The Cold Bent Glass Roof of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London
Creators: name: Eekhout, M.

Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2010

description: The Victoria & Albert Museum in London was recently extended with its Medieval and Renaissance Galleries. Designed by MUMA Architects (London), an existing outside courtyard has been transformed by the addition of a glass roof into a light filled exhibition space.Due to the existing geometry of the surrounding buildings, and several boundary conditions set by the architects, the surface of the roof could not be flat. Instead, it had to be twisted into an undevelopable hypar surface. Pre-engineering by Dewhurst Macfarlane (London) indicated the possibility of achieving this surface with cold bent glass panels. The experience of Octatube with this kind of surfaces as well as the development of a theory of cold bent glass panels, transformed the possibility into a reality. A further complication of the design rested in the fact that the load bearing construction of the glass roof panels was unusually long, triple laminated glass beams. To provide a suitable fail safe concept for the glass roof, it was insufficient to consider only the separate members of the construction. Instead, to describe the fail safe behaviour of the structure, all parts had to be considered to work together during an emergency situation.

description: Physical strands or sheets that can be modelled as curves or surfaces embedded in three dimensions are ubiquitous in nature, and are of fundamental importance in mathematics, physics, biology and engineering. Often the physical interpretation dictates that self-avoidance should be enforced in the continuum model, i.e. finite energy configurations should not self-intersect. Current continuum models with self-avoidance frequently employ pairwise repulsive potentials, which are of necessity singular. Moreover the potentials do not have an intrinsic length scale appropriate for modelling the finite thickness of the physical systems. Here we develop a framework for modelling self-avoiding strands and sheets which avoids singularities, and which provides a way to introduce a thickness length scale. In our approach pairwise interaction potentials are replaced by many-body potentials involving three or more points, and the radii of certain associated circles or spheres. Self-interaction energies based on these many-body potentials can be used to describe the statistical mechanics of self-interacting strands and sheets of finite thickness.

Year: 2010

description: This paper focuses on three key areas in the design and use of glass as a structural material, illustrating these areas with the use of Apple Store Upper West Side as a case study: 1. Introduction to the structural principles required to design transparent structures; 2. The design of large glass structures, from concept through design development to final details, from global structural models to local stresses in connections; 3. The variations in structural capacity of glass with changes in load duration, methods of load application and location of high stresses.

title: The Elements of the Global Network for Large-Value Funds Transfers
Creators: name: Dingle, James
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2001

description: The author describes the various elements of the global payment network for large-value funds transfers (G-LVTN) in order to provide a convenient reference document intended for readers in the academic, legal, and financial communities. The short form G-LVTN is used to name the totality of the relevant national payment systems and cross-border banking arrangements that comprise the global whole. Policy issues relevant to the G-LVTN that have arisen over the last decade are summarized, as are the principal actions taken by central banks and others to address those issues. The paper concludes by examining three trends that are affecting the processing of substantial cross-border funds transfers, and how those trends may affect the global network in the future.
description: Dans ce document de référence utile, rédigé à l'intention des milieux universitaires, juridiques et financiers, l'auteur décrit les diverses composantes du réseau mondial de transfert de paiements de grande valeur. L'acronyme anglais G-LVTN y est utilisé pour désigner l'ensemble des systèmes nationaux de paiement pertinents et des arrangements bancaires transfrontières qui composent le réseau mondial. L'auteur donne également un aperçu des questions de politique que le réseau a soulevées durant les dix dernières années ainsi que des principales mesures prises par les banques centrales et d'autres institutions à cet égard. En conclusion, il examine trois tendances qui influent sur le traitement des importants transferts de fonds transfrontières ainsi que leurs répercussions possibles sur le réseau mondial dans l'avenir.

