Most hardware predictors are table based (e.g. two-level branch predictors) and have exponential size growth in the number of input bits or features (e.g. previous branch outcomes). This growth severely limits the amount of predictive information that such ...
Modern material technology relies increasingly on processes for surface modification and coating. Generally, we are lacking a possibility to monitor the progress of such processes. Thus the outcome can only be analyzed after the end of the whole process cy ...
An adaptive Exponential Integrate-and-Fire (aEIF) model was used to predict the activity of layer-V-pyramidal neurons of rat neocortex under random current injection. A new protocol has been developed to extract the parameters of the aEIF model using an op ...
Changes in soil pore volume and shape in response to internal and external mechanical stresses alter key soil hydrologic and transport properties. The extent of these changes is dependent on details of pore shape and size evolution. We present a model for ...
For centuries, the use of glass in buildings was essentially restricted to functions such as windows and glazing. Over the last decades, continuous improvements in production and refining technologies have enabled glass elements to carry more substantial s ...
SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH
• Experimental determination of the composite rheology
• Modelisation of the composite viscoelastic behaviour
• Investigation on the interactions between components
• Proposal of predictive models for the mechanical behaviour ...
BACKGROUND: Supraspinatus deficiency is the most frequent and important problem associated to rotator cuff pathologies. It reduces shoulder stability and can lead to osteoarthritis. The goal of this study was to develop a numerical model of the shoulder to ...
We show system identification of self-organizing, swarm robotic systems using a ``gray-box'' approach, based on probabilistic macroscopic models. At hand of a well studied case study concerned with the autonomous inspection of a regular structure by a swar ...
In the context of the LWR-PROTEUS program, radial and azimuthal 235U fission (F5) and 238U capture (C8) rate distributions have been calculated for zero-burnup pins of a Westinghouse SVEA-96 Optima2 boiling water reactor fuel assembly using the stochastic ...
The present paper describes observations, analyses and models of salt-marsh channel network and vegetation patterns with the aim of contributing to the development of predictive models of ecological and morphological co-evolution. Existing and new observat ...
