On the selection and effectiveness of pseudo-absences for species distribution modeling with deep learning
Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel, Robin Adrien Zbinden, Lloyd Haydn Hughes
Species distribution modeling is a highly versatile tool for understanding the intricate relationship between environmental conditions and species occurrences. However, the available data often lacks information on confirmed species absence and is limited ...
2024Reducing uncertainties in response predictions of earthquake-damaged masonry buildings using data from image-based inspection
Ian Smith, Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Mathias Christian Haindl Carvallo
Image information about the state of a building after an earthquake, which can be collected without endangering the post-earthquake reconnaissance activities, can be used to reduce uncertainties in response predictions for future seismic events. This paper ...
Springer2024Combating Online Scientific Misinformation
The drastic shift towards digital communication in our mediasphere has caused a profound change in the production and consumption of information, which in turn has substantial implications on the social and political landscape. Misinformation, as a side ef ...
EPFL2022Electrons leave the flatland: out-of-plane charge dynamics in layered materials
The goal of this thesis is to explore the "neglected" third dimension of layered materials, by studying the interlayer charge dynamics through dc conductivity, optical spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations. This project was designed to respond to the gro ...
EPFL2020Thermal Boundary Conductance: A Materials Science Perspective
Christian Monachon, Ludger Weber
The thermal boundary conductance (TBC) of materials pairs in atomically intimate contact is reviewed as a practical guide for materials scientists. First, analytical and computational models of TBC are reviewed. Five measurement methods are then compared i ...
Annual Reviews2016Artificial Evolution by Viability Rather Than Competition
Dario Floreano, Andrea Maesani, Pradeep Ruben Fernando
Evolutionary algorithms are widespread heuristic methods inspired by natural evolution to solve difficult problems for which analytical approaches are not suitable. In many domains experimenters are not only interested in discovering optimal solutions, but ...
Public Library of Science2014Towards an Online Lab Portal for Inquiry-based STEM Learning at School
Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Adrian Christian Holzer, Andrii Vozniuk, Sten Govaerts
Nowadays, the knowledge economy is growing rapidly. To sustain future growth, more well educated people in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) are needed. In the Go-Lab project we aim to motivate and orient students from an early age on ...
Springer2013Évaluation des performances et des impacts des enrobés bitumineux tièdes
By decreasing the mixing and laying temperatures, warm mix asphalts (WMA) allow a reduction of the energy consumption as well as the emissions, thus contributing to the sustainable development. However researches are necessary for these asphalt mixtures to ...
EPFL2011Brittle rock failure in the Steg lateral adit of the Lötschberg base tunnel
During the crossing of brittle rock formations at the Lötschberg base tunnel, failure phenomena have been observed both at the tunnel face and at the walls. A detailed analysis has been undertaken to explain these behaviours, based on the recent developmen ...
Springer Verlag2009NR2C - New Road Construction Concepts. Work Package 2: Interurban infrastructures. Concept and design of selected innovations for interurban infrastructure
The highway traffic size and loads have been continuously increasing all over Europe. At the same time, the expectations of users have been growing. They need more safe, durable and comfortable highway surfaces which make their trips low-cost and do not ac ...
