Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

A lower bound on opaque sets

János Pach

It is proved that the total length of any set of countably many rectifiable curves whose union meets all straight lines that intersect the unit square U is at least 2.00002. This is the first improvement on the lower bound of 2 known since 1964. A similar ...

SUBDIVIDE AND CONQUER Active Contours and Surfaces for Biomedical Image Segmentation

Anaïs Laure Marie-Thérèse Badoual

Ongoing advances in imaging techniques create new demands regarding the analysis of images in medicine and biology. Image segmentation is a key step of many image analysis pipelines and its proper execution is a particularly challenging task. This thesis i ...

High-Resolution Data Sets Unravel the Effects of Sources and Meteorological Conditions on Nitrate and Its Gas-Particle Partitioning

Athanasios Nenes, Qianyu Zhao, Yan Feng

Nitrate is one of the most abundant inorganic water-soluble ions in fine particulate matter (PM2.5). However, the formation mechanism of nitrate in the ambient atmosphere, especially the impacts of its semivolatility and the various existing forms of nitro ...

Reconstructing the spectral shape of a stochastic gravitational wave background with LISA

Daniel Garcia Figueroa

We present a set of tools to assess the capabilities of LISA to detect and reconstruct the spectral shape and amplitude of a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB). We first provide the LISA power-law sensitivity curve and binned power-law sensiti ...

Mechanics of a pressure-controlled adhesive membrane for soft robotic gripping on curved surfaces

Jamie Paik, Metin Sitti, Sukho Song

This paper aims at understanding the adhesion mechanics of a pressure-controlled adhesive thin elastomeric membrane for soft robotic gripping on non-planar, curved surfaces. The adhesive elastic membrane is lined with gecko-inspired microfiber arrays and c ...

Pattern formation in thin liquid films: from coating-flow instabilities to microfluidic droplets

Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra

Nature and technical applications abound with thin viscous flows, ranging from the lava flow on volcanoes to the lubricating layer around confined bubbles in the microchannels of Lab-on-a-Chip devices. Countless are the examples where coating flows arise i ...

On Sets Defining Few Ordinary Circles

Frank de Zeeuw

An ordinary circle of a set P of n points in the plane is defined as a circle that contains exactly three points of P. We show that if P is not contained in a line or a circle, then P spans at least ordinary circles. Moreover, we determine the exact minimu ...

Rapid Deployment of Curved Surfaces via Programmable Auxetics

Mark Pauly, Mina Konakovic Lukovic

Deployable structures are physical mechanisms that can easily transition between two or more geometric configurations; such structures enable industrial, scientific, and consumer applications at a wide variety of scales. This paper develops novel deployabl ...
