A molecular dynamics simulation of 4, 4'-dichlorobiphenyl sulfone was carried out in order to study the phase transition from a normal to incommensurate modulated phase observed experimentally. Agreements of simulated and experimental diffraction patterns ...

Gaussian Processes for Machine Learning

Matthias Seeger

Gaussian processes (GPs) are natural generalisations of multivariate Gaussian random variables to infinite (countably or continuous) index sets. GPs have been applied in a large number of fields to a diverse range of ends, and very many deep theoretical an ...

Vieillissement et fiabilité des parcs de poteaux bois des réseaux de lignes aériennes

Yann Benoit

The reliability of new overhead electric and telecommunication lines depends principally on the quality of their support structures. These structures are generally made of wood, metal or concrete. The complexity of a natural substance such as wood requires ...

Melanocytes and pigmentation are affected in dopachrome tautomerase knockout mice

Friedrich Beermann

The tyrosinase family comprises three members, tyrosinase (Tyr), tyrosinase-related protein 1 (Tyrp1), and dopachrome tautomerase (Dct). Null mutations and deletions at the Tyr and Tyrp1 loci are known and phenotypically affect coat color due to the absenc ...

Gait assessment in Parkinson's disease: toward an ambulatory system for long-term monitoring

Kamiar Aminian, Catherine Dehollain, Arash Salarian

An ambulatory gait analysis method using body-attached gyroscopes to estimate spatio-temporal parameters of gait has been proposed and validated against a reference system for normal and pathologic gait. Later, ten Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with su ...

Computer-intensive statistical methods

Diego Kuonen

The saddlepoint approximation was introduced into statistics in 1954 by Henry E. Daniels. This basic result on approximating the density function of the sample mean has been generalized to many situations. The accuracy of this approximation is very good, p ...
