Morphological processes and potential for lacustrine delta restoration

Giovanni De Cesare, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Alexandre Philippe Louis Antoine Fourrier

Most lacustrine deltas are nowadays highly anthropized systems. River training works during past centuries considered rivers mainly as vectors of water and sediments from a point source to a sink. However, numerous problems have been identified by resident ...

On the use of leaf water to determine plant water source: A proof of concept

Paolo Benettin

Source water apportionment studies using the dual isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen have revolutionized our understanding of ecohydrology. But despite these developments-mostly over the past decade-many technical problems still exist in terms of linking xyle ...

Atmospheric mercury sources in a coastal-urban environment: a case study in Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Hélène Paule Angot

Mercury (Hg) is an environmental toxicant dangerous to human health and the environment. Its anthropogenic emissions are regulated by global, regional, and local policies. Here, we investigate Hg sources in the coastal city of Boston, the third largest met ...

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 ...

Mountain snow: The source of the mother river—Study of multi-scale and multi-physical process of spatio-temporal evolution of snow distribution

Guang Li

Snow is one of the most active elements on the earth, which is an important mass source of polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers, as well as a main supply for the runoff. Its distribution and evolution have a great impact on global hydrological cycle, ecosy ...

Near-field phase profile and far-field contrast modulation for micro-lens arrays at the refraction limit

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi

We investigate the far-field pattern generation for a micro-lens array (MLA) illuminated under different conditions. Plane wave and Gaussian beam illumination are considered for an MLA with a small diameter of 27 microns and 30 microns period. At these dim ...

Assessment of the effects of wastewater treatment plant effluents on receiving streams using oligochaete communities of the porous matrix

Régis Lionel Vivien

Human activities can disturb the natural dynamics of exchanges between surface water and groundwater in rivers. Such exchanges contribute to the self-purification of the environment and an excess of infiltration can lead to contamination of groundwater. In ...

Light refocusing with up-scalable resonant waveguide gratings in confocal prolate spheroid arrangements

Olivier Martin, Benjamin Gallinet, Giorgio Quaranta, Zdenek Benes

Resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs) are thin-film structures, where coupled modesinterfere with the diffracted incoming wave and produce strong angular and spectral filtering. The combination of two finite-length and impedance matched RWGs allows the creati ...

LEAP: Looking beyond pixels with continuous-space EstimAtion of Point sources

Martin Vetterli, Thierry Blu, Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Hanjie Pan

Context. Two main classes of imaging algorithms have emerged in radio interferometry: the CLEAN algorithm and its multiple variants, and compressed-sensing inspired methods. They are both discrete in nature, and estimate source locations and intensities on ...

Point and sensor estimation from images

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Alireza Ghasemi

System comprising at least one sensor configured to take a set of images from different viewpoints of a scene; a processor configured to identifying a point source represented in the images of a set of images; computing for each image of the set of images ...

Optimal Search Strategies for Pollutant Source Localization

Auke Ijspeert, Mohammadreza Bayat

This paper is aimed at developing optimal motion planning for a single autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) equipped with an on-board pollutant sensor that will maximize the sensor-related information available for source seeking. The ASV uses a nonlinear diff ...

Firedec: a two-channel finite-resolution image deconvolution algorithm

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Pascale Jablonka, Malte Tewes, Nicolas Jacques Joseph Marie Cantale

We present a two-channel deconvolution method that decomposes images into a parametric point-source channel and a pixelized extended-source channel. Based on the central idea of the deconvolution algorithm proposed by Magain et al. (1998, ApJ, 494, 472), t ...

On the detection of point sources in Planck LFI 70 GHz CMB maps based on cleaned K-map

We use the Planck LFI 70 GHz data to further probe point source detection technique in the sky maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. The method developed by Tegmark et al. for foreground reduced maps and the Kolmogorov parameter as the d ...

Water use and quality in life cycle assessment : identifying good practices and developing operational spatial approaches

Anna Kounina Massé

Pressure on freshwater resources is increasingly covered by methodological developments addressing freshwater use in the field of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). These developments ultimately lead to the publication of the ISO 14046 standard to define the pri ...

Wave dispersion in periodic post-buckled structures

Alessandro Spadoni, Florian Paul Robert Maurin

Wave propagation in pinned-supported, post-buckled beams can be described with the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation. Finite-element simulations however show that the KdV is applicable only to post-buckled beams with strong pre-compression. For weak and mod ...

A computational platform for integrated modelling of micropollution in the urban environment

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Timothée Noé Pouchon

Anthropogenic chemical contaminants are found routinely in our water resources. Although most of these compounds are usually present at low concentrations, they are of concern due to their ecotoxicity, antibacterial resistance and potential harm to human h ...
