Synthesis and Characterization of High-Photoactivity Electrodeposited Cu2O solar absorber by photoelectrochemistry and ultrafast spectroscopy Paracchino, Adriana Brauer, Jan Cornelius Moser, Jacques-Edouard Thimsen, Elijah Graetzel, Michael Li-Ion Batteries P-Type Cu2O Cuprous-Oxide Electrical Conductivity Electrochemical Deposition 2-Step Electrodeposition Terahertz Spectroscopy Controlled Morphology Cyclotron-Resonance Inorganic Materials We present a systematic study on the effects of electrodeposition parameters on the photoelectrochemical properties of Cu2O. The influence of deposition variables (temperature, pH, and deposition current density) on conductivity has been widely explored in the past for this semiconductor, but the optimization of the electrodeposition process for the photoelectrochemical response in aqueous solutions under AM 1.5 illumination has received far less attention. In this work, we analyze the photoactivity of Cu2O films deposited at different conditions and correlate the photoresponse to morphology, film orientation, and electrical properties. The photoelectrochemical response was measured by linear sweep voltammetry under chopped simulated AM 1.5 illumination. The highest photocurrent obtained was −2.4 mA cm−2 at 0.25 V vs RHE for a film thickness of 1.3 μm. This is the highest reported value reached so far for this material in an aqueous electrolyte under AM 1.5 illumination. The optical and electrical properties of the most photoactive electrode were investigated by UV−vis spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance, while the minority carrier lifetime and diffusion length were measured by optical-pump THz-probe spectroscopy.

Circular economy digital market solutions for reuse in the European construction sector Sivers, Maria Fröhlich, Martin Fivet, Corentin reuse market analysis marketplace circular economy buildings Focusing on the cross-matching supply and demand for reused building components and related services, the paper analyses existing Digital Reuse Market Solutions (DRMS) in the European construction sector. A collection of 746 DRMS is built from major online circular economy platforms and custom online search queries. A taxonomy of 9 categories and 28 types is then extracted based on the activities of collected DRMS. Nearly half (46%) of collected DRMS are proper dealers of reused building components. Traditional building component dealers and demolition companies account for another third (32.8%). The rest is made of marketplaces, craftmanship, and providers of related services and knowledge. Only 13.4% of all collected DRMS allow online payment for goods or services.

MACEDON: methodology for automatically creating, evaluating, and designing overlay networks Rodriguez, A. Killian, C. Bhat, S. Kostic, D. Vahdat, A. application program interfaces computer network management distributed algorithms open systems Currently, researchers designing and implementing large-scale overlay services employ disparate techniques at each stage in the production cycle: design, implementation, experimentation, and evaluation. As a result, complex and tedious tasks are often duplicated leading to ineffective resource use and difficulty in fairly comparing competing algorithms. In this paper, we present MACEDON, an infrastructure that provides facilities to: i) specify distributed algorithms in a concise domain-specific language; ii) generate code that executes in popular evaluation infrastructures and in live networks; iii) leverage an overlay-generic API to simplify the interoperability of algorithm implementations and applications; and iv) enable consistent experimental evaluation. We have used MACEDON to implement and evaluate a number of algorithms, including AMMO, Bullet, Chord, NICE, Overcast, Pastry, Scribe, and SplitStream, typically with only a few hundred lines of MACEDON code. Using our infrastructure, we are able to accurately reproduce or exceed published results and behavior demonstrated by current publicly available implementations NSL Duke Univ., Durham, NC, USA 2007-01-24T10:04:37 2007-01-24T10:04:37 2007-01-24 2004 2024-10-17T23:20:07.548527Z conference proceedings https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/239966 https://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/99651/files/macedon-nsdi04.pdf Proceedings of the First Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '04) Proceedings of the First Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '04) USENIX Assoc

Adaptive Laser Welding Control: A Reinforcement Learning Approach Masinelli, Giulio Tri Le-Quang Zanoli, Silvio Wasmer, Kilian Shevchik, Sergey A. Computer Science, Information Systems Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Telecommunications Computer Science Engineering Telecommunications welding optical sensors process control power lasers laser modes laser welding laser material processing reinforcement learning policy gradient q-learning closed-loop control Despite extensive research efforts in the field of laser welding, the imperfect repeatability of the weld quality still represents an open topic. Indeed, the inherent complexity of the underlying physical phenomena prevents the implementation of an effective controller using conventional regulators. To close this gap, we propose the application of Reinforcement Learning for closed-loop adaptive control of welding processes. The presented system is able to autonomously learn a control law that achieves a predefined weld quality independently from the starting conditions and without prior knowledge of the process dynamics. Specifically, our control unit influences the welding process by modulating the laser power and uses optical and acoustic emission signals as sensory input. The algorithm consists of three elements: a smart agent interacting with the process, a feedback network for quality monitoring, and an encoder that retains only the quality critic events from the sensory input. Based on the data representation provided by the encoder, the smart agent decides the output laser power accordingly. The corresponding input signals are then analyzed by the feedback network to determine the resulting process quality. Depending on the distance to the targeted quality, a reward is given to the agent. The latter is designed to learn from its experience by taking the actions that maximize not just its immediate reward, but the sum of all the rewards that it will receive from that moment on. Two learning schemes were tested for the agent, namely S-Learning and Policy Gradient. The required training time to reach the targeted quality was 20 min for the former technique and 33 min for the latter.

Combined use of airborne laser scanning and hyperspectral imaging for forest inventories Parkan, Matthew Josef Golay, François Tuia, Devis Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) LiDAR forest inventory tree modeling point cloud segmentation machine learning Hyperspectral Imaging (HI) The thesis presented hereby proposes as a general objective the estimation of forest inventory parameters (e.g. trunk location, height, basal area, crown area, species, etc..) from the combination of Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) and Hyperspectal Imaging (HI). The research is centered around three main topics: the development of new individual tree segmentation algorithms, the assessment of direct and indirect dendrometry methods, tree species classification based on ALS and HI features. A common dependency of these topics is the availability of reliable reference datasets for the calibration and validation (error assessment) of algorithms. This requirement is addressed with the development of an interactive software application and procedures to facilitate the manual extraction of trees and visual identification of species from ALS points clouds. The results of this research can be useful to the operational domain in several ways: providing tools and procedures to characterize areas that are not covered by field inventories (e.g. private forests, low accessibility areas), act as a decision support (e.g. preparing plot maps, identifying priority intervention zones, etc.) when planning field surveys or logging, improving the integration of field and remote sensing measurements for forest inventories.

Media coding for streaming in networks with source and path diversity Thomos, Nikolaos Frossard, Pascal Network coding rateless codes network diversity overlay networks Mutimedia transmission LTS4 Novel network architectures such as overlay networks offer significant diversity that can compensate for the lack of strict quality of service in today's communication infrastructures. In order to take advantage of this diversity for delay-sensitive media streaming applications, the network systems can employ efficient mechanisms based on source, channel and even network coding. In particular, fountain codes offer interesting benefits for streaming with server diversity. When they are used independently at each server, they permit to avoid explicit coordination between the senders that only have to provide the receivers with enough innovative packets. In addition, network coding allows for improved throughput and error robustness in multipath transmission where the network nodes participate to increase the symbol diversity in the system. We review in this chapter the most popular rateless codes that enable the deployment of low-cost decentralized communication protocols in self-organized dynamic networks. We then describe their application in distributed multimedia streaming solutions. We further discuss the most popular network coding algorithms in practical media streaming schemes. Finally, we show that hybrid systems based on both rateless coding and network coding can deliver high quality media streams with low computational complexity, as they permit to benefit from both server and path diversity in overlay architectures.

Reinforcement Learning-Based Joint Reliability and Performance Optimization for Hybrid-Cache Computing Servers Huang, Darong Pahlevan, Ali Costero, Luis Zapater Sancho, Marina Atienza Alonso, David Computing servers hybrid-cache reliability management preemptive queue management performance optimization reinforcement learning Computing servers play a key role in the development and process of emerging compute-intensive applications in recent years. However, they need to operate efficiently from an energy perspective viewpoint, while maximizing the performance and lifetime of the hottest server components (i.e., cores and cache). Previous methods focused on either improving energy efficiency by adopting new hybrid-cache architectures including the resistive random-access memory (RRAM) and static random-access memory (SRAM) at the hardware level, or exploring trade-offs between lifetime limitation and performance of multi-core processors under stable workloads conditions. Therefore, no work has so far proposed a co-optimization method with hybrid-cache-based server architectures for real-life dynamic scenarios taking into account scalability, performance, lifetime reliability, and energy efficiency at the same time. In this paper, we first formulate a reliability model for the hybrid-cache architecture to enable precise lifetime reliability management and energy efficiency optimization. We also include the performance and energy overheads of cache switching, and optimize the benefits of hybrid-cache usage for better energy efficiency and performance. Then, we propose a runtime Q-Learning-based reliability management and performance optimization approach for multi-core microprocessors with the hybrid-cache architecture, jointly incorporated with a dynamic preemptive priority queue management method to improve the overall tasks' performance by targeting to respect their end time limits. Experimental results show that our proposed method achieves up to 44% average performance (i.e., tasks execution time) improvement, while maintaining the whole system design lifetime longer than 5 years, when compared to the latest state-of-the-art energy efficiency optimization and reliability management methods for computing servers.

Identifying invariant solutions of wall-bounded three-dimensional shear flows using robust adjoint-based variational techniques Ashtari, Omid Schneider, Tobias M Technology Physical Sciences Variational Methods Invariant solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations play an important role in the spatiotemporally chaotic dynamics of turbulent shear flows. Despite the significance of these solutions, their identification remains a computational challenge, rendering many solutions inaccessible and thus hindering progress towards a dynamical description of turbulence in terms of invariant solutions. We compute equilibria of three-dimensional wall-bounded shear flows using an adjoint-based matrix-free variational approach. To address the challenge of computing pressure in the presence of solid walls, we develop a formulation that circumvents the explicit construction of pressure and instead employs the influence matrix method. Together with a data-driven convergence acceleration technique based on dynamic mode decomposition, this yields a practically feasible alternative to state-of-the-art Newton methods for converging equilibrium solutions. We compute multiple equilibria of plane Couette flow starting from inaccurate guesses extracted from a turbulent time series. The variational method outperforms Newton(-hookstep) iterations in converging successfully from poor initial guesses, suggesting a larger convergence radius.

These reward signals may shape motor output in its final stages, influencing movement invigoration and motor learning. In this Perspective, we highlight the functional roles of M1 reward signals and propose how they could guide advances in neurotechnologies for movement restoration, specifically brain-computer interfaces and non-invasive brain stimulation. Understanding M1 reward signals may open new avenues for enhancing motor control and rehabilitation.

Effects Of Extrinsic Reward Based Skill Learning On Motor Plasticity Yadav, Goldy Vassiliadis, Pierre Dubuc, Cécile Hummel, Friedhelm C. Derosière, Gérard Duqué, Julie Human motor skill acquisition is improved by performance feedback and coupling such feedback with extrinsic reward (such as money) can enhance skill learning. However, the neurophysiology underlying such behavioral effect is unclear. To bridge this gap, we assessed the effects of reward on multiple forms of motor plasticity during skill learning. Sixty-five healthy participants divided in three groups performed a pinch-grip skill task with sensory feedback only, sensory and reinforcement feedback or both feedback coupled with an extrinsic monetary reward during skill training. To probe motor plasticity, we applied transcranial magnetic stimulation on the left primary motor cortex at rest before, during and after training in the three groups. We evaluated the amplitude and variability of corticospinal output, GABA-ergic short-intracortical inhibition and use-dependent plasticity before training and at two time points during and after training. At the behavioral level, monetary reward accelerated skill learning. In parallel, corticospinal output became less variable early on during training in the presence of extrinsic reward. Interestingly, this effect was particularly pronounced for participants who were more sensitive to reward, as evaluated in an independent questionnaire. Other measures of motor excitability remained comparable across groups. These findings highlight that a mechanism underlying the benefit of reward on motor skill learning is the fine tuning of early-training resting-state corticospinal variability. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Skill acquisition is enhanced in the presence of reward. Despite its potential clinical relevance for motor rehabilitation, the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Specifically, whether reward affects the plasticity of motor cortex in the context of skill learning is unclear. We show that reward reduces the variability of corticospinal output at an early stage during training and that this effect correlates with individual sensitivity to reward. Our results suggest that a key mechanism underlying the beneficial effect of reward on motor skill learning may be an increase in the stability of motor output in response to training during early stages of skill learning.

