Development of the Geographical Proportional-to-size Street-Intercept Sampling (GPSIS) method for recruiting urban nightlife-goers in an entire city

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Darshan Santani

We developed the Geographical Proportional-to-size Street-Intercept Sampling (GPSIS) method in order to obtain a sample of nightlife-goers which accounted for the diversity of spaces, patrons and locations within two Swiss cities. Popular nightlife zones w ...

Discrete least-squares approximations over optimized downward closed polynomial spaces in arbitrary dimension

Fabio Nobile, Giovanni Migliorati

We analyze the accuracy of the discrete least-squares approximation of a function

Extracting the interfacial free energy and anisotropy from a smooth fluctuating dividing surface

Michele Ceriotti, Gareth Aneurin Tribello, Edoardo Baldi

Interfaces between different materials and phases play a crucial role in many physical and chemical phenomena. When performing simulations of matter at the atomic scale, however, it is often not trivial to characterize these interfaces, particularly when t ...

Gauging the highs: design and realization of a water sample campaign during high and low streamflow

How does the streamwater quality change during storm events, and how to characterize it? The purpose of this study is to investigate the evolution of major ions in streamwater from base ow to storm ux. Regular manual sampling and automated sampling campaig ...

Effect-based tools for monitoring estrogenic mixtures: Evaluation of five in vitro bioassays

In vitro estrogen receptor transactivation assays (ERTAs) are increasingly used to measure the overall estrogenic activity of environmental water samples, which may serve as an indicator of exposure of fish or other aquatic organisms to (xeno)estrogens. An ...

Optimization of SEM-EDS to determine the C-A-S-H composition in matured cement paste samples

Karen Scrivener, John Espen Rossen

Microanalysis of characteristic X-rays in the SEM is a powerful method to assess the chemical composition of phases in cement pastes, in particular the calcium silicate hydrate containing aluminium (C-A-S-H). Nevertheless, many variables may influence the ...

Non-Destructive Examination Method for the ITER Toroidal Field Conductor Terminations

Pierluigi Bruzzone

An electric Non-Destructive examination method has been developed in order to inspect the ITER toroidal field (TF) terminations at room temperature and give an indication of the joint performance during manufacturing, thus reducing the risks related to hig ...

Just Sort It! A Simple and Effective Approach to Active Preference Learning

Matthias Grossglauser, Lucas Maystre

We address the problem of learning a ranking by using adaptively chosen pairwise comparisons. Our goal is to recover the ranking accurately but to sample the comparisons sparingly. If all comparison outcomes are consistent with the ranking, the optimal sol ...

On the performance of random reshuffling in stochastic learning

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Bicheng Ying, Kun Yuan

In empirical risk optimization, it has been observed that gradient descent implementations that rely on random reshuffling of the data achieve better performance than implementations that rely on sampling the data randomly and independently of each other. ...
