The surprising implications of familial association in disease risk

A wide range of diseases show some degree of clustering in families; family history is therefore an important aspect for clinicians when making risk predictions. Familial aggregation is often quantified in terms of a familial relative risk (FRR), and altho ...

Indicators for measuring the contributions of individual knowledge brokers

An increasing number of knowledge brokers work at the interface between research, policy and practice. Their function is to facilitate processes to foster mutual learning among research, policy and practice. For some knowledge brokers, practical methodolog ...

Cavity ring-down spectroscopy to measure negative ion density in a helicon plasma source for fusion neutral beams

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Yanis Andrebe, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Gennady Plyushchev

Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) is used to measure the D- absolute density produced in the helicon plasma reactor RAID (Resonant Antenna Ion Device) at the Swiss Plasma Center. The birdcage geometry of the helicon antenna produces a homogeneous, high- ...

Unleashing the power of semantic text analysis: a complex systems approach

Andrea Martini

In the present information era, a huge amount of machine-readable data is available regarding scientific publications. Such unprecedented wealth of data offers the opportunity to investigate science itself as a complex interacting system by means of quanti ...

Knee Implant Loosening Detection: A Vibration Analysis Investigation

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Arami, Hossein Rouhani

Knee implant loosening is mainly caused by the weakness of the prosthesis-bone interface and is the main reason for surgical revisions. However, pre-operative diagnosis is difficult due to lack of accurate tests. In this study, we developed a vibration-bas ...

Modeling of a capacitive sensor dedicated to drug injection

Catherine Dehollain

to follow up patients who inject themselves insulin with injection pen is a quite complex task. Due to the repetition of injections, and the numerous influent parameter the patient can easily made an injection mistake and it is difficult for health-takers ...

Development and Characterisation of Silicon Photomultiplier Multichannel Arrays for the Readout of a Large Scale Scintillating Fibre Tracker

Axel Kuonen

The current LHCb detector will continue collecting data until the long shutdown 2 (2019/2020). It will be upgraded in order to operate at higher luminosity. To achieve this, two major changes are required. First the Level-0 hardware trigger limited to 1,M ...

Transfer of graphene on polymeric foil

Marsha Mary Parmar, Guilhem Edouard Baptiste Noiraud

Since its creation in 2004 [1], graphene has become an important subject in the scientific community. From the Scotch tape method, many techniques have been developed to fabricate and manipulate graphene flakes. This project aims to transfer graphene flake ...

Transforming cumulative hazard estimates

Mats Julius Stensrud, Pal Christie Ryalen

Time-to-event outcomes are often evaluated on the hazard scale, but interpreting hazards may be difficult. Recently in the causal inference literature concerns have been raised that hazards actually have a built-in selection bias that prevents simple causa ...
