Navigation Improves the Survival Rate of Mobile-Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty by Severe Preoperative Coronal Deformity: A Propensity Matched Case-Control Comparative Study

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

The primary hypothesis of this study was that the survival rate over 10 years of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) implanted with a navigation system was superior to that of TKAs implanted with a conventional technique. The secondary hypothesis was that the ...

Higher knowledge : SANAA's Rolex Learning Center at EPFL since 2010

Christophe van Gerrewey

The Rolex Learning Center at EPFL Lausanne opened in 2010. Designed by Pritzker Prize laureates SANAA (Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa) from Japan, it soon became one of the more well-known buildings of recent times. In this book—an architectural novella— ...

A Performative Threshold Between Teaching Research and Practice. Atlas Poliphilo as Scaffold

Dieter Dietz, Aurélie Dupuis, Darío Negueruela Del Castillo, Julien Lafontaine Carboni

Hunches allow us to navigate in a trans-scalar world. Without them, teachers, researchers and practitioners would be left aimless. Hunches relate to the embodied and synthetic nature of the knowledge we produce, but also to its unfolding. Instead of denyin ...

Inconsistent relationship between body weight/body mass index prior to total knee arthroplasty and the 12-year survival

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Background: The primary hypothesis was that body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI) significantly impact the long-term survival rate after implantation of a mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ...

FUNSD: A Dataset for Form Understanding in Noisy Scanned Documents

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Guillaume Jaume, Hazim Kemal Ekenel

We present a new dataset for form understanding in noisy scanned documents (FUNSD) that aims at extracting and structuring the textual content of forms. The dataset comprises 199 real, fully annotated, scanned forms. The documents are noisy and vary widely ...

Short-term field study programmes for developing interdisciplinary skills in engineering education

Marc Laperrouza, Florence Graezer Bideau, Roland John Tormey, Eric Hoesli, Johanna Susette Gonçalves Martin

Short-term field study involves groups of students working in an off-campus (sometimes international) setting, and often involves working on realistic, open-ended problems, in interaction with a host community. Such learning experiences are intended to dev ...

Catalyst design for the transformation of CO2 into value-added products

Felix Daniel Bobbink

The mass-utilization of fossil resources has led to a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) production, most of which is released directly into the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in global warming. Efforts to contain CO2 emissions and to capture, store ...

Concept of Variants and Invariants for Reaction Systems, with Application to Estimation, Control and Optimization

Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

The concept of reaction variants and invariants for lumped reaction systems has been known for several decades. Its applications encompass model identification, data reconciliation, state estimation and control using kinetic models. In this thesis, the con ...

Micromotion and fluid flow around cementless femoral components in total hip arthroplasty

Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine

Cementless total hip arthroplasty is a highly successful and reliable procedure to restore joint function and reduce pain in patients with severe osteoarthritis. Nevertheless, despite the technical advances over the last decades in the development of cemen ...

Cloaking using complementary media in the quasistatic regime

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

Cloaking using complementary media was suggested by Lai et al. in [8]. The study of this problem faces two difficulties. Firstly, this problem is unstable since the equations describing the phenomenon have sign changing coefficients, hence the ellipticity ...

The ‘Erfahrraum’: a pedagogical model for designing educational technologies in dual vocational systems

Pierre Dillenbourg, Beat Adrian Schwendimann

Vocational education taking place in the dual contexts of workplace and school often lacks integration of concrete experiences with theoretical knowledge. The interplay between workplace and school contexts and their often antagonistic priorities call for ...

Measurements of three-dimensional glenoid erosion when planning the prosthetic replacement of osteoarthritic shoulders

Alexandre Terrier, Xabier Larrea, Alain Farron, Julien Ston

The three-dimensional (3D) correction of glenoid erosion is critical to the long-term success of total shoulder replacement (TSR). In order to characterise the 3D morphology of eroded glenoid surfaces, we looked for a set of morphological parameters useful ...
