How roughness emerges on natural and engineered surfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei

Roughness, defined as unevenness of material surfaces, plays an important role in determining how engineering components or natural objects interact with other bodies and their environment. The emergence of fractal roughness on natural and engineered surfa ...

Development of a road bridge digital twin for simulating traffic loadings

The bridge over the Venoge, built in 1966 and extended in 1997, is a composite bridge located on the highway between Lausanne and Geneva. The aim of this thesis will be to develop a digital twin of this bridge, which consist of a digital representation as ...

Public Strategies for Artificial Intelligence: Which Value Drivers?

Marie-Valentine Renée Agnès Florin, Gianluigi Viscusi

We question the values that inform the artificial intelligence (AI) strategies developed by governments and institutions at the global level. In particular, we investigate the connection between governments? and institutions? fundamental values, second-ord ...

Timing-Driven Placement for FPGA Architectures with Dedicated Routing Paths

Paolo Ienne, Grace Zgheib, Stefan Nikolic

The idea of introducing dedicated, fast paths between certain FPGA elements in order to reduce delay is neither new nor particularly hard to come up with. What is less obvious, however, is how to put such paths to actual use. In this work, we propose an ef ...

Superplastic behavior of silica nanowires obtained by direct patterning of silsesquioxane-based precursors

Yusuf Leblebici, Mohammad Nasr Esfahani, Mustafa Yilmaz

Silica nanowires spanning 10 μm-deep trenches are fabricated from different types of silsesquioxane-based precursors by direct e-beam patterning on silicon followed by release through deep reactive ion etching. Nanowire aspect ratios as large as 150 are ac ...
