Orchestrating Learning Analytics: A framework for researchers, teachers and developers
The meteoric rise in popularity of the Learning Analytics (LA) field and its recent advances, has attracted the attention of researchers, teachers and educational technology system developers alike. However, despite the profusion of LA proposals and tools ...
2016Thermally-activated flow in nominally binary Al-Mg alloys
The temperature-dependent flow behavior in nominally binary Al-Mg alloys measured recently (Jobba etal., 2015; Niewczas et al., 2015) is interpreted in the context of a parameter-free solute strengthening model. The recent measurements show consistently hi ...
Elsevier2016Innovation dynamics in the medical device sector
This thesis aims to provide new insights into the evolution of the medical device sector (MedTech). After the analysis of the history of the sector, I examine the key points that in the past 60 years, have led the industry to grow so impressively, and I pr ...
EPFL2016Building occupants in the spotlight
Daylighting brings together questions relevant to architectural design and building engineering, but also to human physiology and behaviour. This magazine article presents a shortened version of a more comprehensive scientific paper published in the Fifty ...
2015Automatic target validation based on neuroscientific literature mining for tractography
Jean-Cédric Chappelier, Sean Lewis Hill, Jocelyne Bloch, Bogdan Draganski, Renaud Luc Richardet, Xavier Vasques, David Slater
Target identification for tractography studies requires solid anatomical knowledge validated by an extensive literature review across species for each seed structure to be studied. Manual literature review to identify targets for a given seed region is ted ...
Frontiers Research Foundation2015Thermal control of ionic transport and fluid flow in nanofluidic channels
Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Mojtaba Taghipoor
In this work, we report a nanofluidic gating mechanism that uses the thermal effect for modulating the ionic transport inside nanofluidic channels. The control of the ionic transport inside a nanochannel is demonstrated using electrical conductivity. A the ...
2015Mitigating Crime Risks in the International Logistics Network
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 raised major concerns about the vulnerability of global transportation systems to transnational crime and terrorism. Although the attacks occurred in the context of passenger transport, they spurred unprecedented ...
EPFL2015What Maurice Koechlin's scientific contribution tells about his life (1856-1946)
In 1879, then 23-year-old Maurice Koechlin became the lead structural engineer of Gustave Eiffel’s construction company founded 13 years before. Together, they pushed the boundaries of steel and iron structural design. They were responsible for the design ...
