The Deformation Capacity of Lap Splices in RC Walls: From Experimental Testing to Numerical Modelling

Field observations as well as experimental tests have shown that both the strength and displacement capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members might be significantly reduced by the presence of lap splices. This degradation applies in particular if the lo ...

Maximal fusion of facts on the web with credibility guarantee

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thanh Trung Huynh, Thành Tâm Nguyên

The Web became the central medium for valuable sources of information fusion applications. However, such user-generated resources are often plagued by inaccuracies and misinformation as a result of the inherent openness and uncertainty of the Web. While fi ...

The symmetry of partner modelling

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova, Séverin Lemaignan, Mirweis Sangin, Gaëlle Molinari

Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common grounds are the object of scientific controversy. We postulate tha ...

Nano-optics gets practical

Hatice Altug

The advent of nanotechnology has allowed scientists to study light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. A considerable amount of fundamental knowledge has accumulated in the past two decades and the field of nano-optics may now in fact be on the cusp of d ...

Capacity and Data Complexity in Multidimensional Linear Attack

Serge Vaudenay, Jialin Huang

Multidimensional linear attacks are one of the most powerful variants of linear cryptanalytic techniques now. However, there is no knowledge on the key-dependent capacity and data complexity so far. Their values were assumed to be close to the average valu ...

Effective Nonmarket Strategies: A Model of Political Capabilities

Bastian Wolfgang Schwark

This proposal focuses on the firms’ political capabilities as the major determinant to effectiveness of their nonmarket strategy. The term “nonmarket strategy” is relatively young and was primarily coined by Baron (1995) referring to the fact that a firm h ...

Can bioactivity be tested in vitro with SBF solution ?

Jacques Lemaître

A large part of the scientiﬁc community has accepted the paradigm that a simulated body solution (SBF) can be used to test the bioactivity of a material. This is exempliﬁed by the rapidly increasing number of publications using this test. The aim of this d ...

The Coherence of Theories-Dependencies and Weights

Jingshi Li

One way to evaluate and compare rival but potentially incompatible theories that account for the same set of observations is coherence. In this paper we take the quantitative notion of theory coherence as proposed by [Kwok, et.al. 98] and broaden its found ...

Modeling perceptual learning: why mice do not play backgammon

Michael Herzog, Elisa Tartaglia, Carl Kristoffer Aberg

Perceptual learning is often considered one of the simplest and basic forms of learning in general. Accordingly, it is usually modeled with simple and basic neural networks which show good results in grasping the empirical data. Simple meets simple. Comple ...
