This paper presents our approach for laser-based local position tracking based on the data explored in a three-dimensional environmental model of an indoor environment. This algorithm is used to substitute the dead reckoning on a mobile robot to allow robust map generation and position dependent task triggering. The underlying concept of the local environmental model used for filtering of the s...

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether a fluoride modification of the titanium surface would have an effect on bone response after implantation. Materials and Methods: Titanium-oxide–blasted titanium implants with and without fluoride modification were investigated in a rabbit tibia model. Quantitative analysis of surface roughness, biomechanical interlocking, and ...

This thesis deals with statistical questions raised by the analysis of highdimensional genomic data for cancer research. In the first part, we study asymptotic properties of multiple testing procedures that aim at controlling the False Discovery Rate (FDR), that is, the expected False Discovery Proportion (FDP) among rejected hypotheses. We develop a versatile formalism to calculate the asympto...

Urban Heat Island Intensification during Hot Spells—The Case of Paris during the Summer of 2003

Heat waves are projected to become more frequent, longer-lasting, and intense. At the same time, urban areas are confronted with the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon, which adds to the thermal stress experienced during hot spells. Focusing on the Paris area during the hot summer of 2003, we investigated the influence of heat waves on UHI intensity, i.e., the urban-rural temperature contrast. ...
