Blind prediction tests as a benchmark to improve the seismic response of fibre models

João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

The seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete framed structures involves a number of nonlinear material and geometrical phenomena that are impossible to model exhaustively in a single model. Furthermore, past studies showed that the most correct modelling o ...

Thin Film Metal Nanocluster Light-Emitting Devices

Björn Niesen

Light-emitting devices that utilize thin films of metal nanoclusters as quantum emitters are presented. Implementing Ag as well as Au nanoclusters, the versatility of the approach is demonstrated, and it is shown that the electroluminescence measured from ...

The Swaption Cube

We infer conditional swap rate moments model independently from swaption cubes. Conditional volatility and skewness exhibit systematic variation across swap maturities and option expiries (conditional kurtosis less so), with conditional skewness sometimes ...

Molecular and cell-based therapies for muscle degenerations: a road under construction

Marco Cassano, Stefania Crippa

Despite the advances achieved in understanding the molecular biology of muscle cells in the past decades, there is still need for effective treatments of muscular degeneration caused by muscular dystrophies and for counteracting the muscle wasting caused b ...

Simplified wide-column model for the blind prediction shake table test of a U-shaped wall building

João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures with tri-dimensional asymmetries tend to exhibit torsional effects that are of great concern in the field of earthquake engineering, in particular at large ductility levels where they become more relevant [MAN09]. In nuc ...

Modeling options for demand side participation of thermostatically controlled loads

Maryam Kamgarpour, John Lygeros

Residential thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) have potential for participation in electricity markets. This is because we can control a large group of these loads to achieve aggregate system behavior such as providing frequency reserves while ensuri ...

CEO contract design: How do strong principals do it?

Rüdiger Fahlenbrach

We study changes in chief executive officer (CEO) contracts when firms transition from public ownership with dispersed owners to private ownership with strong principals in the form of private equity sponsors. The most significant changes are that a signif ...

Final-Focus Optics for the LHeC Electron Beam Line

José Luis Abelleira Fernández, Hector Garcia, Frank Zimmermann

One of the options considered for the ECFA-CERNNuPECC design study for a Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) based on the LHC is adding a recirculating energy-recovery linac tangential to the LHC. First designs of the electron Final Focus System have sho ...

The Weakest Failure Detectors To Solve Quittable Consensus And Nonblocking Atomic Commit

Rachid Guerraoui

We define quittable consensus, a natural variation of the consensus problem, where processes have the option to agree on "quit" if failures occur, and we relate this problem to the well-known problem of nonblocking atomic commit. We then determine the weak ...
