A Fundamental Limit of Distributed Hypothesis Testing Under Memoryless Quantization

Ali H. Sayed, Emre Telatar, Mert Kayaalp, Yunus Inan

We consider a distributed binary hypothesis testing setup where multiple nodes send quantized information to a central processor, which is oblivious to the nodes’ statistics. We study the regime where the type-II error decays exponentially and the type-I e ...

Material and mesostructural design guidelines for high performing photoelectrodes

Yannick Kenneth Gaudy

The fabrication of particle-based photoelectrodes by coating or dipping procedures-similar to the scaled fabrication of battery electrodes-can be a route to overcome the efficiency-cost tradeoff of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting devices. Additi ...

Thermo-economic analysis and multi-objective optimisation of lignocellulosic biomass conversion to Fischer-Tropsch fuels

François Maréchal, Guillaume Boissonnet, Emanuela Peduzzi

This paper addresses the techno-economic evaluation and optimisation of processes converting lignocellulosic biomass into liquid fuels, through the development of a suitable framework and the modelling and design of Biomass to Liquids (BTL) processes. In p ...

Thermo-economic optimization of an ORC driven heat pump based on small scale turbomachinery and comparison with absorption heat pumps

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Luis Carlos Mendoza Toledo, Violette Mounier

The current paper presents the thermo-economic optimization and comparison, through a multi-objective algorithm, between HP-ORC and the competing single effect absorption heat pump (SEAHP), with the aim to find the best trade-off between investment cost an ...

Sparse Group Covers and Greedy Tree Approximations

Volkan Cevher, Luca Baldassarre

We consider the problem of finding a K-sparse approximation of a signal, such that the support of the approximation is the union of sets from a given collection, a.k.a. group structure. This problem subsumes the one of finding K-sparse tree approximations. ...

Biomass To Liquids

Emanuela Peduzzi

Biomass is the major source of renewable carbon which can be used to substitute fossil carbon in fuels and chemical products. This thesis addresses the modelling, design and thermoeconomic evaluation and optimisation of processes converting Biomass to Liqu ...

Targeted Delivery: An Integrated Microrobotic Platform for On-Demand, Targeted Therapeutic Interventions (Adv. Mater. 6/2014)

Mahmut Selman Sakar

This review presents an overview of the initial targeted chemical processing stages for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to platform molecules that serve as intermediates for the production of carbon-based fuels and chemicals. We identify four classes ...

A Budget-balanced, Incentive-compatible Scheme for Social Choice

Boi Faltings

Many practical scenarios involve solving a social choice problem: a group of self-interested agents have to agree on an outcome that best fits their combined preferences. We assume that each outcome presents a certain utility to an agent and that the best ...