description: Electronic phase separation is crucial for the fascinating macroscopic properties of the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) paradigm oxide interface, including the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism. We investigate this phenomenon using angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) in the soft-X-ray energy range, where the enhanced probing depth combined with resonant photoexcitation allow access to fundamental electronic structure characteristics (momentum-resolved spectral function, dispersions and ordering of energy bands, Fermi surface) of buried interfaces. Our experiment uses X-ray irradiation of the LAO/STO interface to tune its oxygen deficiency, building up a dichotomic system where mobile weakly correlated Ti t2g-electrons co-exist with localized strongly correlated Ti eg-ones. The ARPES spectra dynamics under X-ray irradiation shows a gradual intensity increase under constant Luttinger count of the Fermi surface. This fact identifies electronic phase separation (EPS) where the mobile electrons accumulate in conducting puddles with fixed electronic structure embedded in an insulating host phase, and allows us to estimate the lateral fraction of these puddles. We discuss the physics of EPS invoking a theoretical picture of oxygen-vacancy clustering, promoted by the magnetism of the localized Ti eg-electrons, and repelling of the mobile t2g-electrons from these clusters. Our results on the irradiation-tuned EPS elucidate the intrinsic one taking place at the stoichiometric LAO/STO interfaces.

description: The design of countermeasures such as barriers and filter dams needs an accurate estimation of the impact load. However, debris flows typically contain poorly sorted grains, whose size can span several orders of magnitude. Large grains can induce impulsive loads on a barrier, and potentially clog the openings designed to induce self-cleaning after an event. The current modeling techniques, mostly based on continuum-based depth-integrated approximations, cannot accurately describe these mechanisms, and analytical approaches often fail to tackle this complexity. In an effort to reproduce a realistic impact load, a sample flow composed of grains is reproduced with a three-dimensional model based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM). The mass impinges upon a barrier with a prescribed velocity. The barrier design is inspired by a monitored dam built on a catchment located in the Italian Alps, which features multiple outlets. The grains can clog the outlets, forming frictional arches. The load pattern on the barrier is analyzed in terms of single-grain impact and of collective behaviors. The impulse transferred by the granular mass to the structure is then used as input for a structural analysis of the barrier through a Finite Element analysis. The results highlight how frictional chains can induce loads that are substantially different from those determined by standard analytical approaches.

description: This paper investigates the effects of the continuation of globalization and technological developments on the future of national-level financial markets and trading centres, particularly in smaller countries such as Canada. We foresee the development of a single global market in the most-liquid assets based on equity-market linkages. Thus, we see this global market being accessed by national-level trading centres. Moreover, we see a remaining role for national-level intermediated markets for less-liquid products. This could pose some problems as the scale of the latter could diminish over time.
description: L'étude porte sur les effets de la poursuite de la mondialisation et du progrès technique sur l'avenir des centres d'échange d'actifs financiers et des marchés financiers nationaux, particulièrement pour des économies de petite taille comme le Canada. En raison des liens grandissants entre les marchés d'actions, les auteurs prévoient que les actifs hautement liquides se négocieront sur un marché mondial unique, dont l'accès se fera à partir de centres d'échange d'actifs financiers nationaux. Selon les auteurs, les produits peu liquides continueront de se négocier sur les marchés nationaux où il y a intermédiation. La baisse éventuelle du volume d'activité de ces marchés pourrait cependant devenir problématique.

description: The proliferation of IoT devices in smart homes, hospitals, and enterprise networks is widespread and continuing to increase in a superlinear manner. With this unprecedented growth, how can one assess the security of an IoT network holistically? In this article, we explore two dimensions of security assessment, using vulnerability information of IoT devices and their underlying components ($\textit{compositional security scores}$) and SIEM logs captured from the communications and operations of such devices in a network ($\textit{dynamic activity metrics}$) to propose the notion of an $\textit{attack circuit}$. These measures are used to evaluate the security of IoT devices and the overall IoT network, demonstrating the effectiveness of attack circuits as practical tools for computing security metrics (exploitability, impact, and risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of heterogeneous networks. We propose methods for generating attack circuits with input/output pairs constructed from CVEs using natural language processing (NLP) and with weights computed using standard security scoring procedures, as well as efficient optimization methods for evaluating attack circuits. Our system provides insight into possible attack paths an adversary may utilize based on their exploitability, impact, or overall risk. We have performed experiments on IoT networks to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed techniques.

