Exploring High-Performance and Energy-Efficient Architectures for Edge AI-Enabled Applications

The desire and ability to place AI-enabled applications on the edge has grown significantly in recent years. However, the compute-, area-, and power-constrained nature of edge devices are stressed by the needs of the AI-enabled applications, due to a gener ...

Circularity by stock in Sri Lanka: Economic necessity meets urban fabric renovation

Paolo Tombesi, Milinda Pathiraja

Persistent fiscal and political mismanagement, together with the financial pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, have driven Sri Lanka into a social and economic crisis triggering a decrease in national foreign exchange reserves, an inability to purchase vit ...

Patents, War and Peace. The resilience of the international patent order through the First World War

Nicolas Christophe Chachereau

By the end of the 19th century, an international order had emerged for patents, allowing business actors to use patents in many countries concurrently, and thus supporting a new phase in the development of industrial capitalism. Centered on Europe in spite ...

Better Trees for Santa Claus

Etienne Michel François Bamas, Lars Rohwedder

We revisit the problem max-min degree arborescence, which was introduced by Bateni et al. [STOC'09] as a central special case of the general Santa Claus problem, which constitutes a notorious open question in approximation algorithms. In the former problem ...

Experimental Investigation of Enhanced Grooves for Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner, Philipp Kaspar Bättig

This paper presents the results of a theoretical and experimental investigation of the potential of enhanced groove geometries to increase the bearing clearance of a Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearing (HGJB) supported rotor. The theoretical study investig ...

Sensor-based control strategies for integration of epidural electrical stimulation in rehabilitation after spinal cord injury

Miroslav Caban

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) results in damage to neural circuitry connecting the brain to the periphery. Consequently, sensory and motor function is lost, to varying degree, depending on the site and severity of the lesion. More than half of spinal cord injur ...

Investigation on the effect of eccentricity for fuel disc irradiation tests

Andreas Pautz, Carlo Fiorina, Alessandro Scolaro

A varying degree of eccentricity always exists in the initial configuration of a nuclear fuel rod. Its impact on traditional LWR fuel is limited as the radial gap closes relatively early during irradiation. However, the effect of misalignment is expected t ...

A high-throughput cell- and virus-free assay shows reduced neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variants by COVID-19 convalescent plasma

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Florence Pojer, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Valeria Cagno, Jérémy Campos, Céline Pellaton

The detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific antibodies in the serum of an individual indicates previous infection or vaccination. However, it provides limited insight into the protective nature of this immune resp ...

Multi-View Shape Estimation of Transparent Containers

Pascal Frossard, Andrea Cavallaro, Apostolos Modas

The 3D localisation of an object and the estimation of its properties, such as shape and dimensions, are challenging under varying degrees of transparency and lighting conditions. In this paper, we propose a method for jointly localising container-like obj ...

Safe Initialization of Objects

Martin Odersky, Fengyun Liu, Paolo Giosuè Giarrusso, Ondrej Lhoták

Every newly created object goes through several initialization states: starting from a state where all fields are uninitialized until all of them are assigned. Any operation on the object during its initialization process, which usually happens in the cons ...
