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 ...
In this paper we exploit the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) on the two dimensional sphere, introduced previously by two of us, to build associated Discrete Wavelet Frames. We first explore half-continuous frames, i.e., frames where the position remains ...
We consider data gathering by a network with a sink node and a tree communication structure, where the goal is to minimize the total transmission cost of transporting the information, collected by the nodes, to the sink node. This problem requires a joint ...
In order to characterize cortical responses to coherent motion we use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to measure human brain activity that is modulated by the degree of global coherence in a visual motion stimulus. Five subjects passively viewed two-phase mot ...
The choice of a specific distribution for random parameters of discrete choice models is a critical issue in transportation analysis. Indeed, various pieces of research have demonstrated that an inappropriate choice of the distribution may lead to serious ...
A proposal function determines the random particle support of a particle filter. When this support is distributed close to the true target density, filter's estimation performance increases for a given number of particles. In this paper, a proposal strateg ...
This book investigates convex multistage stochastic programs whose objective and constraint functions exhibit a generalized nonconvex dependence on the random parameters. Although the classical Jensen and Edmundson-Madansky type bounds or their extensions ...
It is well known that the steady state of an isentropic flow in a dual-throat nozzle with equal throat areas is not unique. In particular there is a possibility that the flow contains a shock wave, whose location is determined solely by the initial conditi ...
We present a model for reverse domain nucleation in ferroelectrics, which takes into account ferroelectric-electrode coupling in both homogeneous and random cases. The model provides a solution to the coercivity paradox-i.e., the large discrepancy between ...
The goal of our project (HES-SO n°11246) is to develop chemometric methods that enhance the development of chemical reactions. Semi-batch experiments are performed using a fully automated chemical reactor. Real-time analytical data, infrared (IR) spectra f ...
