On the effects of fluid pressure variations on rock-mass and fault mechanical behaviour
In the past 20 years, the growing interest in deep geo-reservoirs for purposes such as carbon storage, waste water disposal, or geothermal energy exploitation have led to large-volume fluid injections into the upper continental crust. These fluid injection ...
EPFL2021Repair as Practice and Knowledge. An Ethnography of Two Repair Cafés
Current repair initiatives, from networks of repair cafés run by local volunteers to community-turned-company iFixit, have been very successful at putting questions of repair and maintenance at the forefront of public debate. However, they have done so in ...
2019Spiral spin-liquid and the emergence of a vortex-like state in MnSc2S4
Jonathan White, Gregory Scott Tucker, Romain Sibille, Shang Gao
Spirals and helices are common motifs of long-range order in magnetic solids, and they may also be organized into more complex emergent structures such as magnetic skyrmions and vortices. A new type of spiral state, the spiral spin-liquid, in which spins f ...
Nature Publishing Group2017Structure formation with massive neutrinos: going beyond linear theory
Julien Lesgourgues, Diego Blas Temino
We compute non-linear corrections to the matter power spectrum taking the time-and scale-dependent free-streaming length of neutrinos into account. We adopt a hybrid scheme that matches the full Boltzmann hierarchy to an effective two-fluid description at ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2014Simulation of nonverbal social interaction and small groups dynamics in virtual environments
How can the behaviour of humans who interact with other humans be simulated in virtual environments? This thesis investigates the issue by proposing a number of dedicated models, computer languages, software architectures, and specifications of computation ...
