We investigate the superfluid-insulator quantum phase transition in a disordered one-dimensional Bose gas in the mean-field limit by studying the probability distribution of the density. The superfluid phase is characterized by a vanishing probability to h ...
We present Fuzzy Prophet, a probabilistic database tool for constructing, simulating and analyzing business scenarios with uncertain data. Fuzzy Prophet takes externally defined probability distribution (so called VG-Functions) and a declarative descriptio ...
The metabolism of a river basin is defined as the set of processes through which the basin maintains its structure and responds to its environment. Green (or biotic) metabolism is measured via transpiration and blue (or abiotic) metabolism through runoff. ...
In this paper we introduce the Incremental Temporally Weighted Principal Component Analysis (ITWPCA) algorithm, based on SVD update, and the Incremental Temporally Weighted Visual Tracking with Spatial Penalty (ITWVTSP) algorithm for robust visual tracking ...
It was found recently that processes of multidimensional tunneling are generally described at high energies by unstable semiclassical trajectories. We study two observational signatures related to the instability of trajectories. First, we find an addition ...
We present a method that is able to track several 3D objects simultaneously, robustly, and accurately in real time. While many applications need to consider more than one object in practice, the existing methods for single object tracking do not scale well ...

Based on results from a field survey campaign conducted in Switzerand, we show that occupants’ variations in clothing choices, which are relatively unconstrained, are best described by the daily mean outdoor temperature and that major clothing adjustments ...
It is known that thermal perception influences occupants’ adaptive actions in buildings which in turn influence their thermal satisfaction. During recent years there has thus been a growing interest in the development of models which predict occupants ther ...
Learning a category from few examples is a challenging task for vision algorithms, while psychological studies have shown that humans are able to generalise correctly even from a single instance (one-shot learning). The most accredited hypothesis is that h ...
Even under flow equilibrium conditions, river bed topography continuously evolves with time, producing trains of irregular bed forms. The idea has recently emerged that the variability in the bed form geometry results from some randomness in sediment flux. ...