Phosphorylation of α-synuclein is crucial in compensating for proteasomal dysfunction Choi, Hee Soon Liew, Hyunjeong Jang, Ahram Kim, Yun-Mi Lashuel, Hilal Suh, Yoo-Hun alpha-Synuclein Phosphorylation HSC70 Lysosome Proteasome α-Synuclein can be degraded by both the ubiquitin-proteasomal system and the chaperone-lysosomal system. However, the switching mechanism between the two pathways is not clearly understood. In our study, we investigated the mutual association between the binding of α-synuclein to heat shock cognate 70 and the lysosomal translocation of α-synuclein. Tyrosine phosphorylation of Y136 on α-synuclein increased when it bound to heat shock protein 70. We also found that tyrosine phosphorylation of α-synuclein can be regulated by focal adhesion kinase pp125 and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B. Furthermore, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitor protected dopaminergic neurons against cell death and rescued rotarod performance in a Parkinson's disease animal model. This study provides evidence that the regulation of Y136 phosphorylation of α-synuclein can improve behavioral performance and protect against neuronal death by promoting the turnover of lysosomal degradation of α-synuclein. As a result, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitor may be used as a potential therapeutic agent against Parkinson's disease.

Imaging through turbid layers by scanning the phase conjugated second harmonic radiation from a nanoparticle Hsieh, C.-L. Pu, Y. Grange, R. Laporte, G. Psaltis, D. Digital Holographic Microscopy Disordered Media Real-Time Suppression Generation Light Probes We demonstrate imaging through a turbid layer by using digital phase conjugation of the second harmonic field radiated from a beacon nanoparticle. We show that the phase-conjugated focus can be displaced from its initial position by illuminating the same region of the turbid layer with an angular offset. An image is obtained by scanning the phase-conjugated focus through the turbid layer in a region around the nanoparticle. We obtain a clear image of the target by measuring the light transmitted through it when scanning the focused beam. © 2010 Optical Society of America.

Species identity, rather than species mixtures, drives cover crop effects on nutrient partitioning in unfertilized agricultural soil Freund, Lucas Mariotte, Pierre Santonja, Mathieu Buttler, Alexandre Jeangros, Bernard Agronomy Plant Sciences Soil Science Agriculture agro-ecosystem green manure nitrogen phosphorus resource-use complementarity species selection soil fertility nitrogen-fixing legumes plant diversity microbial biomass extraction method organic-matter biodiversity rhizosphere productivity water Aims Previous cover crop studies mainly focused on the links between plant uptake and soil fertility, and there is a clear knowledge gap regarding the role of microbes in these processes. Our aim was then to better understand the effects of plant mixtures (versus monoculture) and the specific effects of each plant species on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) partitioning between plant, soil, and more particularly microbial pools. Methods Monocultures and mixtures composed of black oat, field pea and Indian mustard were grown during two months in a greenhouse. The concentrations of carbon (C), N and P were measured in both plant and microbial biomass at final harvest, together with soil available N and P. Results Overall, our findings highlight stronger selection effect (i.e., presence of key species) rather than complementarity effects (i.e., species mixture) to affect the measured parameters. The presence of pea increased the biomass production of oat and mustard, as well as the nutrient concentration of oat, whereas pea P concentration decreased in presence of oat and mustard N and P concentrations were negatively impacted respectively by the presence of oat and pea. We also observed a strong competition between plants and microbes for both soil N and P. Conclusions The oat-pea and the oat-pea-mustard mixtures represented the best compromise between biomass production, nutrient storage and biomass C:N ratio, thus insuring a good organic matter decomposition and nutrient provision for the following main crop.

Moller, T. free electron laser XUV high intensity The ionization dynamics of He nanodroplets irradiated with intense femtosecond XUV pulses of up to 10^13 W/cm2 power density has been investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy. Helium droplets were resonantly excited to atomic-like 2p states with a photon energy of 21.4 eV below the ionization potential (Ip), and directly into the ionization continuum with 42.8 eV photons. While electron emission following direct ionization above Ip is well explained within a model based on a sequence of direct electron emission events, the resonant excitation provides evidence of a new, collective ionization mechanism involving many excited atomic-like 2p states. With increasing power density the direct photoline due to an interatomic Coulombic decay disappears. It indicates that ionization occurs due to energy exchange between at least three excited atoms proceeding on a femtosecond time scale. In agreement with recent theoretical work the novel ionization process is very efficient and it is expected to be important for many other systems.

Electromagnetic field created by a macroparticle in an infinitel long and axisymmetric multilayer beam pipe Mounet, Nicolas Métral, Elias Accelerators Beams LHC impedance wake This paper aims at giving an as complete and detailed as possible derivation of the six electromagnetic field components created by an offset point charge travelling at any speed in an infinitely long circular multilayer beam pipe. Outcomes from this study are a novel and efficient matrix method for the field matching determination of all the constants involved in the field components, and the generalization to any azimuthal mode together with the final summation on all such modes in the impedance formulas. In particular the multimode direct space-charge impedances (both longitudinal and transverse) are given, as well as the wall impedance to any order of precision. New quadrupolar terms for the transverse wall impedance are found, which look negligible in the ultrarelativistic case but might be of significance for low-energy beams. In principle from this analysis the electromagnetic fields created by any particular source, with a finite transverse shape, can then be computed using convolutions.

CONCEPTION ET DIMENSIONNEMENT D’UNE PONT SUBMERGÉ DANS LE LAC LÉMAN Notrai, Elia Muttoni, Aurelio Le projet de Master prévoit la conception et le dimensionnement d’un pont submergé dans le lac Léman qui permettra de connecter les villes de Lausanne et Genève avec un système de transport à haute vitesse du type MAGLEV. Ce genre de structure représente une alternative performante aux ponts traditionnelles pour le franchissement des surfaces d’eau grâce à l’exploitation d’une ouvrage complétement submergé situé à une profondeur fixe. La solution proposé est composée entièrement de modules préfabriqués en béton armé précontrainte liée monolithiquement ensemble sur place. Le tunnel est réalisé avec 199 éléments cylindrique de ϕ=14.5m et 190m de longueur disposé sur un nombre équivalent de pile avec une configuration structurelle typique des ponts a joint Gerber. Les piles, d’hauteur variable entre 7.5 et 45m, ont une section cylindrique de ϕ=6.0m qui est élargis en tête pour accueillir les appareilles mécaniques d’appuis. Un système de 20 pieux battue ouvert en acier assure la transmission des actions au sol de fondation. Les pièces du pont sont conçues pour avoir une certaine capacité de flottage nécessaire pour les opérations de remorquage. Cette aptitude est réglable à travers deux compartiments de ballast disposé dans le caisson qui permet soit de submergé les pièces que de régler les charges gravitaires pour qu’elles soient parfaitement en équilibre avec la poussée d’Archimède lors de la phase de service. Le tracé du pont se développe principalement le long de la côte du lac à profondeur fixe d’environ 30m. Cette alignement permet de réduire considérablement les actions hydrodynamiques et environnementales tous en garantissant des profondeurs contenues qui facilite les opérations de mise en oeuvre. Le concept structurel proposé peut être certainement adapté pour d’autres projet de ce type.

Evaporation from a small water reservoir: Direct measurements and estimates Tanny, J. Cohen, S. Assouline, S. Lange, F. Grava, A. Berger, D. Teltch, B. Parlange, M.B. Eddy covariance Evaporation models Energy balance Mass transfer Summary Knowing the rate of evaporation from surface water resources such as chan¬nels and reservoirs is essential for precise management of the water balance. However, evaporation is difficult to measure experimentally over water surfaces and several tech¬niques and models have been suggested and used in the past for its determination. In this research, evaporation from a small water reservoir in northern Israel was measured and estimated using several experimental techniques and models during the rainless summer. Evaporation was measured with an eddy covariance (EC) system consisting of a three-dimensional sonic anemometer and a Krypton hygrometer. Measurements of net radia¬tion, air temperature and humidity, and water temperature enabled estimation of other energy balance components. Several models and energy balance closure were evaluated. In addition, evaporation from a class-A pan was measured at the site. EC evaporation measurements for 21 days averaged 5.48 mm day�1. Best model predictions were obtained with two combined flux-gradient and energy balance models (Penman–Mon¬teith–Unsworth and Penman–Brutsaert), which with the water heat flux term, gave sim¬ilar daily average evaporation rates, that were up to 3% smaller than the corresponding EC values. The ratio between daily pan and EC evaporation varied from 0.96 to 1.94. The bulk mass transfer coefficient was estimated using a model based on measurements of water surface temperature, evaporation rate and absolute humidity at 0.9 and 2.9 m above the water surface, and using two theoretical approaches. The bulk transfer coefficient.

CERN LHC Coll hydrodynamics initial state: fluctuation correlation: long-range rapidity: correlation CMS p nucleus: scattering heavy ion: scattering lead cumulant expansion elliptic flow experimental results 5020 GeV-cms/nucleon The second-order azimuthal anisotropy Fourier harmonics, v2, are obtained in p-Pb and PbPb collisions over a wide pseudorapidity (η) range based on correlations among six or more charged particles. The p-Pb data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35  nb−1, were collected during the 2013 LHC p-Pb run at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02  TeV by the CMS experiment. A sample of semiperipheral PbPb collision data at sNN=2.76  TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.5  μb-1 and covering a similar range of particle multiplicities as the p-Pb data, is also analyzed for comparison. The six- and eight-particle cumulant and the Lee-Yang zeros methods are used to extract the v2 coefficients, extending previous studies of two- and four-particle correlations. For both the p-Pb and PbPb systems, the v2 values obtained with correlations among more than four particles are consistent with previously published four-particle results. These data support the interpretation of a collective origin for the previously observed long-range (large Δη) correlations in both systems. The ratios of v2 values corresponding to correlations including different numbers of particles are compared to theoretical predictions that assume a hydrodynamic behavior of a p-Pb system dominated by fluctuations in the positions of participant nucleons. These results provide new insights into the multiparticle dynamics of collision systems with a very small overlapping region.

Champs de contraintes pour le béton structural Muttoni, Aurelio Fernández Ruiz, Miguel reinforced concrete béton armé design dimensionnement Les champs de contraintes constituent un outil basé sur le théorème statique (ou borne inférieure) de la théorie de la plasticité. Cet outil peut être utilisé pour dimensionner et vérifier la sécurité structurale d’éléments en béton armé et précontraint. La norme SIA 262 pour la construction en béton se base sur cette méthode. Il existe d’autres méthodes de calcul pour le béton structural basées sur la théorie de la plasticité, dont la plus connue est celle des bielles-et-tirants, qui exploite l’analogie du treillis. Nous allons résumer les principes de ces deux méthodes ainsi que leur application conjointe à un cas concret.

Incremental Learning of Gestures by Imitation in a Humanoid Robot Calinon, S. Billard, A. Robot Programming by Demonstration (RbD) Learning by Imitation Incremental learning Active teaching Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) Gaussian Mixture Regression (GMR) We present an approach to teach incrementally human gestures to a humanoid robot. The learning process consists of first projecting the movement data in a latent space and encoding the resulting signals in a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). We compare the performance of two incremental training procedures against a batch training procedure. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations are performed on data acquired from motion sensors attached to a human demonstrator and data acquired by kinesthetically demonstrating the task to the robot. We present experiments to show that these different modalities can be used to teach incrementally basketball officials' signals to a HOAP- 3 humanoid robot.

Fabrication and Characterization of 1-D diffusing elements Bitterli, R. Kim, M.-S. Scharf, T. Herzig, H. P. Characterization Laser Certain high power laser applications require thin homogeneous laser lines. In this paper we describe the concept, fabrication and characterization of a 1-D diffuser that generates such a line. The device is based on an array of concave cylinder lenses with a statistically distributed width and a fix radius of curvature. The fabrication is based on isotropic wet etching of fused silica. Measurement results are compared to simulation which show good agreement.

