A multi-site, year-round turbulence microstructure atlas for the deep perialpine Lake Garda

Sebastiano Piccolroaz, Marco Toffolon, Bieito Fernandez Castro

A multi-site, year-round dataset comprising a total of 606 high-resolution turbulence microstructure profiles of shear and temperature gradient in the upper 100 m depth is made available for Lake Garda (Italy). Concurrent meteorological data were measured ...

Virtual reality to assess visual attraction and perceived interest to daylit scene variations

Marilyne Andersen, Caroline Karmann, Bahar Aydemir, Kynthia Chamilothori

Façades and light pattern composition have been shown to influence the spatial experience and physiological responses of humans [1,2]. The present study examines the effect of sunlight penetration and window size on fixations to the floor of the scene, and ...

Climatology of atmospheric boundary layer height over Switzerland

Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte

Determining the height of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is of crucial importance as it is a key parameter in air-quality modelling and weather forecasting. Continuous remote sensing measurements allow to estimate this parameter based on temperature, h ...

Integrated elastomer-based device for measuring the mechanics of adherent cell monolayers

Herbert Shea, Cristina Martin Olmos, Alexandre Poulin, Francesca Sorba

Cells in the body collectively sustain mechanical deformations in almost all physiological functions. From the morphogenesis stage, cells' ability to sustain stress is essential for the body's well-being. Several pathologies have been associated with abnor ...

Perceptual Dynamics of Daylight in Architecture

Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

In our experience of daylit architecture, our visual perception is greatly impacted by the ephemeral and inherently dynamic conditions of the surrounding environment. Driven by changes in sky type, time-of-day, and time-of-year, these variable conditions c ...

Fault reactivation during CO2 sequestration: Effects of well orientation on seismicity and leakage

Victor Vilarrasa Riano

Injection or withdrawal of fluid at depth may trigger felt seismicity. Such human-induced seismicity is a key environmental concern related to the exploitation of natural underground resources. Thus, understanding how to avoid triggering felt earthquakes p ...

A Discriminative Approach to Robust Visual Place Recognition

Barbara Caputo

An important competence for a mobile robot system is the ability to localize and perform context interpretation. This is required to perform basic navigation and to facilitate local specific services. Usually localization is performed based on a purely geo ...
