We present a novel high-order discontinuous Galerkin discretization for the spherical shallow water equations, able to handle wetting/drying and non-conforming, curved meshes in a well-balanced manner. This requires a well-balanced discretization, that can ...
There is a growing need for unbiased clustering algorithms, ideally automated to analyze complex data sets. Topological data analysis (TDA) has been used to approach this problem. This recent field of mathematics discerns characteristic features of a space ...
Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructures in order to satisfy the demand induced
by public transport modes is key to achieving good level-of-service for passengers during
transfers. High temporal variability in demand can lead to high con ...
Since its creation in 2004 [1], graphene has become an important subject in the scientific community. From the Scotch tape method, many techniques have been developed to fabricate and manipulate graphene flakes. This project aims to transfer graphene flake ...
In order to collaborate with humans, robots are often provided with a Theory of Mind (ToM) architecture. Such architectures can be evaluated by humans perception of the robot's adaptations. However, humans sensitivities to these adaptations are not the one ...
A primary challenge in quantum science and technology is to isolate the fragile quantum states from their environment in order to prevent the irreversible leakage of energy and information which causes decoherence. In the late 1990s, however, a new paradig ...
Deep neural network training spends most of the computation on
examples that are properly handled, and could be ignored.We propose to mitigate this phenomenon with a principled importance
sampling scheme that focuses computation on "informative" examples ...
In a context of traffic networks saturation related to urbanisation acceleration, this research is aimed at contributing to the scientific debate on this issue by building a model to describe dynamic pedestriansâ physical distances regulation behaviours ...
Unexpected disruptions occur for many reasons in railway networks and cause delays, cancellations, and, eventually,
passenger inconvenience. This thesis focuses on the railway timetable rescheduling problem from a macroscopic point of view
in case of lar ...
Bones generate electricity under pressure, and this electromechanical behavior is thought to be essential for bone’s self-repair and remodeling properties. The origin of this response is attributed to the piezoelectricity of collagen, which is the main str ...
