Compilation Techniques for Incremental Collection Processing

Daniel Lupei

Many map-reduce frameworks as well as NoSQL systems rely on collection programming as their interface of choice due to its rich semantics along with an easily parallelizable set of primitives. Unfortunately, the potential of collection programming is not ...

Femtosecond manipulation of spins, charges, and ions in nanostructures, thin films, and surfaces

Fabrizio Carbone

Modern ultrafast techniques provide new insights into the dynamics of ions, charges, and spins in photoexcited nanostructures. In this review, we describe the use of time-resolved electron-based methods to address specific questions such as the ordering pr ...

Classification of Biorefineries Taking into Account Sustainability Potentials and Flexibility

Edgard Gnansounou

Conversion of biomass into multi-products started several centuries ago. However, the idea to conceptualize portfolios of bioproducts and their associate interwoven processes as a biorefinery in reference to petroleum refinery dated only from few decades. ...

Dynamic Graffiti Stylisation with Stochastic Optimal Control

Sylvain Calinon

We present a method for the interactive generation of stylised letters, curves and motion paths that are similar to the ones that can be observed in art forms such as graffiti and calligraphy. We define various stylisations of a letter form over a common g ...

LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF BIOREFINERIES

The emerging concept of global biobased economy has seen unprecedented growth and development, and biomass-based biorefineries have attained center stage in the production of fuels and chemicals. Life-Cycle Assessment of Biorefineries explores the fundamen ...

Annual glare evaluation for fabrics

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold

Although fabrics are widely used as shading devices, reliable simulation models are rather rare and therefore the choice of a fabric with appropriate material characteristics is difficult. This paper presents a simulation model, which can be applied to mos ...

Automobility Beyond Car

Farzaneh Bahrami

How is the future of automobility imagined today? What has structured such imaginary ? And what levers can steer its evolution towards a Post-Car World? These very three questions form the foundational motivations of this thesis. First, through a h ...

Expressing Motivations By Facilitating Other’s Inverse Reinforcement Learning

Pierre Dillenbourg, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Alexis David Jacq, Ana Paiva

It is often necessary to understand each other’s motivations in order to cooperate. Reaching such a mutual understanding requires two abilities: to build models of other’s motivations in order to understand them, and to build a model of “my” motivations pe ...

Localization of Sound Sources in a Room with One Microphone

Pierre Vandergheynst, Hervé Lissek, Helena Peic Tukuljac

Estimation of the location of sound sources is usually done using microphone arrays. Such settings provide an environment where we know the difference between the received signals among different microphones in the terms of phase or attenuation, which enab ...

Linear flavor-wave theory for fully antisymmetric SU( N ) irreducible representations

Frédéric Mila, Francisco Hyunkyu Kim, Karlo Penc, Pierre Marcel Nataf

The extension of the linear flavor-wave theory to fully antisymmetric irreducible representations (irreps) of SU(N) is presented in order to investigate the color order of SU(N) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg models in several two-dimensional geometries. The ...
