Ranking systems such as those in product review sites and recommender systems usually use ratings to rank favorite items based on both their quality and popularity. Since higher ranked items are more likely selected and yield more revenues for their owners ...
Spatial mobility has often been considered a detrimental factor for families for various reasons, stemming from increasing stress, unpredictability of daily life, increasing gender inequalities, and decreasing investment in parenting and partnerships due t ...
This talk starts by defining what is Quality of Experience. It then provides an overview of state of the art in Quality of Experience in multimedia systems. It will finally conclude by presenting challenges and trends that need to be further addressed. ...
We consider schemes for obtaining truthful reports on a common but hidden signal from large groups of rational, self-interested agents. One example are online feedback mechanisms, where users provide observations about the quality of a product or service s ...
Trust management is essential to fostering cooperation and high quality service provisioning in several peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. Among those applications are customer-to-customer (C2C) trading sites and markets of services implemented on top of cen ...
Accurate estimation of quality of online services is both an important and difficult problem, since a service has many interdependent quality attributes influenced by several contextual factors. It is even more challenging as quality ratings come from sour ...
Gaining time, resolution and sensitivity at the same time: covariance processing of two-dimensional NMR spectra of microcrystalline proteins improves spectral quality over conventional Fourier transformation despite a significant reduction of the experimen ...
Approximately 25 percent of the budget for the maintenance and renewal of railway tracks –in Switzerland more than a billion Swiss Francs– is used for the switches (points) and crossings (S&C). While in the mean time the budget expenditure for the maintena ...
In this article, we report on the mass production of carbon nanotubes using a continuous production system based on a rotary tube furnace. At first, we have optimized the composition of the metallic nanoparticles. Bimetallic Fe2Ni and Fe2Co alloys exhibit ...

We consider images probed through incomplete and noisy Fourier coverages, both in the context of radio interferometry (RI) and of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We show that the quality of signal reconstruction can be significantly enhanced by the introd ...
