Bézier curves are indispensable for geometric modelling and computer graphics. They have numerous favourable properties and provide the user with intuitive tools for editing the shape of a parametric polynomial curve. Even more control and flexibility can be achieved by associating a shape parameter with each control point and considering rational Bézier curves, which comes with the...

Over the past 10 years, numerous scandals involving personal data shocked the world. In 2013, the whistle blower Edward Snowden came forward and disclosed various worldwide government surveillance programs (Jill Lepore, 2019). In 2018 the Cambridge Analytica scandal erupted, revealing that the so-called behavior changing agency had without consent harvested the personal data of millions of...

Both in the field of argumentation and in studies on conflict mediation, sufficient common ground between parties in conflict is considered a prerequisite for reasonable and sustainable resolutions. Using a two-part structure, this doctoral dissertation focuses on how workplace mediators can broaden and strengthen the common ground between the parties through their communicative interventions....

Short Abstract Sympathy is often considered to be a pro-attitude central to our social lives. I argue, however, that it is epistemically weak and thereby not effective on its own. We are in need of another attitude that combines the motivational aspect of sympathy with a more cognitive component that enables us to understand others. In this thesis, I argue that availability, a concept ...

In this work, we extend the so-called mapped bases or fake nodes approach to the barycentric rational interpolation of Floater–Hormann and to AAA approximants. More precisely, we focus on the reconstruction of discontinuous functions by the S-Gibbs algorithm introduced in De Marchi et al. (2020). Numerical tests show that it yields an accurate approximation of discontinuous functions.

This work focuses on optimizing node placement for time-of-flight-based wireless localization networks. Main motivation are critical safety applications. The first part of my thesis is an experimental study on in-tunnel vehicle localization. In- tunnel localization of vehicles is crucial for emergency management, especially for large trucks transporting dangerous goods such as inflammable...
