Design of an Open-Loop Pile-Oscillation Program in the CROCUS Reactor

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Thomas Jean-François Ligonnet, Axel Guy Marie Laureau

As a follow-up to the CEA-EPFL PETALE experimental program on stainless steel nuclear data, the EPFL initiated an open-loop pile-oscillation experimental program in the CROCUS reactor: BLOOM. A reproduction of the critical experiments of PETALE, the progra ...

Robotically-induced auditory-verbal hallucinations: combining self-monitoring and strong perceptual priors

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Melissa Faggella, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Pavo Orepic

Background. Inducing hallucinations under controlled experimental conditions in nonhallucinating individuals represents a novel research avenue oriented toward understanding complex hallucinatory phenomena, avoiding confounds observed in patients. Audito ...

Performance of the Cable-in-Conduit Conductors for Super-X Test Facility

Kamil Sedlák

Following the conceptual design, the engineering design of the dc magnet and cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) for the Super-X test facility has been done in 2021. Totally three types of conductors with different structures were designed for the three pair ...

Reinforcement learning approach to control an inverted pendulum: A general framework for educational purposes

Jesus Sanchez Rodriguez

Machine learning is often cited as a new paradigm in control theory, but is also often viewed as empirical and less intuitive for students than classical model-based methods. This is particularly the case for reinforcement learning, an approach that does n ...

Outlier-free spline spaces for isogeometric discretizations of biharmonic and polyharmonic eigenvalue problems

Espen Sande

We present outlier-free isogeometric Galerkin discretizations of eigenvalue problems related to the biharmonic and the polyharmonic operator in the univariate setting. These are Galerkin discretizations in certain spline subspaces that provide accurate app ...

A Unified Experiment Design Approach for Cyclic and Acyclic Causal Models

Negar Kiyavash, Ehsan Mokhtarian, Saber Salehkaleybar

We study experiment design for unique identification of the causal graph of a system where the graph may contain cycles. The presence of cycles in the structure introduces major challenges for experiment design as, unlike acyclic graphs, learning the skele ...

Hiding in Plain Sight: The Issue of Hidden Variables

Yimon Aye, Mahdi Assari

Here we discuss "hidden variables", which are typically introduced during an experiment as a consequence of the application of two independent variables together to create a stimulus. With increased sophistication in modern chemical biology tools and relat ...

Data-based model maintenance in the era of industry 4.0: A methodology

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Antoine Pélissier, Foivos Psarommatis Giannakopoulos

Despite the high number of investments for data-based models in the expansion of Industry 4.0, too little effort has been made to ensure the maintenance of those models. In a data-streaming environment, data-based models are subject to concept drifts. A co ...

Deep Learning Methods for Socially-Aware Human Trajectory Forecasting

Parth Ashit Kothari

The ability to forecast human motion, called ``human trajectory forecasting", is a critical requirement for mobility applications such as autonomous driving and robot navigation. Humans plan their path taking into account what might happen in the future. S ...

Understanding the mechanisms of non-thermal plasma treatments on seeds

Alexandra Waskow

The motivation driving plasma-seed treatment research is the renewed importance of sustainable, eco-friendly agriculture. There is a constant interest in finding alternatives to minimize resource use and environmental degradation, while ensuring healthy se ...
