Reducing uncertainties in response predictions of earthquake-damaged masonry buildings using data from image-based inspection
Ian Smith, Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Mathias Christian Haindl Carvallo
Image information about the state of a building after an earthquake, which can be collected without endangering the post-earthquake reconnaissance activities, can be used to reduce uncertainties in response predictions for future seismic events. This paper ...
Springer2024Sparse autoregressive neural networks for classical spin systems
Giuseppe Carleo, Dian Wu, Indaco Biazzo
Efficient sampling and approximation of Boltzmann distributions involving large sets of binary variables, or spins, are pivotal in diverse scientific fields even beyond physics. Recent advances in generative neural networks have significantly impacted this ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Performance and accuracy of cross‐section tracking methods for hydromorphological habitat assessment in wadable rivers with sparse canopy conditions
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Robin Schroff
This article investigates the performance and accuracy of continuous Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position tracking for hydromorphological surveys, based on a comprehensive river restoration monitoring campaign. The a ...
2024Soft Robotics: A Route to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusivity in Robotics
Robotics is entering our daily lives. The discipline is increasingly crucial in fields such as agriculture, medicine, and rescue operations, impacting our food, health, and planet. At the same time, it is becoming evident that robotic research must embrace ...
Mary Ann Liebert, Inc2024Querying the Digital Archive of Science: Distant Reading, Semantic Modelling and Representation of Knowledge
The archive of science is a place where scientific practices are sedimented in the form of drafts, protocols of rejected hypotheses and failed experiments, obsolete instruments, outdated visualizations and other residues. Today, just as science goes more a ...
EPFL2024Implementing water recirculation in a novel portable plasma-activated water reactor enhances antimicrobial effect against Escherichia coli
Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Fabio Avino, Rita Agus, Brayden Graham Myers, Lorenzo Ibba, Leonardo Zampieri
The need for sustainable and reliable decontamination methods is driven by concerns regarding antibiotic resistance, as well as environmental and cost -efficiency challenges associated with traditional methods. Plasmaactivated water (PAW) holds significant ...
Elsevier Science Sa2024Thermal transport of glasses via machine learning driven simulations
Accessing the thermal transport properties of glasses is a major issue for the design of production strategies of glass industry, as well as for the plethora of applications and devices where glasses are employed. From the computational standpoint, the che ...
Lausanne2024Quantum radio astronomy: Data encodings and quantum image processing
Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Emma Elizabeth Tolley, Stefano Corda
We explore applications of quantum computing for radio interferometry and astronomy using recent developments in quantum image processing. We evaluate the suitability of different quantum image representations using a toy quantum computing image reconstruc ...
Elsevier2024Ion Adsorption Enhances Apparent Nonelectrostatic Attraction between Monomers in Polyelectrolyte Brushes
Harm-Anton Klok, Xingyu Xu, Jing Yu
Polyelectrolyte brushes are responsive to salt in the environment, and this has found broad applications in antifouling, biolubrication, and drug delivery. Salt primarily influences the conformation of the polyelectrolytes through ion adsorption. While ion ...
