Centrifugal pumps are required to sustain a stable operation of the system they support under all operating conditions. Minor modifications of the surfaces defining the pump's water passage can influence the tendency to unstable system operation significan ...
This paper describes how specimens of nervous tissue can be prepared for successful imaging in X-ray Micro Computed Tomography (μCT), and how this method can be used to study the integration of nervous tissue into a polymeric scaffold. The sample preparati ...
In any sport or human endeavor, coaches regularly state “play to your strengths.” One might not guess that a land-locked, mountainous country like Switzerland would have strengths that would give them a chance at winning the oldest, most competitive sailin ...
What is the influence of sand grain shapes on an hourglass accuracy, and how does it affect the jamming probability? We study such a question using numerical simulation and our recently introduced spheropolyhedral particles. Spheropolyhedra constitute a ve ...
Numerical simulation in aluminum production envolves many different topics, this paper is dedicated to some aspects of two of them. In the first part, a numerical approach for the computation of the motion of the fluids in an electrolitic cell is presented ...
We discuss in this thesis the numerical approximation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems with a particular concern (albeit not exclusive) on hemodynamics applications. Firstly, we model the blood as an incompressible fluid and the artery wall as ...
A 2D numerical flow model, developed at the Research unit of Hydrology, Applied Hydrodynamics and Hydraulic Constructions at ULg, has been applied to flows in a macro-rough channel. The model solves the shallow water equations (SWE) with a two length scale ...
The vast majority of plant and animal species reproduce sexually despite the costs associated with sexual reproduction. Genetic recombination might outweigh these costs if it helps the species escape parasite pressure by creating rare or novel genotypes, a ...
This paper presents methods for the parameter identification of a model of subtilin production by Bacillus subtilis. Based on a stochastic hybrid model, identification is split in two subproblems: estimation of the genetic network regulating subtilin produ ...
Correct prediction of analyte concentrations from a new spectrum without drift is possible provided the spectrum lies in the row space spanned by the calibration spectra (space-inclusion condition). However, this condition may be violated as on-line spectr ...
