Lagrangian finite element model for the 3D simulation of glass forming processes
Abstract
We propose here a numerical model for a three-dimensional simulation of glass forming processes. Using the basic philosophy of the Particle Finite Element method (PFEM), we introduce several new features adapting the strategy to suit the problem of interest. A modified fractional [...]

A Framework for BPMS Performance and Cost Evaluation on the Cloud
Abstract
International audience; In this paper, we describe a framework that allows to automate and repeat business process execution on different cloud configurations. We present how and why the different components of the experimentation pipeline-like Ansible, Docker and Jenkins-have been [...]- 1

Performance and Efficiency of High-speed Rail Systems
Abstract
In their search to optimize the utilization of high-speed rail systems governments and railway companies may benefit from good practices in the rest of the world. Benchmarking of these systems in operation may give guidance to best practices in this sector to learn from. This study [...]

PipeComp, a general framework for the evaluation of computational pipelines, reveals performant single cell RNA-seq preprocessing tools
Abstract
We present pipeComp ( https://github.com/plger/pipeComp ), a flexible R framework for pipeline comparison handling interactions between analysis steps and relying on multi-level evaluation metrics. We apply it to the benchmark of single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis pipelines using [...]- 5

Lifting Economic Sanctions on Iran: Global Effects and Strategic Responses
Abstract
This paper uses a global general equilibrium simulation model to quantify the effects of lifting economic sanctions on Iran with and without strategic responses. Iran benefits the most, with average per capita welfare gains ranging from close to 3 percent, in the case when Iran's [...]- 3

Transport infrastructure and welfare an application to nigeria
Abstract
Transport infrastructure is deemed to be central to development and consumes a large fraction of the development assistance envelope. Yet there is debate about the economic impact of road projects. This paper proposes an approach to assess the differential development impacts of alternative [...]- 2
