Pamphlet Vol. 06 is based on the Spring 2009 semester-course held by the studio ALICE at EPFL and contains a series of projects developed by the ALICE students for alpine motels along 8 mountain passes in the Valais. ...
Conference presentation This presentation was part of a series of invited lectures on the issue of “digital tectonics”. Each invited speaker was asked to create a “tectonic manifesto” outlining the approach and concepts that they use to develop the link be ...
This paper investigates the mechanical behaviour and the load-carrying mechanisms of reinforced concrete slabs by means of shear fields. The suitability of various shear fields obtained from different approaches (elastic and plastic theory) is investigated ...
Bond separation reactions of highly branched alkanes are used to assess (de)stabilizing interactions associated with various 1,3-nonbonded substituent patterns. While n- and singly methylated alkanes show positive bond separation energies (BSEs), which inc ...
This paper presents an analysis and design method for the current control of a series connected multilevel converter with interleaved switching. Based on a conventional design method for the parameters of a PI controller, the variable response of a current ...
As geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are becoming integral components of modern municipal solid waste landfill lining systems, increased interest is directed at investigating their behaviour under different environmental stresses such temperature, chemical c ...

Vascular smooth muscle is a major structural element of the arterial wall. We examined the effects of cytoskeleton destruction, after administration of Cytochalasin D, on the biomechanical properties of porcine common carotids. Compared to untreated, maxim ...
Earlier experimental work on decellularized arteries revealed the existence of significant residual stresses within the arterial wall, which are released upon chemical removal of vascular smooth muscle in normal arteries causing substantial radial expansio ...
We review adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms (MCMC) as a mean to optimise their performance. Using simple toy examples we review their theoretical underpinnings, and in particular show why adaptive MCMC algorithms might fail when some fundamental ...
Adaptive filtering is a topic of immense practical and theoretical value, having applications in areas ranging from digital and wireless communications to biomedical systems. This book enables readers to gain a gradual and solid introduction to the subject ...
