Temperature highly affects pavement performance. High and low temperatures not only affects the viscosity of asphalt concrete but also has an impact on the moisture flow within pavements. At temperatures below 0°C the freezing of pavements dramatically cha ...
The TORoidal Plasma EXperiment (TORPEX) at CRPP generates and confines plasmas in a magnetic configuration with open helical magnetic field lines, in which similarly to the SOL of magnetic fusion devices, grad B and magnetic field curvature are at play. In ...
We exhibit a counterexample to a fiber theorem stated by F. Fumagalli [J. Algebra 283 (2) (2005), 639-654] and show how it affects the rest of Fumagalli's paper. As a consequence, whether the poset A_p(G) is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres for an ...
Airlines schedules are built such as to maximize expected profit. Such schedules turn out to be more sensitive to delay propagation and have lower on-time performance. Robust schedules are thus used instead. In this paper, we compare two different approach ...
In centrifugal pumps, the interaction between the rotating impeller and the stationary diffuser generates specific pressure fluctuation patterns. When the pump is operated at off design conditions, these pressure fluctuations increase. The resulting rise o ...
The advent of new technologies in cinema, theatre and virtual reality together with increasing demands for new content, are pushing the boundaries of filmmaking and storytelling to the limits of our imaginations. The potential for 3D film to blur the line ...
interview of R. Loveridge for article in RELFEX magazine, outlining the main issues that will affect the development of archtitectural technology and construction in the comming years. ...
We demonstrate that the presence of charges around a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) strongly affects its optical properties and produces nonresonant coupling to the modes of a microcavity. We show that, besides (multi)exciton lines, a QD generates a spectr ...
Distributed video coding performances strongly depend on the side information quality, built at the decoder. In multi-view schemes, correlations in both time and view directions are exploited, obtaining in general two estimations that need to be merged. Th ...
An experimental study, conducted with an advanced triaxial press, evaluates the effect of different loading paths on the dynamic behavior of natural Swiss sand. Emphasis is put on comparison between the dynamic parameters evaluated in a single loading (wit ...
