Stream periphytons are candidate ecosystem engineers in proglacial margins. Here, we quantify the extent to which they are engineers for the case of hillslope-fed tributaries in the terrace zones of proglacial margin alluvial plains. Candidate ecosystem en ...

Impact of substrate clogging on vertical connectivity

Giovanni De Cesare, Romain Maxime Dubuis, Robin Schroff

Connectivity between the hyporheic zone and the flow is essential for the development of benthos and the reproductive success of spawning fish. The infiltration of fine sediment leads to clogging of the riverbed, reducing porosity and vertical water exchan ...

Reduction of riverbed clogging related to sediment flushing

Giovanni De Cesare, Romain Maxime Dubuis

The ecological effects of dams on sediment and river flow have been subject to an increasing attention, leading to the implementation of mitigation measures such as environmental flow release and sediment replenishment. However, fine sediment dynamics have ...

Liquid metal infiltration of silicon based alloys into porous carbonaceous materials. Part II: Experimental verification of modelling approaches by infiltration of Si-Zr alloy into idealized microchannels

Ludger Weber, Caroline Hain, Giovanni Bianchi, Alberto Ortona, Manoj Kondibhau Naikade

In this work, the mechanisms leading to the pore closure in reactive melt infiltration (RMI) of carbon by pure silicon and a near eutectic Si-8 at-pct Zr alloy at 1500 and 1700 degrees C under vacuum were studied. Various geometrical configurations of micr ...

Lausanne s’est façonnée sur l’écoulement des eaux de la Louve et du Flon. Aujourd’hui, ces rivières canalisées et enterrées ont disparu de la surface, laissant la ville amputée de ses artères principales. D’autre part, les sols imperméables de nos villes e ...

The infiltration of a non-wetting liquid, such as molten metal, into a porous solid, such as a ceramic preform, is influenced by the wetting angle of the liquid on the solid. The link between local wetting and the minimum pressure required for initiation o ...

Multipulsed Millisecond Ozone Gasification for Predictable Tuning of Nucleation and Nucleation-Decoupled Nanopore Expansion in Graphene for Carbon Capture

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Mounir Driss Mensi, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Heng-Yu Chi, Wan-Chi Lee

Predictable and tunable etching of angstrom-scale nanopores in single-layer graphene (SLG) can allow one to realize high-performance gas separation even from similar-sized molecules. We advance toward this goal by developing two etching regimes for SLG whe ...
