  Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 2018, 75 (1). <p>Background/aim The daily dose of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) received by the human body depends on source, use, and body characteristics. We developed a model capable of estimating total RF-EMF dose (J/kg) for 64 body tissues as well as the contribution of specific sources to total dose based on personal characteristics, source characteristics, and scenarios of use.</p> <p> </p> <p>Methods The Integrated Exposure Model (IEM) uses personal characteristics and scenarios of use to estimate daily RF-EMF dose from mobile phones, DECT phones, tablets, body area networks, laptops, on/near body devices, smartwatches, virtual reality headsets, WiFi routers, and far field sources. Specific absorption rates (SAR) in various tissues were calculated for each source using transfer algorithms based on source and body characteristics. These were then adjusted for scenarios of use. Lastly, the model calculated the integrative dose from all sources combined and the relative contribution of each source. To estimate population exposure levels, we used data from an online survey on use of mobile communication devices deployed in four countries (France, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland).</p> <p> </p> <p>Results The online survey resulted in a dataset of 1768 participants, with a mean age of 52 years. Preliminary results indicate an average whole body dose of 0.15 J/kg per day, and an average whole brain dose of 0.09 J/kg per day. Women tended to have slightly higher doses than men, particularly in the youngest age group, due to higher reported use of mobile phones for voice and data. Source specific contribution varied depending on tissue. For the brain, the highest contribution (32%) came from mobile phones. Phone, tablet, and WiFi use together account for 91% of total brain dose. For the whole body: phone data use, WiFi, tablet, and laptop use accounted for 97% of the average total dose in our population.</p> <p> </p> <p>Conclusion We developed a model capable of estimating integrative RF-EMF dose from both current and novel devices. Using survey data on device use we were able to estimate average whole brain (0.09 J/kg) and average whole body (0.15 J/kg) dose. Device output powers in various scenarios of use were found to strongly influence model results.</p>

The experimental methods can be broadly categorized into those that rate and rank stimuli. Although ranking directly provides an order of stimuli rather than a continuous measure of quality, the experimental data can be converted using scaling methods into an interval scale, similar to that provided by rating methods. In this paper, we compare the results collected in a rating (mean opinion scores) experiment to the scaled results of a pairwise comparison experiment, the most common ranking method. We find a strong linear relationship between results of both methods, which, however, differs between content. To improve the relationship and unify the scale, we extend the experiment to include cross-content comparisons. We find that the cross-content comparisons reduce the confidence intervals for pairwise comparison results, but also improve the relationship with mean opinion scores.

• Managing 'proto-ecosystems' - two smart mobility case studies
  
  • Marcocchia Giulia

  International Journal of Automotive Technology and Management, Inderscience, 2018, 18 (3), pp.209-228. This paper considers how ecosystem-based research projects can be managed for a successful deployment of systemic and disruptive innovation. Such projects are defined as assignments in which heterogeneous organisations must invest upfront, aiming at co-constructing a systemic offer with shared interest, shared uncertainty and high economic, environmental and social impacts. Innovation management, ecosystem, and public-private partnership literatures have been investigated, as well as two European Commission funded research projects aimed at smart mobility infrastructure development. Results show these projects are both critical and disappointing for each player. We explain this contradiction of value perception showing that partners need such ecosystem projects to go forward and update their competences and roadmaps, but that the observed project management approach hampers the collectively built learning and the evolution of the strategic agenda of each partner. In conclusion, we define the concept of proto-ecosystem as an intermediary 'management object' for innovation management, and point out implications to manage such projects in order to unfold their whole potential.

  , 2018, pp.105-119. In the context of mathematical and computational representations of musical structures, we propose algebraic models for formalizing and understanding the harmonic forms underlying musical compositions. These models make use of ideas and notions belonging to two algebraic approaches: Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and Mathematical Morphology (MM). Concept lattices are built from interval structures whereas mathematical morphology operators are subsequently defined upon them. Special equivalence relations preserving the ordering structure of the lattice are introduced in order to define musically relevant quotient lattices modulo congruences. We show that the derived descrip-tors are well adapted for music analysis by taking as a case study Ligeti's String Quartet No. 2. (10.1007/978-3-319-91379-7_9)

  Proceedings of Machine Learning Research, PMLR, 2018, 95, pp.694-709. Originally motivated by default risk management applications, this paper investigates a novel problem, referred to as the profitable bandit problem here. At each step, an agent chooses a subset of the K ≥ 1 possible actions. For each action chosen, she then respectively pays and receives the sum of a random number of costs and rewards. Her objective is to maximize her cumulated profit. We adapt and study three well-known strategies in this purpose, that were proved to be most efficient in other settings: kl-UCB, Bayes-UCB and Thompson Sampling. For each of them, we prove a finite time regret bound which, together with a lower bound we obtain as well, establishes asymptotic optimality in some cases. Our goal is also to compare these three strategies from a theoretical and empirical perspective both at the same time. We give simple, self-contained proofs that emphasize their similarities, as well as their differences. While both Bayesian strategies are automatically adapted to the geometry of information, the numerical experiments carried out show a slight advantage for Thompson Sampling in practice.

• Une approche par patchs, multi-atlas, itérative pour la segmentation du cortex cérébral en IRM néonatale

  , 2018. L’analyse des structures cérébrales chez le nouveau-né constitue un enjeu de santé majeur, notamment en cas de prématurité, afin de disposer d’informations prédictives sur le développement de l’enfant. Le cortex est, en particulier, une structure d’intérêt, observable en IRM (imagerie par résonance magnétique). Les données IRM néonatales présentent toutefois des spécificités qui les rendent complexes à traiter. Dans ce contexte, les approches multi-atlas constituent une stratégie efficace, tirant parti de données traitées préalablement. La méthode proposée dans cet article repose sur une telle stratégie multi-atlas. Elle s’appuie notamment sur deux paradigmes : l’utilisation d’un modèle non local à base de patchs, et l’utilisation d’un schéma d’optimisation itératif. L’usage couplé de ces deux concepts permet notamment de considérer des patchs liés à l’image ainsi qu’à sa segmentation courante. Cette stratégie, comparée à de précédentes méthodes multi-atlas de la littérature, aboutit à des résultats de segmentation corticale robustes.

• A Smooth Primal-Dual Optimization Framework for Nonsmooth Composite Minimization

  SIAM Journal on Optimization, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018, 28 (1), pp.96-134. We propose a new first-order primal-dual optimization framework for a convex optimization template with broad applications. Our optimization algorithms feature optimal convergence guarantees under a variety of common structure assumptions on the problem template. Our analysis relies on a novel combination of three classic ideas applied to the primal-dual gap function: smoothing, acceleration, and homotopy. The algorithms due to the new approach achieve the best known convergence rate results, in particular when the template consists of only non-smooth functions. We also outline a restart strategy for the acceleration to significantly enhance the practical performance. We demonstrate relations with the augmented Lagrangian method and show how to exploit the strongly convex objectives with rigorous convergence rate guarantees. We provide numerical evidence with two examples and illustrate that the new methods can outperform the state-of-the-art, including Chambolle-Pock, and the alternating direction method-of-multipliers algorithms.
