The probability of intransitivity in dice and close elections

We study the phenomenon of intransitivity in models of dice and voting. First, we follow a recent thread of research for n-sided dice with pairwise ordering induced by the probability, relative to 1/2, that a throw from one die is higher than the other. We ...

Comparative assessment of selected sugarcane biorefinery-centered systems in Brazil: A multi-criteria method based on sustainability indicators

Edgard Gnansounou, Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon, Pavel Vaskan, Catarina Marciano Alves

This work proposes a new sustainability assessment framework aiming to compare selected options of biorefineries subject to provide the same services to a community. At this end, a concept of biorefinery-centered system helps to develop a joint resources a ...

Online Collaborative Prediction of Regional Vote Results

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan, Vincent Etter

We consider online predictions of vote results, where regions across a country vote on an issue under discussion. Such online predictions before and during the day of the vote are useful to media agencies, polling institutes, and political parties, e.g., t ...

Weight and Efficiency Optimized DC/DC Converter Based on Multiple Interleaved Channels

Alfred Rufer, Yannick Louvrier

Today, energy saving is one of the main objectives for engineers. In the case of mobile applications, energy can be saved by two different ways: decreasing the total masse of the system and increasing the efficiency of the overall system. This paper presen ...

Optimal use of conservation and accessibility filters in microRNA target prediction

Jiri Vanicek, Ray Marcel Marin Florez

It is generally accepted that filtering microRNA (miRNA) target predictions by conservation or by accessibility can reduce the false discovery rate. However, these two strategies are usually not exploited in a combined and flexible manner. Here, we introdu ...

Protein Domain Prediction and Alternative Splicing Histories : a Modular View

Yann Christinat

Modularity is at the core of bioinformatics. Here we focused on two different building blocks: protein domains and exons. While protein domains enable us to study the protein‚s functions, exons allow us to understand the evolution of the former. However, a ...

Fusion of Multi-Atlas Segmentations with Spatial Distribution Modeling

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Subrahmanyam Venkata Ravi Mohana Sai Gorthi

In recent years, multi-atlas fusion methods have gained significant attention in medical image segmentation. In this paper, we propose a general Markov Random Field (MRF) based framework that can perform edge-preserving smoothing of the labels at the time ...

Designing measurement systems for continuous monitoring of structures

Ian Smith, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Ngoc Thanh Trinh, Irwanda Laory

A good measurement system improves capability to identify the behavior of civil engineering structures. This paper presents a measurement-system design approach for continuous monitoring of structures. This approach performs two tasks: (1) determining the ...
