Cultural diversity and political stability are historical trademarks of Switzerland. This paradox makes of the country a success story of modern democracies. On many social and political questions, cultural frontiers between linguistic groups have been kno ...
Natural resources such as daylight and sunlight are highly appreciated in countries with prevailing overcast skies. Taking advantage of this scarce resource contributes to saving energy on artificial lighting. In contrast to northern, southern European cit ...
The drainage area is an important, non-local property of a landscape, which controls surface and subsurface hydrological fluxes. Its role in numerous ecohydrological and geomorphological applications has given rise to several numerical methods for its comp ...
This study investigates and models the grinding process of single crystal sapphire. Five parameters: the wheel speed, the feed speed, the vertical feed, the ultrasonic assistance and the crystallographic direction were considered via a design of experiment ...
This project is about testing the security of casual/commercial drones. For this, we tested drones from the company Parrot, but the conclusions apply to all drones based on WiFi controllers. To test drones security, the project was divided in two parts. Th ...
Cytokinesis is the final stage of the cell cycle, and ensures completion of both genome segregation and organelle distribution to the daughter cells. Cytokinesis requires the cell to solve a spatial problem (to divide in the correct place, orthogonally to ...
Ice sheets provide exceptional archives of past changes in polar climate, regional environment and global atmospheric composition. The oldest dated deep ice core drilled in Antarctica has been retrieved at EPICA Dome C (EDC), reaching ∼ 800 000 years. Obta ...
River training works performed in the last couple of centuries constrained the natural dynamics of channel networks in locations that include the confluences between tributaries and main channels. As a result, the dynamics of these confluences are currentl ...
The social and economical impact a virus has in a population is not negligible. For this reason, gaining a theoretical understanding of the behavior of a virus is of prime importance. This project is going to be divided in several parts. First, we will dis ...
Ice core analysis provides the most direct evidence of changes in some major greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O) over the climatic cycle covering approximately the last 150,000 years. A remarkable overall correlation is observed between the CO2 or CH4 reco ...
