The microbial genomics of glacier-fed streams: adaptations to an extreme ecosystem

Glacier-fed streams are the cold, ultra-oligotrophic, and unstable streams that are fed by glacial meltwater. Despite these extreme conditions, they harbour a diverse and abundant microbial diversity that develops into biofilms, covering the boulders and s ...

Mechanistic insights into bacterial metabolic reprogramming from omics-integrated genome-scale models

Noushin Hadadi, Vikash Kumar Pandey, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Merten Morales, Florence Mehl

Understanding the adaptive responses of individual bacterial strains is crucial for microbiome engineering approaches that introduce new functionalities into complex microbiomes, such as xenobiotic compound metabolism for soil bioremediation. Adaptation re ...

Tribological Approach to the Watch Movements

Valentine Agnès Madeleine Magnin

Mechanical watches are complex and sensitive systems that have to maintain a faultless precision over their lifetime. However, this precision can be altered by disturbances occurring during the functioning time, such as friction, lubricant drying, or wear, ...

The Least Cost Path From Landscape Genetics to Landscape Genomics: Challenges and Opportunities to Explore NGS Data in a Spatially Explicit Context

Stéphane Joost

Ecosystems are the stage on which the play of evolution is acted. Inferring evolutionary processes from the spatial and temporal genetic patterns they produce in populations is challenging because ecosystems are highly complex, spatially structured, and te ...

Catchment drainage network scaling laws found experimentally in overland flow morphologies

David Andrew Barry, Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Perona, Mohsen Cheraghi

The scaling relation between the drainage area and stream length (Hack’s law), along with exceedance probabilities of drainage area, discharge and upstream flow network length are well known for channelized fluvial regions. We report here on a laboratory e ...

Current and future spatial distribution of ticks (Ixodes ricinus) and of hosted Chlamydia in Switzerland

Morgan Bruhin

This project aims to study the spatial distribution of tick, I. ricinus, and emergent Chlamydiales families hosted by them. We used presence data associated with environmental variables to construct habitat suitability indexes by using species distribution ...

Effect of climate change on the spatial distribution of genomic variants involved in the resistance to East Coast Fever in Ugandan cattle

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana

East Coast Fever (ECF) is a major livestock disease caused by Theileria parva Theiler, 1904, an emo-parasite protozoan transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Neumann, 1901. This disease provokes high mortality in cattle populations of East an ...

Numerical approximation of phase field models for tumor growth

Léo Aurélio Diserens

In this project, we deal with the numerical approximation of problems described by a phase field model, which is nowadays popular to describe substances sharing sharp interfaces. We present the basis of the theory of mixtures required to introduce the spin ...

Why don't avalanche-dynamics models of higher complexity necessarily lead to better predictions?

Christophe Ancey

The avalanche-dynamics approach has a long history in avalanche prediction. In the absence of computers, scientists and engineers focused on idealized models in which avalanches were seen as rigid sliding blocks. Although the resulting governing equation w ...

A new tracer technique for monitoring groundwater fluxes: The Finite Volume Point Dilultion Method (FVPDM)

Jordi Batlle-Aguilar

Quantification of pollutant mass fluxes is essential for assessing the impact of contaminated sites on their surrounding environment, particularly on adjacent surface water bodies. In this context, it is essential to quantify but also to be able to monitor ...
