The goal of this Diploma Thesis is to deliver an integrated view on EPFL as an energy system. It shall support future decision making about further steps towards increased sustainability and efficiency at EPFL, regarding the energy system. The results of t ...
The inherent coupling of optical and mechanical modes in high finesse optical microresonators provides a natural, highly sensitive transduction mechanism for micromechanical vibration. Using homodyne and polarization spectroscopy techniques, we achieve sho ...
The strength of optomechanical interactions in a cavity optomechanical system can be quantified by a vacuum coupling rate g(0) analogous to cavity quantum electrodynamics. This single figure of merit removes the ambiguity in the frequently quoted coupling ...
A method is proposed to assess the natural ventilation potential by taking into account the most comprehensive set of factors involved in natural ventilation. These factors are either driving forces, such as wind pressure and stack effect, or constraints, ...
In this contribution we present experiments of an adaptive locomotion controller on a compliant quadruped robot. The adaptive controller consists of adaptive frequency oscillators in different configurations and produces dynamic gaits such as bounding and ...
Within the European research project HOPE, 64 office buildings were audited regarding in-door environment quality and building characteristics. Of those buildings, two groups are se-lected: 21 buildings with low prevalence of the sick building syndrome, an ...
Electromagnetically induced transparency is a quantum interference effect observed in atoms and molecules, in which the optical response of an atomic medium is controlled by an electromagnetic field. We demonstrated a form of induced transparency enabled b ...
The two objectives of natural ventilation in buildings are the improvement of indoor air quality and thermal comfort. The methodology proposed hereafter provides an assessment of the natural ventilation potential for indoor air quality, while taking into c ...
Remifentanil, like the other sedative drugs used to achieve conscious sedation, has an impact on the efficiency of patient ventilation. Since the quality of breathing has an indirect effect on blood O2 and CO2 concentrations, keeping patients' blood homeos ...
Bone is a natural composite construct, with a gradient structure going from a loose interconnected cellular core to an outer dense wall, thus minimizing bone weight while keeping a high mechanical resistance. Due to this unique and complex structure, bone ...
