The primary goal of this research is to undertake an analytical study addressing the urbanisation of rural areas as a major territorial, environmental and cultural challenge. The new relations that have developed between urban and rural areas clearly signa ...
The objective of this project is to develop a low-cost and flexible solution for mapping the nearshore bathymetry using a small quadcopter that hovers above the surf zone. ...
Transition-metal catalysed enantioselective CâH functionalisations enable rapid increase of molecular complexity via non-classical disconnections. This thesis describes the development of intramolecular Pd(0)-catalysed C-H functionalisations for the asym ...
The efforts made to plan cities in emerging and developing countries are confronted to multiple issues, especially in small and middle-sized cities, which can be considered as poor through several criteria: socio-economic level of majority of population; l ...
Tourism could be greatly affected by climate change due to its strong dependence on weather. In Switzerland, the sector represents an appreciable share of the economy. Thus, studying climate effects on tourism is necessary for developing adequate adaptatio ...
At the turn of the 19th century, the production and use of concrete were limited by the unavailability of raw materials to produce good cement in several places. From that time onwards, the progress of chemistry and a number of empirical discoveries opened ...
Iron reduction in Gram-positive bacteria is not well understood yet, even if it has been investigated in some extent for Gram-positive bacteria. The mechanisms involved in the delivery of electrons to a solid terminal electron acceptor like iron oxides hav ...
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is among the major causes of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. In developing countries, HEV infections are caused by genotypes 1 and 2, due to consumption of contaminated water. Large and recurrent outbreaks of HEV occur in specific ...
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 ...
In this work, the issue of hospital and urban wastewater treatment is studied in two different contexts, in Switzerland and in developing countries (Ivory Coast and Colombia). For this purpose, the treatment of municipal wastewater effluents is studied, si ...
