The influence of early design decisions on solar potential at the urban scale - A parametric sensitivity analysis

The aim of this project was to investigate and quantify the impact of certain early design decisions on the solar potential of a target building placed in an urban context. This was done through a parametric study based on the successive variation of speci ...

Large Scale Variational Bayesian Inference for Structured Scale Mixture Models

Matthias Seeger, Young Jun Ko

Natural image statistics exhibit hierarchical dependencies across multiple scales. Representing such prior knowledge in non-factorial latent tree models can boost performance of image denoising, inpainting, deconvolution or reconstruction substantially, be ...

Screening of the factors influencing frictional interactions between a cylindrical tip and the cardiac wall using factorial analysis

Hannes Bleuler, Giulio Rognini, Lionel Flaction, Bandar Muntazar Hakim

Knowledge of frictional forces acting on the tips of minimally invasive medical devices is important in the design and simulation of such devices. Moreover, several studies have shown that uncontrolled frictional forces can induce damage to organs. The goa ...

The effects of practice schedule and critical thinking prompts on learning and transfer of a complex judgment task.

Many instructional strategies that appear to improve learners' performance during training may not realize adequate posttest performance or transfer to a job. The converse has been found to be true as well: Instructional strategies that appear to slow the ...

Closed-loop identication of MIMO systems: a new look at identifiability and experiment design

Ljubisa Miskovic

This paper addresses a question that has been posed to us:“Is it necessary to excite all reference signals for the identification of a multivariable system operating in closed loop with a linear time-invariant controller?” In this paper we follow a careful ...

Reconfigurability, new materials: future challenges for antenna design and simulation

Juan Ramon Mosig, Anja Skrivervik, Frédéric Bongard, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier

Re-configurability is one of the key features in modern wireless communications. Indeed, the increase of services provided imply an optimized management of the electromagnetic spectrum, along with strong miniaturization in order to allow for the cohabitati ...

Investigation of hot roller embossing for microfluidic devices

Nico de Rooij

Abstract Microfluidics for most bio-related diagnostic applications typically requires single usage disposable chips to avoid bio-fouling and cross-contamination. Individual piece-wise manufacturing of polymeric microfluidic devices has been widely employe ...

Supplementary motor area and anterior intraparietal area integrate fine-graded timing and force control during precision grip

Dominique Chapuis, Roger Gassert, Etienne Burdet

We investigated the neuronal processing of the physiologically particularly important precision grip (opposition of index finger and thumb) by the combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and an MR-compatible haptic interface. Ten health ...

Co-encapsulation of dexamethasone 21-acetate and SPIONs into biodegradable polymeric microparticles designed for intra-articular delivery

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Olivier Jordan

Objective: Intra-articular drug delivery systems still suffer from too short-lasting effects. Magnetic particles retained in the joint using an external magnetic field might prolong the local release of an anti-inflammatory drug. For the purpose, superpara ...

Effect of Mixing and Other Operating Parameters in Sol-Gel Processes

Paul Bowen

In this work the effect of mixing on a sol-gel process is quantitatively investigated. Titanium dioxide synthesis from titanium tetra-isopropoxide is used as a test reaction. Solutions of titanium alkoxide in isopropyl alcohol and water in isopropyl alcoho ...
