Rock-Flow Cell Parameters Evaluation Using Ultrasound Doppler Velocimetry

Giovanni De Cesare, Javier Neves da Silva, Andre Luis Stakowian

This work presents a study of two-phase flow generated inside a rock-flow cell setup. It is characterized by a pipe section filled with fluid (oil in our studies) that is put into oscillation around its mass centre by an electric motor. This type of appara ...

Multimodal water age distributions and the challenge of complex hydrological landscapes

Paolo Benettin

Travel time distributions (TTDs) are concise descriptions of transport processes in catchments based on water ages, and they are particularly efficient as lumped hydrological models to simulate tracers in outflows. Past studies have approximated catchment ...

Ligand-Modulated Excess PbI2 Nanosheets for Highly Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Jingshan Luo, Zaiwei Wang, Chenyi Yi, Xiaoyu Zhang, Yi Ding, Zhen Yang

Excess lead iodide (PbI2), as a defect passivation material in perovskite films, contributes to the longer carrier lifetime and reduced halide vacancies for high-efficiency perovskite solar cells. However, the random distribution of excess PbI2 also leads ...

Data-Driven Distributionally Robust Optimization Using the Wasserstein Metric: Performance Guarantees and Tractable Reformulations

Daniel Kuhn, Peyman Mohajerin Esfahani

We consider stochastic programs where the distribution of the uncertain parameters is only observable through a finite training dataset. Using the Wasserstein metric, we construct a ball in the space of (multivariate and non-discrete) probability distribut ...

Chebyshev Inequalities for Products of Random Variables

Daniel Kuhn, Napat Rujeerapaiboon, Wolfram Wiesemann

We derive sharp probability bounds on the tails of a product of symmetric non-negative random variables using only information about their first two moments. If the covariance matrix of the random variables is known exactly, these bounds can be computed nu ...

Approximate Decoding for Network Coded Inter-dependent Data

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos, Hyung Gon Park

In this paper, we consider decoding of loss tolerant data encoded by network coding and transmitted over error-prone networks. Intermediate network nodes typically perform the random linear network coding in a Galois field and a Gaussian elimination is use ...

Distributionally Robust Logistic Regression

Daniel Kuhn, Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh, Peyman Mohajerin Esfahani

This paper proposes a distributionally robust approach to logistic regression. We use the Wasserstein distance to construct a ball in the space of probability distributions centered at the uniform distribution on the training samples. If the radius of this ...

A wind-tunnel investigation of wind-turbine wakes in yawed conditions

Fernando Porté Agel, Majid Bastankhah

Wind-tunnel experiments were performed to study the performance of a model wind turbine and its wake characteristics in a boundary layer under different operating conditions, including different yaw angles and tip speed ratios. High-resolution particle ima ...

An evaluation of surface micro- and mesoplastic pollution in pelagic ecosystems of the Western Mediterranean Sea

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Pascal Hagmann

This study examines the distribution, abundance and characteristics of surface micro- and mesoplastic debris in the Western Mediterranean Sea. 41 samples were collected in 2011 (summer) and 2012 (summer). Results, firstly, revealed that micro- (

A Unified Formulation of Gaussian Versus Sparse Stochastic Processes-Part II: Discrete-Domain Theory

Michaël Unser, Arash Amini, Pouya Dehghani Tafti, Hagay Kirshner

This paper is devoted to the characterization of an extended family of continuous-time autoregressive moving average (CARMA) processes that are solutions of stochastic differential equations driven by white Levy innovations. These are completely specified ...
