High-Resolution NMR in Magnetic Fields with Unknown Spatiotemporal Variations

Geoffrey Bodenhausen

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments are usually carried out in homogeneous magnetic fields. In many cases, however, high-resolution spectra are virtually impossible to obtain because of the inherent heterogeneity of the samples or living organisms ...

Reliability-Based Optimization Using Evolutionary Algorithms

David Daum

Uncertainties in design variables and problem parameters are often inevitable and must be considered in an optimization task if reliable optimal solutions are sought. Besides a number of sampling techniques, there exist several mathematical approximations ...

A process model for structural identification

Ian Smith, Sandro Saitta

Structural identification is the activity of determining how a structure is behaving using results from measurements. This paper presents a process model for carrying out structural identification over the life of the structure using results from structura ...

Wave field coding in the spacetime frequency domain

Martin Vetterli, Francisco Pereira Correia Pinto

We present a new method for compressing spatio-temporal audio data for reproduction through Wave Field Synthesis. The data is obtained by sampling the sound field in space at equally-spaced points on a straight line, and transformed into the frequency doma ...

Sparse Sampling of Signal Innovations

Martin Vetterli, Pina Marziliano, Thierry Blu, Lionel Coulot, Pier Luigi Dragotti

Sparse sampling of continuous-time sparse signals is addressed. In particular, it is shown that sampling at the rate of innovation is possible, in some sense applying Occam's razor to the sampling of sparse signals. The noisy case is analyzed and solved, p ...

Observer des télé enquêteurs : les paradoxes de la rationalisation de la production statistique

Issu d’une expérience croisée d’observation du déroulement d’une enquête longitudinale, cet article interroge les ambivalences de la rationalisation de la passation. L’externalisation de la passation de l’enquête observée vers un centre d’appel téléphoniqu ...

Halton Sampling for Image Registration Based on Mutual Information

Michel Bierlaire, Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz

Mutual information is a widely used similarity measure for aligning multimodal medical images. At its core it relies on the computation of a discrete joint histogram, which itself requires image samples for its estimation. In this paper we study the influe ...

The Complexity of Distinguishing Distributions

Serge Vaudenay, Thomas Baignères

Cryptography often meets the problem of distinguishing distributions. In this paper we review techniques from hypothesis testing to express the advantage of the best distinguisher limited to a given number of samples. We link it with the Chernoff informati ...

A method for the enumeration of the floppy modes and the calculation of the associated entropy

Giuseppe Foffi

We present a method that is based on the Ladd-Frenkel (LF) thermodynamic integration for the study of the rigidity of networks of particles bonded together by short-ranged square well attractive potentials. We show that, by taking the limit of the attracti ...

R&D cooperation and failures in innovation projects: Empirical evidence from French CIS data

Stéphane Lhuillery

The second French Community Innovation Survey (CIS) indicates that 14% of R&D collaborating firms had to abandon or delay their innovation projects due to difficulties in their partnerships, an outcome which we term “cooperation failures”. Controlling for ...
