Large deviations analysis of adaptive distributed detection

In distributed inference, local cooperation among network nodes can be exploited to enhance the performance of each individual agent, but a challenging requirement for networks operating in dynamic real-world environments is that of adaptation. The interpl ...

Band offsets of lattice-matched semiconductor heterojunctions through hybrid functionals and G(0)W(0)

Alfredo Pasquarello, Wei Chen, Karim Steiner

To assess the accuracy of hybrid functional and many-body GW methods, we study the band offsets for a set of lattice-matched semiconductor heterojunctions, including AlAs/GaAs(100), AlP/GaP(100), Si/GaP(110), Ge/GaAs(110), Ge/AlAs(110), Ge/ZnSe(110), and Z ...

A Genetic Basis for Altered Sexual Behavior in Mutant Female Mice

Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany

Although neural substrates of mammalian female mating behavior have been described [1, 2], the association between complex courtship activity and specific underlying mechanisms remains elusive [3]. We have isolated a mouse line that unexpectedly shows alte ...

Energy system design under uncertainty

Matthias Dubuis

The current context leads energy system design to very demanding objectives, due to their variety. Indeed, despite an increasing energy demand, environment indicators are becoming always more important. So that for a given service, emission (and then assoc ...

Electronic and Optical Properties of Semiconductor Quantum Dots

Guillaume Jean Tarel

This thesis is devoted to theoretically study the systems of single quantum dots (QDs) embedded in various photonic nanostructures, in close relation with experimental data. The word single is essential: due to their nanometer size, QDs have mainly been st ...

Partitioned real-time scheduling on heterogeneous shared-memory multiprocessors

Martin Niemeier

We consider several real-time scheduling problems on heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms, in which the different processors share a common memory pool. These include (i)~scheduling a collection of implicit-deadline sporadic tasks with the objective of m ...

On large deviations for the parabolic Anderson model

Thomas Mountford, Damien Gauthier, Michael Cranston

The focus of this article is on the different behavior of large deviations of random functionals associated with the parabolic Anderson model above the mean versus large deviations below the mean. The functionals we treat are the solution u(x, t) to the sp ...

Direct evaluation of the temperature dependence of the rate constant based on the quantum instanton approximation

Jiri Vanicek, Marcin Rafal Buchowiecki

A general method for the direct evaluation of the temperature dependence of the quantum-mechanical reaction rate constant in many-dimensional systems is described. The method is based on the quantum instanton approximation for the rate constant, thermodyna ...

Large deviations for voter model occupation times in two dimensions

Thomas Mountford, Grégory Maillard

We study the decay rate of large deviation probabilities of occupation times, up to time t, for the voter model eta : Z(2) x [0, infinity) -> {0, 1} with simple random walk transition kernel, starting from a Bernoulli product distribution with density rho ...

On Large Deviation Regimes For Random Media Models

Thomas Mountford, Damien Gauthier, Michael Cranston

The focus of this article is on the different behavior of large deviations of random subadditive functionals above the mean versus large deviations below the mean in two random media models. We consider the point-to-point first passage percolation time a(n ...
