Rock scour occurring near dam foundations due to high-velocity jets of spillways impinging into the plunge pool is a major concern regarding dam safety. Scour in fractured rock resulting from high-velocity jet impact is a complex phenomenon, which involves ...
Estimation of the quantities of harmful substances emitted into the atmosphere is one of the main challenges in modern environmen- tal sciences. In most of the cases, this estimation requires solving a linear inverse problem. A key difficulty in evaluating ...
The way human beings engage with material things in our environment is experiencing rapid modification. Human and non-human, natural and artificial creatures are on the verge of building unprecedented relations of sociability. This paper takes this process ...
In this paper, we present an experiment in the context of a child-robot interaction where we study the influence of the child-robot spatial arrangement on the child’s focus of attention and the perception of the robot’s performance. In the “Co-Writer learn ...
The dynamics following the photoexcitation of Ag atoms in 4He nanodroplets via the 5p 2P1=2 ← 5s2S1=2 and 5p 2P3=2 ← 5s2S1=2 transitions has been investigated in a joint experimental and theoretical effort. It has been experimentally found that upon excita ...
This paper tackles the problem of multi-robot odor distribution mapping through time series analysis. Considering the conditions of real world environments where the chemical concentration distribution is patchy, intermittent and time-variant, we propose a ...
We compare non-local magnetoresistance measurements in multi-terminal Ni nanostructures with corresponding local experiments. In both configurations, the measured voltages show the characteristic features of anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR). However, th ...
In this paper, we investigate the following problem: given the image of a scene, what is the trajectory that a robot-mounted camera should follow to allow optimal dense depth estimation? The solution we propose is based on maximizing the information gain o ...
The main goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the capability of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) instability control, particularly sawteeth and neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs), in order to achieve high performance operation. Experiments and simulations have b ...
A 1D Canopy Interface Model (CIM) is developed to act as an interface between a meso-scale and a micro-scale atmospheric model and to better resolve the surface turbulent fluxes in the urban canopy layer. A new discretisation is proposed to solve the TKE e ...
