In situ monitoring of femtosecond laser-induced modifications in dielectrics
Over the last decades, the progress made in the generation of laser pulses shorter than a picosecond (10^-12 s) has allowed us to reach extreme optical power intensities exceeding 10^15 W cm^-2. This tremendous power has triggered an abundance of original ...
EPFL2023Dense Multitask Learning to Reconfigure Comics
Sabine Süsstrunk, Mathieu Salzmann, Deblina Bhattacharjee
In this paper, we develop a MultiTask Learning (MTL) model to achieve dense predictions for comic panels to, in turn, facilitate the transfer of comics from one publication channel to another by assisting authors in the task of reconfiguring their narrativ ...
IEEE2023To Forgot Boris Hessen: Ghost of Externalism within Late Soviet History and Philosophy of Science
The reason why, unlike the West, Boris Hessen's achievements were virtually forgotten in the USSR even after his rehabilitation (1956), was that in the Soviet context his ideas concerning Isaac Newton lost the polemical sting they possessed when first form ...
2022« Bolo’vedere »
En 1961, le parking de Montbenon remplace les cultures maraîchères de Lausanne qui sont délocalisées en périphérie de la ville. Cet aménagement brutal transforme l’esplanade de Montbenon en un vaste belvédère. « Bolo’vedere », dans la ligne directe des mo ...
2021Development of free-boundary equilibrium and transport solvers for simulation and real-time interpretation of tokamak experiments
To exploit fusion as a source of energy, a hot and dense confined plasma is needed. This is
achieved in tokamaks by actively controlling the plasma state meaning shape, position and
internal kinetic profiles. This thesis addresses two topics: the developme ...
EPFL2021Model order reduction of flow based on a modular geometrical approximation of blood vessels
Simone Deparis, Luca Pegolotti
We are interested in a reduced order method for the efficient simulation of blood flow in arteries. The blood dynamics is modeled by means of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. Our algorithm is based on an approximated domain-decomposition of the ...
2021“Transplanting the human mind into inanimate matter”: Leibniz’s Reckoning Machine Seen from a Media Perspective
Simon François Dumas Primbault
Between 1672 and 1694, the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) attempted to design a reckoning machine that would be able to perform the four basic arithmetic operations on multiple-digit numbers. Working closely with the French cloc ...
2020All-Dielectric Programmable Huygens' Metasurfaces
Hatice Altug, Andreas Tittl, Aleksandrs Leitis
Low-loss nanostructured dielectric metasurfaces have emerged as a breakthrough platform for ultrathin optics and cutting-edge photonic applications, including beam shaping, focusing, and holography. However, the static nature of their constituent materials ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2020Meta-concrete by means of discrete element method
The basis of the discrete element method is to model masses interacting with each other through different forces and constraints. On each mass, the second law of Newton is applied to obtain a differential equation. From this equation and boundary condition ...
2019Towards the renormalization group flow of Horava gravity in 3+1 dimensions
Sergey Sibiryakov, Mario Herrero Valea
We compute the renormalization group running of the Newton constant and the parameter lambda in (3 + 1)-dimensional projectable Horava gravity. We use the background-field method, expanding around configurations with flat spatial metric, but nonvanishing s ...