A microfluidics platform for combinatorial drug screening on cancer biopsies Eduati, Federica Utharala, Ramesh Madhavan, Dharanija Neumann, Ulf Peter Longerich, Thomas Cramer, Thorsten Saez-Rodriguez, Julio Merten, Christoph Screening drugs on patient biopsies from solid tumours has immense potential, but is challenging due to the small amount of available material. To address this, we present here a plug-based microfluidics platform for functional screening of drug combinations. Integrated Braille valves allow changing the plug composition on demand and enable collecting >1200 data points (56 different conditions with at least 20 replicates each) per biopsy. After deriving and validating efficient and specific drug combinations for two genetically different pancreatic cancer cell lines and xenograft mouse models, we additionally screen live cells from human solid tumours with no need for ex vivo culturing steps, and obtain highly specific sensitivity profiles. The entire workflow can be completed within 48 h at assay costs of less than US$ 150 per patient. We believe this can pave the way for rapid determination of optimal personalized cancer therapies.

Spatial Fringe Analysis Methods and their Application to Holographic Interferometry and Fringe Projection Techniques Gorthi, Sai Siva Rastogi, Pramod Optical metrology Holography interferometry Fringe projection techniques Fringe analysis Filtering Phase unwrapping Strain estimation Time evolution studies métrologie optique interférométrie technique de projection de frange analyse de frange estimation de la déformation études de l'évolution en fonction du temps To date, no fringe analysis technique has the capability to provide simultaneous and direct estimation of the continuous distributions corresponding to the interference phase and its first and second-order derivatives within the framework of a single interferometric configuration. Achieving this task would provide a significant advancement in the field of optical metrology as it allows for the measurement of displacement, strain, and curvature of a deformed object and avoids the necessity of using filtering and unwrapping procedures, multiple analysis techniques, and multiple interferometric configurations. Developing such a spatial fringe analysis method with the added advantage of having less computational complexity would open up avenues for making real-time measurements such as in the study of temporal evolution of deformation and/or strain. This thesis presents a novel approach based on piecewise polynomial phase approximation as an elegant all-in-one solution to the problems mentioned above. This approach has given birth to several advanced fringe analysis methods such as discrete-chirp-Fourier transform method, high-order instantaneous moments method, and cubic-phase function method. Significant advancements brought in the field by these methods are made evident by both theoretical analysis (simulation results) and by experimental demonstrations such as the measurement of displacement, strain and curvature in digital holographic interferometry and the measurement of 3D shape, temporal evolution of deformation and/or strain in fringe projection techniques.

Orientation selection in dendritic evolution Haxhimali, T. Karma, Alain Gonzales, Frédéric Rappaz, Michel Computational and experimental demonstration of dendritic crystal growth direction and the morphologic diversity of the resulting dendritic structures are discussed. The primary dendrite growth directions can vary continuously between different crystallographic directions as a function of the composition-dependent anisotropy parameters. The dendritic microstructure of chemically etched and electropolished longitudinal sections of solidified alloys was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) orientation measurements. The experimental results shows the change of dendritic growth direction of compositions as a function of anisotropy in the phase-field simulation. The similarities between the computational and the experimental results strongly supports the hypothesis that the change of anisotropy parameters with the composition is the underlying mechanism of the damage of growth direction observed experimentally.

Towards effective visual information storage on DNA support Secilmis, Luka Testolina, Michela Lazzarotto, Davi Ebrahimi, Touradj DNA is an excellent medium for efficient storage of information. Not only it offers a long-term and robust mechanism but also it is environmental friendly and has an unparalleled storage capacity, However, the basic elements in DNA are quaternary, and therefore there is a need for efficient coding of information in quaternary representation while taking into account various biochemical constraints involved. Such constraints create additional complexity on how information should be represented in quaternary code. In this paper, an efficient solution for the storage of JPEG compressed images is proposed. The focus on JPEG file format is motivated by the fact that it is a popular representation of digital pictures. The proposed approach converts an already coded image in JPEG format to a counterpart represented in quaternary representation while taking into account the intrinsic structure of the former. The superiority of the proposed approach is demonstrated by comparing its rate distortion performance to two alternative approaches, namely, a direct transcoding of the binary JPEG compressed file into a quaternary codestream without taking into account its underlying structure, and a complete JPEG decoding followed by an image encoding for DNA storage.

Micro 3D printing of a functional MEMS accelerometer Pagliano, Simone Marschner, David E. Maillard, Damien Ehrmann, Nils Stemme, Goran Braun, Stefan Villanueva, Luis Guillermo Niklaus, Frank Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Instruments & Instrumentation Science & Technology - Other Topics fabrication Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices, such as accelerometers, are widely used across industries, including the automotive, consumer electronics, and medical industries. MEMS are efficiently produced at very high volumes using large-scale semiconductor manufacturing techniques. However, these techniques are not viable for the costefficient manufacturing of specialized MEMS devices at low- and medium-scale volumes. Thus, applications that require custom-designed MEMS devices for markets with low- and medium-scale volumes of below 5000-10,000 components per year are extremely difficult to address efficiently. The 3D printing of MEMS devices could enable the efficient realization and production of MEMS devices at these low- and medium-scale volumes. However, current micro-3D printing technologies have limited capabilities for printing functional MEMS. Herein, we demonstrate a functional 3D-printed MEMS accelerometer using 3D printing by two-photon polymerization in combination with the deposition of a strain gauge transducer by metal evaporation. We characterized the responsivity, resonance frequency, and stability over time of the MEMS accelerometer. Our results demonstrate that the 3D printing of functional MEMS is a viable approach that could enable the efficient realization of a variety of custom-designed MEMS devices, addressing new application areas that are difficult or impossible to address using conventional MEMS manufacturing.

Finite time blow up for the energy critical Zakharov system I: approximate solutions Krieger, Joachim Schmid, Tobias Johannes Mathematics - Analysis of PDEs We construct approximate solutions $ (\psi_*, n_*)$ of the critical 4D Zakharov system which collapse in finite time to a singular renormalization of the solitary bulk solutions $ (\lambda e^{i \theta}W, \lambda^2 W^2)$ . To be precise for $ N \in \Z_+, \;N \gg1 $ we obtain a magnetic envelope/ion density pair % just "we obtain functions of the form" instead? of the form \begin{align*} \psi_*(t, x)= e^{i\alpha(t)}\lambda(t) W(\lambda(t)x) + \eta(t, x),\;\;n_*(t,x) = \lambda^2(t) W^2(\lambda(t) x) + \chi(t,x), \end{align*} where $ W(x) = (1 + \frac{|x|^2}{8})^{-1}$, \;$\alpha(t) = \alpha_0 \log(t),~\lambda(t)= t^{-\frac{1}{2}-\nu}$ with large $\nu > 1 $ and further \begin{align*} & i \partial_t \psi_* + \triangle \psi_* + n_* \psi_* = \mathcal{O}(t^N),\;\; \square n_* - \triangle (|\psi_*|^2) = \mathcal{O}(t^N),\\ & \eta(t) \to \eta_0,\;\; \chi(t) \to \chi_0, \end{align*} as $ t \to 0^+$ in a suitable sense.

Terminal maritime à Split (Croatie) Dubuis, Gilles O'Connell, Johann génie civil et transports urbanisme et aménagement du territoire pont, aqueduc, viaduc route tunnel ou ouvrage souterrain bâtiment maritime ou fluvial, chantier naval, port parking aménagement de centre ville restructuration urbaine nouvelle construction aménagement du territoire, urbanisme, insertion urbaine béton ville mer, océan Split Spalacijuni Obala kneza Dalmatie Croatie Europe Après 40 ans de statu quo provoqué par l'expérience autogestionnaire de Tito, puis la guerre civile, Split, épargnée par le conflit, reste une ville presque intacte. Aujourd'hui la ville prépare son futur. L'image de la guerre s'estompe, la Croatie négocie son entrée dans l'Europe, le tourisme remonte en flèche. La ville se prépare à cet engouement économique: nouveau plan d'aménagement, développement des réseaux maritimes et urbains, augmentation de la population résidente: les transformations à l'échelle de la ville si longtemps retardées sont sur le point de se produire. Le projet de terminal est l'occasion de questionner la ville, en profitant de la dynamique d'un tel chantier. Il n'est qu'une partie des transformations décidées par la ville, qui projette également un nouveau pôle de circulation, dans le quartier de Kopilica, sur le site de la gare de Split Pregrad, un métro reliant ce pôle avec la ville historique, ainsi que de nouveaux terminaux au Nord de la ville. L'enjeu du projet se comprend d'abord à l'échelle urbaine: comment utiliser ces nouvelles ressources pour contrer la séparation programmée entre le centre historique/touristique et sa périphérie, et en faire le matériau constitutif d'une entité supérieure réunissant deux portions de ville que tout sépare. La thématique de la construction dans le temps, au cœur d'une ville sans cesse renouvelée sur elle-même, irrigue la réflexion à l'échelle locale.

Efficient computation of RCS from scatterers of uncertain shapes Chauviere, Cedric Hesthaven, Jan S. Wilcox, Lucas C. Maxwell's equations spectral methods uncertainty quantification We propose a way of accounting for the lack of detailed knowledge about material shapes in computational time-domain electromagnetics. We use Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto, Stroud-2 and Stroud-3 quadrature formulas to solve the resulting stochastic equation and we show the efficiency of the proposed method over statistical Monte Carlo simulations. We also show how the radar cross section (RCS) in scattering is affected by the uncertainty in shape of the objects and by the direction of the incident field.

Analyse de l’intermodalité fret en Suisse Chevroulet, Tristan Sevestre, Aymeric intermodalité rail route fret trafic transalpin politique des transports Cet article fournit une analyse du transport intermodal en Suisse. Il fait partie de la série d’expertises indépendantes effectuées pour l’Observatoire des Politiques et Stratégies de Transport en Europe. La principale composante du trafic intermodal en Suisse est le transit international (90%), où le trajet Nord-Sud domine nettement. Ce transit est réparti en parts relativement égales entre le transport routier, le combiné rail-route (dont l’autoroute roulante, qui ne représente que 4% du transit) et le ferroviaire traditionnel. Actuellement, le transport intermodal croît parallèlement au transport routier, mais il ne lui reprend pas de parts de marché. Les prévisions pour 2030 sont plus favorables au rail. This paper provides an analysis of intermodal transport in Switzerland. It is part of a series of independent expertises carried out for the Observatory of Transport Policies and Strategies in Europe. Intermodal transport in Switzerland is composed, as far as 90% of it is concerned, of international traffic in transit and especially of transit along the North- South axis. Intermodal transport in transit is divided rather equally amongst road transport, rail-road transport (of which the far more spoken about than really significant ‘piggy back’, with only 4% of transit) and traditional rail traffic. So far, intermodal transport has only experienced a growth in parallel to that of road transport, without taking a larger share of the market. Forecasts for 2030 envisage a stronger growth on rail than on road. LEM-CDM JEL classification : R42, R48, R49. CDM Working Papers Series.

Visible light contributions transform CO2 into higher hydrocarbons during Fischer Tropsch synthesis over K-Fe catalysts Zhu, Yi Fen Yuwono, Jodie A. Wilson, Meriadoc Xie, Bingqiao Kumar, Priyank Amal, Rose Scott, Jason Lovell, Emma C. Catalyst activation CO2 Fischer Tropsch synthesis Light-assisted thermal catalysis Solar fuel synthesis Current C2+ hydrocarbon production from fossil fuel feedstocks will in-time be replaced by alternate synthesis methods involving cleaner energy strategies. One approach is to incorporate direct sunlight during catalytic C2+ synthesis via the modified Fisher Tropsch synthesis (CO2-FTS) reaction. Light-driven studies targeting C2+ products from CO2 under high-pressure conditions are scarce. Herein, we demonstrate that direct visible light illumination can selectively boost hydrocarbon synthesis by a K-promoted Fe catalyst during the high pressure (23 bar), thermal catalytic CO2-FTS reaction. Visible light illumination imparts carrier-induced benefits to amplify CO activation and hydrocarbon synthesis. Visible light illumination modifies the surface charge of Fe. This promotes CO adsorption and C-O bond lengthening over the K-Fe catalysts, and dissociation to *C. The light-enhanced *C production boosted Fe carbide formation which facilitates FTS. Concurrently, *C hydrogenation leads to hydrocarbon synthesis. The findings offer new insight into the cascading impact of light within dynamic catalytic systems arising from the interdependence between catalyst activation and performance.

