Determination of Parameters Characteristic of Dynamic Weakening Mechanisms During Seismic Faulting in Cohesive Rocks

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Chiara Cornelio

While sliding at seismic slip-rates of ∼1 m/s, natural faults undergo an abrupt decrease of shear stress called dynamic weakening. Asperity-scale processes related to flash heating and weakening and, meso-scale (mm-cm) processes involving shear across the ...

Pattern formation in thin liquid films: from coating-flow instabilities to microfluidic droplets

Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra

Nature and technical applications abound with thin viscous flows, ranging from the lava flow on volcanoes to the lubricating layer around confined bubbles in the microchannels of Lab-on-a-Chip devices. Countless are the examples where coating flows arise i ...

Three-dimensional immersive virtual reality for studying cellular compartments in 3D models from EM preparations of neural tissues

Pierre Magistretti, Corrado Cali, Daniya Boges, Madhusudhanan Srinivasan

Advances in the application of electron microscopy (EM) to serial imaging are opening doors to new ways of analyzing cellular structure. New and improved algorithms and workflows for manual and semiautomated segmentation allow us to observe the spatial arr ...

Understanding cave genesis along favourable bedding planes. The role of the primary rock permeability

Laurent Tacher, Marco Filipponi, Pierre-Yves Jeannin

Recent studies on the complex 3D geometry of large cave systems around the World allowed us to get statistical evidence of the inception horizon hypothesis. It clearly confirmed the idea that the development of karst conduits under phreatic conditions is s ...

Spatial analysis of karst conduit networks and determination of parameters controlling the speleogenesis along preferential lithostratigraphic horizons

Marco Filipponi

The main objective of this thesis is to improve the understanding of the position and characteristics of karst conduits within a rock massif. Such a characterisation is an important issue in civil engineering and in hydrogeology. Today in practice dissolut ...

Constraints on alpine speleogenesis from cave morphology - A case study from the eastern Totes Gebirge (Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria)

Marco Filipponi

The Totes Gebirge is the largest karst massif in the Northern Calcareous Alps (NCA). This paper focuses on the eastern Part, where two major multiphase alpine cave systems (Burgunderschacht Cave System and DOF-Sonnenleiter Cave System) are described with r ...

Simulating interactions with virtual characters for the treatment of social phobia

Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec

Virtual Reality (VR) has nowadays become a very useful tool for therapists in the treatment of phobias. Indeed, it allows the simulation of scenarios which are difficult to reproduce in real life. It also allows for a situation to be repeated as much as on ...

Evidence of inception horizons in karst conduit networks

Laurent Tacher, Marco Filipponi, Pierre-Yves Jeannin

This paper outlines the conclusion from an analysis of 18 large cave systems around the world, comprising more than 1500 km of conduits. The 3D geometry of complex cave systems have been analysed in relation to their geological context as well as their hyd ...

Practical Design and Implementation of a CAVE Environment

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Sylvain Cardin, Achille Peternier

CAVE systems are nowadays one of the best Virtual Reality (VR) immersive devices available for rendering virtual environments. Unfortunately, such kind of hardware is extremely expensive, complex and cum-bersome, thus limited in its spread. Several cheaper ...

Typology of recent groundwaters from different aquifer environments based on geogenic tracer elements

A key problem in environmental science and in engineering geology is the often incomplete understanding of the origin of dissolved components in groundwater. The dissolved contents of trace elements in groundwater are of special importance for groundwater ...
