The undeniable convenience of face-recognition (FR) based biometrics has made it an attractive tool for access control in various applications, from immigration-control to remote banking. Widespread adopti
on of face biometrics, however, depends on the how ...
We investigate how spectral properties of a measure-preserving system (X, B, mu, T) are reflected in the multiple ergodic averages arising from that system. For certain sequences a :N -> N, we provide natural conditions on the spectrum sigma (T) such that, ...
We present a new Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) system for cooperative environmental sensing. The AUV was specifically developed as a platform for distributed, cooperative sensing in lakes and coastal areas. In this paper we describe the prerequisite ...
The potential for solar energy production on existing buildings in Switzerland is estimated to be 40% of annual Swiss electricity consumption. At present, solar energy accounts for 3% of all electricity produced. In order to establish motivators for Swiss ...

Expectations for high performance green buildings have been evolving over the last four decades. Green certification systems define, recognize, and demonstrate leadership in addressing building problems related to people and the environment. These systems ...
In this work, the uniaxial creep in compression during the first days of hydration is studied experimentally on cement pastes with w/c of 0.50. to order to assess the effect of the evolving microstructure on creep, the so-called equivalent systems are empl ...
In a modern data center (DC), a large majority of costs arise from energy consumption. The most popular technique used to mitigate this issue is virtualization and more precisely virtual machine (VM) consolidation. Although consolidation may increase serve ...
While the performance of face recognition systems has improved significantly in the last decade, they are proved to be highly vulnerable to presentation attacks (spoofing). Most of the research in the field of face presentation attack detection (PAD), was ...
Our ability to grab, hold, and manipulate objects involves our dexterous hands, our sense of touch, and feedback from our eyes and muscles that allows us to maintain a controlled grip. Billard and Kragic review the progress made in robotics to emulate thes ...
This paper proposes a set of distributed real-time optimisation schemes for the steady-state optimisation of parametrically and structurally uncertain systems that are composed of multiple interconnected subsystems. These schemes are derived in the framewo ...
