Subaltern housing policies: Accommodating migrant workers in wealthy Geneva

Luca Giovanni Pattaroni, Maxime Carl Felder

In the wealthy and orderly city of Geneva, Switzerland, accommodation centres built in haste between the 1950s and the 1980s to house seasonal guestworkers from southern Europe are still standing and still inhabited. Today's residents are precarious worker ...

OASE 108. Ups & Downs. Reception Histories in Architecture

Christophe van Gerrewey

What is good, less good, or bad architecture? This issue of OASE examines how shifting appreciations, for very diverse reasons, can function as a productive misunderstanding, and as a lever to advance architectural criticism and pry thinking about architec ...

Discrete choice and machine learning: Thomson and Thompson?

Michel Bierlaire

Classification methods from machine learning are receiving a lot of attention in the transportation modelling community. This is motivated by the access to large databases, and to various success stories reported in this research community. Discrete choice ...

Dynamic Modeling of Trip Completion Rate in Urban Areas with MFD Representations

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte, Mikhail Murashkin

A large part of the research utilizing the concept of Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) relies heavily on the PL model, an approximation of the trip completion rate derived for steady states. There exists an alternative method to the PL approximation. ...

Self-Assembled Nanomicelles as MRI Blood-Pool Contrast Agent

Lothar Helm, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Vassily Vorobiev

Gadolinium‐loaded nanomicelles show promise as future magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs). Their increased size and high gadolinium (Gd) loading gives them an edge in proton relaxivity over smaller molecular Gd‐complexes. Their size and ...

Beyond Bits: Reconstructing Images from Local Binary Descriptors

Pierre Vandergheynst, Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Emmanuel D'Angelo

Local Binary Descriptors (LBDs) are good at matching image parts, but how much information is actually carried? Surprisingly, this question is usually ignored and replaced by a comparison of matching performances. In this paper, we directly address it by t ...

Toward Quantifying System Manageability

George Candea

Manageability directly influences a system's reliability, availability, security, and safety, thus being a key ingredient of system dependability. Alas, we do not have today a good way to measure manageability or reason quantitatively about it, and this is ...

High Relaxivity Confined to a Small Molecular Space: A Metallostar-Based, Potential MRI Contrast Agent

André Merbach, Alain Borel, Eva Jakab Toth, Joao Bruno Livramento Fig.

Good things come in small packages: For its moderate molecular weight, the metallostar complex [Fe{Gd2L(H2O)4}3]4− (see picture; L is a bipyridine–poly(aminocarboxylate) derivative) displays exceptionally high proton relaxivity, which is explained in terms ...