Role of the confinement-induced effective range on the thermodynamics of a strongly correlated Fermi gas in two dimensions

description: We theoretically investigate the thermodynamic properties of a strongly correlated two-dimensional Fermi gas with a confinement-induced negative effective range of interactions, which is described by a two-channel model Hamiltonian. By extending the many-body T-matrix approach by Nozières and Schmitt-Rink to the two-channel model, we calculate the equation of state in the normal phase and present several thermodynamic quantities as functions of temperature, interaction strength, and effective range. We find that there is a non-trivial dependence of thermodynamics on the effective range. In experiment, where the effective range is set by the tight axial confinement, the contribution of the effective range becomes non-negligible as the temperature decreases down to the degenerate temperature. We compare our finite-range results with recent measurements on the density equation of state, and show that the effective range has to be taken into account for the purpose of a quantitative understanding of the experimental data.

description: We report the identification of the cataclysmic variable 1RXSJ062518.2+733433 as an intermediate polar. The orbital period of the system is determined to be 283.0+-2 min from the radial velocity variation of Halpha, measured in an extensive set of time-resolved spectroscopy. Differential optical photometry obtained over a base line of three weeks reveals the presence of coherent variability with a period of 19.788+-0.002 min, which we suggest to be the white dwarf spin period. The power spectrum of our photometry also contains a strong signal near the spectroscopically determined orbital period. The emission lines in 1RXSJ062518.2+733433 display a complex multicomponent structure. In the trailed spectrogram of HeI 6678 we detect a narrow component with a radial velocity semi-amplitude of ~140kms, consistent with a possible origin on the irradiated face of the secondary. The absence of eclipses gives an upper limit on the binary inclination of i<=60deg.

description: Glass has a long tradition as a medium for art and sculptural design. Yet, with a few notable exceptions, these items remain small and studio based. Over the last six years, the author has developed a number of larger scale projects which bridge the gap between architecture and sculpture. These projects incorporate predominantly annealed glass and rely on gravity and mass for stability, yet their simplicity of form belies a complexity of construction. This paper explains the typologies of mass glass structures and explores the geometrical, engineering, manufacturing and installation challenges which have been encountered and overcome in their realization.

In the small damping limit, we show that the physical observables grow algebraically with time before the dissipative time scale is reached, and calculate the associated anomalous diffusion exponents. In the case of colored noise, with a nonzero but arbitrarily small correlation time, the characteristic exponents are modified. We determine their values thanks to a self-consistent Ansatz.

description: Mining gene expression profiles has proven valuable for identifying signatures serving as surrogates of cancer phenotypes. However, the similarities of such signatures across different cancer types have not been strong enough to conclude that they represent a universal biological mechanism shared among multiple cancer types. Here we describe a network-based approach that explores gene-to-gene connections in multiple cancer datasets while maximizing the overall association of the subnetwork with clinical outcomes. With the dataset of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we studied the characteristics of common gene expression of three types of cancers: Rectum adenocarcinoma (READ), Breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA) and Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). By analyzing several pairs of highly correlated genes after filtering and clustering work, we found that the co-expressed genes across multiple types of cancers point to particular biological mechanisms related to cancer cell progression , suggesting that they represent important attributes of cancer in need of being elucidated for potential applications in diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic products applicable to multiple cancer types.

Year: 2001

description: This paper evaluates linear and non-linear forecast-combination methods. Among the non-linear methods, we propose a nonparametric kernel-regression weighting approach that allows maximum flexibility of the weighting parameters. A Monte Carlo simulation study is performed to compare the performance of the different weighting schemes. The simulation results show that the non-linear combination methods are superior in all scenarios considered. When forecast errors are correlated across models, the nonparametric weighting scheme yields the lowest mean-squared errors. When no such correlation exists, forecasts combined using artificial neural networks are superior.
description: Les auteurs de l'étude évaluent les méthodes linéaires et non linéaires de combinaison des prévisions. Entre autres formules de pondération non linéaires, ils proposent une technique d'estimation non paramétrique par la méthode du noyau qui offre une souplesse maximale en matière de pondération. Afin de comparer l'efficacité de différentes formules de pondération, ils procèdent à une simulation de Monte-Carlo. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les méthodes de combinaison non linéaires sont supérieures aux autres dans le cas de tous les scénarios envisagés. Lorsque les erreurs de prévision sont corrélées d'un modèle à l'autre, c'est la formule de pondération non paramétrique qui produit les erreurs quadratiques moyennes les plus faibles. Si les erreurs ne sont pas corrélées, les prévisions combinées à l'aide de réseaux neuronaux artificiels s'avèrent les meilleures.

