Control of axisymmetric vortex breakdown in a constricted pipe: Nonlinear steady states and weakly nonlinear asymptotic expansions

The present paper investigates numerically and theoretically the axisymmetric vortex breakdown occurring in a constricted pipe of infinite extension, i.e., the transition from a smooth columnar state to a breakdown state exhibiting a recirculation bubble. ...

Positive feedbacks contribute to the robustness of the cell cycle with respect to molecular noise

Marc Hafner

Most cellular oscillators rely on interlocked positive and negative regulatory feedback loops. While a negative circuit is necessary and sufficient to have limit-cycle oscillations, the role of positive feedbacks is not clear. Here we investigate the possi ...

Towards a Unified Model of Occupants' Behaviour and Comfort for Building Energy Simulation

Frédéric Haldi

The building sector alone accounts for around half of the energy consumed in Switzerland and most other developed countries, with associated adverse environmental consequences, and there is a great potential for savings in this sector. For this reason, the ...

Ammonia-containing Industrial Effluents, Lethal to Rainbow Trout, Induce Vacuolisation and Neutral Red Uptake in the Rainbow Trout Gill Cell Line, RTgill-W1

Kristin Schirmer

Nine samples of whole effluent from the operation of an industrial plant over the course of one year, were tested on rainbow trout for lethality and on the rainbow trout gill cell line, RTgill-W1, for metabolic activity, plasma membrane integrity, and lyso ...

'I pay enough taxes already!' Applying economic voting models to environmental referendums

Philippe Thalmann, Nicholas Bornstein

Objectives. Models of economic voting have rarely been applied to referendum votes. We fill this gap by testing citizens’ voting behavior on environmental policy in relation to their perception of the business cycle. Thus, the study examines the personal, ...

Application of the Kano-Hamilton Multiangle Inversion Method in Clear Atmospheres

Marc Parlange

An improved measurement methodology and a data-processing technique for multiangle data obtained with an elastic scanning lidar in clear atmospheres are introduced. Azimuthal and slope scans are combined to reduce the atmospheric heterogeneity. Vertical pr ...

Recent progress on the development and analysis of the ITPA global H-mode confinement database

Yves Martin

This paper describes the updates to and analysis of the International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA) Global H-Mode Confinement Database version 3 (DB3) over the period 1994-2004. Global data, for the energy confinement time and its controlling parameters, ...

Scaling of the energy confinement time with beta and collisionality approaching ITER conditions

Yves Martin

The condition of the latest version of the ELMy H-mode database has been re-examined. It is shown that there is bias in the ordinary least squares regression for some of the variables. To address these shortcomings three different techniques are employed: ...

Combinatorial Approach for Data Binarization

This paper addresses the problem of transforming arbitrary data into binary data. This is intended as preprocessing for a supervised classification task. As a binary mapping compresses the total information of the dataset, the goal here is to design such a ...
