Metropolis-Hastings sampling of alternatives for route choice models

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd

Sampling of alternatives has been shown to be an operational technique for the estimation of route choice models. In order to apply it, the sampling protocol generating paths must be such that the sampling probability is known, in order to correct for the ...

Physical and microstructural aspects of sulfate attack on ordinary and limestone blended Portland cements

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach

The consequences of external sulfate attack were investigated by traditional test methods, i.e. length and mass change, as well as by a newly developed, surface sensitive ultrasonic method, using Leaky Rayleigh waves (1 MHz). The macroscopic changes are di ...

A novel estimator for mutual information is proposed. The estimator is useful for the (asymmetric) scenario where only a few samples for one random variable are available, but for each sample, the conditional distribution of the other random variable can b ...

Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM): Fast and robust 3D measurements with interferometric resolution for industrial inspection

Christian Depeursinge, Etienne Cuche, Nicolas Aspert, Pierre Marquet, Jonas Kühn, Stéphane Bourquin

The use of numerical procedure at a level never reach so far in optical imaging enables DHM to overcome two cumbersome alignment procedures of interferometric microscopes: (1) fine focus of the sample, and (2) sample tilt adjustment. In addition the techno ...

We report on solar-blind metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) detectors fabricated on stacks of (AI,Ga)N layers with different Al mole fraction. These structures were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on sapphire substrates to allow backside illumination and a lo ...

Backscattered electron imaging of cementitious microstructures: Understanding and quantification

Karen Scrivener

During the last 20 years, backscattered electron imaging of polished surfaces has become well established as a method for the study of cement and concrete microstructures. The technique has many advantages, including the visualisation of representative cro ...

Sequential Monte Carlo Video Text Segmentation

Jean-Marc Odobez, Datong Chen

This paper presents a probabilistic algorithm for segmenting text embedded in video based on Monte Carlo sampling. The algorithm approximates the posterior of segmentation thresholds of video text by a set of weighted samples, referred to as particles. The ...

Sample pretreatment on microfabricated devices

Nico de Rooij

The integration of sample pretreatment into microfluidic devices represents one of the remaining hurdles towards achieving true miniaturized total analysis systems (μTAS). The challenge is made more complex by the enormous variation in samples to be analyz ...

Development and characterisation of injectable calcium phosphate cements for use in vertebroplasty

The global objective of this thesis was to understand how the starting components of brushite cements influence the cement properties relevant for its use in vertebroplasty. Therefore, this work focussed on the following cement properties : mechanical stre ...

Characterization of phenanthrenequinone-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) for holographic memory

Demetri Psaltis

The holographic recording characteristics of phenanthrenequinone- (PQ-) doped poly(methyl methacrylate) are investigated. The exposure sensitivity is characterized for single-hologram recording, and the il M/# is measured for samples as thick as 3 mm. Opti ...
