What is the role of ethics in accreditation documentation from a global view?

Helena Kovacs

Ethics in engineering has long been an important element in engineering programmes, however these subjects are often taught at a basic learning level with little attempt to connect to demonstrative learning outcomes. In recent years there has been a step c ...

Ru tailored hydrous cobalt phosphate as a rational approach for high-performance alkaline oxygen evolution reaction

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

The water splitting is an appealing approach to fulfil the demand of energy without any global concerns. The oxygen evolution reaction is one of way to achieve unlimited energy from water but the low stability, high energy required to drive the reaction (o ...

Observation of a new structure near 10.75 GeV in the energy dependence of the e(+)e(-)-> Upsilon (nS)pi(+)pi(-) (n=1, 2, 3) cross sections

Mingkui Wang, Olivier Schneider, Chao Wang, Sun Hee Kim, Kyung Taek Cho

We report a new measurement of the e(+)e(-)-> Upsilon(nS)pi(+)pi(-) (n = 1, 2, 3) cross sections at energies from 10.52 to 11.02 GeV using data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. We observe a new structure in ...

Validation of the Mass-Extraction-Window for Quantitative Methods Using Liquid Chromatography High Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Laure Menin, Anne-Laure Gassner

A paradigm shift is underway in the field of quantitative liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis thanks to the arrival of recent high-resolution mass spectrometers (HRMS). The capability of HRMS to perform sensitive and reliable quantific ...

Real-Time Control of Microgrids with Explicit Power Setpoints: Unintentional Islanding

Mario Paolone, Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Andrey Bernstein

We propose a method to perform a safe unintentional islanding maneuver of microgrids. The method is derived in the context of a framework for the real-time control of microgrids, called Commelec, recently proposed by the authors. The framework uses a hiera ...

Human perceptions of daylight composition in architecture: a preliminary study to compare quantitative contrast measures with subjective user assessments in HDR renderings

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

Humans perceive daylight as a rich and dynamic luminous composition and yet existing performance metrics most often evaluate natural illumination for its ability to adequately illuminate a two-dimensional task surface while avoiding glare-based visual disc ...

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 ...

Quantitative Mass Spectrometry Reveals Plasticity of Metabolic Networks in Mycobacterium smegmatis

John McKinney, Marc Moniatte, Romain Hamelin, Florence Armand, Diego Chiappe, Tarun Chopra

Mycobacterium tuberculosis has a remarkable ability to persist within the human host as a clinically inapparent or chronically active infection. Fatty acids are thought to be an important carbon source used by the bacteria during long term infection. Catab ...

Estimating MFDs in simple networks with route choice

Nikolaos Geroliminis

The concept of the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) is elegant and attractive because it provides a global view of traffic behavior and performance at a network level. However, recent research shows that the MFD shape can be influenced by local traffi ...

Connected at any cost? The vulnerability of critical infrastructures and crisis management

Valérie November

Critical infrastructures are receiving a great deal of attention, due, on the one hand, to the major malfunctions to which they are subject and their potential as targets of malicious intent on the other. Economic and political impacts are studied; increas ...

Structure and Controls of the Global Virtual Water Trade Network

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis

Recurrent or ephemeral water shortages are a crucial global challenge, in particular because of their impacts on food production. The global character of this challenge is reflected in the trade among nations of virtual water, i.e. the amount of water used ...

Model Checking of Distributed Algorithm Implementations

Maysam Yabandeh

It is notoriously difficult to develop reliable, high-performance distributed systems that run over asynchronous networks. Even if a distributed system is based on a well-understood distributed algorithm, its implementation can contain errors arising from ...

Comprendre la société-Monde par ses enjeux et ses acteurs : l'implication de l'entreprise Lafarge dans la lutte contre le VIH/SIDA

The aim of this thesis is to understand the World as a full-fledged object, namely as the space of a society. This objective is at the same time necessary and problematic. It is necessary because the sudden end of the Cold War entailed the need of new conc ...

Networks of Mixed Canonic-Dissipative Systems and Dynamic Hebbian Learning

Max-Olivier Hongler, Julio Rodriguez

We consider a collection {O_k}_{k=1}^N of interacting parametric mixed canonical-dissipative systems, (MCD). Each individual Ok, exhibits, in absence of interaction, a limit cycle L_k on which the orbit circulation is parameterized by w_k(t). The underlyin ...
