The overall strategy used by growing axons to find their correct paths during the nervous system development is not yet completely understood. Indeed, some emergent and counterintuitive phenomena were recently described during axon pathfinding in presence ...
Social media platforms are increasingly used in recent years to support learning activities, especially for the construction of activity- and learner-centric personal learning environments (PLEs). This thesis investigates the solutions to four essential de ...
A thorough analysis of the key factors impacting on the performance of Brillouin distributed optical fiber sensors is presented. An analytical expression is derived to estimate the error on the determination of the Brillouin peak gain frequency, based for ...
In part I of this two-paper series, a method for the localization of an impact using dynamic strain signals from fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors is presented. In this paper, an inverse numerical-experimental method allowing to identify the damage based o ...
Coverage criteria aim at satisfying test requirements and compute metrics values that quantify the adequacy of test suites at revealing defects in programs. Typically, a test requirement is a structural program element, and the coverage metric value repres ...
In a bilingual paper entitled 'Bibliometrics as weapons of mass citation - La bibliometrie comme arme de citation massive',([1]) recently translated into English,([2]) we have argued that the current fashion of ranking people, papers and journals is anythi ...
The interactions between 60 degrees dislocation pile-ups with grain boundaries (GBs) are studied using multiscale modeling. Careful quantitative analyses of complex processes associated with 60 degrees dislocation absorption and transmission phenomena at S ...
Selection and aggregation of ranking criteria became an important topic in information retrieval as search is getting more specialized and as volume of electronically available information grows. In this context, document ranking has undergone a shift from ...
Over the last years the h-index has gained popularity as a measure for comparing the impact of scientists. We investigate if ranking according to the h-index is stable with respect to (i) different choices of citation databases, (ii) normalizing citation c ...
This paper presents 3-D brain tissue classification schemes using three recent promising energy minimization methods for Markov random fields: graph cuts, loopy belief propagation and tree-reweighted message passing. The classification is performed using t ...
