Avalanche risks management as intangible cultural heritage

Florence Graezer Bideau, Chiara Maria Bortolotto

This paper tackles Avalanche Risks Management (ARM), nominated by Switzerland and Austria and inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2018. On the one hand, this nomination conventionally highlights how traditional em ...

Study of impurity ion transport using charge exchange spectroscopy on TCV

Filippo Bagnato

The study of impurity transport in fusion plasmas has gained interest over the years due to its implication with tokamak performances. In TCV (Tokamak à Configuration Variable), as in many other facilities, impurity ions can be studied through the CXRS (Ch ...

A Performative Threshold Between Teaching Research and Practice. Atlas Poliphilo as Scaffold

Dieter Dietz, Julien Lafontaine Carboni, Aurélie Dupuis, Darío Negueruela Del Castillo

Hunches allow us to navigate in a trans-scalar world. Without them, teachers, researchers and practitioners would be left aimless. Hunches relate to the embodied and synthetic nature of the knowledge we produce, but also to its unfolding. Instead of denyin ...

Virtual Vehicle-Based Cooperative Maneuver Planning for Connected Automated Vehicles at Single-Lane Roundabouts

Denis Gillet, Ezequiel González Debada

This paper presents a distributed maneuver planner for connected automated vehicles (CAVs) built upon the idea of CAVs being able to explicitly share their intentions by creating virtual vehicles (Us) on the targeted traffic stream. Specifically, this work ...

Entrainment of Voluntary Movement to Undetected Auditory Regularities

Olaf Blanke, Leila Cammoun, Aaron Schurger, Nathan Quentin Faivre

In physics “entrainment” refers to the synchronization of two coupled oscillators with similar fundamental frequencies. In behavioral science, entrainment refers to the tendency of humans to synchronize their movements with rhythmic stimuli. Here, we asked ...

Back to the Source: an Online Approach for Sensor Placement and Source Localization

Patrick Thiran, Laura Elisa Celis, Brunella Marta Spinelli

Source localization, the act of finding the originator of a disease or rumor in a network, has become an important problem in sociology and epidemiology. The localization is done using the infection state and time of infection of a few designated sensor no ...

Dynamic Safe Interruptibility for Decentralized Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Hadrien Hendrikx

In reinforcement learning, agents learn by performing actions and observing their outcomes. Sometimes, it is desirable for a human operator to \textit{interrupt} an agent in order to prevent dangerous situations from happening. Yet, as part of their learni ...

Cyber-attack on Packet-Based Time Synchronization Protocols: the Undetectable Delay Box

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Aswin Suresh, Sergio Barreto Andrade

We present a cyber-attack on packet-based time synchronization protocols (PBTSP) with high-accuracy requirements. The cyber-attack is undetectable from the PBTSP's perspective and exploits a vulnerability that is in the nature of all PBTSPs. It can be succ ...

Dissociating effect of upper limb non-use and overuse on space and body representations

Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri, Michela Bassolino

Accurate and updated representations of the space where the body acts, i.e. the peripersonal space (PPS), and the location and dimension of body parts (body representation, BR) are essential to perform actions. Because both PPS and BR are involved in motor ...

Synthesis of borasiloxane-based macrocycles by multicomponent condensation reactions in solution or in a ball mill

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Albert Ruggi, Mirela Pascu

Large macrocycles containing imine and borasiloxane links are obtained in polycondensation reactions of 4-formylbenzeneboronic acid, t-Bu2Si(OH)2, and diamines. The multicomponent reactions can be performed in solution or – advantageously – by mechanochemi ...
