Assessing the universality of Habitat Suitability Indexes (HSI) for brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) In relation to ecohydraulic variables

Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Giulio Calvani, Francesca Padoan

The Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) is a quantitative index that determines the capacity of a given area to meet habitat requirements for a specific species with respect to given variables. The degree of universality of this index is not well understood ye ...

Mutual information in changing environments: Nonlinear interactions, out-of-equilibrium systems, and continuously varying diffusivities

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Biochemistry, ecology, and neuroscience are examples of prominent fields aiming at describing interacting systems that exhibit nontrivial couplings to complex, ever-changing environments. We have recently shown that linear interactions and a switching envi ...

Relatively robust decisions

Thomas Alois Weber

It is natural for humans to judge the outcome of a decision under uncertainty as a percentage of an ex-post optimal performance. We propose a robust decision-making framework based on a relative performance index. It is shown that if the decision maker's p ...

Empirical Evidence on the Effectiveness of Shareholder Democracy

Maxime Thibault B Couvert

This thesis is composed of two essays that study the effectiveness of shareholder democracy. In the first essay, I analyze the firm value implications of shareholder-initiated proposals. I show that managerial resistance precludes half of shareholder-init ...

Nonlinear Transient Stability Analysis of Phased-Locked Loop Based Grid-Following Voltage Source Converters Using Lyapunov’s Direct Method

Alireza Karimi, Behrooz Bahrani

In this paper, using Lyapunov’s stability theorem, the transient stability conditions for a grid-following Voltage Source Converter (VSC) are found. These conditions take into account both the grid specifications and the VSC’s dynamics. The derived conditi ...

A method for fast automated assessment of the magnetic resonance parkinsonism index

Bénédicte Marie Maréchal

In patients with parkinsonian syndromes, and particularly during the early stages of the clinical disease, differentiating between idiopathic Parkinson's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy is challenging. Imaging plays an important role in early di ...

The index of singular zeros of harmonic mappings of anti-analytic degree one

Robert Gerhard Jérôme Luce

We study harmonic mappings of the form , where h is an analytic function. In particular, we are interested in the index (a generalized multiplicity) of the zeros of such functions. Outside the critical set of f, where the Jacobian of f is non-vanishing, it ...

Index-Driven Digitization and Indexation of Historical Archives

Maud Ehrmann, Giovanni Colavizza

The promise of digitization of historical archives lies in their indexation at the level of contents. Unfortunately, this kind of indexation does not scale, if done manually. In this article we present a method to bootstrap the deployment of a content-base ...

Artificial floods in residual flow reaches – How do they affect hydraulic habitats

Severin Stähly

Floodplains in hydropower-controlled rivers, where a constant residual flow discharge is imposed, often lack sediment supply and periodic inundation due to the absence of natural flood events. In this study we compare two residual flow systems. The first r ...

Efficient Bundled Spatial Range Queries

Anastasia Ailamaki, Darius Sidlauskas, Thomas Heinis, Farhan Tauheed, Eleni Tzirita Zacharatou

Efficiently querying multiple spatial data sets is a growing challenge for scientists. Astronomers query data sets that contain different types of stars (e.g., dwarfs, giants, stragglers) while neuroscientists query different data sets that model different ...
