The Distinct Element Method (DEM) is a popular tool to perform granular media simulations. The two key elements this requires are an adequate model for inter-particulate contact forces and an efficient contact detection method. Originally, this method was ...
Definitions are introduced to classify the regions of interest around PLC networks. An improvement to an existing technique for the reduction of emissions from PLC networks is proposed. Using numerical simulations, the technique is shown to reduce any one ...
A finite-temp. linear tetrahedron method for electronic structure calcns. of periodic systems is developed. When compared to widely used simple temp. broadening, the no. of k points necessary for accurate integration at finite temps. is reduced. The utilit ...
This paper describes the use of environmental sensor data as a basis for the design of architectural ornament that takes on a distinctive appearance in response to the atmospheric conditions where it is located. Among the goals of the project were the iden ...
We propose a new learning method which exploits temporal consistency to successfully learn a complex appearance model from a sparsely labeled training video. Our approach consists in iteratively improving an appearance based model built with a Boosting pro ...

We describe a simple and intuitive policy gradient method for improving parametrized quadrocopter multi-flips by combining iterative experiments with information from a first-principles model. We start by formulating an N-flip maneuver as a five-step primi ...
