Influence of weak-layer heterogeneity on snow slab avalanche release: application to the evaluation of avalanche release depths

The evaluation of avalanche release depths constitutes a great challenge for risk assessment in mountainous areas. This study focuses on slab avalanches, which generally result from the rupture of a weak layer underlying a cohesive slab. We use the finite- ...

Machine Vision-Based Analysis of Gaze and Visual Context

Basilio Noris

Visual behavior, and specifically gaze directed at objects and people, is a fundamental cue for understanding how children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience and respond to social interaction. Indeed atypical behaviors such as averting the gaze ...

Comparative study of ecohydrological streamflow probability distributions

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Serena Ceola, Gianluca Botter

We run a comparative study of ecohydrological models of streamflow probability distributions (pdfs), p(Q), derived by Botter et al. (2007a, 2009), against field data gathered in different hydrological contexts. Streamflows measured in several catchments ac ...

Towards Optimally Efficient Field Estimation with Threshold-Based Pruning in Real Robotic Sensor Networks

Alcherio Martinoli, Amanda Stella Markowska Prorok, Christopher Cianci

The efficiency of distributed sensor networks depends on an optimal trade-off between the usage of resources and data quality. The work in this paper addresses the problem of optimizing this trade-off in a self-configured distributed robotic sensor network ...

Exploiting the anisotropy of anomalous scattering boosts the phasing power of SAD and MAD experiments

The X-ray polarization anisotropy of anomalous scattering in crystals of brominated nucleic acids and selenated proteins is shown to have signiﬁcant effects on the diffraction data collected at an absorption edge. For conventionally collected single- or mu ...

Data mining methodologies for supporting engineers during system identification

Sandro Saitta

Data alone are worth almost nothing. While data collection is increasing exponentially worldwide, a clear distinction between retrieving data and obtaining knowledge has to be made. Data are retrieved while measuring phenomena or gathering facts. Knowledge ...

Hierarchy of models for meandering rivers and related morphodynamic processes

Paolo Perona

We review the importance of the physical mechanisms involved in river meandering by comparing some existing linear models and extensions thereof. Such models are hierarchically derived from a common and general mathematical framework and then analyzed with ...

Joint acoustic-video fingerprinting of vehicles, part II

Volkan Cevher

In this second paper, we first show how to estimate the wheelbase length of a vehicle using line metrology in video. We then address the vehicle fingerprinting problem using vehicle silhouettes and color invariants. We combine the acoustic metrology and cl ...
