Transformations silencieuses : étude sur l'architecture alpine

This thesis addresses the question of abandonment in architecture, not in its negative sense of desertion, but as a possibility offered to buildings which have lost their original purpose, which is to say those buildings from social and economic contexts w ...

Optimism in the Face of Adversity: Understanding and Improving Deep Learning through Adversarial Robustness

Pascal Frossard, Seyed Mohsen Moosavi Dezfooli, Guillermo Ortiz Jimenez, Apostolos Modas

Driven by massive amounts of data and important advances in computational resources, new deep learning systems have achieved outstanding results in a large spectrum of applications. Nevertheless, our current theoretical understanding on the mathematical fo ...

The future of human cerebral cartography: a novel approach

Henry Markram, Richard Frackowiak

Cerebral cartography can be understood in a limited, static, neuroanatomical sense. Temporal information from electrical recordings contributes information on regional interactions adding a functional dimension. Selective tagging and imaging of molecules a ...

Constraint-Based Graphic Statics - A geometrical support for computer-aided structural equilibrium design

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

This thesis introduces “constraint-based graphic statics”, a geometrical support for computer-aided structural design. This support increases the freedom with which the designer interacts with the plane static equilibriums being shaped. Constraint-based gr ...

Hydrological, Anthropogenic and Ecological Processes in Cholera Dynamics

Lorenzo Righetto

The present Thesis deals with understanding, measuring and modelling epidemic cholera. The relevance of the endeavour stems from the fact that mathematical epidemiology, properly guided by model-guided field validation, is a reliable and powerful tool to m ...

Decomposition of Geometric Set Systems and Graphs

We study two decomposition problems in combinatorial geometry. The first part of the thesis deals with the decomposition of multiple coverings of the plane. We say that a planar set is cover-decomposable if there is a constant m such that any m-fold coveri ...

IFS-Modeling for Feasible Freeform Timber Constructions

Yves Weinand, Ivo Stotz, Gilles Gouaty

Within the last years, architectural design has shown great interest in the design of new and complex geometries, commonly known as 'free-form' architecture. The lack of constructive feasibility of the designed architectural objects led us to consider disc ...

Iterative surface design for constructions based on timber panels

Yves Weinand, Ivo Stotz, Gilles Gouaty

The aim of our research is to develop a powerful tool for the generation and the fabrication of free-form architecture. Within the last years, architectural design has shown great interest in the design of new and complex geometries, commonly known as free ...

Characterization and model of ferroelectrics based on experimental Preisach density

Paul Muralt

In this article an experimental method of characterization and modeling of ferroelectric materials is presented. The reversible and irreversible contributions of polarization are separated. The measurements of these effects are performed simultaneously giv ...
