We report on experimental results where a temporal intensity profile presenting some of the main signatures of the Peregrine soliton (PS) is observed. However, the emergence of a highly peaked structure over a continuous background in a normally dispersive fiber cannot be linked to any PS dynamics and is mainly ascribed to the impact of Brillouin b...
In this paper, we propose DiFF-RF, an ensemble approach composed of random partitioning binary trees to detect point-wise and collective (as well as contextual) anomalies. Thanks to a distance-based paradigm used at the leaves of the trees, this semi-supervised approach solves a drawback that has been identified in the isolation forest (IF) algorit...
The Continuous Spontaneous Localisation (CSL) model solves the measurement problem of standard quantum mechanics, by coupling the mass density of a quantum system to a white-noise field. Since the mass density is not uniquely defined in general relativity, this model is ambiguous when applied to cosmology. We however show that most natural choices ...
Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) offers significant potential to address a variety of needs in bridge design, construction, and performance enhancement. Bridge owners have shown willingness to embrace novel solutions that could address specific challenges related to the cost, speed of construction, durability, and service life of their project...

Background Research on achievement goal orientations in sport has typically relied on the use of variable-centered approaches that tend to overlook population heterogeneity. In this study, we used a person-centered approach to identify subgroups of competitive tennis players according to unique combinations of achievement goal orientations and test...

Interpretability is becoming increasingly important in predictive model analysis. Unfortunately, as mentioned by many authors, there is still no consensus on that idea. The aim of this article is to propose a rigorous mathematical definition of the concept of interpretability, allowing fair comparisons between any rule-based algorithms. This defini...
The evaluation of the sub-saturation nuclear equation of state at finite temperature requires a proper state counting of the internal partition sum of nuclei which are immersed in the background of their continuum states. This classical statistical problem is addressed within the self-consistent mean-field approximation, which naturally accounts fo...
Shape optimization based on Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) has gained popularity in recent years. Performing shape optimization directly over parameters defining the CAD geometry, such as for example the control points of a spline parametrization, opens up the prospect of seamless integration of a shape optimization step into the CAD workflow. One of ...
