Techniques for the Modelling of the Process Systems in Slow and Fast-Moving Landslides

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, John Eichenberger, Julien Travelletti

This chapter reviews some of the current strategies for landslide modelling. Main physical processes in landslides are first recalled. Numerical tools are then introduced for the analysis of the behaviour of slow- and fast-moving landslides. Representative ...

The Generalized Loneliness Detector and Weak System Models for k-Set Agreement

Martin Biely

This paper presents two weak partially synchronous system models Manti(n-k) and Msink(n-k), which are just strong enough for solving k-set agreement: We introduce the generalized (n-k)-loneliness failure detector L(k), which we first prove to be sufficient ...

SWISS FRENCH REGIONAL ACCENT IDENTIFICATION

Sébastien Marcel, Philip Neil Garner

In this paper an attempt is made to automatically recognize the speaker’s accent among regional Swiss French accents from four different regions of Switzerland, i.e. Geneva (GE), Martigny (MA), Neuchˆatel (NE) and Nyon (NY). To achieve this goal, we rely o ...

A dynamic discrete-continuous choice model for car ownership and usage: estimation procedure

Michel Bierlaire, Aurélie Glerum, Emma Frejinger

This research focuses on the formulation of a dynamic discrete-continuous choice model to explain and predict individuals choices regarding car ownership, choice of fuel type and choice of annual driving distance. Its main contribution is to integrate dyna ...

Efficient geometrical parametrisation techniques of interfaces for reduced-order modelling: application to fluid-structure interaction coupling problems

Gianluigi Rozza, Davide Forti

We present some recent advances and improvements in shape parametrisation techniques of interfaces for reduced-order modelling with special attention to fluid-structure interaction problems and the management of structural deformations, namely, to represen ...

Keynote lecture - Potential, limits and perspectives of physical and numerical modelling

Giovanni De Cesare

In the 19th Century, hydraulic engineering was typically addressed in two parallel approaches. On one hand, classical theoretical fluid mechanics with the use of analytical approaches to study various flow occurrences. Due to the difficulty and complexity ...

Contributions to Spatial Statistics

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud

This thesis proposes some contributions to the spatial modelling of species distributions and extreme values. Predictive models are increasingly used to model the distribution of species and to estimate the potential effects of global change on biodiversit ...

Punching resistance and flexural behaviour of continuous flat slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Jürgen Einpaul

The punching resistance of actual reinforced concrete flat slabs is potentially influenced by the compressive membrane action, which may significantly increase their resistance compared to isolated laboratory specimens. However, design codes have been deve ...

Specification and Implementation of a Meta-model for Information Systems Cartography

Alain Wegmann, Gorica Tapandjieva Sekulovska

Models are used in software engineering, enterprise architecture, requirements engineering, etc. In this context, models can give support in creating a shared understanding of what exists in an enterprise. For this purpose we suggest to use a cartography t ...

Coupling a Computable General Equilibrium Model with a Bottom‐Up model: Lessons from GEMINI‐E3 experiments

Marc Vielle

GEMINI-E3 is a multi-country, multi-sector, recursive computable general equilibrium model comparable to the other CGE models (EPPA, ENV-Linkage, etc.) built and implemented by other modeling teams and institutions, and sharing the same long experience in ...
