A Note on BIBO Stability

The statements on the BIBO stability of continuoustime convolution systems found in engineering textbooks are often either too vague (because of lack of hypotheses) or mathematically incorrect. What is more troubling is that they usually exclude the identi ...

Changes in ambulatory knee adduction moment with lateral wedge insoles differ with respect to the natural foot progression angle

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Lateral wedge insoles (LWI) have been proposed to reduce the knee adduction moment (KAM) during walking; a biomechanical modification notably sought in case of medial knee osteoarthritis. However, the inter-individual inconsistency in KAM changes with LWI ...

Instruction, Student Engagement and Learning Outcomes: A Case Study Using Anonymous Social Media in a Face-to-face Classroom

Denis Gillet, Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana, Adrian Christian Holzer

With the wide availability of mobile devices and the growing interest in social media, numerous applications have emerged to support student engagement in the classroom. There is conflicting evidence, however, on whether the engagement benefits of such app ...

Demographic stochasticity and resource autocorrelation control biological invasions in heterogeneous landscapes

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Florian Altermatt

Mounting theoretical evidence suggests that demographic stochasticity, environmental heterogeneity and biased movement of organisms individually affect the dynamics of biological invasions and range expansions. Studies of species spread in heterogeneous la ...

Scale-invariant representation of light field images for object recognition and tracking

Martin Vetterli, Alireza Ghasemi

Achieving perfect scale-invariance is usually not possible using classical color image features. This is mostly because of the fact that a traditional image is a two-dimensional projection of the real world. In contrast, light field imaging makes available ...

Extraction of audio features specific to speech production for multimodal speaker detection

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Jean-Marc Vesin, Murat Kunt, Vlad Popovici, Patricia Besson

A method that exploits an information theoretic framework to extract optimized audio features using video information is presented. A simple measure of mutual information (MI) between the resulting audio and video features allows the detection of the activ ...

Micromachined electric propulsion using ionic liquids as fuel

Herbert Shea, Renato Krpoun

MEMS-based electric propulsion (EP) presents several advantages over conventional EP approaches, including scalability, redundancy, fine thrust control, low thrust noise, and reduced operation voltage. Small spacecraft (1- 100 kg) in particular stand to be ...
