Zahedi, M.Z. (author)Computation-in-Memory (CIM) is a promising alternative to traditional computing systems where the storage is conceptually separated fromthe computing units. Instead, the CIM paradigm aims to perform the computation where the data resides, alleviating the memory bottleneck and ultimately leading to higher energy efficiency and performance. From...doctoral thesis 2023

Balayn, A.M.A. (author)Machine learning (ML) is an artificial intelligence technology that has a great potential for being adopted in various sectors of activities. Yet, it is now also increasingly recognized as a hazardous technology. Failures in the outputs of an ML system might cause physical or social harms. Besides, the development and deployment of an ML system...doctoral thesis 2023

Delle Donne, C. (author)Computer networks have been one of the most revolutionary concepts and technologies of the last fifty years. Currently, it is arguably impossible to imagine a world without the internet. And yet, just five decades ago, hardly anybody knew what it even meant. Today, the first quantum computer networks are starting to take shape, along with the...doctoral thesis 2023

Machado Lima de Camargo, C. (author)As a result of climate change, sea level is changing all over the world at unprecedented rates. Sea-level change can have significant impacts on coastal communities, infrastructure and global economy, as most of the major cities are located near to or at the coast. Rising sea levels can lead to, for instance, more severe and more frequent...doctoral thesis 2023

Sabzehee, F. (author), Amiri Simkooei, A. (author), Iran Pour, S. (author), Vishwakarma, B.D. (author), Kerachian, R. (author)The Urmia lake in north-west Iran has dried up to perilously low levels in the past two decades. In this study, we investigate the drivers behind the decline in lake water level with the help of in-situ and remote sensing data. We use total water storage (TWS) changes from the gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) satellite mission....journal article 2023

Mohamed, Ahmed (author), Abdelrady, Ahmed (author), Alarifi, Saad S. (author), Othman, Abdullah (author)Because of climate change and human activity, North and Central Africa are experiencing a significant water shortage. Recent advancements in earth observation technologies have made widespread groundwater monitoring possible. To examine spatial and temporal mass fluctuations caused by groundwater variations in Chad, gravity solutions from the...journal article 2023

Sileryte, R. (author), Wandl, Alex (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)With circular economy being high on governmental agendas, there is an increasing request from governing bodies for circularity measurements. Yet, currently existing macro-level monitoring frameworks are widely criticized for not being able to inform the decision-making. The criticism includes, among others, a lack of consensus on...journal article 2023

Howard, Thomas (author), Driller, K.K. (author), Frier, William (author), Pacchierotti, Claudio (author), Marchal, Maud (author), Hartcher-O'Brien, J. (author)Ultrasound mid-air haptic (UMH) devices are a novel tool for haptic feedback, capable of providing localized vibrotactile stimuli to users at a distance. UMH applications largely rely on generating tactile shape outlines on the users' skin. Here we investigate how to achieve sensations of continuity or gaps within such two-dimensional curves...journal article 2023

Stocker, Volker (author), Lehr, William (author), Smaragdakis, G. (author)The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the ‘real’ world and substantially impacted the virtual world and thus the Internet ecosystem. It has caused a significant exogenous shock that offers a wealth of natural experiments and produced new data about broadband, clouds, and the Internet in times of crisis. In this chapter, we characterise and...book chapter 2023

Timmer, W.A. (author), Bak, Christian (author)This chapter focuses on airfoils for wind turbine blades and their characteristics. The use of panel codes such as XFOIL and RFOIL and CFD codes for the prediction of airfoil characteristics is briefly described. This chapter then discusses the requirements for wind turbine blade airfoils and the effect of leading edge roughness and Reynolds...book chapter 2023

Streibelt, Florian (author), Sattler, Patrick (author), Lichtblau, Franziska (author), Hernandez Ganan, C. (author), Feldmann, Anja (author), Gasser, Oliver (author), Fiebig, Tobias (author)DNS is one of the core building blocks of the Internet. In this paper, we investigate DNS resolution in a strict IPv6-only scenario and find that a substantial fraction of zones cannot be resolved. We point out, that the presence of an AAAA resource record for a zone’s nameserver does not necessarily imply that it is resolvable in an IPv6-only...conference paper 2023
