Physical characterization of fault rocks within the Opalinus Clay formation

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza, Christophe Nussbaum

Near-surface disposal of radioactive waste in shales is a promising option to safeguard the population and environment. However, natural faults intersecting these geological formations can potentially affect the long-term isolation of the repositories. Thi ...

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 ...

Rock strength properties of granitic rocks in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California

Federica Sandrone

Yosemite National Park, located in the central part of California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, is a glacially carved landscape filled with iconic rock formations such as Cathedral Peak, El Capitan, and Half Dome. Igneous rocks, consisting primarily of variat ...

Wet Markets and Food Safety: TripAdvisor for Improved Global Digital Surveillance

Martin Mathias Müller, Sharada Prasanna Mohanty

Background: Wet markets are markets selling fresh meat and produce. Wet markets are critical for food security and sustainable development in their respective regions. Due to their cultural significance, they attract numerous visitors and consequently gene ...

Emergence of self-affine surfaces during adhesive wear

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei, Tobias Brink, Enrico Milanese

Friction and wear depend critically on surface roughness and its evolution with time. An accurate control of roughness is essential to the performance and durability of virtually all engineering applications. At geological scales, roughness along tectonic ...

SAT-Based Area Recovery in Structural Technology Mapping

Bruno Schmitt Antunes

This paper proposes a fast SAT-based algorithm for recovering area applicable to an already technology mapped circuit. The algorithm considers a sequence of relatively small overlapping regions, called windows, in a mapped network and tries to improve the ...

The effects of visual realism, spatial abilities, and competition on performance in map-based route learning in men

John Christian Thoresen, Rebecca Francelet

We report on how visual realism might influence map-based route learning performance in a controlled laboratory experiment with 104 male participants in a competitive context. Using animations of a dot moving through routes of interest, we find that partic ...

On Lightning Electromagnetic Field Propagation Along an Irregular Terrain

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mario Paolone, Davide Pavanello, Mohammad Azadifar, Zhaoyang Wang, Stefan Metz

In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of the propagation effects of lightning electromagnetic fields over a mountainous terrain. The analysis is supported by experimental observations consisting of simultaneous records of lightning currents and ...

Efficient global optimization of reservoir geomechanical parameters based on synthetic aperture radar-derived ground displacements

Francesco Comola

When large volumes of fluids are removed from or injected into underground formations for, e.g., hydrocarbon and water production, CO_2 storage, gas storage, and geothermal energy exploitation, monitoring of surface deformations coupled to numerical modeli ...

Analysis and estimation of gripper TBM performances in highly fractured and faulted rocks

Jian Zhao, Federica Sandrone, Erika Paltrinieri

This paper focuses on performance analysis of Tunnel Boring Machine (in particular gripper TBMs) in highly jointed rock masses and fault zones. In order to investigate possible relationships between these difficult excavation conditions and TBM performance ...

Geotypen : ein neues Konzept zur Optimierung geologischer Informationen für die Raumplanung

Aurèle Parriaux, Pascal Turberg

When we have to valorise the geological information for land planning or engineering applications, it is difficult to integrate the large complexity of the maps of the Swiss Geological Atlas at the scale of 1:25'000. The heterogeneity of the legends betwee ...

Interest modeling in games: the case of dead reckoning

Kévin Clément Huguenin

In games, the goals and interests of players are key factors in their behavior. However, techniques used by networked games to cope with infrequent updates and message loss, such as dead reckoning, estimate a player's movements based mainly on previous obs ...

L’espace-Obama : une victoire des réseaux sur les territoires

Jacques Lévy, Luc Guillemot

Spatial characteristics are more relevant than socio-economic features to distinguish Romney and Obama’s electoral bodies. A cartographic representation at county level that uses a population cartogram as a base map makes the opposition between both geogra ...

Attention operates on non-retinotopic feature maps in visual search

Michael Herzog, Marco Boi

At the heart of feature integration theory is a master map which operates on dimension-based feature maps. It is assumed that these feature maps are organized retinotopically. If in conjunction search, for example, a horizontal green line has to be searche ...

Using geotypes for landslide hazard assessment and mapping: a coupled field and GIS-based method

Aurèle Parriaux, Séverine Bilgot

Switzerland is exceptionally subjected to landslides; indeed, about 10% of its area is considered as unstable. Making this observation, its Department of the Environment (BAFU) introduces in 1997 a method to realize landslide hazard maps. It is routinely u ...

Handling the Inconsistency of Relative Map Filter

Roland Siegwart

In \cite{martinelli_2004_open_challenges_in}, a version of Relative Map Filter (\RMF) is proposed to solve the simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) problem. In the \RMF, the map states contain only quantities invariant under shift and rotat ...
