Towards a metabolic theory of catchments: scaling of water and carbon fluxes with size

Allometric scaling relations are widely used to link biological processes in nature. They are typically expressed as power laws, postulating that the metabolic rate of an organism scales as its mass to the power of an allometric exponent, which ranges betw ...

Clinical feasibility and validation of the accelerated T2 mapping sequence GRAPPATINI in brain imaging

Tom Hilbert

Rationale and objectives: To prospectively evaluate feasibility and robustness of an accelerated T2 mapping sequence (GRAPPATINI) in brain imaging and to assess its synthetic T2-weighted images (sT2w) in comparison with a standard T2-weighted sequence (T2 ...

Electronic Structure of Few-Layer Black Phosphorus from & mu;-ARPES

Nicola Marzari, Marco Gibertini, Samuel Poncé, Christophe Berthod

Black phosphorus (BP) stands out among two-dimensional(2D) semiconductorsbecause of its high mobility and thickness dependent direct band gap.However, the quasiparticle band structure of ultrathin BP has remainedinaccessible to experiment thus far. Here we ...

A Characterisation Of The Continuum Gaussian Free Field In Arbitrary Dimensions

Juhan Aru

We prove that under certain mild moment and continuity assumptions, the d-dimensional continuum Gaussian free field is the only stochastic process satisfying the usual domain Markov property and a scaling assumption. Our proof is based on a decomposition o ...

A numerical study of the statistics of roughness parameters for fluctuating interfaces

Elisabeth Agoritsas

Self-affine rough interfaces are ubiquitous in experimental systems, and display characteristic scaling properties as a signature of the nature of disorder in their supporting medium, i.e. of the statistical features of its heterogeneities. Different metho ...

Window Size Effects on Subjective Impressions of Daylit Spaces: Indoor Studies at High Latitudes Using Virtual Reality

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Kynthia Chamilothori

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 ...

Volatile organic compounds in 169 energy-efficient dwellings in Switzerland

Dusan Licina, Shen Yang

Exposure to elevated levels of certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in households has been linked to deleterious health effects. This study presents the first large-scale investigation of VOC levels in 169 energy-efficient dwellings in Switzerland. Th ...

Spatial variability in snow precipitation and accumulation in COSMO–WRF simulations and radar estimations over complex terrain

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Alexis Berne, Franziska Gerber, Marco Gabella, Nikola Besic, Urs Martin Germann

Snow distribution in complex alpine terrain and its evolution in the future climate is important in a variety of applications including hydropower, avalanche forecasting and freshwater resources. However, it is still challenging to quantitatively forecast ...

Phace: Physics-based Face Modeling and Animation

Mark Pauly, Ladislav Kavan, Alexandru Eugen Ichim

We present a novel physics-based approach to facial animation. Contrary to commonly used generative methods, our solution computes facial expressions by minimizing a set of non-linear potential energies that model the physical interaction of passive flesh, ...

Variability of the raindrop size distribution across scales in Mediterranean rainfall

Timothy Hugh Raupach

Measurement of rain is made difficult by the high variability of the precipitation process, down to raindrop scale. Point measurements are generally accurate, but their lack of spatial representativeness is a significant limitation. Weather radars indirect ...
