Transient pressure waves in real pipe systems are affected by several phenomena not accounted for in the classic waterhammer theory. Damping mechanisms are differently manifested according to the material, configuration and existing features of pipe system ...
This thesis is devoted to the study of activated processes at the nanoscale by means of state-of-the-art computer simulations. On the one hand, we are interested in addressing specific aspects of chemico-physical processes of great practical importance, na ...
We provide upper and lower bounds on the escape rate of the Bhattacharyya process corresponding to polar codes where transmission takes place over the the binary erasure channel. More precisely, we bound the exponent of the number of sub-channels whose Bha ...
La construction parasismique est une préoccupation récente dans les pays modérément exposés aux tremblements de terre. Elle fait appel à des méthodes spécifiques elles-mêmes liées à l’introduction imminente de l’eurocode 8. Son application généralisée impl ...
We present a framework and algorithms for robust geometry and motion reconstruction of complex deforming shapes. Our method makes use of a smooth template that provides a crude approximation of the scanned object and serves as a geometric and topological p ...
Understanding the long-term seasonal dynamics of alpine glacierized basins is essential to evaluating their relation to climatic forcing. We focus on process knowledge by following a minimalist approach, and propose a spatially lumped nonlinear differentia ...
The lightning return stroke model by Master, Uman, Lin, Standler (1981) (MULS), a modification of the Lin, Uman, Standler (1980) (LUS) model, can be viewed mathematically as having a specified channel-base current, although in the original formulation it w ...
