Understanding mobility behaviour in cross-border regions is a major challenge for transport policies and the wellbeing of people living near national borders. However, the available relevant information is often limited to a collection of unharmonized nati ...
Cross-border regions are seen as specific spaces where both cosmopolitanism and nationalistic attitudes can spread. It is commonly argued that due to the physical proximity to a neighbouring country, the development of cross-border encounters and interacti ...
At the crossroads of transportation engineering and urban sociology, the dissertation deciphers the interactions between daily mobility and social inequalities, what I call the "social mechanics of mobility". To do so, I draw on a twofold survey, both quan ...
This chapter takes stock of contemporary migration by breaking with a few myths and by distinguishing between interregional and international migration. It shows how new research paradigms have relativized the importance of the state as the preferred frame ...
Morphing attacks are a threat to biometric systems where the biometric reference in an identity document can be altered. This form of attack presents an important issue in applications relying on identity documents such as border security or access control ...
The nature of the gap observed at the zone border in the spin excitation spectrum of CrI3 quasitwo-dimensional single crystals is still controversial. We perform first-principles calculations based on time-dependent density functional perturbation theory, ...
Can living near a national border have an effect on the politicization of individuals? To answer this question, this article challenges the results put forward by some European Border Studies scholars granting the border a major role in the construction of ...
The extremely high recognition accuracy achieved by modern, convolutional neural network (CNN) based face recognition (FR) systems has contributed significantly to the adoption of such systems in a variety of applications, from mundane activities like unlo ...
With the dynamics of employment growth in Luxembourg, more and more workers cross the border every day to get to their workplaces. This article proposes to study the daily lives of these cross-border workers by analysing their daily activity programmes bas ...
Face recognition is a mature field in biometrics in which several systems have been proposed over the last three decades.
Such systems are extremely reliable under controlled recording conditions and it has been deployed in the field in critical tasks, suc ...
