Exploring causalities between modal habits, activity scheduling, and multi-day locational practices

Marc-Edouard Baptiste Grégoire Schultheiss

Despite raising awareness of sustainable behavior and considerable investments in the public transport network and active mobility infrastructure, car use remains the main practice for daily mobility in Switzerland. This work postulates that resistances to ...

Crank arrangement for driving a mechanical oscillator

Simon Nessim Henein, Billy Nussbaumer

Crank arrangement (1) for driving a pin-driven two degrees? of freedom mechanical oscillator (5), comprising:- a crank element (7) arranged to be rotationally driven about an axis of rotation (19) by means of a mechanical source of energy (M),- a crank slo ...

Parallel-Correctness and Containment for Conjunctive Queries with Union and Negation

Bas Ketsman

Single-round multiway join algorithms first reshuffle data over many servers and then evaluate the query at hand in a parallel and communication-free way. A key question is whether a given distribution policy for the reshuffle is adequate for computing a g ...

Vase-Kite Equilibrium of Resorcin[4]arene Cavitands Investigated Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations with Ball-and-Stick Local Elevation Umbrella Sampling

Jovana Milic

A key feature of resorcin[4]arene cavitands is their ability to switch between a closed/contracted (Vase) and an open/expanded (Kite) conformation. The mechanism and dynamics of this interconversion remains, however, elusive. In the present study, the Vase ...

The Role of Anisotropy on the Volumetric Behaviour of Opalinus Clay upon Suction Change

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci, Alberto Minardi

An experimental investigation to analyse the anisotropic volumetric response of shaly and sandy facies of Opalinus Clay upon suction variations is presented. Obtained results demonstrate the different behaviour of the tested facies to a wetting-drying cycl ...

Distinct Distances on Algebraic Curves in the Plane

János Pach, Frank de Zeeuw

Let S be a set of n points in R-2 contained in an algebraic curve C of degree d. We prove that the number of distinct distances determined by S is at least c(d)n(4/3), unless C contains a line or a circle. We also prove the lower bound c(d)' min{m(2/3)n(2/ ...

The number of double-normals in space

Andrei Kupavskii

Given a set V of points in , two points p, q from V form a double-normal pair, if the set V lies between two parallel hyperplanes that pass through p and q, respectively, and that are orthogonal to the segment pq. In this paper we study the maximum number ...

Optical prism for creating multiple views of an image

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Stefan Geissbuehler

Optical prism comprising two external parallel and reflecting surfaces, one internal interface, parallel to said surfaces and acting as light splitter; said prism furthermore comprising an entrance side forming an angle β with respect to said interface and ...

Projection onto the Manifold of Elongated Structures for Accurate Extraction

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Amos Sironi

Detection of elongated structures in 2D images and 3D image stacks is a critical prerequisite in many applications and Machine Learning-based approaches have recently been shown to deliver superior performance. However, these methods essentially classify i ...

Perceptual Learning With Only One Stimulus

Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Fred Mast, Elisa Tartaglia

Perceptual learning is learning to see. For example in a bisection task, three parallel lines are presented with the central line slightly offset towards the right or the left outer line. Participants indicate the offset direction. Training gradually impro ...
