By juxtaposing ideas from fractal geometry and dynamical systems, Furstenberg proposed a series of conjectures in the late 1960's that explore the relationship between digit expansions with respect to multiplicatively independent bases. In this work, we in ...
A force-feedback surface that creates and modulates distinctive profile and stiffnessto interact with a user in contact thereto, the surface being functionally independentto be used as a single module but can be customized to extend the application indiver ...
We study the homogenization of the Poisson equation with a reaction term and of the eigenvalue problem associated to the generator of multiscale Langevin dynamics. Our analysis extends the theory of two-scale convergence to the case of weighted Sobolev spa ...
The conditional mean is a fundamental and important quantity whose applications include the theories of estimation and rate-distortion. It is also notoriously difficult to work with. This paper establishes novel bounds on the differential entropy of the co ...
This thesis addresses the question of abandonment in architecture, not in its negative sense of desertion, but as a possibility offered to buildings which have lost their original purpose, which is to say those buildings from social and economic contexts w ...
Over the past two decades, a number of digital platforms have been developed with the aim of engaging citizens in scientific research projects. The success of these platforms depends in no small part on their ability to attract and retain participants, tur ...
This repository contains the datasets of Doppler spectra collected by two meteorological radars in the vicinity of the Belgian research base Princess Elisabeth Antarctica (PEA). The measurement campaign has been conducted by the Environmental Remote S ...
The present work deals with monochromatic wavefront aberrations in optical systems without symmetries. The treatment begins with a class of systems characterized by misaligned spherical surfaces whose behavior is analyzed using the wavefront aberration exp ...
This paper considers an additive Gaussian noise channel with arbitrarily distributed finite variance input signals. It studies the differential entropy of the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) estimator and provides a new lower bound which connects the diff ...
In-plane permeability of small area (100 × 50 mm) alumina fiber woven fabrics grafted with aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT) was quantified by placing them in series with a glass mat of known permeability during a flow experiment. The methodology was first va ...
