Lieu hologrammatique, un concept et une méthodologie complexe de mesure de l'organisation spatiale des réalités sociales
The urban is a complex phenomenon whose exploration remains a important scientific challenge. Choosing complex thought in order to renew our capacities for understanding and action on and with the urban is not trivial. The complex thought developed by Edga ...
EPFL2020Geomorphic work by gravity currents with varying initial conditions
Gravity currents are density-driven flows that are able to transport high amounts of sediment and are responsible of great geomorphic changes. Moreover they can have severe repercussions on the environment since they are conveyors of substances, e.g. pollu ...
EPFL2018Nanoporous Materials Can Tune the Critical Point of a Pure Substance
Berend Smit, Efrem Daniel Braun, Sondre Kvalvag Schnell
Molecular simulations and NMR relaxometry experiments demonstrate that pure benzene or xylene confined in isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (IRMOFs) exhibit true vapor-liquid phase equilibria where the effective critical point may be reduced by tuning ...
Wiley-Blackwell2015Desargues and Leibniz: In the Black Box - A Mathematical Model of the Leibnizian Monad
Here Bernard Cache provides a detailed analysis of a paper written in 1636 by the French mathematician, architect and engineer, Girard Desargues. Desargues is best known as the founder of projective geometry. Cache explains how he initally developed this s ...
Wiley-Blackwell2011Evaluation of Participants in Group-discussions on Twitter
We provide intuitive, objective and reliable metrics for evaluating the participants of a discussion based on a basic set of roles. This method can be applied to any temporally ordered discussion transcript. We show that it is possible to partially automat ...
Elsiver2011Modelling pesticides residues
This work is a contribution to the development of a specific method to assess the presence of residues in agricultural commodities. The following objectives are formulated: to identify and describe main processes in environment — plant exchanges, to build ...
EPFL2004Green's tensor technique for scattering in two-dimensional stratified media
We present an accurate and self-consistent technique for computing the electromagnetic held in scattering structures formed by bodies embedded in a stratified background and extending infinitely in one direction (two-dimensional geometry), With this fully ...
