The lecture will consist in two parts. First, recent advances in discrete choice models will be presented and motivated. The estimation of these advanced models involves the maximization of a nonlinear, nonconcave loglikelihood function. The nonconcavity o ...
Introducing a microscope objective in an interferometric setup induces a phase curvature on the resulting wavefront. In digital holography, the compensation of this curvature is often done by introducing an identical curvature in the reference arm and the ...
The A* algorithm is a well-known heuristic best-first search method. Several performance-accelerated extensions of the exact A* approach are known. Interesting examples are approximate algorithms where the heuristic function used is inflated by a weight (o ...
This paper studies the problem of demand driven employee scheduling for direct-sales retail outlets. The demand for sales personnel during each half hour is predicted a week in advance based on previous recorded data and the problem of computing an optimal ...
A microfabrication process of a multifunctional probe is introduced for atomic force microscopy and various electrochemical measurements on biological samples in buffer solution. The silicon nitride probes have a spring constant lower than 0.1 N/m and a co ...
This paper contains a new asymptotic formula relating the mean curvature of a hypersurface at a given point and the volume of small balls centered at this point. ...
This study examines the personal, institutional and macroeconomic determinants of individual votes on 36 environmental protection proposals put to vote over twenty-one years in Switzerland. It applies a hierarchical model allowing for heterogeneous voter m ...
We propose a framework for 3D geometry processing that provides direct access to surface curvature to facilitate advanced shape editing, filtering, and synthesis algorithms. The central idea is to map a given surface to the curvature domain by evaluating i ...
We uncover the constitutive relation of graphene and probe the physics of its optical phonons by studying its Raman spectrum as a function of uniaxial strain. We find that the doubly degenerate E(2g) optical mode splits in two components: one polarized alo ...
Finding the optimal solution of a Multi-Attribute Decision Problem (MADP) is a key problem for electronic commerce systems. In this paper, we formally define the multi-attribute decision problem, and we report our survey of four different methods (soft-CSP ...
