Quantitative characterization of surface topography using spectral analysis

Till Junge

Roughness determines many functional properties of surfaces, such as adhesion, friction, and (thermal and electrical) contact conductance. Recent analytical models and simulations enable quantitative prediction of these properties from knowledge of the pow ...

Problems and Procedures to Make Wordnet Data (Retro)Fit for a Multilingual Dictionary

Martin Benjamin

The data compiled through many Wordnet projects can be a rich source of seed information for a multilingual dictionary. However, the original Princeton WordNet was not intended as a dictionary per se, and spawning other languages from it introduces inheren ...

An Evaluation of Diversification Techniques

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên

Diversification is a method of improving user satisfaction by increasing the variety of information shown to user. Due to the lack of a precise definition of information variety, many diversification techniques have been proposed. These techniques, however ...

Curve Graphs On Surfaces Of Infinite Type

Hugo Parlier, Ariadna Fossas Tenas

We define and study analogs of curve graphs for infinite type surfaces. Our definitions use the geometry of a fixed surface and vertices of our graphs are infinite multicurves which are bounded in both a geometric and a topological sense. We show that the ...

Transparency Instead of Neutrality

Adrian Perrig, Christos Pappas

The technical community has so far defined network neutrality in terms of specific mechanisms, e.g., policing or shaping. We argue that these definitions are problematic: according to them, a non-neutral network may be preferable (for all users) to a neutr ...

Online Authenticated-Encryption and its Nonce-Reuse Misuse-Resistance

Damian Vizár, Reza Reyhanitabar

A definition of online authenticated-encryption (OAE), call it OAE1, was given by Fleischmann, Forler, and Lucks (2012). It has become a popular definitional target because, despite allowing encryption to be online, security is supposed to be maintained ev ...

The reality of transdisciplinarity: a framework-based self-reflection from science and practice leaders

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Thorsten Schilling

This paper provided results of a framework-based self-reflection process conducted by the science and the practice leaders of two transdisciplinary projects realized in co-leadership from 2011 until 2014. It analyzes from the perspectives of the science an ...

Bivariate Matrix Functions

Daniel Kressner

A definition of bivariate matrix functions is introduced and some theoretical as well as algorithmic aspects are analyzed. It is shown that our framework naturally extends the usual notion of (univariate) matrix functions and allows to unify existing resul ...

Electronic Transport in Graphene with Aggregated Hydrogen Adatoms

Oleg Yazyev, Gabriel Albert Autes, Fernando Gargiulo, Naunidh Singh Virk

Hydrogen adatoms and other species covalently bound to graphene act as resonant scattering centers affecting the electronic transport properties and inducing Anderson localization. We show that attractive interactions between adatoms on graphene and their ...