Vibration Serviceability Assessment for Pedestrian Bridges Based on Model Falsification Cao, Wen-Jun Koh, C. G. Smith, Ian F. C. With the development of new materials and advanced structural analysis, alongside increasing aesthetic requirements, recent years have witnessed a trend toward longer, taller, and lighter footbridges. Different from vehicular bridges, footbridges carry relatively small service loads and are more susceptible to vibrations, due to their lower stiffness, damping, and modal mass. More often than not, vibration serviceability limit state governs the design of footbridges. Providing an accurate evaluation of vibration serviceability performance of existing bridges requires techniques that can include modeling and measurement uncertainties. In this paper, a population-based method called error-domain model falsification (EDMF) is used to assess the vibration serviceability for two pedestrian bridges: Fort Siloso Skywalk located in Singapore and the Dowling Hall Footbridge located at Tufts University in the United States. The unknown properties of the footbridges are identified using the ambient vibration data measured on site. This method is also compared with two other data-interpretation methodologies, that is, residual minimization and traditional Bayesian model updating. The findings show that, through explicitly accounting for measurement and modeling uncertainties, EDMF can provide more accurate identification and prediction results for vibration serviceability assessment of pedestrian bridges.

The effect of aggressive early deflation on the convergence of the QR algorithm Kressner, D. Aggressive early deflation has proven to significantly enhance the convergence of the QR algorithm for computing the eigenvalues of a nonsymmetric matrix. One purpose of this paper is to point out that this deflation strategy is equivalent to extracting converged Ritz vectors from certain Krylov subspaces. As a special case, the single-shift QR algorithm enhanced with aggressive early deflation corresponds to a Krylov subspace method whose starting vector undergoes a Rayleighquotient iteration. It is shown how these observations can be used to derive improved convergence bounds for the QR algorithm. © 2008 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.

Prospects and Challenges for the Conservation of Farm Animal Genomic Resources, 2015-2025 Bruford, Michael William Ginja, Catarina Hoffmann, Irene Joost, Stéphane Orozco-terWengel, Pablo Farm animal genetic resources livestock genetic resources Genomic Diversity livestock population prioritisation effective conservation policy Livestock conservation practice is changing rapidly in light of policy, climate change and market demands. The last decade saw a step change in technological and analytical approaches to define, manage and conserve Farm Animal Genomic Resources (FAnGR). These changes pose challenges for FAnGR conservation in terms of technological continuity, analytical capacity and the methodologies needed to exploit new, multidimensional data. The ESF Genomic Resources program final conference addressed these problems attempting to contribute to the development of the research and policy agenda for the next decade. We broadly identified four areas related to methodological and analytical challenges, data management and conservation. The overall conclusion is that there is a need for the use of current state-of-the-art tools to characterise the state of genomic resources in non-commercial and local breeds. The livestock genomic sector, which has been relatively well-organised in applying such methodologies so far, needs to make a concerted effort in the coming decade to enable to the democratisation of the powerful tools that are now at its disposal, and to ensure that they are applied in the context of breed conservation as well as development.

Pansynaptic Enlargement at Adult Cortical Connections Strengthened by Experience Cheetham, Claire E. J. Barnes, Samuel J. Albieri, Giorgia Knott, Graham W. Finnerty, Gerald T. barrel cortex confocal microscopy electrophysiology experience-dependent plasticity structural plasticity Behavioral experience alters the strength of neuronal connections in adult neocortex. These changes in synaptic strength are thought to be central to experience-dependent plasticity, learning, and memory. However, it is not known how changes in synaptic transmission between neurons become persistent, thereby enabling the storage of previous experience. A long-standing hypothesis is that altered synaptic strength is maintained by structural modifications to synapses. However, the extent of synaptic modifications and the changes in neurotransmission that the modifications support remain unclear. To address these questions, we recorded from pairs of synaptically connected layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in the barrel cortex and imaged their contacts with high-resolution confocal microscopy after altering sensory experience by whisker trimming. Excitatory connections strengthened by experience exhibited larger axonal varicosities, dendritic spines, and interposed contact zones. Electron microscopy showed that contact zone size was strongly correlated with postsynaptic density area. Therefore, our findings indicate that whole synapses are larger at strengthened connections. Synaptic transmission was both stronger and more reliable following experience-dependent synapse enlargement. Hence, sensory experience modified both presynaptic and postsynaptic function. Our findings suggest that the enlargement of synaptic contacts is an integral part of long-lasting strengthening of cortical connections and, hence, of information storage in the neocortex.

Enhancing Chondrocyte Biosynthetic Activities: Harnessing the Power of Loading-Induced Evolved Temperature Stampoultzis, Theofanis Pioletti, Dominique Mechanotransduction Cartilage thermo-mechanobiology Cartilage self-heating Bioreactors Hypoxia Supramolecular hydrogels Primary human chondrocytes Chondrocytes within articular cartilage possess the capacity to perceive and react to signals generated by the typical load-bearing actions of daily life, such as walking or running. Articular cartilage is predominantly oriented toward compression-based functionality, and thus the application of such stimuli dominates the field of cartilage regeneration. Nonetheless, despite its potential significance, physiological variations in temperature within the cartilage, associated with mechanical deformation of this tissue, and their biological consequences are still poorly studied. This thesis aims to comprehensively investigate the impact of a transient temperature increase on chondrocyte functionality in knee cartilage. Drawing on an original in vitro investigation of cartilage thermo-mechanobiology, this thesis unearths the hidden influence of temperature increase on this exquisite tissue, shedding new light on the complex interplay between mechanical and thermal stimuli on chondrocyte function. Employing a biomimetic approach, we commence by probing into the cellular effects of temperature increase during cyclic loading, unmasking its profound significance in the realm of cartilage mechanobiology. The research findings provide robust evidence substantiating that the synergy between mechanical signals and a biomimetic thermal increase elicits a remarkable amplification in the accumulation of major chondrogenic markers. Furthermore, this distinctive thermo-mechanical combination engenders a significant upregulation of temperature-gated (TREK1) and mechano-gated ion channels (TRPV4), further elucidating underlying thermo-mechanotransduction mechanisms. Expanding on these insights, we next shift our focus to the intricate relationship between loading-induced evolved temperature and hypoxia, another pivotal factor known to significantly influence chondrocyte function. Utilizing a state-of-the-art bioreactor and chondrocyte-laden hydrogels (specifically, single network covalent-based hydrogels) under controlled conditions, we further elucidate this complex relationship. Our findings challenge the traditional paradigm of solely focusing on mechanical attributes in cartilage, highlighting the influential role of multiple, co-existing stressors on chondrocyte behavior. Beyond investigations using conventional, covalently-crosslinked hydrogels, we extend our endeavors to the field of biomaterials by developing double network supramolecular hydrogels. These hydrogels use dynamic host-guest links to mimic hyaline cartilage's natural dynamism, fostering a favorable environment for cell encapsulation, as illustrated by enhanced mRNA transcription and synthesis of cartilage-related proteins. Next, through external application of load, heat, and hypoxia, we observe synergistic enhancements in chondrocyte biosynthetic activity (predominantly in collagen and aggrecan expression), surpassing the effects observed in conventional (single network covalent-based) hydrogels subjected to the same conditions. Our novel approach presents a unique and compelling perspective on the inextricable interplay between biomimetic temperature evolution, hypoxia and cartilage mechanobiology, propelling the significance of thermo-mechanical cues and matrix dynamism to the forefront of bio-engineering strategies for cartilage repair.

An ancestral regulatory mechanism underlies Hoxd gene expression in both developing genitals and digits Lonfat, Nicolas Duboule, Denis Hox gene regulation transcription genital tubercle external genitalia digits epigenetic chromatin enhancers topological domains regulatory landscape long-range control genomic imprinting Dlx genes Itga6 DNA methylation chromatin architecture Coordinated expression of HoxD cluster genes is crucial for the emergence and patterning of both developing digits and external genitalia. As a shared evolutionary origin has been proposed for these secondary structures, which may have accompanied the transition from an aquatic towards a terrestrial life, we investigated whether the regulatory circuitries would also share similarities, indicating a common phylogenetic origin. We show that the transcription of posterior Hoxd genes in the distal part of these different appendages depends, in both cases, upon enhancer sequences located centromeric to the cluster, in a gene poor region, previously described as forming a regulatory archipelago in digit cells. Analysis of the epigenetic status and spatial conformation of the HoxD cluster and its centromeric neighborhood has identified several putative regulatory elements that interact with Hoxd genes via chromatin looping in the developing genital tubercle. In vivo, targeted deletions within the centromeric gene desert further revealed the requirement of these sequences for Hoxd genes transcription in this embryonic structure. We used lentivirus-mediated transgenesis to evaluate the enhancer activity of the identified regulatory elements. While some sequences were able to drive a reporter gene in both digits and genitalia, others were specific for either one of these two structures. We identified Cdx2 transcription factor as a putative interactor of the genitalspecific enhancers. These results suggest a common ancestral regulatory strategy for digits and genitals, yet with specific adaptations in each developmental context. This work should help understand the regulatory mechanism underlying Hoxd gene expression in the genital tubercle and digits, as well as the phylogenetic histories of such global regulations.

On the Structure of Graphs with Low Obstacle Number Pach, Janos Sarioez, Deniz Obstacle number Visibility graph Hereditary graph property Forbidden induced subgraphs Split graphs Enumeration Excluding Induced Subgraphs The obstacle number of a graph G is the smallest number of polygonal obstacles in the plane with the property that the vertices of G can be represented by distinct points such that two of them see each other if and only if the corresponding vertices are joined by an edge. We list three small graphs that require more than one obstacle. Using extremal graph theoretic tools developed by Promel, Steger, Bollobas, Thomason, and others, we deduce that for any fixed integer h, the total number of graphs on n vertices with obstacle number at most h is at most 2(0(n2)). This implies that there are bipartite graphs with arbitrarily large obstacle number, which answers a question of Alpert et al.

However, with the increasing number of processors, the cost for managing a single centralized list becomes prohibitive. The objective of this work is to study the extra cost that must be paid when the list is distributed among the processors. We present a general methodology for computing the expected makespan based on the analysis of an adequate potential function which represents the load unbalance between the local lists. A bound on the deviation from the mean is also derived. Then, we apply this technique to show that the expected makespan for scheduling W unit independent tasks on m processors is equal to W/m with an additional term in 3.65log_2 W. Moreover, simulations show that our bound is very close to the exact value, approximately 50\% off. This new analysis also enables to study the influence of the initial repartition of tasks and the reduction of the number of steals when several thieves can simultaneously steal work in the same processor's list.

Beta amyloid and hyperphosphorylated tau deposits in the pancreas in type 2 diabetes Miklossy, J. Qing, H. Radenovic, A. Kis, A. Villeno, B. Forro, L. Miller, L. Martins, R. Waeberf, G. Mooser, V.

Alzheimer's disease Amylin Beta amyloid Apolipoprotein-E Apolipoprotein-a APP LPS Type 2 diabetes IB1/JIP-1 JNK-1 Tau Ubiquitin Strong epidemiologic evidence suggests an association between Alzheimer disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes. To determine if amyloid beta (A$\beta$) and hyperphosphorylated tau occurs in type 2 diabetes, pancreas tissues from 21 autopsy cases (10 type 2 diabetes and 11 controls) were analyzed. APP and tau mRNAs were identified in human pancreas and in cultured insulinoma beta cells (INS-1) by RT-PCR. Prominent APP and tau bands were detected by Western blotting in pancreatic extracts. Aggregated A$\beta$, hyperphosphorylated tau, ubiquitin, apolipoprotein E, apolipoprotein(a), IB1/JIP-1 and JNK1 were detected in Langerhans islets in type 2 diabetic patients. A$\beta$ was co-localized with amylin in islet amyloid deposits. In situ beta sheet formation of islet amyloid deposits was shown by infrared microspectroscopy (SIRMS). LPS increased APP in non-neuronal cells as well. We conclude that A$\beta$ deposits and hyperphosphorylated tau are also associated with type 2 diabetes, highlighting common pathogenetic features in neurodegenerative disorders, including AD and type 2 diabetes and suggesting that A deposits and hyperphosphorylated tau may also occur in other organs than the brain.