description: The advancement of machine learning algorithms has opened a wide scope for vibration-based SHM (Structural Health Monitoring). Vibration-based SHM is based on the fact that damage will alter the dynamic properties viz., structural response, frequencies, mode shapes, etc of the structure. The responses measured using sensors, which are high dimensional in nature, can be intelligently analyzed using machine learning techniques for damage assessment. Neural networks employing multilayer architectures are expressive models capable of capturing complex relationships between input-output pairs but do not account for uncertainty in network outputs. A BNN (Bayesian Neural Network) refers to extending standard networks with posterior inference. It is a neural network with a prior distribution on its weights. Deep learning architectures like CNN (Convolutional neural network) and LSTM(Long Short Term Memory) are good candidates for representation learning from high dimensional data. The advantage of using CNN over multi-layer neural networks is that they are good feature extractors as well as classifiers, which eliminates the need for generating hand-engineered features. LSTM networks are mainly used for sequence modeling. This paper presents both a Bayesian multi-layer perceptron and deep learning-based approach for damage detection and location identification in beam-like structures. Raw frequency response data simulated using finite element analysis is fed as the input of the network. As part of this, frequency response was generated for a series of simulations in the cantilever beam involving different damage scenarios. This case study shows the effectiveness of the above approaches to predict bending rigidity with an acceptable error rate.

description: Recent experiments showed that the last, single channel conductance step in monatomic gold contacts exhibits significant fluctuations as a function of stretching. From simulations of a stretched gold nanowire linked to deformable tips, we determine the distribution of the bond lengths between atoms forming the nanocontact and analyze its influence on the electronic conductance within a simplified single channel approach. We show that the inhomogeneous distribution of bond lengths can explain the occurrence and the 5% magnitude of conductance fluctuations below the quantum conductance unit $g_{o}= 2e^2/h$.

description: This paper illustrates a model of predetermined pricing, where firms set a fixed schedule of nominal prices at the time of price readjustment, based on the work of Fischer (1977). This type of price-setting specification cannot produce any excess persistence in a fixed-duration model of staggered prices, but we show that with a probabilistic model of price adjustment, as in Calvo (1983), a predetermined pricing specification can produce excess persistence. Moreover, in response to a money shock, the aggregate dynamics are very similar to those under a specification of fixed prices, the assumption underlying most recent dynamic sticky-price models.
description: L'étude porte sur un modèle de préétablissement des prix qui s'inspire du travail de Fischer (1977) et dans le cadre duquel les entreprises, au moment de rajuster les prix, décident de leurs prix nominaux futurs pour différentes périodes. Un tel mode de détermination des prix ne peut produire une persistance excédentaire dans un modèle d'ajustement échelonné des prix sur une durée fixe, mais les auteurs démontrent qu'il peut le faire dans un modèle probabiliste d'ajustement des prix, comme celui de Calvo (1983). De plus, la dynamique globale consécutive à un choc monétaire est très semblable en régime de préétablissement des prix et en régime de fixité des prix (cette dernière hypothèse sous-tend les plus récents modèles dynamiques à prix rigides).

description: Complex networks as the World Wide Web, the web of human sexual contacts or criminal networks often do not have an engineered architecture but instead are self-organized by the actions of a large number of individuals. From these local interactions non-trivial global phenomena can emerge as small-world properties or scale-free degree distributions. A simple model for the evolution of acquaintance networks highlights the essential dynamical ingredients necessary to obtain such complex network structures. The model generates highly clustered networks with small average path lengths and scale-free as well as exponential degree distributions. It compares well with experimental data of social networks, as for example coauthorship networks in high energy physics.

