Seismic vulnerability of existing structures Large scale assessment of Basel city
Among natural disasters, seismic activity which can cause earthquakes is a serious risk for human activities and most importantly their lives. Seismic risk assessment requires knowledge to evaluate existing buildings and their expected response against ear ...
2022Space Oddity? A Statistical Formulation of Conjunction Assessment
Anthony Christopher Davison, Soumaya Elkantassi
Satellite conjunctions involving "near misses" of space objects are becoming increasingly likely. One approach to risk analysis for them involves the computation of the collision probability, but this has been regarded as having some counterintuitive prope ...

Background Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is the subjective perception of a decline in memory and/or other cognitive functions in the absence of objective evidence. Some SCD individuals however may suffer from very early stages of neurodegenerative dis ...
2021Risk-based methodology to assess bridge condition based on visual inspection
Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola
The visual inspection of existing infrastructure is a critical step for asset management, as the detection and quantification of damage must be useful to prioritise maintenance. In Switzerland, main inspections are made every five years for all road bridge ...
2021Innovative Techniques and Strategies for a Reliable High-Throughput Genotoxicity Assessment
Damage to DNA is a central mechanism to the initiation of carcinogenesis. As a consequence, precise DNA damage detection is essential for an effective risk assessment of xenobiotics and constitutes a powerful tool for human biomonitoring and early stage ca ...
