This paper concerns approximate cloaking by mapping for a full, but scalar wave equation, when one allows for physically relevant frequency dependence of the material properties of the cloak. The paper is a natural continuation of [20], but here we employ ...
Perceptual learning is the ability to improve perception through practice. Perceptual learning is usually specific for the task and the stimulus features trained with. For example, training orientation discrimination with vertically oriented stimuli does n ...
Programming systems incorporating aspects of functional programming, e.g., higher-order func- tions, are becoming increasingly popular for large-scale distributed programming. New frameworks such as Apache Spark leverage functional techniques to provide hi ...
The Locomotive Assignment Problem (LAP) is a class of planning and scheduling problems solved by assigning a fleet of locomotives to a network of trains. In the planning versions of the LAP, the type of consist (a group of linked locomotives) assigned to e ...
We propose to investigate a new approach to effect checking that has an elegant solution to the effect polymorphism problem. The central idea is that instead of talking about effects we talk about capabilities. For instance, instead of saying a function “t ...
Social buttons are now widespread in social media apps. They are used to assign weight to user content and trigger user engagement. They come in different shapes (e.g., thumb in Facebook, arrows in Reddit or StackOverflow, plus one in Google+) but very lit ...
In this talk, we will first review the physics and mechanics of fluid driven fractures with the aim of engineering hydraulic stimulation in practice. In particular, based on theoretical modeling and comparisons with experiments, we will clarify a number of ...
Bi2Se3 has recently attracted a lot of attention because it has been reported to be a platform for the realization of three-dimensional topological insulators. Due to this exotic characteristic, it supports excitations of a two-dimensional electron gas at ...
Although a building lifetime is not predictable, it is an essential data in the yearly impact calculation. Yet, in the assessment of the environmental impacts of building the lifetime is considered as a fixed value. The purpose of this study is to introduc ...
Reinforcement learning is a type of supervised learning, where reward is sparse and delayed. For example in chess, a series of moves is made until a sparse reward (win, loss) is issued, which makes it impossible to evaluate the value of a single move. Stil ...