title: L'effet de la richesse sur la consommation aux États-Unis
Creators: name: Desnoyers, Yanick
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2001

description: La forte augmentation de la richesse au cours de la deuxième moitié des années 1990 a généré l'équivalent d'un certain montant d'épargne et, du même coup, un glissement important du taux d'épargne des ménages. Dans la présente étude, l'auteur tente d'expliquer cette baisse importante du taux d'épargne observée depuis 1995. Pour ce faire, il utilise la méthodologie de King, Plosser, Stock et Watson (King et coll. 1991). Contrairement aux résultats obtenus par plusieurs autres études, les résultats de la présente montrent que l'effet de la richesse sur la consommation est de nature transitoire plutôt que permanente et qu'il s'estompe relativement vite. La méthodologie utilisée permet de prendre en compte l'endogénéité des variables du modèle, tout en identifiant la réaction de la consommation à des chocs permanents de revenu, de richesse boursière et de richesse immobilière. Elle permet également de calculer la propension marginale des ménages à consommer la richesse boursière, qui se situe aux environs de 5,8 %. Par conséquent, environ la moitié de la baisse du taux d'épargne observée à partir de 1995 s'expliquerait par la hausse impressionnante de la richesse boursière au cours de cette période. L'autre moitié, quant à elle, serait plutôt imputable à la hausse de la richesse immobilière et de la propension marginale à consommer le revenu.
description: The substantial growth in wealth over the course of the second half of the 1990s generated the equivalent of a certain level of savings, while simultaneously causing household savings rates to fall significantly. The author seeks to explain this decline in savings, observed since 1995, using the methodology developed by King, Plosser, Stock, and Watson (1991). In contrast to the results obtained in a number of other studies, those presented here demonstrate that the wealth effect on consumption is transitional rather than permanent, dissipating quite rapidly. The methodology allows the author to account for the endogeneity of the model's variables, while also identifying the reaction of consumption to permanent shocks to income, stock wealth, and housing wealth. It further allows the author to compute the marginal propensity of households to consume from stock wealth, which turns out to be about 5.8 per cent. Consequently, about half of the fall in the savings rate observed since 1995 can be explained by the significant increase in stock wealth during this period. The other half is attributable to the increase in housing wealth and in the marginal propensity to consume from income.
Knowledge-guided Text Structuring in Clinical Trials

description: Clinical trial records are variable resources or the analysis of patients and diseases. Information extraction from free text such as eligibility criteria and summary of results and conclusions in clinical trials would better support computer-based eligibility query formulation and electronic patient screening. Previous research has focused on extracting information from eligibility criteria, with usually a single pair of medical entity and attribute, but seldom considering other kinds of free text with multiple entities, attributes and relations that are more complex for parsing. In this paper, we propose a knowledge-guided text structuring framework with an automatically generated knowledge base as training corpus and word dependency relations as context information to transfer free text into formal, computer-interpretable representations. Experimental results show that our method can achieve overall high precision and recall, demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.
Design and Engineering of a Theatre Façade in Vlaardingen

Year: 2010

description: In 2004/2005 a design of a theatre extension in Vlaardingen, ‘de Stadsgehoorzaal’ was made by architect Cees Spanjers, Mick Eekhout and Octatube Engineering. This façade contains the lobby at the first floor. The façade had to obtain a characteristic design in the townscape. The structure of roof and floor in steel enabled the façade to be independent. However, the architect required a solution where the visually lightweight structure would be independent and wrapped around both left and right corner. This wrapping caused interesting problems which were solved by a tubular frame structure on top, bottom and both ends and a fish belly truss at the both corners. In doing so the glass façade could obtain an extreme lightweight composition.

