We propose an Isogeometric approach for smoothing on surfaces, namely estimating a function starting from noisy and discrete measurements. More precisely, we aim at estimating functions lying on a surface represented by NURBS, which are geometrical represe ...
As a promising cathode inheritor for lithium-ion batteries, the sulfur cathode exhibits very high theoretical volumetric capacity and energy density. In its practical applications, one has to solve the insulating properties of sulfur and the shuttle effect ...

The design of the ITER ECRH system provides 20 MW millimeter wave power for central plasma heating and MHD stabilization. The system consists of an array of 24 gyrotrons with power supplies coupled to a set of transmission lines guiding the beams to the fo ...
Thermal protection systems (TPS) are of extreme importance for the survival of space vehicles especially during superorbital re-entry to Earth. The design of thermal protection systems requires in-depth knowledge of the thermal loading experienced during a ...
Localising a tactile stimulus in egocentric space involves integrating information from skin receptors with proprioceptive inputs about body posture. We investigated whether body posture automatically influences tactile spatial judgements, even when it is ...
Sample return capsules, as the Apollo Command Module have been widely used to ad- vance the knowledge and planning of manned lunar and planetary return missions. Such reentry vehicles undergo extreme thermal conditions, caused by shock-heated air during th ...

Thermal protection systems (TPS) are employed for spacecraft to survive high temperature conditions during atmospheric re-entry. For space shuttle type re-entries, the use of ceramic tiles shield the payload from exposure to these high heat fluxes. Recent ...

Reentry vehicles undergo extreme thermal conditions as they reach hypersonic velocities in particular conditions. Thus thermal protection system (TPS) are required to prevent the probe to be damaged. When it comes to Earth’s reentry, capsules like Hayabusa ...
This thesis deals with the modelling of fundamental aspects of the mission engineering, the physics, and the constraints of atmospheric entry of space vehicles. The aim of this work is to formulate a coupled approach for the modelling and the simulation of ...
The direct and enantioselective functionalization of inert bonds such as carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon is an emerging tool towards more sustainable and efficient synthetic methods. The individual activation pathways like concerted deprotonation metalat ...
