Many manipulations in human everyday activities rely on the collaboration of our two hands. Bimanual fine manipulation tasks are particularly demanding as precise coordination among fingers of both hands is required. Yet, despite the abundant degrees of fr ...
Within the goal of reducing the atmospheric CO2 emissions, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is regarded as a promising option. For CO2 capture different concepts are investigated; post-combustion, pre-combustion and oxyfuel-combustion (pure O2 oxidation). Her ...
The main objective of this thesis is to model a regatta in the America’s Cup, and more precisely the first leg of the race, where the two competing sailboats have to move upwind. During the race, each crew attempts to be the first to reach the end of this ...
Starting a new venture is arguably an exciting journey into previously unknown territories. Since entrepreneurs, through their economic activities, are central to social prosperity, academic research has a strong interest to understand who those entreprene ...
Motivation: Comparative genomics aims to understand the structure and function of genomes by translating knowledge gained about some genomes to the object of study. Early approaches used pairwise comparisons, but today researchers are attempting to leverag ...
The shoulder is the joint with the largest range of motion in the human body. It is composed of three articulations, the glenohumeral articulation providing about two thirds of its mobility which is, also the most complex and fragile of the three. For this ...

The objective of this research is to compare the energy consumption of seven recently built residential neighborhoods in the urban region of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, in order to identify the influence of centrality on total energy spending. Primary energy i ...
Unexpected disruptions occur for many reasons in railway networks and cause delays, cancellations, and, eventually,
passenger inconvenience. This thesis focuses on the railway timetable rescheduling problem from a macroscopic point of view
in case of lar ...
In this thesis, we consider commercial buildings with available heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and develop methods to assess and exploit their energy storage and production potential to collectively offer ancillary services to th ...
