Backscattered electron imaging of cementitious microstructures: Understanding and quantification

During the last 20 years, backscattered electron imaging of polished surfaces has become well established as a method for the study of cement and concrete microstructures. The technique has many advantages, including the visualisation of representative cro ...

Impact of correlation and coupling on the capacity of MIMO systems

Emre Telatar, Volker Pauli

In this work, we consider the multiple antenna systems in which a large number of antennas occupy a given physical volume, and investigate the behavior of the capacity when increasing the number of antennas. In this regime the assumptions of the standard m ...

On the mechanical behaviour of AA 7075-T6 during cyclic loading

Roland Logé

The mechanical behavior of an aluminum alloy during uniaxial cyclic loading is examined using finite element simulations of aggregates with individually resolved crystals. The aggregates consist of face centered cubic (FCC) crystals with initial orientatio ...

What Good are Probabilistic Specifications and What Probabilistic Specifications are Good?

Patrick Eugster

The number of probabilistic approaches to ``classic'' distributed systems problems such as reliable broadcast, consensus, or leader election, has further increased recently. Probabilistic algorithms, possibly starting from probabilistic system models, have ...

Face Class Modeling in Eigenfaces Space

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Vlad Popovici

We present a method for face class modeling in the eigenfaces space using a large-margin classifier like SVM. Another issue addressed is how to select the number of eigenfaces to achieve a good classification rate. As the experimental evidence show, genera ...

Self Organized Terminode Routing

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ljubica Blazevic

We consider the problem of routing in a wide area mobile ad-hoc network called Terminode Network. Routing in this network is designed with the following objectives. First, it should scale well in terms of the number of nodes and geographical coverage ...

Structural materials for fusion reactors

Philippe Spätig, Nadine Baluc

In order to preserve the conditions for an environmentally safe machine, at present the selection of materials fur the structural components of fusion reactors is made not only on the basis of adequate mechanical properties, behaviour under irradiation, an ...

Enhancing OCL for Specifying Pre- and Postconditions

Shane Sendall

This paper proposes a number of enhancements to UML's Object Constraint Language to improve its usability for specifying operations by pre- and postconditions. In particular, we propose notational shortcuts and semantic modifications to OCL so that it can ...

A computer-based method to quantify the classic pattern of choroidal neovascularization in order to monitor photodynamic therapy

Hubert van den Bergh

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new treatment modality which relies on a nonthermal light exposure of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) which has accumulated a photosensitizer, to produce a photochemical thrombosis. The aim of the present study was to dev ...

The use of space discretization for autonomous virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann

A motion planning algorithm for automatic path computation for an autonomous virtual human in an environment of obstacles is presented. The environment is discretized and an optimum path in terms of number of cells is computed using A* search technique ...
