Evaluation of silicate minerals for acid neutralization during bioremediation of high concentrations of chlorinated ethenes

Chloroethenes are the most prevalent groundwater contaminants in developed countries. They accumulate in the environment as a dense non aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) which acts as a long term source of contamination. Enhanced in situ anaerobic bioremediatio ...

Optimizing Mixing in Pervasive Networks: A Graph-Theoretic Perspective

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Murtuza Jadliwala, Igor Bilogrevic

One major concern in pervasive wireless applications is location privacy, where malicious eavesdroppers, based on static device identifiers, can continuously track users. As a commonly adopted countermeasure to prevent such identifier-based tracking, devic ...

Methane sources and sinks in Lake Kivu

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

Unique worldwide, Lake Kivu stores enormous amounts of CH4 and CO2. A recent study reported that CH4 concentrations in the lake have increased by up to 15% in the last 30 years and that accumulation at this rate could lead to catastrophic outgassing by sim ...

Wave induced velocities inside a model seagrass bed

Laboratory measurements reveal the flow structure within and above a model seagrass meadow (dynamically similar to Zostera marina) forced by progressive waves. Despite being driven by purely oscillatory flow, a mean current in the direction of wave propaga ...

Effects of wave forcing on a subterranean estuary

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar, Clare Robinson

Wave and tide are important forcing factors that typically co-exist in coastal environments. A numerical study was conducted to investigate individual and combined effects of these forces on flow and mixing processes in a near-shore subterranean estuary. A ...

Influence of natural attenuation and river fluctuations on benzene dispersion in an alluvial aquifer subject to strong interactions with surface water

Jordi Batlle-Aguilar

A contaminated alluvial aquifer, in a former gasworks factory and discharging to an adjacent river, was the object of field and laboratory investigations to assess pollutant attenuation and dispersion. Various organic and inorganic compounds were found in ...

How Does Plant Diversity Affect Soil Aggregate Stability and Erosion Processes in Disturbed Alpine Ecosystems?

Plant species diversity is hypothesized to be among the most relevant factors for enhancing soil stability in disturbed sites at high elevation. Because a more diverse plant community may comprise a high number of plant species of different growth forms, p ...

Tracking Games in Mobile Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert, Julien Freudiger

Users of mobile networks can change their identifiers in regions called mix zones in order to defeat the attempt of third parties to track their location. Mix zones must be deployed carefully in the network to reduce the cost they induce on mobile users an ...

Integrated nanoplasmonic-nanofluidic biosensors with targeted delivery of analytes

Hatice Altug, Min Huang

Performances of the biosensors are often limited by the depletion zones created around the sensing area which impede the effective analyte transport. To overcome this limitation, we propose and demonstrate a nanoplasmonic-nanofluidic sensor enabling target ...

On the Optimal Placement of Mix Zones

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger, Reza Shokri

In mobile wireless networks, third parties can track the location of mobile nodes by monitoring the pseudonyms used for identification. A frequently proposed solution to protect the location privacy of mobile nodes suggests to change pseudonyms in regions ...
