For a graph F, we say a hypergraph H is a Berge-F if it can be obtained from F by replacing each edge of F with a hyperedge containing it. We say a hypergraph is Berge-F-saturated if it does not contain a Berge-F, but adding any hyperedge creates a copy of ...
Laboratory measurement of mechanical properties of gas shales represents a challenging topic in geomechanics due to their peculiar features such as heterogeneity, anisotropy, low permeability, and complex physical phenomena related to the hydro-mechanical ...
Oxygenation of a tumor is one of the most important predictive factors: hypoxia is associated with aggressive tumors and substantially lower survival rate. Despite this high relevance of tumor oxygenation, there is currently no bedside technique available ...
CO2 injection and storage in geological reservoirs is an attractive prospect for mitigating the anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases and global warming. The technology could lead to mineral precipitation and therefore stable storage over geological ...
We humans are constantly preoccupied with our health and physiological status. From precise measurements such as the 12-lead electrocardiograms recorded in hospitals, we have moved on to mobile acquisition devices, now as versatile as smart-watches and sma ...
The mid-term safety of deep geological nuclear waste repositories is based in part on the presence of a buffer, the main role of which is to isolate the environment from radionuclides. A design evaluation of such a repository is necessary to assess the pot ...