Window Size Effects on Subjective Impressions of Daylit Spaces: Indoor Studies at High Latitudes Using Virtual Reality Moscoso, Claudia Chamilothori, Kynthia Wienold, Jan Andersen, Marilyne Matusiak, Barbara window size subjective impressions high latitudes perception virtual reality daylight Daylight provision to the indoor space is affected by different building elements that cannot be fully controlled by the users, such as the window size of a space. The dimensions of the fenestration not only affect the lighting levels, but they also affect how the space is perceived by its users. The present study examines three different window sizes via virtual reality, to study how they affect the perception of both a small and a large space at high latitudes. Additionally, two context scenarios (socializing and working), as well as three different sky types (overcast sky and clear skies with either high or low sun angle) were evaluated. The experimental study applied a mixed design with within-subjects and between-subjects factors. A total of 150 participants evaluated the scenes using a Likert-type scale to rate eight different subjective attributes. The statistical results showed that both window size and space type significantly affect the participants’ spatial perception, as well as their satisfaction with the amount of outside view. Larger windows led to more positively evaluated spaces for all studied attributes. Moreover, a significant interaction was found between window size and type of space for the satisfaction with the amount of view in the space, indicating that the window size was dependent on the type of space in which the windows are located. Specifically, the window sizes were rated higher in the small space than in the large space for the evaluation of amount of view. The findings show that window size affects how people perceive a space, and additionally, that other spatial features, such as space type, affect window size preferences.

Alterations in brain microstructure in rats that develop abnormal aggression following peripubertal stress Walker, Sophie E. Wood, Tobias C. Cash, Diana Mesquita, Michel Williams, Steven C. R. Sandi, Carmen Exposure to early adversity is implicated in the development of aggressive behaviour later in life in some but not all individuals. The reasons for the variability in response to such experiences are not clear but may relate to pre‐existing individual differences that influence their downstream effects. Applying structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to a rat model of abnormal aggression induced by peripubertal stress, we examined whether individual differences in the development of an aggressive phenotype following stress exposure were underpinned by variation in the structure of aggression‐associated, corticolimbic brain regions. We also assessed whether responsiveness of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis to stress was associated with neurobehavioural outcome following adversity. A subset of the rats exposed to peripubertal stress developed an aggressive phenotype, while the remaining rats were affected in other behavioural domains, such as increased anxiety‐like behaviours and reduced sociability. Peripubertal stress led to changes in tissue microstructure within prefrontal cortex, amygdala and hippocampal formation only in those individuals displaying an aggressive phenotype. Attenuated glucocorticoid response to stress during juvenility predicted the subsequent development of an aggressive phenotype in peripubertal stress‐exposed rats. Our study establishes a link between peripubertal stress exposure in rats and structural deviations in brain regions linked to abnormal aggression and points towards low glucocorticoid responsiveness to stress as a potential underlying mechanism. We additionally highlight the importance of considering individual differences in behavioural response to stress when determining neurobiological correlates.

Discovery of macrocyclic inhibitors of challenging protein-protein interactions Will, Edward Jeffrey Heinis, Christian macrocycles cyclic peptides therapeutics drug discovery combinatorial chemistry chemical libraries high-throughput screening protein-protein interactions time-resolved Förster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) hit optimization Macrocycles are a therapeutic modality of interest for drugging challenging disease targets due to their high binding affinity and membrane permeability, enabling the discovery of orally delivered and efficacious therapeutics. Recent methods have enabled the purification-free synthesis of chemically diverse macrocycles and the generation of de novo libraries for high-throughput screening and identification of functional macrocycle inhibitors. However, bottlenecks existed in these approaches which limited peptide synthesis to only thousands of compounds. The goal of my thesis project was to further increase the throughput and diversity of macrocycle library synthesis and to exploit these methods to discover antagonists of important disease targets. In my first project, I upgraded the commercial peptide synthesizer used by our lab to enable the simultaneous synthesis of 4 times as many peptides while using more than 3 times as many amino acids building blocks. While the machine is constructed to use 96-well plates, I found a 384-well filter plate which could be installed in the same machine with minor modifications. Furthermore, instead of storing amino acids in 50 mL tubes as designed, a new amino acid holder was constructed to enable storage of amino acids in 96-well plates. This now enables the use of 100s of amino acids to synthesize 1,536 peptides at once, offering a significant improvement in both library size and diversity towards the discovery of hits against challenging disease targets. In my second project, I have applied these new tools of high-throughput synthesis to prepare a chemical macrocycle library of unprecedented diversity. A design was conceived in which 4-mer peptides would be synthesized from 4 separate pools of 100 amino acid building blocks. These pools were filled from a total of 242 and then the 1,536 resulting disulfide-cyclized peptides were received in high purity. These peptides were then coupled at nanomole-scale with 20 carboxylic acids in solution from a total set of 347. In total, a library of 30,720 macrocycles was created from 589 chemical building blocks. This library was screened against the MDM2/p53 protein-protein interaction from which a sub-micromolar inhibitor was identified. In my third project, I again applied these tools to prepare a macrocycle library which was targeted for binding to the IL-23 receptor at the binding site of IL-23. This library was synthesized in a similar fashion in which 1,536 disulfide-cyclized peptides were made from 241 amino acids and then diversified into 30,720 products by coupling to a pool of 320 carboxylic acids. One of the disulfide-cyclized peptides was found to yield activity in a highly sequence-specific fashion. The scaffold was further optimized by the synthesis and screening of several sub-libraries in which each of the five building blocks was substituted with many additional analogues, yielding a 100-fold improvement in activity. This binding was confirmed by fluorescence polarization, however it was found to depend on the presence of a recombinant Fc tag. When the Fc tag was removed, a 100-fold loss in activity was observed with only a moderate binding affinity to the IL-23 receptor itself (IC50 of 1.6 µM).

Objective Speech Intelligibility Assessment through Comparison of Phoneme Class Conditional Probability Sequences Ullmann, Raphael Magimai.-Doss, Mathew Bourlard, Hervé Artificial Neural Networks KL-divergence Objective intelligibility phonemes Speech intelligibility Assessment of speech intelligibility is important for the development of speech systems, such as telephony systems and text-to-speech (TTS) systems. Existing approaches to the automatic assessment of intelligibility in telephony typically compare a reference speech signal to a degraded copy, which requires that both signals be from the same speaker. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that does not have such a requirement, making it possible to also evaluate TTS systems and recent very low bit rate codecs that may modify speaker characteristics. More specifically, our approach is based on comparing sequences of phoneme class conditional probabilities. We show the potential of our approach on low bit rate telephony conditions, and compare it against subjective TTS intelligibility scores from the 2011 Blizzard Challenge.

Simulation of the scrape-off layer region of tokamak devices Ricci, Paolo CRPP_EDGE Understanding the key processes occurring in the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) is becoming of the outmost importance while we enter the ITER era and we move towards the conception of future fusion reactors. By controlling the heat exhaust, by playing an important role in determining the overall plasma confinement, and by regulating the impurity level in tokamak core, the dynamics of the fusion fuel in the SOL is, in fact, related to some of the most crucial issues that the fusion program is facing today. Because of the limited diagnostic access and in view of predicting the SOL dynamics in future devices, simulations are becoming crucial to address the physics of this region. The present paper, which summarizes the lecture on SOL simulations that was given during the 7th ITER international school (August 25-29, 2014, Aix-en-Provence, France), provides a brief overview of the simulation approaches to the SOL dynamics. First, disentangling the complexity of the system, the key physics processes occurring in the SOL are described. Then, the different simulation approaches to the SOL dynamics are presented, from first-principles kinetic and fluid models, to the phenomenological analysis.

A High-Level Synthesis Flow for the Implementation of Iterative Stencil Loop Algorithms on FPGA Devices Nacci, Alessandro Antonio Rana, Vincenzo Beretta, Ivan Bruschi, Francesco Atienza Alonso, David Sciuto, Donatella EDA High Level Synthesis Iterative stencil loops FPGA Symbolic Execution Embedded Systems Performance and Area Estimation The automatic generation of hardware implementations for a given algorithm is generally a difficult task, especially when data dependencies span across multiple iterations such as in iterative stencil loops (ISLs). In this paper, we introduce an automatic design flow to extract parallelism from an ISL algorithm and perform a design space exploration to identify its best FPGA hardware implementation, in terms of both area and throughput. Experimental results show that the proposed methodology generates hardware designs whose performance is comparable to the one of manually optimized solutions, and orders of magnitude higher than the implementations generated by commercial high-level synthesis tools.

Conflict-Aware Scheduling for Dynamic Content Applications Amza, C. Cox, A. Zwaenepoel, W. We present a new lazy replication technique, suitable for scaling the back-end database of a dynamic content site using a cluster of commodity computers. Our technique, called conflict-aware scheduling, provides both throughput scaling and 1-copy serializability. It has generally been believed that this combination is hard to achieve through replication because of the growth of the number of conflicts. We take advantage of the presence in a database cluster of a scheduler through which all incoming requests pass. We require that transactions specify the tables that they access at the beginning of the transaction. Using that information, a conflictaware scheduler relies on a sequence-numbering scheme to implement 1-copy serializability, and directs incoming queries in such a way that the number of conflicts is reduced. We evaluate conflict-aware scheduling using the TPCW e-commerce benchmark. For small clusters of up to eight database replicas, our evaluation is performed through measurements of a web site implementing the TPC-W specification. We use simulation to extend our measurement results to larger clusters, faster database engines, and lower conflict rates. Our results show that conflict-awareness brings considerable benefits compared to both eager and conflictoblivious lazy replication for a large range of cluster sizes, database speeds, and conflict rates. Conflict-aware scheduling provides near-linear throughput scaling up to a large number of database replicas for the browsing and shopping workloads of TPC-W. For the write-heavy ordering workload, throughput scales, but only to a smaller number of replicas.

Transformation du plot lausannois: repenser le logement collectif face aux mutations sociétales Fleischer, Adrien Delhay, Sophie Fröhlich, Anja Legrand, Capucine habitation habitat collectif rénovation, transformation histoire, réhabilitation du domaine bâti sociologie, sciences sociales ville Lausanne Avenue de France Suisse romande Vaud Suisse Europe La partie théorique de ce travail explorait les potentialités des espaces de distribution, classés en différents types, et leur capacité à devenir des vecteurs de lien social au sein de divers bâtiments de logement collectif. Le projet, quant à lui, propose une relecture du plot lausannois, typologie emblématique du logement collectif bourgeois du XXe siècle, qui compose une part importante du patrimoine bâti de la ville de Lausanne. Il se caractérise par son implantation dans la pente, son ouverture au paysage, ses espaces de distribution généreux et éclairés naturellement. Il s’agit donc d’interroger cette structure héritée du siècle passé face aux mutations contemporaines : vieillissement démographique, atomisation de la société, évolution des modes de vie et hausse du travail à domicile. En densifiant quatre types de plots à l’avenue de France, le projet expérimente de nouvelles formes d’habitat non-spéculatif orientées vers le collectif. Il met ainsi en lumière les capacités de transformation d’un patrimoine ordinaire pour inventer une domesticité contemporaine : partagée, évolutive, accessible et ouverte sur son environnement. Le projet propose une réappropriation collective du bâtiment et de ses abords, par une transformation opérée de l’intérieur, pour donner aux habitant·e·s l’usage de pièces et d’espaces extérieurs conçus comme des biens communs. Au-delà de l’intervention architecturale, ce sont une réflexion sociale et une critique d’un modèle d’habitation désuet qui sont engagées, en faveur d’un habitat capable d’évoluer avec la société et de favoriser la solidarité au quotidien.

