Collapse-invariant properties of spaces equipped with signals or directions
Collapsing cell complexes was first introduced in the 1930's as a way to deform a space into a topological-equivalent subspace with a sequence of elementary moves. Recently, discrete Morse theory techniques provided an efficient way to construct deformatio ...
EPFL2022Transformations silencieuses : étude sur l'architecture alpine
This thesis addresses the question of abandonment in architecture, not in its negative sense of desertion, but as a possibility offered to buildings which have lost their original purpose, which is to say those buildings from social and economic contexts w ...
EPFL2021On the effect of ligand shell heterogeneity on nanoparticle/protein binding thermodynamics
Francesco Stellacci, Ahmet Bekdemir, Suiyang Liao
Nonspecific protein adhesion to nanoparticle (NP) has been proven to have important implications in nanomedicine. However, there are only a few examples of careful studies relating protein binding thermodynamics to NP physicochemical features. In particula ...
2019Cross-sections of line configurations in R-3 and (d-2)-flat configurations in R-d
We consider sets L = {l(1),..., l(n)} of n labeled lines in general position in R-3, and study the order types of point sets {p(1),..., p(n)} that stem from the intersections of the lines in L with (directed) planes Pi, not parallel to any line of L, that ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV2019Scanning Probe Microscopy Characterization of Organic Self-Assembled Monolayers
Evangelia-Nefeli Athanasopoulou
As technology advances, surface coatings become more and more important to assure materials performances. In recent years, molecular coatings have found larger acceptance and uses. Among them, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are attractive because they ar ...
EPFL2018Disorder effects on the coupling strength of coupled photonic crystal slab cavities
Vincenzo Savona, Juan Pablo Vasco Cano
We study the effects of disorder on the coupling strength of coupled photonic crystal slab cavities by considering fully-3D electromagnetic calculations. Specifically, we investigate two coupled L3 cavities at 30 degrees and 60 degrees configurations, wher ...
2018Search for B -> h nu(nu)over-bar decays with semileptonic tagging at Belle
Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Tara Nanut, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Dipanwita Dutta
We present the results of a search for the rare decays B -> h nu(nu) over bar, where h stands for K+, K-S(0), K*(+); K*(0); pi(+); pi(0), rho(+) and rho(0). The results are obtained with 772 x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs collected with the Belle detector at ...
Amer Physical Soc2017Systems and methods for spray drying in microfluidic and other systems
The present invention generally relates to microfluidics, and to spray drying and other drying techniques. By at least partially drying fluids within a microfluidic channel, instead of or in addition to conventional spray drying techniques, better control ...
2014Search for Time-dependent Neutrino Emission from Astrophysical Sources with 3 yr of IceCube Data
Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Sofia Vallecorsa, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai
We present the results of a search for neutrino point sources using the IceCube data collected between 2008 April and 2011 May with three partially completed configurations of the detector: the 40-, 59-, and 79-string configurations. The live-time of this ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2013Asymmetric Multilevel Diversity Coding and Asymmetric Gaussian Multiple Descriptions
We consider the asymmetric multilevel diversity (A-MLD) coding problem, where a set of 2(K) - 1 information sources, ordered in a decreasing level of importance, is encoded into K messages (or descriptions). There are 2(K) - 1 decoders, each of which has a ...
