As part of the understanding of radiative coupling phenomena with ablation phenom- ena for hypersonic re-entry of Hayabusa or Stardust type of capsules, laboratory tests are very important. Only expansion tubes can reproduce flight conditions at these spee ...
Stepped spillways have been built since several decades in combination with roller compacted concrete dams. More recently stepped spillways are also excavated into rock along the abutments of embankment dams. According to the prevailing topography these st ...
Laminated glass components are usually realized bonding glass plates by means of interlayer polymers that develop adhesion forces during lamination. Recently, these adhesion forces have been used also to realize adhesive connections for structural glass co ...
The addition of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in hot mix asphalt is now common practice in Switzerland. With the increases of RAP content in asphalt mixture, the problematic of the mix design optimization becomes an important issue to be considered. The ...
The Time Of internally Reflected Cherenkov light (TORCH) detector is under development. Charged particle tracks passing through a 1 cm plate of quartz will generate the Cherenkov photons, and their arrival will be timed by an array of micro-channel plate p ...
For the characterization of gas migration through a low-permeability clay host rock for deep underground repositories, a comprehensive understanding of the relevant phenomena of gas and fluid flow through low-permeability clay is required. The National Coo ...
The TORCH detector is proposed for the low-momentum particle identification upgrade of the LHCb experiment. It combines Time-Of-Flight and Cherenkov techniques to achieve positive pi/K/p separation up to 10 GeV/c. This requires a timing resolution of 70 ps ...
It is in the context of miniaturization that arises the microfluidics concept. It is not uncommon in chemical, biological or medical analysis laboratories to manipulate or to mix fluids while measuring the results with filters, spectrometers or all other e ...
This volume presents selected papers from the ninth International Conference on Spectral and High Order Methods (ICOSAHOM’12) conference that was held at Gammarth, Tunisia, during the week June 25–29, 2012. These selected papers were refereed by members of ...
First applied in the 1980’s, the artificial replenishment of sediments is one technique proposed to solve the problem of sediment deficit downstream dams. The present experimental research aims at improving the technique of river replenishment and at provi ...