title: Affine Term-Structure Models: Theory and Implementation
Creators: name: Bolder, David
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2001

description: Affine models describe the stylized time-series properties of the term structure of interest rates in a reasonable manner, they generalize relatively easily to higher dimensions, and a vast academic literature exists relating to their implementation. This combination of characteristics makes the affine class a natural introductory point for modelling interest rate dynamics. The author summarizes and synthesizes the theoretical and practical specifics relating to this analytically attractive class of models. This summary is accomplished in a self-contained manner with sufficient detail so that relatively few technical points will be left for the reader to ponder. As such, this paper represents a first step towards advancing the Bank of Canada's research agenda in this area, with a view to using these models to assist with practical debt and risk-management problems currently under study.
description: Il existe actuellement une abondante littérature sur les modèles affines, qui décrivent assez bien les propriétés en séries temporelles de la structure à terme des taux d'intérêt et permettent, d'une façon relativement simple, de généraliser les équations multidimensionnelles. Ces caractéristiques des modèles affines en font un bon point de départ pour la modélisation des propriétés dynamiques des taux d'intérêt. La présente étude a pour but de présenter une synthèse, à la fois théorique et pratique, des modèles affines, fort attrayants du point de vue analytique. L'auteur traite en profondeur le sujet et laisse peu de points techniques en suspens. Avec cette publication, la Banque fait un premier pas vers l'utilisation de ces modèles aux fins du règlement des problèmes pratiques sur lesquels elle se penche présentement dans les domaines de la gestion du risque et de la dette.

title: Implications of Uncertainty about Long-Run Inflation and the Price Level
Creators: name: Stuber, Gerald
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2001

description: This paper surveys recent developments in the theoretical and empirical literature on the economic implications of uncertainty about the longer-term outlook for inflation. In particular, the linkages between inflation, long-run inflation uncertainty, and aggregate economic activity in industrial economies have become considerably better understood during the past decade. In the case of Canada, there is evidence that uncertainty about long-run inflation fell considerably between the high-inflation period of the 1970s and early 1980s and the subsequent moderate-inflation period, and decreased still further in the low-inflation period that has been evident since the early 1990s. As a result, both businesses and households have increasingly used longer-term financial instruments to meet their financing needs over the past two decades. In general, recent empirical work for Canada and elsewhere considerably strengthens the view that reductions in long-run inflation uncertainty can have beneficial effects on financial markets, capital spending, and ultimately aggregate levels of economic activity. Recent theoretical developments have improved our understanding of why this is so.
description: L'auteur passe en revue les travaux théoriques et empiriques qui ont récemment été consacrés aux conséquences économiques de l'incertitude entourant les perspectives à long terme en matière d'inflation. Au cours de la dernière décennie, des progrès importants ont été accomplis dans la compréhension des liens entre l'inflation, l'incertitude liée à celle-ci en longue période et l'activité économique dans les économies industrielles. Au Canada, il semble bien que cette incertitude ait beaucoup diminué entre la période de forte inflation observée durant les années 1970 et au début des années 1980 et la période subséquente d'inflation modérée, et qu'elle se soit atténuée encore au cours de la période de faible inflation amorcée au début des années 1990. Aussi les entreprises et les ménages ont-ils de plus en plus recours au financement à long terme depuis deux décennies. Dans l'ensemble, les études empiriques ayant porté récemment sur le Canada et d'autres pays confortent le point de vue selon lequel une baisse de l'incertitude entourant l'inflation à long terme peut avoir des retombées bénéfiques sur les marchés financiers, sur les investissements et, au bout du compte, sur le niveau de l'activité économique. Grâce aux progrès récents de la théorie, nous comprenons mieux aujourd'hui les différents facteurs à l'oeuvre.
Memory effects in nonlinear transport: kinetic equations and ratchet devices

description: We present a new method to derive kinetic equations for systems undergoing non-linear transport in the presence of memory effects. In the framework of mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamics, we derive a generalized Fokker-Planck equation incorporating memory effects through time-dependent coefficients. As applications, we first discuss the non-Markovian dynamics of anomalous diffusion in a potential, analyzing the validity of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. In a second application, we propose a new ratchet mechanism in which the periodic driving acting on the particle is induced by the Onsager coupling of the diffusion current with an oscillating thermodynamic force.
