Technical difficulties associated with excavation works in tectonized geological settings are frequent. They comprise instantaneous and/or delayed convergence, sudden collapse of gallery roof and/or walls, outpouring of fault-filling materials and water in ...
To progress in the monitoring and understanding of soil water processes, geophysical methods can be helpful because they are non invasive and as such do not disturb either the structure or the water dynamics of the soil. In this study we attempt to image w ...
We report an alternative technique to perform a direct and local measurement of electrical resistivities in a layered retinal tissue. Information on resistivity changes along the depth in a retina is important for modelling retinal stimulation by retinal p ...
Location-awareness is crucial to many applications of sensor networks. Existing location surveying approaches either rely on an inflexible infrastructure or suffer from high computation and communication load. In this paper, we present Non-intEractive lOca ...
3-D geological models are built with data collected in the field such as boreholes, geophysical measurements, pilot shafts or geological mapping. Unfortunately, these data are always limited in number. It implies that geological information is sparse and s ...
The action of water waves moving over a porous seabed drives a seepage flux into and out of the marine sediments. The volume of fluid exchange per wave cycle may affect the rate of contaminant transport in the sediments. In this paper, the dynamic response ...
The Haute Sarine alpine valley is located at an average altitude of approximately 1'000 to 1'200 masl. It was formed in its southern part up to the area of Gstaad to the favour of a typical North-South tectonic fault according to the main structures of the ...
Significant progress was made these last decades in the development of hydrogeological methods. However, these new methods are still very little used in the problematics of unstable slopes, mainly because of the hydrogeological complexity, which characteri ...

This paper introduces three wavelet-based damage-sensitive features (DSFs) extracted from structural responses recorded during earthquakes to diagnose structural damage. Because earthquake excitations are nonstationary, the wavelet transform, which represe ...
