Deepwater Renewal in a Large, Deep Lake (Lake Geneva): Identifying and Quantifying Winter Cooling Processes Using Heat Budget Decomposition

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, François Mettra, Rafael Sebastian Reiss, Naifu Peng

Wintertime deepwater renewal, which is important for heat-oxygen-nutrient exchange in lakes, is traditionally considered to be mainly driven by 1D vertical convective cooling. However, differential cooling between shallow and deep waters can produce densit ...

Carbonized wood impregnated with bimetallic nanoparticles as a monolithic continuous-flow microreactor for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol

Qingtong Zhang, Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Rosemarie Janet Somerville

Porous monolithic microreactors show great promise in catalytic applications, but are usually based on non-renewable materials. Herein, we demonstrate a Ni/Au nanoparticle-decorated carbonized wood (Ni/Au-CW) monolithic membrane microreactor for the effici ...

Auction algorithm sensitivity for multi-robot task allocation

Tony Alan Wood

We consider the problem of finding a low-cost allocation and ordering of tasks between a team of robots in a d-dimensional, uncertain, landscape, and the sensitivity of this solution to changes in the cost function.Various algorithms have been shown to giv ...

A mathematical model that integrates cardiac electrophysiology, mechanics, and fluid dynamics: Application to the human left heart

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede'

We propose a mathematical and numerical model for the simulation of the heart function that couples cardiac electrophysiology, active and passive mechanics and hemodynamics, and includes reduced models for cardiac valves and the circulatory system. Our mod ...

Development of a Strengthening System for Riveted/Bolted Steel Connections Using Prestressed CFRP Rods

Alain Nussbaumer

Among different details in old riveted railway bridges throughout the world, connections such as stringer-to-floor-beam double-angle connections are one of the most fatigue-prone details. These connections are subjected to fatigue loadings due to the secon ...

Distributionally Robust Chance Constrained Optimization for Providing Flexibility in an Active Distribution Network

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui

In this paper, we propose a distributionally robust chance constrained (DRCC) optimization problem for the operation of an active distribution network (ADN). The ADN's operator uses the proposed problem to centrally optimize the dispatch plan of his resour ...

Reconstruction of Fetal Head Surface from Few 2D Ultrasound Images Tracked in 3D Space

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Sandra Maria Marcadent

In this pilot study, we present a new engineering approach to reconstruct a patient-specific model of the fetal head near term. Indeed, 3D visualization of the fetus prominent skull could help the obstetricians in decision-making to overcome dystocia, a de ...

Influence of Fin and Finger Number on TID Degradation of 16-nm Bulk FinFETs Irradiated to Ultrahigh Doses

Christian Enz

This article investigates the fin- and finger-number dependence of the total ionizing dose (TID) degradation in 16-nm bulk Si FinFETs at ultrahigh doses. n- and p-FinFETs designed with different numbers of fins and fingers are irradiated up to 500 Mrad(SiO ...
