Time has always been a central factor in understanding the challenges of daily mobility. For a long time, and still today, methods of economic evaluation of transport projects have monetized time savings so that they can be included in the cost–benefit ana ...
Universal inference enables the construction of confidence intervals and tests without regularity conditions by splitting the data into two parts and appealing to Markov's inequality. Previous investigations have shown that the cost of this generality is a ...
The goal of this project is to create a reliable process flow for the fabrication of a vacuum encapsulation for a resonator. This process shall be done in few steps and with standard processes from cleanroom. This encapsulation provides a wafer-level packa ...
A Suspended microchannel resonator (SMR) is composed by a hollow resonant structure containing embedded microfluidic channel. This device allows to circumvent the viscous damping confining the fluid to the inside of the resonant beam. The goal of this proj ...

This paper examines the minimization of the cost for an expected random production output, given an assembly of finished goods from two random inputs, matched in two categories. We describe the optimal input portfolio, first using the standard normal appro ...
To reduce CO2 emissions and tackle global warming, an increasing amount of electrical power consumed around the world must be obtained from renewable sources. Among these sources, hydropower has not only the advantage of leaving a very small carbon footpri ...
The objective of this project is the seismic retrofit of an existent steel structure with buckling restrained braces (BRBs), and the proposition of a possible heightening. The structure that will be analysed is the GC building on the EPFL campus, in Ecuble ...
Synopsis: Create a fair ranking system for the 2018 FIFA World Cup LCAV20171130 Level: BS, MS Description: Imagine that you are given the scores of all the 32 teams participating in the 2 ...
Hydropower plants are still the most important renewable energy resource worldwide. Hydropower is also the most efficient electricity production and has a very high flexibility in combination with reservoirs. Nevertheless, the construction of hydropower pl ...
The design of hydropower is determined by estimates and long-term forecasts. These forecasts and estimates are highly uncertain and make performance evaluation and design choices challenging. Performance evaluation of hydropower projects is affected by a n ...
