This article widens the scope of the cell-transmission model (CTM) to the modeling of urban traffic, which is dominated by intersection dynamics. The CTM has originally been proposed for freeways, and it is not immediately applicable to urban traffic for t ...
Recovering multiple point light sources from a sparse set of photographs in which objects of unknown texture can move is challenging. This is because both diffuse and specular reflections appear to slide across surfaces, which is a well known physical fact ...
We address the numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems characterized by a strong added-mass effect. We propose a semi-implicit coupling scheme based on an algebraic fractional-step method. The basic idea of a semi-implicit scheme consi ...
A new traffic-responsive ramp-metering strategy is presented that coordinates local ramp-metering actions, thus enabling the linked control of the inflow from two (or more) consecutive on-ramps to the freeway mainstream. The proposed linked ramp-metering s ...

JET plasmas with reverse magnetic field feature a different SOL flow than those with normal field. The observed carbon fuelling efficiency from injecting methane gas was similar in reverse and normal field. EDGE2D modeling used an externally applied force ...
This paper presents a low rate progressive 3D mesh compression scheme for simple genus-zero 3D objects. The proposed scheme is based on signal representation using redundant expansions. 3D model representation is constructed using a Matching Pursuit algori ...
In this paper, a 3D hand model fitting method is presented which can recover the accurate finger positions for a virtual keyboard system. The 3D hand model consists of a detailed polygonal skin driven by an underlying skeleton system. The system uses a str ...
In this work, we propose new ways to employ 3D-ranging systems in advanced human-computer interfaces and show that they can be used for precise hand-tracking systems aiming at virtual keyboard or mouse applications. We first implement a Structured Light (S ...
This thesis presents the development of models for the simulation and optimization of the design of a planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack. Fuel cells produce electric power directly from a fuel by electrochemical reactions. The high efficiencies demo ...
The structure of the Si(100)-SiO2 interface is investigated at the atomic scale by combining Rutherford ion scattering measurements and theoretical modeling. Ion-scattering experiments are performed in the channeling geometry using ion energies between 0.4 ...
