Limiting Regimes of a Three-Dimensional Buoyant Hydraulic Fracture Emerging from a Point Source

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri

Buoyant hydraulic fractures occur in nature as magmatic dikes and sills. In industrial applications like well stimulation, the emergence of buoyant fractures is undesirable and often limited by the injected volume and/or variation of in-situ stress. This c ...

Integrity and Metadata Protection in Data Retrieval

Kirill Nikitin

Secure retrieval of data requires integrity, confidentially, transparency, and metadata-privacy of the process. Existing protection mechanisms, however, provide only partially these properties: encryption schemes still expose cleartext metadata, protocols ...

A 3D Microscaffold Cochlear Electrode Array for Steroid Elution

Jürgen Brugger, Joo Yeon Kim, Jongmoon Jang

In cochlear implants, the electrode insertion trauma during surgery can cause damage residual hearing. Preserving the residual hearing is an important challenge and the localized administration of drugs, such as steroids, is one of the most promising ways, ...

CHAINIAC: Proactive Software-Update Transparency via Collectively Signed Skipchains and Verified Builds

Bryan Alexander Ford, Linus Gasser, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias, Philipp Svetolik Jovanovic, Nicolas Gailly, Kirill Nikitin, Ismail Khoffi

Software-update mechanisms are critical to the security of modern systems, but their typically centralized design presents a lucrative and frequently attacked target. In this work, we propose CHAINIAC, a decentralized software-update framework that elimina ...

Sediment evacuation from reservoirs through intakes by jet induced flow

Jolanda Maria Isabella Jenzer Althaus

Today’s worldwide yearly mean loss of storage capacity due to sedimentation is already higher than the increase of capacity by the construction of new reservoirs for irrigation, drinking water and hydropower. In Asia for example 80% of the useful storage c ...

An Integrated Framework for Improving the Quality and Reliability of Software Upgrades

Olivier Crameri

Despite major advances in the engineering of maintainable and robust software over the years, upgrading software remains a primitive and error-prone activity. In this dissertation, we argue that several problems with upgrading software are caused by a poor ...

Inducing tolerance to a soluble foreign antigen by encapsulated cell transplants

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider

The immune response to soluble antigens constitutes a current clinical problem impeding the development of protein therapeutics. We have developed an encapsulated-cell delivery system, which, transiently combined with an anti-CD154 antibody treatment, allo ...

Nerve growth factor- and neurotrophin-3-releasing guidance channels promote regeneration of the transected rat dorsal root

Patrick Aebischer, Nicolas Bouche, Eric Garrison Fine

Dorsal roots have a limited regeneration capacity after transection. To improve nerve regeneration, the growth-promoting effects of the neurotrophins nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) were evalua ...

GDNF reduces drug-induced rotational behavior after medial forebrain bundle transection by a mechanism not involving striatal dopamine

Patrick Aebischer

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the progressive loss of the substantia nigra (SN) dopaminergic neurons projecting to the striatum. Neurotrophic factors may have the potential to prevent or slow down the degenerative process occurring in PD. To ...
