Crowd Dynamics in Small Teams in Higher Education

Christopher Tucci, Gianluigi Viscusi

This article aims to empirically study “crowd” dynamics in small teams and complement the work presented in Tucci et al. [2016], and Tucci and Viscusi [2017]. As in previous papers, we use as theoretical lens the framework and related typology of “crowd” d ...

What-if Analysis with Conflicting Goals: Recommending Data Ranges for Exploration

Thành Tâm Nguyên

What-if analysis is a data-intensive exploration to inspect how changes in a set of input parameters of a model influence some outcomes. It is motivated by a user trying to understand the sensitivity of a model to a certain parameter in order to reach a se ...

From Goal-Achievement to the Maintenance of Relationships: Extending Business Process Models with Homeostasis and Appreciation

Gil Regev, Irina Rychkova

We use homeostasis, the maintenance of steady states in an organism, to explain some of the decisions made by participants in a business process. We use Vickers’s Appreciative System to model the homeostatic states with Harel’s statecharts. We take the exa ...

Causal role of the inferolateral prefrontal cortex in balancing goal-directed and habitual control of behavior

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Successful adaptation to complex environments depends on the balance of at least two systems: a flexible but slow goal-directed system encoding action-outcome associations and an efficient but rigid habitual system linking responses to preceding stimuli. R ...

Online walking motion and foothold optimization for quadruped locomotion

Jonas Buchli, Farbod Farshidian, Alexander Winkler

Abstract: We present an algorithm that generates walking motions for quadruped robots without the use of an explicit footstep planner by simultaneously optimizing over both the Center of Mass (CoM) trajectory and the footholds. Feasibility is achieved by i ...

Semiconducting alternating multi-block copolymers via a di-functionalized macromonomer approach

Kevin Sivula, Liang Yao, Nestor Guijarro Carratala, Xavier Adrian Jeanbourquin, Andrea Gasperini

The development of fully-conjugated semiconducting block-copolymers is an important goal for organic electronics, but to date has been almost exclusively limited to materials containing poly(3-alkylthiophenes). Here we present the prototype of a class of f ...
