    Experimental mechanical characterisation of masonry in existing buildings using NDT and MDT techniques 

    Cabané Cañas, Albert; Pelà, Luca; Roca Fabregat, Pedro (2025)

    The mechanical characterisation of existing brick masonry structures requires a strategic selection of testing methods to balance material preservation with the need for comprehensive data acquisition. Various tests provide ...

    De los microplásticos a los aditivos: la contaminación invisible de nuestros océanos 

    Trilla-Prieto, Núria; Garcia Garin, Odei (2025-12)

    ¿Qué magnitud ha adquirido la contaminación por plásticos en el medio marino? Además de los residuos flotantes y visibles, deben tenerse en cuenta los microplásticos y los aditivos químicos que intervienen en su fabricación. ...

    Recursive Difference Categories and Topos-Theoretic Universality 

    Ballús Santacana, Andreu (2025)

    We introduce a radically minimal categorical foundation for logic, semantics, and computation, built from a single generative axiom of recursive difference. From the null mnema M0 and iterated labeled extensions by D, we ...

    The firm logic of parallel lobbying: explaining why corporations lobby directly in addition to their associations 

    Albareda, Adrià; Coen, David; Saz-Carranza, Angel (2025-07-11)

    Firms lobby public institutions even when associations they are members of are lobbying those same institutions. This is what we conceptualise as ‘parallel lobbying’. Firms engage in parallel lobbying to monitor associations ...

    Where Did the Demand Go? Teaching Demand Censoring with the Newsvendor Challenge 

    Gijsbrechts, Joren; van Staden, Heletje (2025-05)

    The newsvendor model is widely used to teach decision making under uncertainty. Traditionally, analytical methods have been taught to determine the optimal order quantity that balances missed profit from ordering too few ...

    SORS/WomenInBSC: The science of science communication: climate change risks 

    Kause, Astrid (2025-03-20)

    Citizens need to make informed decisions about climate change and associated risks, such as changes in temperature, rainfall or hazards such as flooding. Scientific institutions, government agencies, or nongovernmental o ...

    SORS/WomenInBSC: OASIS, a community coupler for climate modelling 

    Valcke, Sophie (2025-01-21)

    The development of the OASIS coupler started in 1991 in CERFACS. At that time, it was used by two climate modelling groups in France to couple two different atmosphere models to one ocean model. 30 years later, i.e. in ...

    SORS: GPU@SAT: empowering edge computing for AI onboard satellites 

    Todaro, Giovanni (2025-02-21)

    In satellites, real-time processing often generates data that exceeds onboard computational capabilities. Traditionally, this data is transmitted to Earth for analysis. However, edge computing has shifted processing directly ...

    SORS: "Beyond self-reports: validating exogenous measures of news exposure through political learning" and "synthetic surveys for population insights" 

    Cardenal, Ana Sofía (2025-03-25)

    This presentation has a twofold objective. Substantively, we revisit a longstanding question using computational social science tools: Do people learn about politics through news exposure? To overcome the limitations of ...

    SORS: digital contact tracing and precision epidemiology: insights from a new tool to reduce and understand the transmission of respiratory pathogens 

    Ferretti, Luca (2025-02-21)

    Digital contact tracing is a new public health approach developed and deployed worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. Contact-tracing apps measure proximity and duration of close contacts, allowing individuals who have ...

    SORS: modern sensing and learning with machine learning 

    Kutz, Nathan (2025-02-17)

    Sensing is a universal task in science and engineering. Downstream tasks from sensing include learning dynamical models, inferring full state estimates of a system (system identification), control decisions, and forecasting. ...

    SORS: an integrated multiphysics approach to modeling and simulating the heart 

    Bucelli, Michele (2025-03-10)

    We present an integrated computational framework for the simula- tion of the cardiac function. The framework comprises models for cardiac elec- trophysiology, myocardial contraction and deformation, fluid dynamics, valve ...

    SORS: automated cross-architecture CARM modeling and application profiling 

    Morgado, José (2025-02-18)

    In recent years, HPC systems have become increasingly complex and heterogeneous, making application development and optimization challenging. To this respect, intuitive performance models like the Cache-aware Roofline Model ...

    SORS: advancing numerical simulations through load balancing and scalable data visualization 

    Pebay, Pierre (2025-02-04)

    Understanding the need, effects and implications of load-balancing in large-scale numerical simulations is crucial for optimizing performance and resource utilization. As computer simulations are scaling up, effective ...

    SORS: computer architecture research: moving the needle 

    Patt, Patt (2025-01-24)

    With Dennard Scaling gone, and Moore's Law almost gone, if computer performance is to continue to improve moving forward, more will be demanded of computer architects...and that means doing research that moves the needle. ...

    SORS/WomenInBSC: improving predictions by combining models into a supermodel 

    Schevenhoven, Francine J. (2025-03-13)

    To accelerate the skill of both short and long term predictions we combine state-of-the-art climate models and machine-learning based weather models into a ‘supermodel’, a novel form of physics-informed machine learning. ...
