En route to realistic sustainable structural fiber-reinforced polymers in a circular economy
Cela va sans dire : guide génial pour un doctorat de génie
RÉSUMÉ: On ne devrait pas avoir besoin d’un doctorat pour être capable d’en faire un. En début de parcours, le chemin peut sembler déroutant pour le novice, même si pour le comité de thèse, cela va sans dire. Caroline Boudoux, professeure et entrepreneure accomplie, propose un guide démystifiant les défis – parfois intimidants, parfois mondains et parfois inattendus – de la poursuite d’un doctorat. Dans Cela va sans dire, elle met à profit sa vaste expérience en tant que directrice, mentore et, il n’y a pas si longtemps, doctorante au Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) et postdoctorante à Polytechnique Paris (l’X) afin de partager le savoir-faire et la confiance nécessaires pour réussir au doctorat. Avec une touche d’humour, l’autrice aborde les aspects contemporains du doctorat en offrant : ·une description détaillée de l’aventure doctorale : le parcours et les jalons, de l’admission à la soutenance; ·des astuces de pro sur la gestion d’un projet doctoral, du temps et des priorités; des conseils pratiques sur la rédaction scientifique de la proposition et de la dissertation, sur l’éthique et sur la propriété intellectuelle; ·des réflexions sur les préoccupations personnelles telles que les attentes, les biais inconscients, le syndrome de l’imposteur et la gestion du stress. Du banal au métaphysique, ce guide convivial présente les outils nécessaires pour réussir au doctorat, de manière opportune, pleinement informée et résolument tournée vers l’avenir
Modulation-transfer-function analysis for optical fiber bundle–based superresolution imaging systems
Data repository for the paper: Sharp front tracking with geometric interface reconstruction
ABSTRACT: This repository consists of the results data for the paper "Sharp front tracking with geometric interface reconstruction" by Christian Gorges, Fabien Evrard, Robert Chiodi, Berend van Wachem and Fabian Denner. The simulation results stored in this repository have the following data format: .txt files consisting the raw data used for the plots in the results chapter of the paper .pvtu and .vtu files containing the front mesh data for the rising bubble simulations (Paraview is an exemplary software to view the front mesh data) .py files containing python scripts serving as examples on how to use and plot the raw data of the .txt file
Branch-price-and-cut for the electric vehicle routing problem with heterogeneous recharging technologies and nonlinear recharging functions
ABSTRACT: As electric vehicles become increasingly prevalent, effective planning of their use becomes paramount. The electric vehicle routing problem, characterized by limited driving range and the need for recharging, poses unique challenges compared with traditional vehicle routing problems. This paper proposes a branch-price-and-cut solution method tailored for the electric vehicle routing problem with time windows, heterogeneous recharging technologies, and nonlinear charging functions (E-VRPTW-NL). The methodology differs from previous methods proposed in the literature by handling nonlinear recharging functions in the pricing problem. The pricing problem is solved by a bidirectional labeling algorithm that efficiently handles the complex interdependency between time and state of charge during recharge scheduling. The proposed solution method is tested on both benchmark instances from the literature as well as new instances. Tests show that the solution method is competitive with well-known solution methods from the literature on simpler variants of the problem. The computational results also indicate that the proposed method can solve new E-VRPTW-NL instances with up to 100 customers and 21 recharge locations within one hour. Further analysis explores how simplifying the modeling of the recharging process affects solution feasibility and cost. The results show that keeping the heterogeneity of the recharging functions is crucial, whereas simplifying the shape of each recharging function has limited impact
