Explaining the socio-economic output of urban regions with a model combining urban scaling and polycentricity
(2024)Urban Scaling: Allometry in Urban Studies and Spatial ScienceUrban scaling theory and polycentric urban development are two well-known concepts that draw parallels between configurations and socio-economic conditions of urban regions. Both concepts, however, have some drawbacks, which could potentially be alleviated by combining them in a new model. In this study, income in urban regions in Switzerland is explained by combining the hierarchy of a region’s commuter network (i.e. indicator for ...Book Chapter -
Tasting and labeling meat substitute products can affect consumers’ product evaluations and preferences
(2024)Food Quality and PreferenceMoving towards plant-based diets and reducing meat consumption is key to achieving the Paris climate targets. One option for reducing meat consumption is replacing meat products with substitutes. In two field experiments, we tested how labeling and tasting experiences with substitutes affected omnivores’ evaluations of such products and investigated the latter's stated and revealed preferences regarding the consumption of meat substitutes ...Journal Article -
Smart rebar progress monitoring using 3D point cloud model
(2024)Expert Systems with ApplicationsCurrent rebar inspection practices in construction projects are manual in nature; hence, they are time-consuming. Rebar drawings are technical; therefore, the accuracy of inspection outcomes depends on the inspector's (supervisor or engineer) experience. In contrast, with the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution, the construction industry has also adopted a few technological solutions for rebar progress monitoring. However, most ...Journal Article -
Embedding loose spanning trees in 3-uniform hypergraphs
(2024)Journal of Combinatorial Theory. Series BIn 1995, Komlós, Sárközy and Szemerédi showed that every large n-vertex graph with minimum degree at least (1/2+γ)n contains all spanning trees of bounded degree. We consider a generalization of this result to loose spanning hypertrees in 3-graphs, that is, linear hypergraphs obtained by successively appending edges sharing a single vertex with a previous edge. We show that for all γ and Δ, and n large, every n-vertex 3-uniform hypergraph ...Journal Article -

Ensemble of surrogates in black-box-type engineering optimization: Recent advances and applications
(2024)Expert Systems with ApplicationsDue to its high efficiency, surrogate models have been extensively used in black -box -type engineering optimization problems. However, due to the nature of black -box functions, it is difficult to decide which surrogate model is the best for a given problem. In addition, it is difficult to accurately estimate the prediction accuracy of a surrogate on an expensive black -box function in advance. Because we cannot use many real expensive ...Review Article -
Impact of silt chemical composition on deflocculation and coagulation of clay-rich paste
(2024)Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering AspectsThis paper investigates the impact of the chemical composition of two silts, quartz and limestone, on the deflocculation/coagulation process for poured earth application. The driving mechanisms behind the evolution of the rheological behavior after the addition of sodium hexametaphosphate are highlighted through zeta potential measurementand the chemical changes with ICP-OES and 31P MAS NMR spectroscopy. The first results show that adding ...Journal Article -
Cascade: CPU Fuzzing via Intricate Program Generation
(2024)Generating interesting test cases for CPU fuzzing is akin to generating programs that exercise unusual states inside the CPU. The performance of CPU fuzzing is heavily influenced by the quality of these programs and by the overhead of bug detection. Our analysis of existing state-of-the-art CPU fuzzers shows that they generate programs that are either overly simple or execute a small fraction of their instructions due to invalid control ...Conference Paper -
Morphologically reconfigurable magnetic micropillar arrays using acoustic streaming for particle capture and droplet manipulation
(2024)Sensors and Actuators B: ChemicalThe accurate and efficient manipulation of particles and droplets is crucial for the fields of disease diagnosis, target drug delivery, and sample purification, specific microstructure-based particle and droplet manipulation have been widely utilized in bioassays. However, current techniques are mainly based on the fixed microstructures, which is extremely difficult to achieve dynamic modulation by adjusting microstructure morphology and ...Journal Article
