Applying the Principal Component Analysis for a deeper understanding of the groundwater system: case study of the Bacchiglione Basin (Veneto, Italy)

In hydrogeology, it is often difficult to fully understand the hydraulic factors affecting the recharge of groundwater systems. Particularly, at a regional scale, the groundwater system can have different drivers depending on the considered area, i.e., soi ...

Single-Trace Clustering Power Analysis of the Point-Swapping Procedure in the Three Point Ladder of Cortex-M4 SIKE

Aymeric Genet, Novak Kaluderovic

In this paper, the recommended implementation of the post-quantum key exchange SIKE for Cortex-M4 is attacked through power analysis with a single trace by clustering with the k-means algorithm the power samples of all the invocations of the elliptic curve ...

Micromechanically inspired investigation of cemented granular materials: part I-from X-ray micro tomography to measurable model variables

Gioacchino Viggiani, Edward Carlo Giorgio Andò

Cemented granular materials are abundant in nature and are often artificially produced. Their macroscopic behaviour is driven by small-scale material processes, which are generally classified as: grain breakage, cement damage and fragment rearrangement. Th ...

Do the majority of stars form as gravitationally unbound?

Richard Irving Anderson

Context. Some of the youngest stars (age less than or similar to 10 Myr) are clustered, while many others are observed scattered throughout star forming regions or in complete isolation. It has been intensively debated whether such scattered or isolated st ...

Geographic footprints of life expectancy inequalities in the state of Geneva, Switzerland

Stéphane Joost, Anaïs Laurence Ladoy, David Nicolas De Ridder, Idris Guessous

Though Switzerland has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, this global indicator may mask significant disparities at a local level. The present study used a spatial cluster detection approach based on individual death records to investigate ...

Size and duration of COVID-19 clusters go along with a high SARS-CoV-2 viral load: A spatio-temporal investigation in Vaud state, Switzerland

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Stéphane Joost, Onya Opota, Anaïs Laurence Ladoy, Idris Guessous

To understand the geographical and temporal spread of SARS-CoV-2 during the first documented wave of infection in the state of Vaud, Switzerland, we analyzed clusters of positive cases using the precise residential location of 33,651 individuals tested (RT ...

Sublinear Algorithms for Spectral Graph Clustering

Aidasadat Mousavifar

This thesis focuses on designing spectral tools for graph clustering in sublinear time. With the emergence of big data, many traditional polynomial time, and even linear time algorithms have become prohibitively expensive. Processing modern datasets requir ...

Repeated exposure to tripping like perturbations elicits more precise control and lower toe clearance of the swinging foot during steady walking

Silvestro Micera

Controlling minimum toe clearance (MTC) is considered an important factor in preventing tripping. In the current study, we investigated modifications of neuro-muscular control underlying toe clearance during steady locomotion induced by repeated exposure t ...

A birth-death-migration model for life in astrophysical environments

Claudio Grimaldi

To assess the number of life-bearing worlds in astrophysical environments, it is necessary to take the intertwined processes of abiogenesis (birth), extinction (death), and transfer of life (migration) into account. We construct a mathematical model that i ...

An Experimental Setup for Heterogeneous Catalysis on Atomically Defined Metal Nanostructures

Jean-Guillaume De Groot

The main objective of this PhD thesis is to link the atomic scale structure to the catalytic properties of self-assembled nanostructures. The growth and characterization of these nanostructures was carried out in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber initiall ...
