An improvement on geometrical parameterizations by transfinite maps

Gianluigi Rozza, Laura Iapichino, Christoph Jäggli

We present a method to generate a non-affine transfinite map from a given reference domain to a family of deformed domains. The map is a generalization of the Gordon–Hall transfinite interpolation approach. It is defined globally over the reference domain. ...

Distributionally Robust Workforce Scheduling in Call Centers with Uncertain Arrival Rates

Shuangqing Liao

Call centre scheduling aims to determine the workforce so as to meet target service levels. The service level depends on the mean rate of arrival calls, which fluctuates during the day, and from day to day. The staff schedule must adjust the workforce peri ...

A question of knowledge

Roland John Tormey

Here we look at incorporating development education into classroom life and professional practice by examining the issue of teachers who teach development education but who do not have a strong knowledge base in global development issues. Where will they l ...

Global and local gyrokinetic simulations of high-performance discharges in view of ITER

Olivier Sauter, Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner

One of the key challenges for plasma theory and simulation in view of ITER is to enhance the understanding and predictive capability concerning high-performance discharges. This involves, in particular, questions about high-beta operation, ion temperature ...

Integration of BIP into Connectivity Factory: Implementation

Simon Bliudze, Anastasia Mavridou, Radoslaw Szymanek, Alina Zolotukhina

Coordinating component behaviour and, in particular, concurrent access to resources is among the key difficulties of building large concurrent systems. To address this, developers must be able to manipulate high-level concepts, such as Finite State Machine ...

How Recurrent Dynamics Explain Crowding

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

In crowding, flankers impair target perception. For example, Vernier offset discrimination deteriorates when the Vernier is flanked by parallel lines. Pooling models explain crowding by averaging neural activity over both Vernier and flankers. Recently, ho ...

Global environmental taxes

Philippe Thalmann

Other chapters of this Handbook show that environmental taxes are very interesting instruments for environmental regulation. The question addressed in this chapter is whether they are still interesting when the environmental problem is a global one. Are th ...