Copper-Phosphonate Lamella Intermediates Control the Shape of Colloidal Copper Nanocrystals Pankhurst, James Richard Castilla i Amorós, Laia Stoian, Dragos-Constantin Vávra, Jan Mantella, Valeria Albertini, Petru Pasquale Buonsanti, Raffaella growth nanoparticles co2 nucleation nanosheets templates oxidation reduction Understanding the structure and behavior of intermediates in chemical reactions is key to developing greater control over the reaction outcome. This principle is particularly important in the synthesis of metal nanocrystals (NCs), where the reduction, nucleation and growth of the reaction intermediates will determine the final size and shape of the product. The shape of metal NCs plays a major role in determining their catalytic, photochemical and electronic properties and, thus, the potential applications of the material. In this work, we demonstrate that layered coordination polymers, called lamellae, are reaction intermediates in Cu NC synthesis. Importantly, we discover that the lamella structure can be fine-tuned using organic ligands of different length and that these structural changes control the shape of the final NC. Specifically, we show that short-chain phosphonate ligands generate lamellae that are stable enough at the reaction temperature to facilitate the soft-templating of Cu nuclei into anisotropic Cu NCs, being primarily triangular plates. In contrast, lamellae formed from long-chain ligands lose their structure and form spherical Cu NCs. The synthetic approach presented here provides a versatile tool for the future development of metal NCs, including other anisotropic structures.

Insulation effect on thermal stability of Coated Conductors wires in liquid nitrogen Rubeli, Thomas Dutoit, Bertrand Martynova, Irina Makarevich, Artem Molodyk, Alexander Samoilenkov, Sergey Superconducting wires are not perfectly homogeneous in term of critical current as well as stabilization. In resistive fault current limiter applications this could lead to hot spots if the fault current is only slightly above the nominal current of the device. Increasing stabilization by using thicker silver coating for example may prevent this problem but this method implies longer wire length to maintain the same impedance during a fault. Very efficient cooling in another way to prevent hot spots, this can be achieved in nucleate boiling regime. Optimal insulation can be used to prevent film boiling regime, staying in nucleate boiling regime in a much broader temperature range. In this work a novel technique is used to monitor in real time the temperature of the wire during the quench. Using this method several increasing insulation thicknesses are tested, measuring for each the heat exchange rate to the nitrogen bath. Exchange rate measurements are made in quasistatic regime and during the re-cooling of the wire. SuperOx wires provided with different insulation thicknesses exhibit an excellent stability, far above a bare wire. On the other side, for very thick insulations the stability gain is lost. Re-cooling speeds dependency on insulation thicknesses is measured too.

Mathematical tools for computer-generated ornamental patterns Ostromoukhov, V. Microstructure Imaging This article presents mathematical tools for computer-generated ornamental patterns, with a particular attention payed to Islamic patterns. The article shows how, starting from a photo or a sketch of an ornamental figure, the designer analyzes its structure and produces the analytical representation of the pattern. This analytical representation in turn is used to produce a drawing which is integrated into a computer-generated virtual scene. The mathematical tools for analysis of ornamental patterns consist of a subset of tools usually used in the mathematical theory of tilings such as planar symmetry groups and Cayley diagrams. A simple and intuitive step-by-step guide is provided.

Propagation of fluid driven fractures in transversely isotropic material Moukhtari, Fatima-Ezzahra Lecampion, Brice Tanguy Alphonse Hydraulic fracture mechanics transverse isotropy shear-thinning rheology asymptotic solutions fluid-solid coupling experiments numerical modeling boundary element method tensile fractures. The propagation of fluid driven fractures is used in a number of industrial applications (well stimulation of unconventional reservoirs, development of deep geothermal systems) but also occurs naturally (magmatic dyke intrusion). While the mechanics of hydraulic fractures (HF) in isotropic media is well established, the impact of the anisotropy of natural rocks on HF propagation is still far from being understood. Sedimentary rocks like shales and mudstones are ubiquitous in upper earth crust which are made of fine layers which result in transverse isotropy. In the framework of continuous mechanics, these rocks are commonly modelled as a transverse isotropic media (TI). In addition, a large number of fluids used in HF are non-Newtonian. They typically exhibit a shear-thinning behavior which can be reproduced by different rheological models with varying levels of accuracy (Carreau, power law, Ellis). In this thesis, we focus on hydraulic fractures in impermeable TI media. We assume that the fracture propagates normal to the isotropy plane without any further assumption on its shape. This configuration is relevant for normal and strike-slip stress regimes where the minimum in-situ stress is horizontal. We combine a boundary element and a finite volume method with an implicit level set scheme to model the growth of three dimensional planar HF. Both anisotropy of elasticity and fracture energy/toughness are accounted for. This algorithm couples a finite discretization of the fracture with the solution for a steadily moving hydraulic fracture in the tip region. We show that the near tip elastic operator has a similar expression than in the isotropy pending the use of a near-tip elastic modulus which now depends on the local propagation direction with respect to the isotropy plane. Using this numerical model we quantify the fracture elongation as a function of both the elastic and fracture toughness anisotropies. The elongation is maximal in the toughness dominated regime. The transition of the viscosity to the toughness regime occurs faster along the arrester direction, thus promoting fracture elongation. In parallel, we report laboratory experiments of HF growth in cubic samples of slate Del Carmen under true-triaxial confinement. We were able to propagate a planar HF perpendicular to the bedding planes only when the initial stress normal to bedding was 20 times larger than the other two stresses. For both regimes, the fracture surfaces are very rough with a self-affine behavior in the direction of the bedding and a stationary state in the direction normal to bedding. We also investigate the effect of a non-Newtonian rheology on HF growth. We solve the problem of steadily moving semi-infinite HF driven by a Carreau fluid. We use a Gauss-Chebyshev method for elasticity combined with finite differences for lubrication flow and solve the resulting non-linear system with the Newton Raphson method. The solution exhibits four asymptotic regions: a linear elastic fracture mechanics (lefm) asymptote near the tip, high-shear rate Newtonian and power law asymptotes in an intermediate region and a low-shear Newtonian asymptote in the far field. For the same dimensionless toughness, the fluid lag is smaller than for a Newtonian fluid of low shear rate viscosity. We show that simpler rheological models (Ellis and power law) cannot capture the complete solution, which accounts for the full rheological behavior.

8000 GeV-cms A measurement of the production cross section ratio σ(χb2(1P))/σ(χb1(1P)) is presented. The χb1(1P) and χb2(1P) bottomonium states, promptly produced in pp collisions at s=8 TeV , are detected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC through their radiative decays χb1,2(1P)→ϒ(1S)+γ . The emitted photons are measured through their conversion to e+e− pairs, whose reconstruction allows the two states to be resolved. The ϒ(1S) is measured through its decay to two muons. An event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb−1 is used to measure the cross section ratio in a phase-space region defined by the photon pseudorapidity, |ηγ|<1.0 ; the ϒ(1S) rapidity, |yϒ|<1.5 ; and the ϒ(1S) transverse momentum, 7<pTϒ<40 GeV . The cross section ratio shows no significant dependence on the ϒ(1S) transverse momentum, with a measured average value of 0.85±0.07(stat+syst)±0.08(BF) , where the first uncertainty is the combination of the experimental statistical and systematic uncertainties and the second is from the uncertainty in the ratio of the χb branching fractions.

A semi-supervised algorithm for improving the consistency of crowdsourced datasets: The COVID-19 case study on respiratory disorder classification Orlandic, Lara Teijeiro, Tomas Atienza, David Semi-supervised learning Audio signal classification Automatic respiratory disorder diagnosis Machine learning COVID-19 Background and Objective: Cough audio signal classification is a potentially useful tool in screening for respiratory disorders, such as COVID-19. Since it is dangerous to collect data from patients with contagious diseases, many research teams have turned to crowdsourcing to quickly gather cough sound data. The COUGHVID dataset enlisted expert physicians to annotate and diagnose the underlying diseases present in a limited number of recordings. However, this approach suffers from potential cough mislabeling, as well as disagreement between experts. Methods: In this work, we use a semi-supervised learning (SSL) approach – based on audio signal processing tools and interpretable machine learning models – to improve the labeling consistency of the COUGHVID dataset for 1) COVID-19 versus healthy cough sound classification 2) distinguishing wet from dry coughs, and 3) assessing cough severity. First, we leverage SSL expert knowledge aggregation techniques to overcome the labeling inconsistencies and label sparsity in the dataset. Next, our SSL approach is used to identify a subsample of re-labeled COUGHVID audio samples that can be used to train or augment future cough classifiers. Results: The consistency of the re-labeled COVID-19 and healthy data is demonstrated in that it exhibits a high degree of inter-class feature separability: 3x higher than that of the user-labeled data. Similarly, the SSL method increases this separability by 11.3x for cough type and 5.1x for severity classifications. Furthermore, the spectral differences in the user-labeled audio segments are amplified in the re-labeled data, resulting in significantly different power spectral densities between healthy and COVID-19 coughs in the 1-1.5 kHz range (𝑝 = 1.2 × 10−64 ), which demonstrates both the increased consistency of the new dataset and its explainability from an acoustic perspective. Finally, we demonstrate how the re-labeled dataset can be used to train a COVID-19 classifier, achieving an AUC of 0.797. Conclusions: We propose a SSL expert knowledge aggregation technique for the field of cough sound classification for the first time, and demonstrate how it can be used to combine the medical knowledge of multiple experts in an explainable fashion, thus providing abundant, consistent data for cough classification tasks.

On the Capacity of Non-Coherent Network Coding Jafari, Mahdi Mohajer, Soheil Fragouli, Christina Diggavi, Suhas The min-cut value towards a single receiver in a network with unit capacity edges can be achieved by routing a single bit. The multicast theorem in network coding shows that, the common min-cut value towards N >= 1 receivers can also be achieved using packets of length log N bits, if the operations the intermediate nodes perform are deterministically known at the receivers. We here calculate the capacity in the case where these operations are unknown, and characterize how the capacity depends on the min-cut value and the packet length.

Breu, Thomas Environmental Sciences Environmental Studies Environmental Sciences & Ecology global challenges multisector partnership sustainable development goals transdisciplinarity transnational health research capacity Transnational research partnerships are considered fundamental for supporting research and creating shared knowledge for sustainable development. They enable the acquisition and global sharing of high-quality information and create shared knowledge and capacity. This paper aimed to identify the enabling factors of such partnerships. In a survey carried out by the authors of this article, partnerships were perceived most beneficial when they provided access to new key features such as funding, technology and training. Compliance with research partnership principles, combined with funds and shared interests, was seen to further enhance the longevity of partnerships. Upon consulting the recent peer-reviewed literature, it became clear that research was lacking with regard to optimising the framework and performance of research partnerships, despite galloping technological progress in other areas of sustainable development. We believe that technological opportunities could be better harnessed to enable the concept of partnership to evolve and move towards transformative research for the advancement of sustainable development.

How to avoid the danger of pollutants in Swiss biochar production and use? Bilic, Nika Thalmann, Philippe Nick, Sascha The study of pollutants found in biochar and its effects on agricultural soil was conducted in this paper. The aim of the research was to analyse organic and inorganic pollutants found in biochar which either originate from the biomass itself or are formed in the process of pyrolysis. Pollutants that were analysed are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals, dioxins, metal cyanide, persistent free radicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Biomass categories and pyrolysis conditions are examined and linked to pollutant concentrations found in biochar. Secondary aim of the study was to connect biochar types with the overall positive or negative effects that are observed when biochar is applied on one of the four Swiss soil types (silt loam, loam, sandy loam and silty clay) at a specific application rate. After assessing the previously stated, instructions for safe biochar production and use on agricultural soils will be provided. Heavy metals are identified as pollutants with the highest risk for the ecosystem due to their toxicity. Sewage sludge, animal manure and phytoremediation residues are non-woody biomass which are observed to be rich in heavy metals. Heavy metals can concentrate during the pyrolysis process in biochar so they end up having higher heavy metal concentrations than the biomass itself. Acid washing prior to the pyrolysis or co-pyrolysis with a heavy metals-poor biomass are mitigation strategies for heavy metal-rich biomass. Miscanthus and paper mill sludge are identified as non-woody biomass with high potential of forming PAHs during the pyrolysis process. Sawdust is a woody biomass identified to have high potential of forming PAHs and dioxins during the pyrolysis. Pyrolysis at high temperatures or with a long residence time is a potential solution. Correlation between heavy metal polluted biomass and its corresponding negative effects on the ecosystem is proposed due to observed results. Non-woody biomass is identified with larger overall negative effects on the ecosystem, when applied to the soil, than woody biomass. Biochar is identified to have overall more positive effects on the soil ecosystem than negative effects. Soil bulk density, soil water content, soil aggregate stability and water retention capacity are positively affected, while invertebrates and microorganisms are negatively affected. Soil erosion, soil salinity, soil pH, soil conductivity and plant biomass are categories which are influenced both positively and negatively, thus further studies are necessary in order to conclude on the specific overall effect of biochar when applied to the soil. Effects are highly contradictory as different studies observed different effects. Considering this, due to the inconsistent results, it is concluded that no specific recommendations can be given on safe use of biochar on the agricultural soils. One use of biochar that is significant and has a big potential is carbon sequestration which is used as a climate change mitigation tool. Long term effects, biochar stability in the soil, pollutants bioavailability and application rates of biochar are proposed topics for further research which is necessary to conduct a more thorough analysis.

