Les Cahiers de l'Ibois 3 / Ibois Notebook 3

Before the twentieth century and concrete modernity, it was stone that embodied the “well built”. Could sustainable wood one day replace concrete as the archetypal material? Will it find a place on the scale of values that gives archi- tecture its referenc ...

Temporal complexity of fMRI is reproducible and correlates with higher order cognition

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Amir Hossein Omidvarnia

It has been hypothesized that resting state networks (RSNs), extracted from resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI), likely display unique temporal complexity fingerprints, quantified by their multiscale entropy patterns (McDonough and ...

Mechanical reinforcement and memory effect of strain-induced soft segment crystals in thermoplastic polyurethane-urea elastomers

Nicolas Candau, Adrien Julien Demongeot, Oguzhan Oguz

An amorphous poly(urethane-urea) copolymer composed of 70 wt% poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) soft segments (SS) (Mw = 2000 g mol−1) and 30 wt% cycloaliphatic hard segments (HS) was subjected to in-situ X-Rays during tensile deformation. Mechanical hardening at ...

Resting brain dynamics at different timescales capture distinct aspects of human behavior

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Raphaël Pierre Liégeois

Linking human behavior to resting-state brain function is a central question in systems neuroscience. In particular, the functional timescales at which different types of behavioral factors are encoded remain largely unexplored. The behavioral counterparts ...

Multi-objective optimization of turbo-ORC systems for waste heat recovery on passenger car engines

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Kévin Rosset, Eliott Philippe Guenat, Violette Mounier

Waste heat recovery from passenger car internal combustion engines by means of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system is promising for reducing CO2 emissions. In this study, different cycle configurations capable of converting waste heat from both coolant a ...

Science, technology and the future of small autonomous drones

Dario Floreano

We are witnessing the advent of a new era of robots — drones — that can autonomously fly in natural and man-made environments. These robots, often associated with defence applications, could have a major impact on civilian tasks, including transportation, ...

Methodology for Identification of Suitable ORC-Cycle and Working-Fluid using Integration with Multiple Objectives

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Matthias Bendig

In recent times the interest in electricity production with Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) has increased. A look into recent publications shows that the identification of suitable working fluids is in general done by a look at a more or less small number of ...

What is the color of chocolate? - extracting color values of semantic expressions

Sabine Süsstrunk, Albrecht Johannes Lindner

We present a statistical framework to automatically determine an associated color for a given arbitrary semantic expression. The expression can not only be a color name but any word or character string. In addition to the color value, we are also able to c ...

Individual Differences in the Discrimination of Novel Speech Sounds: Effects of Sex, Temporal Processing, Musical and Cognitive Abilities

John Christian Thoresen

This study examined whether rapid temporal auditory processing, verbal working memory capacity, non-verbal intelligence, executive functioning, musical ability and prior foreign language experience predicted how well native English speakers (N = 120) discr ...

Electroactive micro and nanowells for optofluidic storage

Demetri Psaltis

This paper reports an optofluidic architecture which enables reversible trapping, detection and long term storage of spectrally multiplexed semiconductor quantum dot cocktails in electrokinetically active wells ranging in size from 200nm to 5 mu m. Here we ...
