Heuristic Estimation of the Vacuum Energy Density of the Universe: Part I—Analysis Based on Time Domain Electromagnetic Radiation

In this paper, an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density of the universe is derived using an indirect and heuristic procedure. The derivation is based on a proposed thought experiment, according to which an electron is accelerated to a constant ...

Unlabeled Sensing of Multi-Input FRI Signals

Taulant Koka

Shannon's sampling theorem for bandlimited signals, formulated in 1949, has become a cornerstone for modern digital communications and signal processing. The importance of sampling and reconstruction of analog signals has led to great advances in the field ...

Optimizing the mitigation of epidemic spreading through targeted adoption of contact tracing apps

Andrea Santoro

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is the first epidemic in human history in which digital contact tracing has been deployed at a global scale. Tracking and quarantining all the contacts of individuals who test positive for a virus can help slow down an epidemi ...

3D Pose Based Feedback For Physical Exercises

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Isinsu Katircioglu, Sena Kiciroglu, Ziqi Zhao, Hugues François Rémi Vinzant, Yuan Cheng, Ziyi Zhao

Unsupervised self-rehabilitation exercises and physical training can cause serious injuries if performed incorrectly. We introduce a learning-based framework that identifies the mistakes made by a user and proposes corrective measures for easier and safer ...

Modeling and optimization of dedicated bus lanes space allocation in large networks with dynamic congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Dimitrios Tsitsokas, Anastasios Kouvelas

Dedicated bus lanes provide a low cost and easily implementable strategy to improve transit service by minimizing congestion-related delays. Identifying the best spatial distribution of bus-only lanes in order to maximize traffic performance of an urban ne ...

Feasibility of Detecting Interstellar Panspermia in Astrophysical Environments

Claudio Grimaldi

The proposition that life can spread from one planetary system to another (interstellar panspermia) has a long history, but this hypothesis is difficult to test through observations. We develop a mathematical model that takes parameters such as the microbi ...

A Hybrid Cache HW/SW Stack for Optimizing Neural Network Runtime, Power and Endurance

David Atienza Alonso, Marina Zapater Sancho, Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse, William Andrew Simon

Hybrid caches consisting of both SRAM and emerging Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (eNVRAM) bitcells increase cache capacity and reduce power consumption by taking advantage of eNVRAM's small area footprint and low leakage energy. However, they also inhe ...

A disaggregate choice-based approach to find epsilon-equilibria of oligopolistic markets

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Stefano Bortolomiol

We present a general framework to find epsilon-equilibrium solutions of oligopolistic markets in which demand is modeled at the disaggregate level using discrete choice models. Consumer choices are modeled according to random utility theory, and the choice ...

Data-driven Measurement Designs for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Baran Gözcü

Despite being a powerful medical imaging technique which does not emit any ionizing radiation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) always had the major problem of long scanning times that can take up to an hour depending on the application. It also requires u ...

Heuristics for the Development and Evaluation of Educational Robotics Systems

Francesco Mondada, Alberto Piatti, Christian Giang

Contribution: While previous research has studied the use of educational robotics in classrooms, there is still a lack of methods to support the development and evaluation of such tools. To this end, this paper presents an evaluation framework and a corres ...
