Life Cycle Assessment of Algal Biorefinery

Edgard Gnansounou, Jegannathan Kenthorai Raman

Only biodiesel production from algae would not be economically favorable. Other co-products such as animal feed and biochemical from algae have to be produced to utilize the full potential of algae nutrient composition and to fulfill the growing demand of ...

Semi-analytical Solutions for Tubular Chemical Reactors

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

The one-dimensional tubular reactor model with advection and possibly axial diffusion is the classical model of distributed chemical reaction systems. This system is described by partial differential equations that depend on the time t and the spati ...

Life cycle assessment of algae biodiesel and its co-products

Edgard Gnansounou, Jegannathan Kenthorai Raman

There is a need to explore alternative energy sources to meet the future energy demand in a sustainable way. Algae could be a potential feed stock for biodiesel and other co-products such as animal feed and chemicals. Life cycle assessment (LCA) of such pr ...

Persistent spatial clusters of high body mass index in a Swiss urban population as revealed by the 5-year GeoCoLaus longitudinal study

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Murielle Bochud, Joël Chételat, Fred Michel Paccaud

OBJECTIVE Body mass index (BMI) may cluster in space among adults and be spatially dependent. Whether and how BMI clusters evolve over time in a population is currently unknown. We aimed to determine the spatial dependence of BMI and its 5-year evolution i ...

Instrumented shoes for activity classification in the elderly

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Christopher Moufawad El Achkar

Quantifying daily physical activity in older adults can provide relevant monitoring and diagnostic information about risk of fall and frailty. In this study, we introduce instrumented shoes capable of recording movement and foot loading data unobtrusively ...

Incremental Model Identification in Distributed Two-phase Reaction Systems

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

Transformation to variant and invariant states, called extents, is used to decouple the dynamic effects of reaction systems and serves as basis for incremental model identification, in which kinetic models are identified individually for each dynamic effec ...

Turbulence anisotropy in a compound meandering channel with different submergence conditions

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca

The understanding of the physical processes related to flows on compound meandering channels is a challenge given their highly 3D and complex characteristics. Three-dimensional ADV measurements were made in three cross-sections on a 1:20 physical Froude mo ...

Determination of the centre of mass kinematics in alpine skiing using differential global navigation satellite systems

Julien Chardonnens

In the sport of alpine skiing, knowledge about the centre of mass (CoM) kinematics (i.e. position, velocity and acceleration) is essential to better understand both performance and injury. This study proposes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-bas ...

Biogeoinformatics of livestock genomic resources

Stéphane Joost

In 2008, FAO and WAAP published a report on production environment descriptors for animal genetic resources. One of the main conclusions was that it was necessary to quickly systematize the recording of breeds’ geographical coordinates worldwide in order t ...
