Connected at any cost? The vulnerability of critical infrastructures and crisis management

Critical infrastructures are receiving a great deal of attention, due, on the one hand, to the major malfunctions to which they are subject and their potential as targets of malicious intent on the other. Economic and political impacts are studied; increas ...

Sampling and Online Analysis of Alkalis in Thermal Process Gases with a Novel Surface Ionization Detector

Christian Ludwig, Marco Wellinger

When using biomass or waste as a feedstock for power production, alkalis are a major concern because of their negative effects on equipment. To investigate the release behavior of alkalis and the effectiveness of countermeasures, it is indispensable to qua ...

26Mg labeling of the sea urchin regenerating spine: Insights into echinoderm biomineralization process

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Christophe Kopp

This paper reports the results of the first dynamic labeling experiment with regenerating spines of sea urchins Paracentrotus lividus using the stable isotope Mg-26 and NanoSIMS high-resolution isotopic imaging, which provide a direct information about the ...

Robust binary regression

Stephan Morgenthaler, Sahar Hosseinian Ehrensberger

Robust procedures increase the reliability of the results of a data analysis. We studied such a robust procedure for binary regression models based on the criterion of least absolute deviation. The resulting estimating equation consists in a simple modific ...

Single crystal nuclear magnetic resonance in spinning powders

David Lyndon Emsley

We present a method for selectively exciting nuclear magnetic resonances (NMRs) from well-defined subsets of crystallites from a powdered sample under magic angle spinning. Magic angle spinning induces a time dependence in the anisotropic interactions, whi ...

Highly Efficient Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Based on Triphenylamine Dyes

Xiaoqing Jiang, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

Two triphenylamine-based metal-free org. sensitizers, D35 with a single anchor group and M14 with two anchor groups, were applied in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) with a solid hole transporting material or liq. iodide/triiodide based electrolyte. Using ...

Structure and Controls of the Global Virtual Water Trade Network

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis

Recurrent or ephemeral water shortages are a crucial global challenge, in particular because of their impacts on food production. The global character of this challenge is reflected in the trade among nations of virtual water, i.e. the amount of water used ...

Compressibility of Deterministic and Random Infinite Sequences

Michaël Unser, Arash Amini

We introduce a definition of the notion of compressibility for infinite deterministic and i.i.d. random sequences which is based on the asymptotic behavior of truncated subsequences. For this purpose, we use asymptotic results regarding the distribution of ...

Fast-curing coatings for adhesion promotion between metallic oxides and thermoplastic polyurethane

Véronique Michaud, Basile Golaz

The cost-effective production of high-performance and durable steel reinforced thermoplastic composites requires improvement of the adhesion encountered at the interface between metallic substrates (galvanized steel) and a thermoplastic elastomer (TPU). Co ...

A multi-frequency Acoustic Concentration and Velocity Profiler (ACVP) for boundary layer measurements of fine-scale flow and sediment transport processes

Ulrich Lemmin, David Hurther

The use of acoustics to measure sediment transport boundary layer processes has gained increasing acceptance over the past two decades. This has occurred through the development of increasingly sophisticated measuring systems and theoretical developments, ...
