Silicon nitride (SiN) micro-and nanomechanical resonators have attracted a lot of attention in various research fields due to their exceptionally high quality factors (Qs). Despite their popularity, the origin of the limiting loss mechanisms in these struc ...
Major climatic and geological events but also population history (secondary contacts) have generated cycles of population isolation and connection of long and short periods. Recent empirical and theoretical studies suggest that fast evolutionary processes ...
Living at high altitude is one of the most difficult challenges that humans had to cope with during their evolution. Whereas several genomic studies have revealed some of the genetic bases of adaptations in Tibetan, Andean, and Ethiopian populations, relat ...
Le principe du projet JAVA combine l’autonomie de la montre mécanique à la précision du Quartz. L’énergie mécanique stockée dans un barillet transforme cette énergie en électricité par un générateur dont la vitesse de rotation est contrôlée à l’aide d’un c ...
Moving from the exact result that drainage network configurations minimizing total energy dissipation are stationary solutions of the general equation describing landscape evolution, we review the static properties and the dynamic origins of the scale-inva ...
The objective of this paper was to perform new analyses about the structure and evolution of the Incanto system. The hypothesis was to go beyond the textual narrative or even cartographic representation thanks to network analysis, which could potentially o ...
A key, yet often neglected, component of digital evolution and evolutionary models is the 'selection method' which assigns fitness (number of offspring) to individuals based on their performance scores (efficiency in performing tasks). Here, we study with ...
MX-80 bentonite used in engineered barrier systems would be subjected to wetting and drying cycles. To assess the response of the material under such circumstances, a comprehensive experimental characterisation of the water retention behaviour of compacted ...
Le projet, c'est la rencontre de deux mondes de lenteur; celui du pèlerin et celui de la personne âgée. Il propose en un lieu la retraite de la vie active et une pause dans le chemin méditatif du marcheur. Dans une volonté que de cette rencontre naissent l ...
Il est d'un intérêt capital d'améliorer les systèmes de détention des équidés en Suisse, car cela permettrait de conserver les animaux en bonne santé physique et mentale, toutes deux menacées par une vie confinée. Ce genre d'étude a déjà été réalisé pour p ...
