Validation of an integrative methodology to assess and monitor reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes in contaminated aquifers

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Sonia Estelle Tarnawski

Bioremediation of tetra-and trichloroethene-contaminated aquifers is requently hampered due to incomplete dechlorination to the more toxic dichloroethene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC), indicating insufficient knowledge about the biological mechanisms relat ...

Control of the Actively Balanced Capacitive Voltage Divider for a Five-Level NPC Inverter - Estimation of the Intermediary Levels Currents

Alfred Rufer, Nicolas Cherix, Nelson William Koch

This article addresses the control of a Multistage Stacked Boost Architecture (MSBA) feeding a five-level NPC inverter in a grid-tied application. A suitable control strategy was previously presented, in which estimated/reconstructed intermediary currents ...

Modeling the spatial distribution of Theileria parva (Theiler 1904), causative agent of East Coast Fever disease in cattle

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Elia Vajana, Pierre Taberlet

Theileria parva is a protozoan emo-parasite affecting sub-Saharan Bos taurus and Bos indicus populations. It is the causative agent of East Coast Fever, a major cattle disease causing the death of ~1.1∙106 animals per year and an annual loss of ~168∙106 US ...

Evaluation of control strategies for fixed-wing drones following slow-moving ground agents

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz, Maja Varga

There are many situations where fixed-wing drones may be required to track ground moving agents, such as humans or cars, which are typically slower than drones. Some control strategies have been proposed and validated in simulations using the average dista ...

Note: Small anaerobic chamber for optical spectroscopy

Majed Chergui, Adrien Alexis Paul Chauvet, Rachna Agarwal

The study of oxygen-sensitive biological samples requires an effective control of the atmosphere in which they are housed. In this aim however, no commercial anaerobic chamber is adequate to solely enclose the sample and small enough to fit in a compact sp ...

25th Anniversary Article: Label-Free Electrical Biodetection Using Carbon Nanostructures

Klaus Kern, Kannan Balasubramanian

Nanostructures are promising candidates for use as active materials for the detection of chemical and biological species, mainly due to the high surface-to-volume ratio and the unique physical properties arising at the nanoscale. Among the various nanostru ...

Importance of Toxicokinetics for lnterspecies Variation in Sensitivity to Chemicals

Kristin Schirmer

Interspecies variation in sensitivity to synthetic chemicals can be orders of magnitude large. Species traits causing the variation can be related to toxicokinetics (uptake, distribution, biotransformation, elimination) or toxicodynamics (interaction with ...
