Physical modelling optimization of a filter check dam in Switzerland

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sebastian Schwindt

After a major flood with a peak discharge of 177 m³/s in the city of Martigny (Valais, Switzerland) by the alpine river Drance in October 2000, the local authorities are strengthening efforts for the protection of the urban area. The Drance has an annual a ...

Atrial fibrillation septal pacing: translation of modelling results

Adrian Luca

Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) septal pacing consists of rapid pacing from a ring of electrodes around the atrial septum, leading to local capture of both atria during AF. The present model-based study evaluated the impact of the number of stimulation elec ...

Numerical rebuilding of Expansion Tunnel Ablation Testing in terrestrial entry conditions

As part of the understanding of radiative coupling phenomena with ablation phenom- ena for hypersonic re-entry of Hayabusa or Stardust type of capsules, laboratory tests are very important. Only expansion tubes can reproduce flight conditions at these spee ...

Recurrent Attention Models for Depth-Based Person Identification

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

We present an attention-based model that reasons on human body shape and motion dynamics to identify individuals in the absence of RGB information, hence in the dark. Our approach leverages unique 4D spatio-temporal signatures to address the identification ...

Models of crowding: a comparative study

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Michael Clarke

In crowding, the perception of an object deteriorates in the presence of nearby elements. Obviously, crowding is a ubiquitous phenomenon, since elements are rarely seen in isolation. Despite this ubiquity, there exists no consensus on how to model crowding ...

Revisiting the Route Choice Problem: A Modeling Framework Based on Mental Representations

Michel Bierlaire, Evanthia Kazagli

We present a new approach for modeling and analyzing route choice behavior. It is motivated by the need to reduce the complexity of the state-of-the-art choice models. It is inspired by the simplifications done by the travelers, using representations of th ...
