HierMUD: Hierarchical Multi-task Unsupervised Domain Adaptation between Bridges for Drive-by Damage Diagnosis [PDF]
Monitoring bridge health using vibrations of drive-by vehicles has various benefits, such as no need for directly installing and maintaining sensors on the bridge. However, many of the existing drive-by monitoring approaches are based on supervised learning models that require labeled data from every bridge of interest, which is expensive and time ...

Bridge and transport network resilience – a perspective
Bridges and critical transport infrastructure are primary assets and systems that underpin human mobility and activities. Loss of bridge functionality has consequences on entire transport networks, which are also interconnected with other networks. Cascading events then unfold in the entire system of systems, leading to significant economic losses and

Arguably Adequate Aqueduct Algorithm: Crossing A Bridge-Less Block-Chain Chasm [PDF]
We consider the problem of being a cross-chain wealth management platform with deposits, redemptions and investment assets across multiple networks. We discuss the need for blockchain bridges to facilitates fund flows across platforms. We point out several issues with existing bridges. We develop an algorithm - tailored to overcome current constraints -

Bridging Perturbative Expansions with Tensor Networks [PDF]
We demonstrate that perturbative expansions for quantum many-body systems can be rephrased in terms of tensor networks, thereby providing a natural framework for interpolating perturbative expansions across a quantum phase transition. This approach leads to classes of tensor-network states parametrized by few parameters with a clear physical meaning ...

A Review of the Network Arch Bridge
The network arch bridge (NAB) is a new structural form of arch bridge that was devised 60 years ago by the Norwegian engineer Per Tveit, who is now prof. dr. docent emeritus at the University of Agder, Norway. The network arch is a tied-arch (also known as a bowstring-arch) bridge that combines the benefits of tied-arch bridges and trusses in a single ...

The behavior of capillary suspensions at diverse length scales: from single capillary bridges to bulk [PDF]
Liquid-liquid-solid systems are becoming increasingly common in everyday life with many possible applications. Here, we focus on a special case of such liquid-liquid-solid systems, namely, capillary suspensions. These capillary suspensions originate from particles that form a network based on capillary forces and are typically composed of solids in a ...
