We present an approach to multi‐stage international portfolio optimization based on the imposition of a linear structure on the recourse decisions. Multiperiod decision problems are traditionally formulated as stochastic programs. Scenario tree based solut ...
Multiple types of measures have been developed to measure the similarity between two spike trains. These were extensively used to classify neuron responses according to stimuli and to validate mathematical models that predict the spike times. Here we analy ...
In this paper, we investigate the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) of the multiple-antenna (MIMO) static half-duplex relay channel. A general expression is derived for the DMT upper bound, which can be achieved by a compress-and-forward protocol at th ...

We improve and simplify the minimization method for solitary waves in two cases: firstly, when the surface tension is weak (that is, the Bond number is < 1/3) and the depth is finite, and secondly, when the depth is infinite. In a previous work on the firs ...
Basic principles of living with natural risks are established according to the experience of each country in facing this problem. The strategies adopted for evaluating rockfall hazards and for reducing the potential risk they represent may therefore lead t ...
Given only the URL of a web page, can we identify its topic? This is the question that we examine in this paper. Usually, web pages are classified using their content, but a URL-only classifier is preferable, (i) when speed is crucial, (ii) to enable conte ...
Conscious and unconscious processing are two of the most hot topics in neuroscience. In unconscious processing research, usually a direct measure is used to show that a target is not consciously perceived. An indirect measure is used to show that still the ...
This chapter introduces a discriminative method for detecting and spotting keywords in spoken utterances. Given a word represented as a sequence of phonemes and a spoken utterance, the keyword spotter predicts the best time span of the phoneme sequence in ...
This paper provides empirical evidence on the theoretical literature on voluntary agreements. The case study on fuel efficiency standards for passenger cars in Switzerland investigates the motivation for signing as well as the performance of the agreement. ...
Measures of skin elasticity, immediate retraction and distention as well as pigmentation and erythema will be conducted on various anatomical sites to compile a profile of skin properties. ...
