A new chapter of healthy indoor air: antiviral air treatments

Shannon Christa David

Aerosol transmission remains a major challenge for the control of respiratory viruses. To date, prevention strategies include masks, vaccinations, physical distancing, travel restrictions, and lockdowns. Such measures are effective but come with heavy soci ...

Bulk size-resolved chemical composition and mass concentration of non-refractory submicron aerosols measured in the Swiss container during MOSAiC 2019/2020

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte

This dataset contains the bulk size-resolved chemical composition and mass concentration of non-refractory submicron aerosols (NR-PM1) measured during the MOSAiC expedition from October 2019 to July 2020. These include the mass concentrations of sulfate (S ...

A Bayesian data assimilation framework for lake 3D hydrodynamic models with a physics-preserving particle filtering method using SPUX-MITgcm v1

Damien Bouffard, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Firat Ozdemir

We present a Bayesian inference for a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of Lake Geneva with stochastic weather forcing and high-frequency observational datasets. This is achieved by coupling a Bayesian inference package, SPUX, with a hydrodynamics packa ...

Using Novel Molecular-Level Chemical Composition Observations of High Arctic Organic Aerosol for Predictions of Cloud Condensation Nuclei

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Lubna Dada

Predictions of cloud droplet activation in the late summertime (September) central Arctic Ocean are made using κ-Köhler theory with novel observations of the aerosol chemical composition from a high-resolution time-of-flight chemical ionization mass spectr ...

Modified full-face snorkel masks as reusable personal protective equipment for hospital personnel

Mélanie Thérèse Marie Hannebelle, Patrick Gerber

Here we adapt and evaluate a full-face snorkel mask for use as personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers, who lack appropriate alternatives during the COVID-19 crisis in the spring of 2020. The design (referred to as Pneumask) consists of ...

Insights into the molecular composition of semi-volatile aerosols in the summertime central Arctic Ocean using FIGAERO-CIMS

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

The remote central Arctic during summertime has a pristine atmosphere with very low aerosol particle concentrations. As the region becomes increasingly ice-free during summer, enhanced oceanatmosphere fluxes of aerosol particles and precursor gases may the ...

Photocatalytic Nanowires-Based Air Filter: Towards Reusable Protective Masks

László Forró, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Endre Horvath, Lidia Rocoffort de Vinnière, Caroline Lehmann

In the last couple decades, several viral outbreaks resulting in epidemics and pandemics with thousands of human causalities have been witnessed. The current Covid-19 outbreak represents an unprecedented crisis. In stopping the virus' spread, it is fundame ...

Reusability of filtering facepiece respirators after decontamination through drying and germicidal UV irradiation

Véronique Michaud, Guillaume Suarez, David Vernez

Introduction During pandemics, such as the SARS-CoV-2, filtering facepiece respirators plays an essential role in protecting healthcare personnel. The recycling of respirators is possible in case of critical shortage, but it raises the question of the effe ...

Composite Materials Based on (Cymene)Ru(II) Curcumin Additives Loaded on Porous Carbon Adsorbents from Agricultural Residues Display Efficient Antibacterial Activity

Paul Joseph Dyson

Alternative composite materials with antibacterial activity have been developed by combining the porosity of carbon materials and the antibacterial activity of half sandwich (cymene)Ru-curcumin complexes. Different types of activated carbon were used, from ...

Low Energy Collisions in Merged Neutral Molecular Beams

Benjamin Bertsche

Within this thesis two experiments will be described. In the first experiment a velocity filter was used to obtain a beam of polar molecules (ND3) with a translational temperature of less than 5K. For the first time the dynamics of individual rotational st ...

Emerging risks from ballast water treatment: The run-up to the International Ballast Water Management Convention

Urs von Gunten

Uptake and discharge of ballast water by ocean-going ships contribute to the worldwide spread of aquatic invasive species, with negative impacts on the environment, economies, and public health. The International Ballast Water Management Convention aims at ...

Mitigating Cr Contamination by Hot Air Filtering in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Christian Ludwig, Jan Van Herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Josef Andreas Schuler

Cr contamination, generated by system components located upstream a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and responsible for Cr-poisoning induced air electrode performance degradation, must be suppressed by hindering the access of Cr pollutants to the cathode comp ...

Short-Term Spatio-Temporal Clustering Applied to Multiple Moving Speakers

Jean-Marc Odobez, Guillaume Lathoud

Distant microphones permit to process spontaneous multi-party speech with very little constraints on speakers, as opposed to close-talking microphones. Minimizing the constraints on speakers permits a large diversity of applications, including meeting summ ...

Characterization of the mechanism of action of spin-filters for animal cell perfusion cultures

Florentina Vallez

The growing demand for high levels of recombinant proteins of medical and pharmaceutical interest stimulates the development of cell bioprocess technology. Spin-filter technology is employed in order to reach high levels of such compounds. The aim of this ...
