Computing light reflection from rough surfaces is an important topic in computer graphics. Reflection models developed based on geometric optics fail to capture wave effects such as diffraction and interference, while existing models based on physical opti ...
Quasi-Newton (qN) techniques approximate the Newton step by estimating the Hessian using the so-called secant equations. Some of these methods compute the Hessian using several secant equations but produce non-symmetric updates. Other quasi-Newton schemes, ...
This paper presents a model to estimate travel time using cumulative plots. Three different cases are considered: i) case-Det, for only detector data; ii) case-DetSig, for detector data and signal controller data and iii) case- DetSigSFR, for detector data ...
We introduce a new numerical method for the time-dependent Maxwell equations on unstructured meshes in two space dimensions. This relies on the introduction of a new mesh, which is the barycentric-dual cellular complex of the starting simplicial mesh, and ...
A stochastic method to disaggregate rain rate fields into drop size distribution (DSD) fields is proposed. It is based on a previously presented DSD simulator that has been modified to take into account prescribed block-averaged rain rate values at a coars ...
We present a framework for approximating the metric TSP based on a novel use of matchings. Traditionally, matchings have been used to add edges to make a given graph Eulerian, whereas our approach also allows for the removal of certain edges leading to a d ...
This paper presents a model for estimation of average travel time on signalized urban lane using cumulative plots. The plots are generated based on the availability of data: a) case-D, for detector data only; b) case-DS, for detector data and signal timing ...
CEA is currently working on a new ZPR called ZEPHYR (Zero power Experimental PHYsics Reactor), to be built on the Cadarache Center in the next decade. Its awaited experimental capacities should go well beyond traditional needs, and in particular extended p ...
This paper provides fundamental understanding for the use of cumulative plots for travel time estimation on signalized urban networks. Analytical modeling is performed to generate cumulative plots based on the availability of data: a) Case-D, for detector ...
We investigate the tip region of a power law fluid driven fracture propagating at constant velocity V in an impermeable linear elastic medium with the presence of fluid lag of a priori unknown length. The fracture is loaded by the internal fluid pressure p ...
