Probed language-based assessments, where individuals describe their states using open-ended responses analyzed with Artificial Intelligence, have shown great promise for written language. But emotions are also conveyed through spoken language which might provide further assessment power to this method. Participants (N=645) were randomly assigned to watch a video clip of a church, shopping mall, or
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) are becoming increasingly popular in traction applications. PMSMs have gained popularity due to their efficiency, compactness and excellent features related to control. This is mainly because of the permanent magnet placement in the rotor, which negates any additional rotor excitation, hence reducing energy losses considerably. This makes them more effic
The introduction of electric heavy trucks will lead to new charging power requirements on the power grid. This study examines how much charging power is required for the public fast charging of a fully electrified long-haul truck fleet. Probabilistic truck charging profiles are created using agent-based simulations, based on fully representative long-haul goods transport data from the study area.
As a prominent category of side-channel attacks (SCAs), plaintext-checking (PC) oracle-based SCAs offer the advantages of generality and operational simplicity on a targeted device. At TCHES 2023, Rajendran et al. and Tanaka et al. independently proposed the multiple-valued (MV) PC oracle, significantly reducing the required number of queries (a.k.a., traces) in the PC oracle. However, in practice
We introduce Thalassa, a framework designed to convert nonlinear systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) with a time-like component into tensor programs that solve these equations. These programs can run on GPUs as well as machine learning (ML) acceleration hardware, enabling scientific computing fields such as computational fluid dynamics, astrophysics, mechanics and biology to utilize a
Quadruped robots are currently a widespread platform for robotics research, thanks to powerful Reinforcement Learning controllers and the availability of cheap and robust commercial platforms. However, to broaden the adoption of the technology in the real world, we require robust navigation stacks relying only on low-cost sensors such as depth cameras. This paper presents a first step towards a ro
This study investigates the incentives and barriers influencing AI ethics adoption in unregulated environments, drawing on semi‐structured interviews with AI professionals in Bangladesh. Our findings reveal that external pressures, such as international client requirements, drive companies to implement ethical measures, yielding both economic benefits and enhanced reputation. Conversely, tight dea
Post-compression of (sub)-picosecond laser pulses down to sub-100 fs durations has become a standard approach for high-peak-power sources at a high average power [1]. Here, we propose a new post-compression geometry suited for extreme temporal compression of energetic narrowband lasers, such as diode or electrically pumped four-level systems which can deliver kW-average powers [2], but typically e
