Supplementary movies included in the thesis 'High-throughput isolation of anaerobic arsenic-transforming microorganisms' by Hugo Sallet, EPFL.The time-lapse videos show the generation of hydrogel capsules in a microfluidic chip (Movie 1) and microbial gr ...
We study the evolution of a passive scalar subject to molecular diffusion and advected by an incompressible velocity field on a 2D bounded domain. The velocity field is u=del perpendicular to H, where H is an autonomous Hamiltonian whose level sets are Jor ...
Cell-free synthetic biology has gained increasing popularity owing to its ability to elucidate biological functions in isolation from intricate cellular environments and the capacity to build increasingly complex biochemical systems in vitro. But cellfree ...
The near-surface boundary layer over patchy snow is highly heterogeneous and dynamic. Layers of opposing stability coexist within only a few horizontal meters. Conventional experimental methods to investigate this layer suffer from limitations related to t ...
This thesis contributes to the research on the challenging topic of wind turbine wake development in the atmospheric boundary layer. Through a combined theoretical and numerical approach, the focus is on developing new frameworks to predict the wind turbin ...
Microbial life is at the heart of many diverse environments and regulates most natural processes, from the functioning of animal organs to the cycling of global carbon. Yet, the study of microbial ecology is often limited by challenges in visualizing micro ...
This work presents a study of two-phase flow generated inside a rock-flow cell setup. It is characterized by a pipe section filled with fluid (oil in our studies) that is put into oscillation around its mass centre by an electric motor. This type of appara ...
The Arctic environment has changed profoundly in recent decades. Aerosol particles are involved in numerous feedback mechanisms in the Arctic, e.g., aerosol-cloud/radiation interactions, which have important climatic implications. To understand changes in ...
