While suction cups prevail as common gripping tools for a wide range of real-world parts and surfaces, they often fail to seal the contact interface when engaging with irregular shapes and textured surfaces. In this work, the authors propose a suction-base ...
Des travaux de restauration du chenal central du Haut-Rhône français à l’aval des barrages de Lavours et Champagneux ont été entrepris en 2005-2006 et ont consisté à augmenter les débits réservés. Les effets de cette opération ont été évalués en étudiant e ...
Our understanding of the rise of intellectual property has been highly influenced by the tools and concepts of economic history and the lens of the Industrial Revolution. Looking at the case of France, this article examines the cultural and ideological ori ...
Cette capsule vidéo fait partie d’interviews des divers intervenants du séminaire. Ces interviews visent à faire émerger les grands invariants et les spécificités des enjeux autours des quartiers en transition aux abords des rives urbaines. En effet, les r ...

The role played by international migration and its interactions with other demographic components in the process of city growth remains underappreciated. We analyze trends in natural increase and in net internal and international migration in Zurich during ...
Novel metal-oxides (MOx) semiconductors for thin-film transistors (TFTs) are being developed as they can offer superior electric performances over organic-based counterparts. MOx TFTs processed on foil could be exploited in smart labels as RFID and NFC tag ...
The structure of B-DNA, the physiological form of the DNA molecule, has been a central topic in biology, chemistry and physics. Far from uniform and rigid, the double helix was revealed as a flexible and structurally polymorphic molecule. Conformational ch ...
Bioelectronic and neuroprosthetic interfaces rely on implanted microelectrode arrays (MEAs) to interact with the human body. Printing techniques, such as inkjet and screen printing, are attractive methods for the manufacturing of MEAs because they allow fl ...
