The long cross-over dynamics of capillary imbibition
Spontaneous capillary imbibition is a classical problem in interfacial fluid dynamics with a broad range of applications, from microfluidics to agriculture. Here we study the duration of the cross-over between an initial linear growth of the imbibition fro ...
CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS2022Missing water from the Qiangtang Basin on the Tibetan Plateau
David Andrew Barry, Tao Wang, Jiaqi Chen
The Qiangtang Basin is a large endorheic basin in the inner part of the Tibetan Plateau and has been thought to be a dry region in contrast with its wet surrounding outer region that feeds all the major Asian rivers. Combining surface hydrological data wit ...
2021A membrane-less electrolyzer with porous walls for high throughput and pure hydrogen production dagger
Demetri Psaltis, Steven Alexandre Schenk, Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Hashemi, Pooria Hadikhani
Membrane-less electrolyzers utilize fluidic forces instead of solid barriers for the separation of electrolysis gas products. These electrolyzers have low ionic resistance, a simple design, and the ability to work with electrolytes at different pH values. ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2021Large-scale automated investigation of free-falling paper shapes via iterative physical experimentation
Free-falling paper shapes exhibit rich, complex and varied behaviours that are extremely challenging to model analytically. Physical experimentation aids in system understanding, but is time-consuming, sensitive to initial conditions and reliant on subject ...
Nature Research2020USBFuzz: A Framework for Fuzzing USB Drivers by Device Emulation
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) connects external devices to a host. This interface exposes the OS kernels and device drivers to attacks by malicious devices. Unfortunately, kernels and drivers were developed under a security model that implicitly trusts co ...
USENIX ASSOC2020Thrackles: An improved upper bound
A thrackle is a graph drawn in the plane so that every pair of its edges meet exactly once: either at a common end vertex or in a proper crossing. We prove that any thrackle of n vertices has at most 1.3984n edges. Quasi-thrackles are defined similarly, ex ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV2019Resistance to disinfection agents: Adaptation of P. aeruginosa to sub inhibitory concentrations of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs)
Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Leonardo Venturelli, Margaux Océane Voumard
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are among the most used disinfection agents in consumer products and in industrial applications. Because of their poor biodegradabil ity, after use, they will persist in technical and natural aquatic systems at sub - in ...
2019Les frontières au quotidien? Modes de vie dans l'agglomération trinationale de Bâle
The gradual opening of borders, which occurred over the past few decades have dramatically altered their role and function. Although these evolutions were not uniform, they have enabled the development of cross-border regions, which are characterized by a ...
EPFL2017Optical prism for creating multiple views of an image
Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Stefan Geissbuehler
Optical prism comprising two external parallel and reflecting surfaces, one internal interface, parallel to said surfaces and acting as light splitter; said prism furthermore comprising an entrance side forming an angle β with respect to said interface and ...
2016Finite Element Modeling of Acoustic Shielding via Phononic Crystal structures
Clémentine Sophie Sarah Lipp, Andrea Lozzi
Quality factor of Contour Mode Resonators (CMR) are mainly affected by energy losses due to acoustic waves leaving the resonator through the anchors. An engineering of the anchors in order to create a periodic variation in the acoustic impedance of the mat ...
