Decoupling of economic growth and environmental impacts in Germany

The paper highlights in which regard economic growth has been decoupled from environmental impacts in Germany. It is based on extensive desk research and six expert interviews. The answer to the question if Germany can serve as an example for successful an ...

An assessment of how well we account for intangibles

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

Estimates of intangible capital stock are of prime importance for accurate measurement of productivity growth. Aggregate intangible capital stock is usually estimated using the so-called Corrado-Hulten-Sichel (CHS) new growth accounting framework. Yet this ...

Children’s Peer Assessment and Self-disclosure in the Presence of an Educational Robot

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Shruti Chandra, Ana Paiva

Research in education has long established how children mutually influence and support each other's learning trajectories, eventually leading to the development and widespread use of learning methods based on peer activities. In order to explore children's ...

Capital goods, measured TFP and growth: The case of Spain

Luis Franjo Garcia

The effect of investing in equipment and/or structures on TFP and long run growth is investigated here. We argue that economies can grow in spite of stagnant TFP if the investment rate is inefficiently high. We study the case of Spain where real GDP per wo ...

Orchestrating Inquiry-Based Learning Spaces: an Analysis of Teacher Needs

Denis Gillet, Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana, Adrian Christian Holzer, Andrii Vozniuk

The European Go-Lab project offers Inquiry Learning Spaces (ILSs) as open educational resources to support Inquiry-based Learning (IBL). To successfully exploit ILSs and implement IBL, proper support for orchestration is needed. Researchers have highlighte ...

A self-consistent model for the saturation dynamics of the vortex shedding around the mean flow in the unstable cylinder wake

François Gallaire, Cristobal Manuel Arratia Martinez, Vladislav Mantic Lugo

The supercritical instability leading to the Benard-von Karman vortex street in a cylinder wake is a well known example of supercritical Hopf bifurcation: the steady solution becomes linearly unstable and saturates into a periodic limit cycle. Nonetheless, ...

Punching of flat slabs supported on rectangular columns

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Juan Sagaseta Albajar, Luca Tassinari

This paper investigates the structural behaviour of RC flat slabs supported on rectangular interior columns and the influence of the loading conditions (one or two-way bending) on their punching shear strength. The punching shear strength of slabs at recta ...

Towards an Online Lab Portal for Inquiry-based STEM Learning at School

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Adrian Christian Holzer, Andrii Vozniuk, Sten Govaerts

Nowadays, the knowledge economy is growing rapidly. To sustain future growth, more well educated people in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) are needed. In the Go-Lab project we aim to motivate and orient students from an early age on ...

Towards a Script-Aware Monitoring Process of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Scenarios

Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana

The increasing complexity of CSCL scenarios makes the classroom management highly demanding. Teachers invest considerable effort to design the learning scenario and to be aware of what happens during the enactment. We hypothesise that providing monitoring ...

Active Learning of Multi-Index Function Models

Volkan Cevher, Hemant Tyagi

We consider the problem of actively learning \textit{multi-index} functions of the form

f(x) = g(Ax)= \sum_{i=1}^k g_i(a_i^Tx)

from point evaluations of

f

. We assume that the function

f

is defined on an

\ell_2

-ball in

\Real^d

,

g

is twice contin ...
