We consider cyber-physical systems (CPSs) comprising a central controller that might be replicated for high-reliability, and one or more process agents. The controller receives measurements from process agents, causing it to compute and issue setpoints tha ...
Wear is the inevitable damage process of surfaces during sliding contact. According to the well-known Archard’s wear law, the wear volume scales with the real contact area and as a result is proportional to the load. Decades of wear experiments, however, s ...
The objective of this project is to develop a low-cost and flexible solution for mapping the nearshore bathymetry using a small quadcopter that hovers above the surf zone. ...
This work focuses on heat fluxes and hydrodynamic of Ward Hunt Lake, Canada's most northern lake, as well as its response to climate variations. The project aims to implement a heat budget model, in order to improve our understanding of underlying mechanis ...
How do students learn in MOOCs? This project aims at answering this question by analyzing the activities of thousands of students registered on EPFL Scalaa MOOC hosted by Coursera. With the rapid growth of MOOCs, Education Science has entered the Big Data ...
We analyze dynamic trading by an activist investor who can expend costly effort to affect firm value. We obtain the equilibrium in closed form for a general activism technology, including both binary and continuous outcomes. Variation in parameters can pro ...
The linear properties of the geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) in tokamaks are investigated by means of the comparison of analytical theory and gyrokinetic numerical simulations. The dependence on the value of the safety factor, finite-orbit-width of the ions ...
The invention relates to a vehicle which includes at least four wheels and a base. Said wheels are attached in pairs at the base via connections and form a bogie consisting of a pair of wheels. Said bogies are rotatably hinged onto the base such that the p ...
Collinear regulation of Hox genes in space and time has been an outstanding question ever since the initial work of Ed Lewis in 1978. Here we discuss recent advances in our understanding of this phenomenon in relation to novel concepts associated with larg ...
As part of a research project aiming to explore the notion of ‘smart school’ (especially for STEM education) in Estonia, we are developing classrooms and schools that incorporate data gathering not only from digital traces, but also physical ones (through ...
