The software library preCICE allows to connect single physics solvers to perform mul-tiphysics cosimulations in a partitioned way. We interfaced preCICE with the multibody dynamics software MBDyn and assessed its performance with the set of well-known benchmarks proposed by Turek and Hron. The setup consists of a laminar incompressible flow around...

We consider the problem of detecting mitotic figures in breast cancer histology slides. We investigate whether the performance of state-of-the-art detection algorithms is comparable to the performance of humans, when they are compared under fair conditions: our test subjects were not previously exposed to the task, and were required to learn their...

In this paper we present an application of Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods in the field of robot control. The main objective is to analyze the behavior of batch RL algorithms when applied to a mobile robot of the kind called Mobile Wheeled Pendulum (MWP). In this paper we focus on the common problem in classical control theory of following a re...

The paper presents the application of a genetic algorithm to determine strategies for disassembly of products that have reached the end of their life. First, a general outline of the proposed methodology is provided and the features and specific properties of the genetic algorithm are described. Then an analysis of the algorithm's behaviour is carr...
