Performance evaluation of radon active sensors and passive dosimeters at low and high radon concentrations

Dusan Licina, Joan Frédéric Rey

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has the potential to accumulate in buildings and over time, causes lung cancer in humans. Present methods for radon measurements are disparate, which pose challenges to benchmark radon concentrations and ...

Weather Impacts on Indoor Radon Short-Term Measurements in Switzerland

Joan Frédéric Rey

Radon is a natural and radioactively well-known carcinogenic indoor air pollutant. Since 2020, a radon short-term proactive methodology has been proposed by Swiss authorities, which aims to evaluate the probability of overpassing the national reference val ...

Autodigit-RAD: Towards an automation of the radon’s concentration dataflow in a new and innovative building

Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Sebastian Duque Mahecha

Radon is a noble, natural, and radioactive gas coming mainly from the ground which might accumulate indoors and lead each year to 200-300 deaths from lung cancer in Switzerland. A brand new and innovative living lab will be built as of 2023 in Fribourg (Sw ...

Radon Investigation in 650 Energy Efficient Dwellings in Western Switzerland: Impact of Energy Renovation and Building Characteristics

Dusan Licina, Shen Yang

As part of more stringent energy targets in Switzerland, we witness the appearance of new green-certified dwellings while many existing dwellings have undergone energy efficiency measures. These measures have led to reduced energy consumption, but rarely c ...

An Algorithmic Framework for Mumford-Shah Regularization of Inverse Problems in Imaging

Martin Kurt Storath

The Mumford-Shah model is a very powerful variational approach for edge preserving regularization of image reconstruction processes. However, it is algorithmically challenging because one has to deal with a non-smooth and non-convex functional. In this pap ...

Representation of Radon Shape Diffusions via Hyperspherical Brownian Motion

Victor Panaretos

A framework is introduced for the study of general Radon shape diffusions, that is, shape diffusions induced by projections of randomly rotating shapes. This is done via a convenient representation of unoriented Radon shape diffusions in (unoriented) D.G. ...