The Microphysics of Stratiform Precipitation During OLYMPEX: Compatibility Between Triple-Frequency Radar and Airborne In Situ Observations Tridon, Frederic Battaglia, Alessandro Chase, Randy J. Turk, F. Joseph Leinonen, Jussi Kneifel, Stefan Mroz, Kamil Finlon, Joseph Bansemer, Aaron Tanelli, Simone Heymsfield, Andrew J. Nesbitt, Stephen W. Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences solid and liquid precipitation multifrequency radar riming versus aggregation snowfall and rainfall scattering models optimal estimation ice water-content rayleigh-gans approximation drop size distributions multiple-scattering doppler spectra retrieval algorithm cross-sections cloud clusters melting layer particle The link between stratiform precipitation microphysics and multifrequency radar observables is thoroughly investigated by exploiting simultaneous airborne radar and in situ observations collected from two aircraft during the OLYMPEX/RADEX (Olympic Mountain Experiment/Radar Definition Experiment 2015) field campaign. Above the melting level, in situ images and triple-frequency radar signatures both indicate the presence of moderately rimed aggregates. Various mass-size relationships of ice particles and snow scattering databases are used to compute the radar reflectivity from the in situ particle size distribution. At Ku and Ka band, the best agreement with radar observations is found when using the self-similar Rayleigh-Gans approximation for moderately rimed aggregates. At W band, a direct comparison is challenging because of the non-Rayleigh effects and of the probable attenuation due to ice aggregates and supercooled liquid water between the two aircraft. A variational method enables the retrieval of the full precipitation profile above and below the melting layer, by combining the observations from the three radars. Even with three radar frequencies, the retrieval of rain properties is challenging over land, where the integrated attenuation is not available. Otherwise, retrieved mean volume diameters and water contents of both solid and liquid precipitation are in agreement with in situ observations and indicate local changes of the degree of riming of ice aggregates, on the scale of 5 km. Finally, retrieval results are analyzed to explore the validity of using continuity constraints on the water mass flux and diameter within the melting layer in order to improve retrievals of ice properties.

ROSMOSE: A web-based decision support tool for the design and optimization of industrial and urban energy systems Dardor, Dareen Florez Orrego, Daniel Alexander Terrier, Cédric Ribeiro Domingos, Meire Ellen Gorete Ferreira da Silva, Joao Carlos Maréchal, François Platteau, Cyrille Régis Lopez, Michel Pinch analysis Multi-objective optimization Process integration Energy modeling Open-source Web-based tool Dairy process Energy efficiency Environmental impacts Energy efficiency is crucial for the sustainable operation of industrial and urban sectors. However, practicing engineers seldom have access to open-source tools that can readily evaluate and compare scenarios. In this work, a novel web-based tool called ROSMOSE is developed and proposed for analyzing the energy efficiency of industrial and urban systems and comparing potential process integration options. This optimization framework computes and graphically represents the minimum energy requirements, the pinch temperatures, and the Grand and integrated Carnot composite curves of process systems. Results are used to design utility systems that meet energy demands, while minimizing a specified objective function, such as total cost or environmental impacts. The Quarto environment, in which ROSMOSE is built upon, allows the integration of various open-source software and tools, such as database handling software, process modeling suites, and optimization solvers, along with interactive data visualization and reporting tools. This paper discusses the application of ROSMOSE for the energy integration and total site optimization of a dairy process consisting of milk treatment, and cream and cheese production to demonstrate the tool features. Other integration options, such as the use of heat pumps or solar panels, and the production of soft drinks or biogas as value-added byproducts, are also proposed and evaluated. As a result, from 75 % to 90 % in fuel savings and up to 80 % CO2 emissions reduction in the dairy plant are identified by optimizing the utility systems integration. Moreover, complete electrification via heat pumps eliminates any fossil fuel needs and it results in 85 % energy savings and up to 96 % CO2 emissions reduction. The activation of renewable electricity sources, such as solar power, made plausible this fully electrified scenario. Finally, optimized waste management strategies led to in-house fuel production and net export of biogas to the grid, but they also reduce cheese yield by prioritizing the biogas production from whey upgrading process. In this way, decision-makers have access to a clear performance comparison for a list of system configurations to draw informed trade-offs. A similar approach could be adopted to aid decision-making for the design and operation of other industrial and urban energy systems using ROSMOSE.

Exploratory Analysis of Demand Interaction in the Planning of Passenger Railway Service Robenek, Tomá Jiang Hang, Chen Bierlaire, Michel With the new EU legislature, the track management and the Train Operating Companies (TOCs) have to be separated subjects and hence allowing the private sector to enter the market (also called as liberalization of railways). Up to this point, the market was ruled by one TOC (usually the national carrier) subsidized by local government. Its purpose was to provide accessibility and mobility to the general public. However with a new competition entering the industry, the traditional business model has to be adapted to reflect the demand on profitable lines and at the same time provide the basic accessibility and mobility on lines, that are not profitable (subsidized by government). In this paper, we analyze the current planning process of the passenger railway service in the context of demand interaction, including references to the fundamental literature on the topic. Our study shows that the current Train Timetabling Problem (TTP) in the literature does not reflect the actual demand and hence we propose a new problem to be inserted in the planning process: the Ideal Train Timetabling Problem. Such a problem would find the most profitable timetable for each train and would serve as an input to the TTP, in which the feasibility of such timetables would be secured.

TF-Si solar cells resilience to the substrate roughness is reported to be possibly improved through optimizations of the cell design and of the silicon deposition processes. By further tailoring the superstrate texture, amorphous silicon / microcrystalline silicon (a-Si:H/mu c-Si:H) tandem solar cells with an initial efficiency up to 13.7 % and a stabilized efficiency up to 11.8 % are demonstrated on single-scale textured superstrates. An alternative approach combining large and smooth features nanoimprinted onto a transparent lacquer with small and sharp textures from as-grown LPCVD ZnO is then shown to have a high potential for further increasing TF-Si devices efficiency. First results demonstrate up to 14.1 % initial efficiency for a TF-Si tandem solar cell.

Integration of InSb directly on Si would drastically reduce the fabrication cost and enable new applications, however, it is very challenging due to its 19% lattice mismatch with Si. Herein, the integration of single-crystalline InSb microstructures on insulator-covered Si through rapid melt growth (RMG) is reported and specifically provides details on the fabrication process. The importance of achieving high-quality conformal capping layers at low thermal budget to contain the InSb melt is assessed when the sample is annealed. The importance of ensuring a pristine Si seed area to achieve single-crystalline InSb is illustrated and demonstrated here for the first time.

Power is generated using ion-selective channels or pores of nanometric dimensions in synthetic membrane materials. 2D materials such as graphene and MoS2 provide energy extraction efficiencies that are several orders of magnitude higher than those of more established bulky membranes. In this Review, we survey the current state of the art in power generation with both 2D materials and solid-state devices. We discuss the current understanding of the processes underlying power generation in boron nitride nanotubes and 2D materials, as well as the available fabrication methods and their impact on power generation.

Adding limited reconfigurability to superscalar processors Epalza, Marc Mlynek, Daniel For the last thirty years, electronics, at first built with discrete components, and then as Integrated Circuits (IC), have brought diverse and lasting improvements to our quality of life. Examples might include digital calculators, automotive and airplane control assistance, almost all electrical household appliances, and the almost ubiquitous Personal Computer. Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) were traditionally used for their high performance and low manufacturing cost, and were designed specifically for a single application with large volumes. But as lower product lifetimes and the pressures of fast marketing increased, ASICs' high design cost pushed for their replacement by Microprocessors. These processors, capable of implementing any functionality through a change in software, are thus often called General Purpose Processors. General purpose processors are used for everyday computing tasks, and found in all personal computers. They are also often used as building blocks for scientific supercomputers. Superscalar processors such as these require ever more processing power to run complex simulations, video games or versatile telecoms services. In the case of embedded applications, e.g. for portable devices, both performance and power consumption must be taken into account. In a bid to adapt a processor to some extent to select applications, fully reconfigurable logic can greatly improve the performance of a processor, since it is shaped for the best possible execution with the available resources. However, as reconfigurable logic is far slower than custom logic, this gain is possible only for some specific applications with large parallelism, after a detailed study of the algorithm. Even though this process can be automated, it still requires large computing resources, and cannot be performed at run time. To reduce the loss in speed compared to custom logic, it is possible to limit the reconfigurability to increase the breadth of applications where performance can be improved. However, as the application space increases, a careful analysis and design of the reconfigurability is required to minimize the speed loss, notably when dynamic reconfiguration is considered. As a case study, we analyze the feasibility of adding limited reconfigurability to the Floating Point Units (FPUs) of a general purpose processor. These rather large units execute all floating point operations, and may also be used for integer multiplication. If an application contains few or infrequent instructions that must be executed by the FPU, this idle hardware only increases power consumption without enhancing performance. This is often the case in non-scientific applications and even many recent and detailed video games which make heavy use of hardware display accelerators for 3D graphics. In a fast multiplier such as can be found in the FPU of a high performance processor, the logic to perform multiplication is a large tree of compressors to add all the partial products together. It is possible to add logic to allow the reconfiguration of part of this tree as several extra Arithmetic and Logic Units (ALU). This requires a detailed timing analysis for both the reconfigurable FPU and the extra ALUs, taking into account effects such as added wires and longer critical paths. Finally, the algorithm to decide when and how to reconfigure must be studied, in terms of eciency and complexity. The results of adding this limited reconfigurability to a mainstream superscalar processor over a large set of compute intensive benchmarks show gains of up to 56% in the best case, with an average gain of 11%. The application to an idealized huge top processor still shows slightly positive average gains, as the limits of available parallelism are reached, bounded by both the application and many of the characteristics of the processor. In all cases, binary compatibility is maintained, allowing the re-use of all existing software. We show that adding limited reconfigurability to a general purpose superscalar processor can produce interesting gains over a wide range of applications while maintaining binary compatibility, and without large modifications to the original design. Limited reconfigurability is worthwhile as it increases the design space, allowing gains to apply to a larger set of applications. These gains are achieved through careful study and optimization of the reconfigurable logic and the decision algorithm.

The G Protein-Coupled Bile Acid Receptor TGR5 (Gpbar1) Modulates Endothelin-1 Signaling in Liver Klindt, Caroline Reich, Maria Hellwig, Birte Stindt, Jan Rahnenfuehrer, Joerg Hengstler, Jan G. Koehrer, Karl Schoonjans, Kristina Haeussinger, Dieter Keitel, Verena Cell Biology bile acids endothelin-1 sinusoidal endothelial cells hepatic stellate cells portal hypertension gene-expression activation fibrosis inflammation cholangitis physiology cirrhosis deletion image TGR5 (Gpbar1) is a G protein-coupled receptor responsive to bile acids (BAs), which is expressed in different non-parenchymal cells of the liver, including biliary epithelial cells, liver-resident macrophages, sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), and activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Mice with targeted deletion of TGR5 are more susceptible towards cholestatic liver injury induced by cholic acid-feeding and bile duct ligation, resulting in a reduced proliferative response and increased liver injury. Conjugated lithocholic acid (LCA) represents the most potent TGR5 BA ligand and LCA-feeding has been used as a model to rapidly induce severe cholestatic liver injury in mice. Thus, TGR5 knockout (KO) mice and wildtype (WT) littermates were fed a diet supplemented with 1% LCA for 84 h. Liver injury and gene expression changes induced by the LCA diet revealed an enrichment of pathways associated with inflammation, proliferation, and matrix remodeling. Knockout of TGR5 in mice caused upregulation of endothelin-1 (ET-1) expression in the livers. Analysis of TGR5-dependent ET-1 signaling in isolated LSECs and HSCs demonstrated that TGR5 activation reduces ET-1 expression and secretion from LSECs and triggers internalization of the ET-1 receptor in HSCs, dampening ET-1 responsiveness. Thus, we identified two independent mechanisms by which TGR5 inhibits ET-1 signaling and modulates portal pressure.

