Generative Adversarial Networks for face generation: A survey Just Accepted
Recently, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have received enormous progress, which makes them able to learn complex data distributions in particular faces. More and more efficient GAN architectures have been designed and proposed to learn the different variations of faces, such as cross pose, age, expression and style. These GAN based approaches need to be reviewed, […]

Evaluation of the strain-based partitioning method for mixed-mode I+II fracture of bi-material cracks
The goal of this paper is to evaluate the strain-based partitioning method (SBM), an analytical method based on beam analysis, for the mixed-mode fracture characterization of asymmetric cracks. The fracture energy is calculated at the crack tip of mixed-mode bending (MMB) test with asymmetric geometry and asymmetric material parameters. The fracture energy obtained using SBM […]

A comparative study of semantic segmentation of omnidirectional images from a motorcycle perspective
The semantic segmentation of omnidirectional urban driving images is a research topic that has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers, because the use of such images in driving scenes is highly relevant. However, the case of motorized two-wheelers has not been treated yet. Since the dynamics of these vehicles are very diferent from those of […]

Fiscal cyclicality asymmetries and public debt: New evidence from panel endogenous threshold model
The purpose of this paper is to verify the role of public debt in the fiscal cyclical response for a sample of 19 OECD countries over the period 1980-2017 using the threshold model proposed by Seo and Shine (2016). We reveal first that throughout the cycle the crossing of a threshold estimated at 85% leads […]

Towards an Interoperable Approach for Modelling and Managing Smart Building Data: The Case of the CESI Smart Building Demonstrator
Buildings have a significant impact on energy consumption and carbon emissions. Smart buildings are deemed to play a crucial role in improving the energy performance of buildings and cities. Managing a smart building requires the modelling of data concerning smart systems and components. While there is a significant amount of research on optimising building energy […]

Stochastic program for disassembly lot-sizing under uncertain component refurbishing lead times
Planning disassembly operations for a given demand in components is challenging in practice because the quality of recovered components is very uncertain, and thus the duration of refurbishing operations is unpredictable. In this paper, we address the capacitated disassembly lot-sizing problems under uncertain refurbishing durations. More precisely, we consider a two-level disassembly system with a […]

Distributed reinforcement learning for the management of a smart grid interconnecting independent prosumers
In the context of an eco-responsible production and distribution of electrical energy at 2 the local scale of an urban territory, we consider a smart grid as a system interconnecting different 3 prosumers which all retain their decision-making autonomy and defend their own interests in a 4 comprehensive system which rules, accepted by all, encourage […]

Analyzing Short and Long run Causality Relationship among Public Spending, Renewable Energy Consumption, Non-renewable Energy Consumption and Economic Growth: Evidence from Eight of South Mediterranean Countries (SMCs)
This study aims to analyse the causal link in the short-run and long-run between economic growth, renewable energy, non-renewable energy and public spending in eight countries of the South Mediterranean Countries group during the 1980–2020 periods. Four steps are used: augmented Dickey-Fuller and Phillip Perron unit root tests to check the order of stationarity of […]

Hygrothermal performance of multilayer straw walls in different climates
Straw is becoming a promising alternative insulation material to improve the building energy performance because of its low cost, large availability as cereal waste, its good hygrothermal properties, and its low embodied energy. The goal of this paper is to assess the hygrothermal performance of multi-layered straw walls with different boundary conditions. The study consists […]

Building Thermal-Network Models: A Comparative Analysis, Recommendations, and Perspectives
The development of smart buildings, as well as the great need for energy demand reduction, has renewed interest in building energy demand prediction. Intelligent controllers are a solution for optimizing building energy consumption while maintaining indoor comfort. The controller efficiency on the other hand, is mainly determined by the prediction of thermal behavior from building […]

Fog-supported Low Latency Monitoring of System Disruptions in Industry 4.0: A Federated Learning Approach
In recent years, industrial alarm systems have undergone a considerable development, in terms of accuracy, complexity of their presentation and their management, and system reliability. However, alarm management systems suffer generally from the presence of poorly configured alerts, as well as numerous nuisance alarms (i.e., noise) or even alarm flooding events. This requires an immediate […]

BIM Data Flow Architecture with AR/VR Technologies: Associated Use Cases in Architecture, Engineering and Construction
The construction of a building comprises several phases and involves many stakeholders. As projects have become more and more complex, the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology was proposed to unify projects around a Digital Twin of the information necessary for collaboration. In recent years, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have shown their relevance […]
