Pore size estimation in axon-mimicking microfibers with diffusion-relaxation MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Muhamed Barakovic, Marco Pizzolato

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate two distinct approaches for fiber radius estimation using diffusion-relaxation MRI data acquired in biomimetic microfiber phantoms that mimic hollow axons. The methods considered are the spherical mean power-law approac ...

Shape Models of Lucy Targets (3548) Eurybates and (21900) Orus from Disk-integrated Photometry

Stephan Hellmich

We use our new light curves, along with historical data, to determine the rotation state, photometric properties, and convex shape models of the targets of the Lucy mission (3548) Eurybates and (21900) Orus. We determine a retrograde spin for both targets, ...

Lightning interaction with the ionosphere

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

Lightning discharges, including cloud-to-ground (CG) and intracloud (IC) lightning, are known to emit electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) in a wide frequency band ranging from few Hz up to hundreds MHz [1]. During the breakdown and ionization processes (mostly f ...

The DEMO magnet system - Status and future challenges

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Rainer Wesche, Kamil Sedlák, Davide Uglietti, Roberto Guarino, Mithlesh Kumar, Vincenzo D'Auria, Ortensia Dicuonzo, Chiara Frittitta, Federica Demattè

We present the pre-concept design of the European DEMO Magnet System, which has successfully passed the DEMO plant-level gate review in 2020. The main design input parameters originate from the so-called DEMO 2018 baseline, which was produced using the PRO ...

Verification of selective laser melting heat source models with operando X-ray diffraction data

Steven Van Petegem, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Samy Hocine

The output obtained from operando X-ray diffraction experiments on Ti-6Al-4V is used to verify the accuracy of four FEM models in predicting the temperature evolution of the solidified domain, the cooling rates of the alpha and beta phases, and the influen ...

Highly localized azimuthal measurements in the CROCUS reactor towards the validaiton of high-fidelity neutronics codes

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Pavel Frajtag, Fanny Vitullo

Highly localized in-core measurements are necessary for the validation of neutron transport calculations with high spatial resolution. In the present work, a miniature neutron detector developed at EPFL in collaboration with PSI was used to carry out a set ...

Shapes of rotating normal fluid He-3 versus superfluid He-4 droplets in molecular beams

Christoph Bostedt, Andre Al Haddad

Previous single-pulse extreme ultraviolet and x-ray coherent diffraction studies revealed that superfluid He-4 droplets obtained in a free jet expansion acquire sizable angular momentum, resulting in significant centrifugal distortion. Similar experiments ...

Hybrid HTS-Nb3Sn-NbTi DEMO CS coil design optimized for maximum magnetic flux generation

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Rainer Wesche, Kamil Sedlák, Davide Uglietti, Xabier Sarasola Martin, Ortensia Dicuonzo

The present work is performed within the framework of the EUROfusion DEMO project. Previously, it was demonstrated that for a maintained magnetic flux the use of HTS conductors at highest magnetic field in a layer-wound CS coil would allow the reduction of ...

Improved calibration of vertical scanning optical profilometers for spherical profiles measurements

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

A new method for calibrating optical scanning profilometers is presented. Especially adapted to spherical and aspherical profile measurements, it shows an increase of accuracy bigger than one order of magnitude for radius of curvature measurements. Calibra ...

Parental arc magma compositions dominantly controlled by mantle-wedge thermal structure

Stéphane Laurent Escrig

The processes that lead to the fourfold variation in arc-averaged compositions of mafic arc iavas remain controversial. Control by the mantle-wedge thermal structure is supported by chemical correlations with the thickness of the underlying arc crust(1-3), ...

Mechanical properties of peripheral stress fibers in adherent cells spreading on patterned substrates

Céline Jeanne Labouesse

Many cellular processes require or depend on mechanical feedback from the cell's micro-environment. For example, the local organization of the actin cytoskeleton is known to adapt to the physical properties of the extracellular matrix. To gain better under ...

Cell Shape Dynamics Reveal Balance of Elasticity and Contractility in Peripheral Arcs

Jean-Jacques Meister, Alexander Verkhovskiy, Chiara Gabella, Benoît Vianay, Céline Jeanne Labouesse

The mechanical interaction between adherent cells and their substrate relies on the formation of adhesion sites and on the stabilization of contractile acto-myosin bundles, or stress fibers. The shape of the cell and the orientation of these fibers can be ...

Dynamic aggregation of the mid-sized gadolinium complex {Ph-4[Gd(DTTA)(H2O)(2)](-)(3)}

Lothar Helm, Pascal Miéville, Hugues Jaccard

A compound binding three Gd3+ ions, {Ph-4Gd(DTTA)(H2O)(2) (3)} (where H(5)DTTA is diethylenetriaminetetraacetic acid), has been synthesized around a hydrophobic center made up of four phenyl rings. In aqueous solution the molecules start to self-aggre ...

Bedrock topography reconstruction of glaciers from surface topography and mass-balance data

Marco Picasso, Laurent Michel

Three methods based on the three-dimensional shallow ice approximation of glacier flow are devised that infer a glacier's subglacial topography from the observation of its time-evolving surface and mass balance. The quasi-stationary inverse method relying ...

Phase-field modeling of micropore formation in a solidifying alloy

Hossein Meidani

This thesis is focused on the study of the morphology of micropores formed during solidification of metallic alloys. Micropores constrained to form in well-developed dendritic solid network adopt complex non-spherical shapes. Previous studies using X-ray t ...

Modélisation physique et analyse numérique de la propagation d'une masse granulaire : contribution à l'étude des avalanches rocheuses

Claire Sauthier

Rock avalanches are processes involving a huge amount of mobilised material, larger than 106 m3, and their propagation is characterised by a very high energy, such that no active mitigation measure is capable of protecting human lives and properties potent ...

Fabrication and Characterization of 1-D diffusing elements

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Roland Andreas Bitterli

Certain high power laser applications require thin homogeneous laser lines. In this paper we describe the concept, fabrication and characterization of a 1-D diffuser that generates such a line. The device is based on an array of concave cylinder lenses wit ...

Ideal knots and other packing problems of tubes

This thesis concerns optimal packing problems of tubes, or thick curves, where thickness is defined as follows. Three points on a closed space curve define a circle. Taking the infimum over all radii of pairwise-distinct point triples defines the thickness ...

Nonlinear Stability of Riemann Ellipsoids with Symmetric Configurations

Using modern differential geometric methods, we study the relative equilibria for Dirichlet's model of a self-gravitating fluid mass having at least two equal axes. We show that the only relative equilibria of this type correspond to Riemann ellipsoids for ...
