The aim of this thesis was to explore the statistical physics and the mechanical properties of individual biomolecules, to study their interactions, and to develop new techniques based on atomic force microscopy (AFM). First, we exploit the high resolution ...
Background, aim and scope After the discovery of chloroform in drinking water, an extensive amount of work has been dedicated to the factors influencing the formation of halogenated disinfections by-products (DBPs). The disinfection practice can vary signi ...
The availability of reliable constitutive models linking he bulk electric properties of porous media to their inner structure is a key requirement for useful quantitative applications of noninvasive methods. This study focuses on the use of dielectric meas ...
We present a new method for automatic generation of loop invariants for programs containing arrays. Unlike all previously known methods, our method allows one to generate first-order invariants containing alternations of quantifiers. The method is based on ...

We present a detailed study of the low-energy excitations of two existing finite-size realizations of the planar kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the sphere: the cuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron. After highlighting a number of special spectral f ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a multifunctional protein and a major mediator of innate immunity. Although X-ray crystallography revealed that MIF exists as a homotrimer, its oligomerization state in vivo and the factors governing its olig ...
This work describes the development of a software framework allowing to simulate range data acquired with different kind of sensors such as stereo camera and ultrasonic probe. The sensors characteristic error are modeled with probability density functions. ...
This paper presents a new approach for estimating physical properties of deformable models from experimental measurements. In contrast to most previous work, we introduce a new method based on particle filters which identifies the different stiffness prope ...

The principle of air compression can be utilized for the storage of electrical energy, with variable properties from the point of view of the energy efficiency. For the involved thermodynamic phenomena different approaches and realized systems lead to more ...
The heat flow reaction calorimetry technique was developed for reactions with supercrit. fluids and was applied to monitor the free-radical dispersion polymn. of Me methacrylate in supercrit. carbon dioxide (scCO2). The main math. equation for the calorime ...
