Micro-Electrode with Fast Mass Transport for Enhancing Selectivity of Carbonaceous Products in Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Michael Graetzel, Mingkui Wang, Jingshan Luo, Dan Ren

During electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction on copper electrodes in an aqueous electrolyte, one of the key challenges is the competition between hydrogen evolution and CO2 reduction, especially under large current density. Here, micro-electrodes ...

Exploring causalities between modal habits, activity scheduling, and multi-day locational practices

Marc-Edouard Baptiste Grégoire Schultheiss

Despite raising awareness of sustainable behavior and considerable investments in the public transport network and active mobility infrastructure, car use remains the main practice for daily mobility in Switzerland. This work postulates that resistances to ...

Leveraging insurance customer data to characterize socioeconomic indicators of Swiss municipalities

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Emanuele Massaro

The availability of reliable socioeconomic data is critical for the design of urban policies and the implementation of location-based services; however, often, their temporal and geographical coverage remain scarce. We explore the potential for insurance c ...

Modelling transport time to trauma centres and 30-day mortality in road accidents in Switzerland: an exploratory study

Stéphane Joost

BACKGROUND: Rapid access to a trauma centre for severely injured road accident victims, conceptualised as the Golden Hour, links access time to definitive treatment within 1 hour of trauma with reduced risks of morbidity and mortality. Access times have no ...

A new rat model of creatine transporter deficiency reveals behavioral disorder and altered brain metabolism

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Dunja Simicic, Jocelin Grosse, Hirotaka Yamada

Creatine is an organic compound used as fast phosphate energy buffer to recycle ATP, important in tissues with high energy demand such as muscle or brain. Creatine is taken from the diet or endogenously synthetized by the enzymes AGAT and GAMT, and specifi ...

Turbulence in the scrape-off layer of double-null tokamak configurations

Carrie Fiona Beadle

Understanding the turbulent dynamics in the outermost region of the tokamak is essential to predict and control the heat and particle loads to the vessel wall, a crucial problem for the entire fusion program. In this thesis, the problem is approached via t ...

Dynamic control strategies for managing pedestrian flows

Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Pedestrians, like drivers, generally dislike congestion. This is true for most pedestrian environments: trains stations, airports, or shopping malls. Furthermore, pedestrian congestion also influences the attractiveness of public transportation networks. T ...
