Data-driven IQC-Based Robust Control Design for Hybrid Micro-disturbance Isolation Platform

Alireza Karimi, Vaibhav Gupta, Elias Sebastian Klauser

A novel approach for robust controller synthesis, which models uncertainty as an elliptical set, is proposed in the paper. Given a set of frequency response functions of linear time-invariant (LTI) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the approac ...

Stable parameterization of continuous and piecewise-linear functions

Michaël Unser, Alexis Marie Frederic Goujon, Joaquim Gonçalves Garcia Barreto Campos

Rectified-linear-unit (ReLU) neural networks, which play a prominent role in deep learning, generate continuous and piecewise-linear (CPWL) functions. While they provide a powerful parametric representation, the mapping between the parameter and function s ...

Linear and nonlinear excitation of TAE modes by external electromagnetic perturbations using ORB5

Laurent Villard, Emmanuel Lanti, Alberto Bottino, Mohsen Sadr

The excitation of toroidicity-induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs) using prescribed external electromagnetic perturbations (hereafter 'antenna') acting on a confined toroidal plasma, as well as its nonlinear couplings to other modes in the system, is studied. ...

Light-Responsive Oligothiophenes Incorporating Photochromic Torsional Switches

Kevin Sivula, Emilie Baudat, Giuseppe Sforazzini, Muhammad Aiman Bin Rahmanudin Hamdan, Augustina Jozeliunaite

We present a quaterthiophene and sexithiophene that can reversibly change their effective pi-conjugation length through photoexcitation. The reported compounds make use of light-responsive molecular actuators consisting of an azobenzene attached to a bithi ...

Frontiers of (Pareto) Optimal and Sustainable Water Management for Hydropower and Ecology

David Andrew Barry, Paolo Perona, Amin Niayifar, Pierre Razurel

River regulation alters the natural flow regime of streams with consequent impacts on terrestrial and aquatic habitats of the riparian zone. The severity of such impacts can be modulated by changing the redistribution rules at water intakes and reservoirs. ...

Frequency dependence in GW made simple using a multipole approximation

Tommaso Chiarotti, Andrea Ferretti

In the GW approximation, the screened interaction W is a nonlocal and dynamical potential that usually has a complex frequency dependence. A full description of such a dependence is possible but often computationally demanding. For this reason, it is still ...

Stabilization of cultural innovations depends on population density: Testing an epidemiological model of cultural evolution against a global dataset of rock art sites and climate-based estimates of ancient population densities

John Richard Walker, Taylor Howard Newton, Francesco Casalegno

Demographic models of human cultural evolution have high explanatory potential but weak empirical support. Here we use a global dataset of rock art sites and climate and genetics-based estimates of ancient population densities to test a new model based on ...

Hierarchical Control of Islanded Microgrids with Flexible Structures

Pulkit Nahata

The primary objective of this doctoral thesis is the design and development of hierarchical control schemes for the overall operation and control of Islanded mGs (ImGs) with flexible structuresâ or, with no reference topologies. The control methodologies ...

A Shared Representation for Photorealistic Driving Simulators

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Saeed Saadatnejad, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan, Siyuan Li

A powerful simulator highly decreases the need for real-world tests when training and evaluating autonomous vehicles. Data-driven simulators flourished with the recent advancement of conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs), providing high-fidel ...

Two-Step Thermal Annealing: An Effective Route for 15 % Efficient Quasi-2D Perovskite Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Giulia Grancini, Valentin Ianis Emmanuel Queloz, Albertus Adrian Sutanto, Giorgio Schileo, Valentino Romano

Low-dimensional perovskites (LDP) are nowadays recognized as promising materials for the realization of highly performing photovoltaic cells. However, issues related to film morphology, composition, crystal quality and material homogeneity limit the device ...
