Quantitative Languages

Quantitative generalizations of classical languages, which assign to each word a real number instead of a boolean value, have applications in modeling resource-constrained computation. We use quantitative automata (finite automata with transition weights) ...

Nanomechanical properties of biopolymers

Camilo Guzman

This thesis presents, develops and applies new methodologies that can quantitatively probe the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of biomaterials at the nanoscale. Elastic and viscous properties are important characteristics of materials, such as many ...

Reduced basis method for linear elasticity problems with many parameters

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza

he reduced basis (RB) methods are proposed here for the solution of parametrized equations in linear elasticity problems. The fundamental idea underlying RB methods is to decouple the generation and projection stages (offline/online computational procedure ...

Influence of limestone on the hydration of Portland cements

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Emmanuel Gallucci

The influence of the presence of limestone on the hydration of Portland cement was investigated. Blending of Portland cement with limestone was found to influence the hydrate assemblage of the hydrated cement. Thermodynamic calculations as well as experime ...

Models for piezoelectric sensor-actuator systems

Robert Dunsch

The miniaturization trend in industry requires micro devices for handling and sensing in a micro environment. As the size of the handled objects decreases and their fragility increases, the demand for sensors with higher force sensitivity and resolution gr ...

Reliability of computational science

Fabio Nobile

Today's computers allow us to simulate large, complex physical problems. Many times the mathematical models describing such problems are based on a relatively small amount of available information such as experimental measurements. The question arises whet ...

Integration of Grid Cost Model into ISS/VIOLA Meta-scheduler Environment

Vincent Keller, Michela Thiémard

The Broker with the cost function model of the ISS/VIOLA Meta-Scheduling System implementation is described in details. The Broker includes all the algorithmic steps needed to determine a well suited machine for an application component. This judicious cho ...

On the decoupling of heavy modes in Kaluza-Klein theories

In this paper we examine the 4-dimensional effective theory for the light Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes. Our main interest is in the interaction terms. We point out that the contribution of the heavy KK modes is generally needed in order to reproduce the correct ...

Raptor Codes on Binary Memoryless Symmetric Channels

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Seyed Omid Etesami

In this paper, we will investigate the performance of Raptor codes on arbitrary binary input memoryless symmetric channels (BIMSCs). In doing so, we generalize some of the results that were proved before for the erasure channel. We will generalize the stab ...

A Design Oriented Charge-based Current Model for Symmetric DG MOSFET and its Correlation with the EKV Formalism

Christian Enz, Jean-Michel Sallese, François Krummenacher, Ananda Sankar Roy

We propose a design oriented charge-based model for undoped DG MOSFETs under symmetrical operation that aims at giving a comprehensive understanding of the device from the design strategy. In particular, we introduce useful normalizations for current and c ...
