Exploiting Reverse Correlation for the Generation of Virtual Characters from Personality Traits

Fabrizio Nunnari, Alexis Heloir

Judging from appearance, most people assign personality traits to virtual characters. This paper presents a platform capable of generating online Reverse Correlation experiments for studying the relations between the appearance of virtual characters and their assumed personality. The method used by…

Enhanced precision of ankle torque measure with an open-unit dynamometer mounted with a 3D force-torque sensor

Anis Toumi, Sebastien Leteneur, Christophe Gillet, Jean-François Debril, Nicolas Decoufour, Franck Barbier, Jennifer Jakobi, Emilie Simoneau-Buessinger

Purpose: Many studies have focused on maximum torque exerted by ankle joint muscles during plantar flexion. While strength parameters are typically measured with isokinetic or isolated ankle dynamometers, these devices often present substantial limitations for the measurement of torque because they…

Experimental and theoretical investigation of Stirling engine heater: Parametrical optimization

Ramla Gheith, Houda Hachem, Fethi Aloui, Sassi Ben Nasrallah

The aim of this work is to optimize γ Stirling engine performances with a special care given to the heater. This latter consists of 20 tubes in order to increase the exchange area between the working gas and the hot source. Different parameters were chosen to evaluate numerically and experimentally…

Prostate contours delineation using interactive directional active contours model and parametric shape prior model

Foued Derraz, Gérard Forzy, Arnaud Delebarre, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed, Mourad Oussalah, Laurent Peyrodie, Sebastien Verclytte

Prostate contours delineation on Magnetic Resonance (MR) images is a challenging and important task in medical imaging with applications of guiding biopsy, surgery and therapy. While a fully automated method is highly desired for this application, it can be a very difficult task due to the…

Analytic Modeling of the Coexistence of IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11 in Saturation Conditions

Eugene David Ngangue Ndih, Soumaya Cherkaoui, Iyad Dayoub

With the increasing deployment of smart wireless devices using different technologies such as IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11 which operate in the same frequency band, it becomes urgent to deeply understand the impact of this coexistence on the performance of the involved networks. We present in this…

Multi-objective variable neighborhood search: an application to combinatorial optimization problems

Abraham Duarte, Juan Pantrigo, Eduardo G Pardo, Nenad Mladenovic

Solutions to real-life optimization problems usually have to be evaluated con-sidering multiple conflicting objectives. These kind of problems, known as multi-objectiveoptimization problems, have been mainly solved in the past by using evolutionary algo-rithms. In this paper, we explore the…

Study of the parameters and characteristics of flat heat pipe with nanofluids subjected to periodic heat load on its performance

Hamdy Hassan, Souad Harmand

A study is presented on the transient cooling of an electronic component by flat heat pipe (FHP) with nanofluid. The electronic component has periodic power output of maximum value 400 W and works for 12.8 s. The effects of Cu, CuO and Al2O3 nanoparticles on the heat pipe performance are…

Hardware resource utilization optimization in FPGA-based Heterogeneous MPSoC architectures

Bouthaina Dammak Masmoudi, Mouna Baklouti, Rachid Benmansour, Smail Niar, Mohamed Abid

Next generation FPGA circuits will allow the integration of dozens of hard and soft cores as well as dedicated accelerators in the same chip. These Heterogeneous Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (Ht-MPSoC) architectures will allow the design of very complex System-on-Chips (SoC) on a single FPGA chip…

New heuristic for harmonic means clustering

Emilio Carrizosa, Abdulrahman Al-Guwaizani, Pierre Hansen, Nenad Mladenovic

It is well known that some local search heuristics for K-clustering problems, such as k-means heuristic for minimum sum-of-squares clustering occasionally stop at a solution with a smaller number of clusters than the desired number K. Such solutions are called degenerate. In this paper, we reveal…
