The ordering of communication channels was first introduced by Shannon. In this paper, we aim to find characterizations of two orderings: input-degradedness and the Shannon ordering. A channel W is said to be input-degraded from another channel W' if W can ...
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is an extensive research field in image processing and pattern recognition. Traditional character recognition methods cannot distinguish a character or a word from a scanned image. This paper proposes a system, which is ...
Soft robotic systems are composed of active and passively deformable structures which are intrinsically compliant, flexible, and elastic. Although these features offer benefits of adaptability, robustness, and safety, controlling these types of robots is a ...
A channel W is said to be input-degraded from another channel W' if W can be simulated from W' by randomization at the input. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a channel to be input-degraded from another one. We show that any decoder that ...
Characterize the activity of granula and flocs in the 4 reactors with different inputs and their physical characteristics in order to deduce the contribution of each on the overall behaviour of the reactors. ...
Programmable multistable mechanisms exhibit stability behavior whereby the stiffness and the number of stable states can be controlled via programming inputs. In this paper, we report the zero stiffness behavior of a 2-degree of programming (DOP) T-combine ...

We present a formalism, algorithms and tools to synthesise reactive systems that behave efficiently, i.e., which achieve an optimal trade-off between a given cost and reward model. Synthesis aims to automatically generate a program from a specification. Mo ...

Keyword-based image color re-rendering is a convenient way to enhance the color of images. Most methods only focus on the color characteristics of the image while ignoring the semantic meaning of different regions. We propose to incorporate semantic inform ...
Demand information is an input for a great deal of operations research models. Assumed as given in many problem instances addressed in the literature, demand data are difficult to generate. In this tutorial, we provide an introduction to disaggregate deman ...
In the framework of EUROfusion Consortium the Work Package Heating and Current Drive addresses the engineering design and R&D for the electron cyclotron, ion cyclotron and neutral beam systems. This paper reports the activities performed in 2014, focusing ...
