Patents, War and Peace. The resilience of the international patent order through the First World War

Nicolas Christophe Chachereau

By the end of the 19th century, an international order had emerged for patents, allowing business actors to use patents in many countries concurrently, and thus supporting a new phase in the development of industrial capitalism. Centered on Europe in spite ...

Better Trees for Santa Claus

Etienne Michel François Bamas, Lars Rohwedder

We revisit the problem max-min degree arborescence, which was introduced by Bateni et al. [STOC'09] as a central special case of the general Santa Claus problem, which constitutes a notorious open question in approximation algorithms. In the former problem ...

Sensor-based control strategies for integration of epidural electrical stimulation in rehabilitation after spinal cord injury

Miroslav Caban

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) results in damage to neural circuitry connecting the brain to the periphery. Consequently, sensory and motor function is lost, to varying degree, depending on the site and severity of the lesion. More than half of spinal cord injur ...

On the mechanical behavior of expansive porous media with consideration on chemical effects

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Experimental geomechanics highlights that the mechanical behavior of expansive porous media is variable depending on the pore water chemical composition. These porous media are typically characterized by clay particles, whose activity (Skempton, 1953) (and ...

Investigation on the effect of eccentricity for fuel disc irradiation tests

Andreas Pautz, Carlo Fiorina, Alessandro Scolaro

A varying degree of eccentricity always exists in the initial configuration of a nuclear fuel rod. Its impact on traditional LWR fuel is limited as the radial gap closes relatively early during irradiation. However, the effect of misalignment is expected t ...

Multi-View Shape Estimation of Transparent Containers

Pascal Frossard, Andrea Cavallaro, Apostolos Modas

The 3D localisation of an object and the estimation of its properties, such as shape and dimensions, are challenging under varying degrees of transparency and lighting conditions. In this paper, we propose a method for jointly localising container-like obj ...