Accumulation of differentiating intestinal stem cell progenies drives tumorigenesis Zhai, Zongzhao Kondo, Shu Ha, Nati Boquete, Jean-Philippe Brunner, Michael Ueda, Ryu Lemaitre, Bruno Stem cell self-renewal and differentiation are coordinated to maintain tissue homeostasis and prevent cancer. Mutations causing stem cell proliferation are traditionally the focus of cancer studies. However, the contribution of the differentiating stem cell progenies in tumorigenesis is poorly characterized. Here we report that loss of the SOX transcription factor, Sox21a, blocks the differentiation programme of enteroblast (EB), the intestinal stem cell progeny in the adult Drosophila midgut. This results in EB accumulation and formation of tumours. Sox21a tumour initiation and growth involve stem cell proliferation induced by the unpaired 2 mitogen released from accumulating EBs generating a feed-forward loop. EBs found in the tumours are heterogeneous and grow towards the intestinal lumen. Sox21a tumours modulate their environment by secreting matrix metalloproteinase and reactive oxygen species. Enterocytes surrounding the tumours are eliminated through delamination allowing tumour progression, a process requiring JNK activation. Our data highlight the tumorigenic properties of transit differentiating cells.

Caenorhabditis elegant segmentation using texture-based models for motility phenotyping Sznitman, Raphael Greenblum, Ayala Fua, Pascal Arratia, Paulo Sznitman, Josue Computer Vision Image Segmentation C. Elegans phenotyping With widening interests in using model organisms for reverse genetic approaches and biomimmetic micro-robotics, motility phenotyping of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is expanding across a growing array of locomotive environments. One ongoing bottleneck lies in providing users with automatic ne- matode segmentations of C. elegans in image sequences featuring complex and dynamic visual cues, a first and necessary step prior to extracting motility phenotypes. Here, we propose to tackle such automatic segmentation challenges by introducing a novel Texture Feature Model (TFM). Our approach revolves around the use of combined intensity- and texture-based features integrated within a probabilistic framework. This strategy first provides a coarse nematode segmentation from which a Markov Random Field (MRF) model is used to refine the segmentation by inferring pixels belonging to the nematode using an approximate inference technique. Finally, informative priors can then be estimated and integrated in our framework to provide coherent segmentations across image sequences. We validate our TFM method across a wide range of motility environments. Not only does TFM assure comparative performances to existing segmentation methods on traditional environments featuring static backgrounds, it importantly provides state-of-the-art C. elegans segmentations for dynamic environments such as the recently introduced wet granular media. We show how such segmentations may be used to compute nematode “skeletons” from which motility phenotypes can then be extracted. Overall, our TFM method provides users with a tangible solution to tackle the growing needs of C. elegans segmentation in challenging motility environments.

Self-Replenishing, Wear-Resistant and Anti-Sticking Surfaces Based on Liquid Impregnation of Microstructured Mesoporous α-AI₂O₃ [Alpha Alumina] Matrices Rowthu, Sriharitha Hoffmann, Patrik Mesoporous Alumina Liquid Impregnation Wetting Self-Replenishing Wear-Resistance Friction Slip casting Microstructuring Fabrication of wear-resistant omniphobic surfaces is a persistent scientific challenge and essential for various applications such as in paint industries, fluid transport, antifouling, reduction of friction drag on ship hulls, and stain resistant textiles. However, there are very limited efforts to address this problem, especially because the conventional omniphobic surfaces are intrinsically wear-sensitive, due to the loss of either non polar coating materials or surface roughness elements during wear. Consequently, there is a need to employ novel approaches to fabricate such surfaces. The present research work mainly focuses on fabricating anti-sticking and wear-resistant materials using liquid impregnation of mesoporous alumina (MPA) matrices. Secondly, and equally important is to study their wetting properties post wear. To achieve the outlined objectives, different impregnating liquids such as water, Hexadecane, Dodecane, Fomblin® oil and 3M HFE 7200 were employed in conjunction with various alumina matrix densities ranging from 70 to 99.5 %. Fomblin® oil was found to be the most efficient impregnating liquid. Indeed, anti-sticking and pinning free sliding behaviors were observed for water, Hexadecane, Dodecane, water based and oil based paints atop Fomblin® oil impregnated/lubricated composites. Subsequently, the friction coefficient (FC) and the wear-resistance of Fomblin® impregnated MPA composites were evaluated by varying the normal load and alumina matrix density. The optimum alumina density of 90 %, leading to a low FC and high wear-resistance was determined. Ultra-low FC values of 0.025 and small wear coefficients of 10-8 mm3 N-1 m-1 were measured. The wear mechanism is mild abrasion majorly by intergranular fracture and/or third body abrasion. Finally, the wetting characterizations of Fomblin® impregnated MPA composites post wear were evaluated using Hexadecane and water. The worn composite surfaces lost anti¿sticking properties to water and Hexadecane immediately after wear, exhibiting superhydrophilicity and oleophilicity. Nevertheless, given a sufficient self-replenishing/healing time, they exhibited enhanced omniphobicity. The contributing factors towards self¿replenishment are the strong capillary forces of the impregnating liquid, coupled with its surface diffusivity on the polar alumina matrix. Further, the replenishing efficiency may be improved by providing surface microstructuring to MPA samples. Consequently, a fabrication process of large area surface microstructuring the bulk MPA samples was developed using replication and slip casting techniques. The microstructures are first replicated into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes using excimer laser ablated polycarbonate sheets and are subsequently employed as molds in the alumina slip casting process. The developed process can produce microstructured areas up to 120 cm2, but can be further extended to 3 m2 and on samples as thick as 10 mm. The drying of the ceramic slurry occurs as a one dimensional process and a linear mass diffusion model developed predicts that the drying times are linearly proportional to the slurry height, PDMS membrane thickness and independent of the microstructured areas. The 3D geometries include tear cavities, micro bowls, conical micro pillars, bone pits and are not limiting. Such microstructured liquid impregnated MPA composite surfaces may also lead to anisotropic wetting and tribological properties if desired.

Droplet-based microfluidics in drug discovery, transcriptomics and high-throughput molecular genetics Shembekar, Nachiket Chaipan, Chawaree Utharala, Ramesh Merten, Christoph Droplet-based microfluidics enables assays to be carried out at very high throughput (up to thousands of samples per second) and enables researchers to work with very limited material, such as primary cells, patient's biopsies or expensive reagents. An additional strength of the technology is the possibility to perform large-scale genotypic or phenotypic screens at the single-cell level. Here we critically review the latest developments in antibody screening, drug discovery and highly multiplexed genomic applications such as targeted genetic workflows, single-cell RNAseq and single-cell ChIPseq. Starting with a comprehensive introduction for non-experts, we pinpoint current limitations, analyze how they might be overcome and give an outlook on exciting future applications.

Daylighting Metrics for Residential Buildings Mardaljevic, J. Andersen, Marilyne Roy, Nicolas Christoffersen, Jens Daylight metrics circadian photo-biology It is now widely accepted that the standard method for daylighting evaluation - the daylight factor – is due for replacement with metrics founded on absolute values for luminous quantities predicted over the course of a full year using sun and sky conditions derived from standardised climate files. The move to more realistic measures of daylighting introduces significant levels of additional complexity in both the simulation of the luminous quantities and the reduction of the simulation data to readily intelligible metrics. The simulation component, at least for buildings with standard glazing materials, is reasonably well understood. There is no consensus however on the composition of the metrics, and their formulation is an ongoing area of active research. Additionally, non-domestic and residential buildings present very different evaluation scenarios and it is not yet clear if a single metric would be applicable to both. This study uses a domestic dwelling as the setting to investigate and explore the applicability of daylighting metrics for residential buildings. In addition to daylighting provision for task and disclosing the potential for reducing electric lighting usage, we also investigate the formulation of metrics for non-visual effects such as entrainment of the circadian system.

Gaze Analysis methods for Learning Analytics Sharma, Kshitij Dillenbourg, Pierre Jermann, Patrick Eye-tracking Dual eye-tracking Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) Learning analytics Program comprehension Pair programming Collaborative problem solving Eye-tracking had been shown to be predictive of expertise, task-based success, task-difficulty, and the strategies involved in problem solving, both in the individual and collaborative settings. In learning analytics, eye-tracking could be used as a powerful tool, not only to differentiate between the levels of expertise and task-outcome, but also to give constructive feedback to the users. In this dissertation, we show how eye-tracking could prove to be useful to understand the cognitive processes underlying dyadic interaction; in two contexts: pair program comprehension and learning with a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). The first context is a typical collaborative work scenario, while the second is a special case of dyadic interaction namely the teacher-student pair. We also demonstrate, using one example experiment, how the findings about the relation between the learning outcome in MOOCs and the students' gaze patterns can be leveraged to design a feedback tool to improve the students' learning outcome and their attention levels while learning through a MOOC video. We also show that the gaze can also be used as a cue to resolve the teachers' verbal references in a MOOC video; and this way we can improve the learning experiences of the MOOC students. This thesis is comprised of five studies. The first study, contextualised within a collaborative setting, where the collaborating partners tried to understand the given program. In this study, we examine the relationship among the gaze patterns of the partners, their dialogues and the levels of understanding that the pair attained at the end of the task. The next four studies are contextualised within the MOOC environment. The first MOOC study explores the relationship between the students' performance and their attention level. The second MOOC study, which is a dual eye-tracking study, examines the relation between the individual and collaborative gaze patterns and their relation with the learning outcome. This study also explores the idea of activating students' knowledge, prior to receiving any learning material, and the effect of different ways to activate the students' knowledge on their gaze patterns and their learning outcomes. The third MOOC study, during which we designed a feedback tool based on the results of the first two MOOC studies, demonstrates that the variables we proposed to measure the students' attention, could be leveraged upon to provide feedback about their gaze patterns. We also show that using this feedback tool improves the students' learning outcome and their attention levels. The fourth and final MOOC study shows that augmenting a MOOC video with the teacher's gaze information helps improving the learning experiences of the students. When the teacher's gaze is displayed the perceived difficulty of the content decreases significantly as compared to the moments when there is no gaze augmentation. In a nutshell, through this dissertation, we show that the gaze can be used to understand, support and improve the dyadic interaction, in order to increase the chances of achieving a higher level of task-based success.

The Effects of Time-Restricted Eating versus Standard Dietary Advice on Weight, Metabolic Health and the Consumption of Processed Food: A Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial in Community-Based Adults Phillips, Nicholas Edward Mareschal, Julie Schwab, Nathalie Manoogian, Emily N. C. Borloz, Sylvie Ostinelli, Giada Gauthier-Jaques, Aude Umwali, Sylvie Rodriguez, Elena Gonzalez Aeberli, Daniel Hans, Didier Panda, Satchidananda Rodondi, Nicolas Naef, Felix Collet, Tinh-Hai time-restricted eating eating pattern dietary advice weight loss processed food NOVA classification metabolic syndrome Weight loss is key to controlling the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components, i.e., central obesity, hypertension, prediabetes and dyslipidaemia. The goals of our study were two-fold. First, we characterised the relationships between eating duration, unprocessed and processed food consumption and metabolic health. During 4 weeks of observation, 213 adults used a smartphone application to record food and drink consumption, which was annotated for food processing levels following the NOVA classification. Low consumption of unprocessed food and low physical activity showed significant associations with multiple MS components. Second, in a pragmatic randomised controlled trial, we compared the metabolic benefits of 12 h time-restricted eating (TRE) to standard dietary advice (SDA) in 54 adults with an eating duration > 14 h and at least one MS component. After 6 months, those randomised to TRE lost 1.6% of initial body weight (SD 2.9, p = 0.01), compared to the absence of weight loss with SDA (−1.1%, SD 3.5, p = 0.19). There was no significant difference in weight loss between TRE and SDA (between-group difference −0.88%, 95% confidence interval −3.1 to 1.3, p = 0.43). Our results show the potential of smartphone records to predict metabolic health and highlight that further research is needed to improve individual responses to TRE such as a shorter eating window or its actual clock time.
