A deep geological repository involving a multi-barrier system constitutes one of the most promising options to isolate high-level radioactive waste from the human environment. In order to certify the efficiency of waste isolation, it is essential to unders ...
An interesting feature of light fields is a phase anomaly, which occurs on the optical axis when light is converging as in a focal spot. Since in Talbot images the light is periodically confined in both transverse and axial directions, it remains an open q ...
This semester project comes within the scope of studies at the nanometre scale. The experimental techniques used in this work are related to atomic force microscopy, which gives a direct access to the topography and forces of the studied systems. The goal ...
A novel experimental set-up was used to study superstable (magic) Ba-C-60 and K-C-60 compound clusters. The most stable systems observed cannot be rationalized by simple electronic or by geometrical shell filling arguments. Annealing the clusters past the ...
As jointed rocks consist of joints embedded within intact rock blocks, their behavior depends on the behaviors of the joints and the intact rock blocks. In a jointed rock, there are two levels of heterogeneity within the jointed rocks due to the difference ...
More than one hundred years after the discovery of superconductivity in Leiden, the intriguing physics of several unconventional classes of superconductors continue to fascinate and challenge scientists from all over the world. The majority of these compou ...
In liquid composite moulding, capillary phenomena take place as the fibre/air interface is progressively replaced by the fibre/resin interface. These effects are often neglected when computing the flow front progression into the fibre preform, because the ...
The purpose of this thesis is to develop new methods for automatic transcription of melody and harmonic parts of real-life music signal. Music transcription is here defined as an act of analyzing a piece of music signal and writing down the parameter repre ...
This paper presents a progressive coding scheme for 3-D objects, based on overcomplete signal expansions on the 2-D sphere. Due to increased freedom in the basis construction, redundant expansions have shown interesting approximation properties in the deco ...
This paper presents a progressive coding scheme for 3D objects, based on an overcomplete decomposition of the 3D model on a sphere. Due to increased freedom in the bases construction, redundant expansions have shown interesting approximation properties in ...
