The crystallography of twinning is based on the concepts of simple shear and obliquity introduced by Mugge, Mallard and Friedel at the turn of the last century, with tensor mathematics later developed by Bilby, Bevis and Crocker in the 1960s. We propose a ...
Rances in the north of Vaud suffered last year from the effects of large soil movement. Rances became the new playground where MeduSoil technology was tested as a remediation for this type of events. This is a decisive new step, after the technology has be ...
In the first chapter of this thesis, the macrocyclization of a new type of bifunctional substrates, omega-isocyanoaldehyde derivatives, is described. Ten different omega-isocyanoaldehydes in terms of different ring sizes and functional groups were prepared ...
In this work we give optimal, i.e., necessary and sufficient, conditions for integrals of the calculus of variations to guarantee the existence of solutions-both weak and variational solutions-to the associated L-2-gradient flow. The initial values are mer ...
It is generally assumed that the parent-twin interface is a fully invariant plane. The calculations of the rational interfaces of the type I twins and irrational interfaces of the type II twins are based on this hypothesis. Recently, some asymmetric facets ...
The Quantified Self (QS) members explore the relation between self-tracking and individual change. Berger and Luckmann insists that individual change begins with a disruptive emotion. It continues with the public sharing of the story of the event. Then the ...
We study the multitype contact process on Z(d) under the assumption that one of the types has a birth rate that is larger than that of the other type, and larger than the critical value of the standard contact process. We prove that, if initially present, ...
The common placement of thermostats in offices might not reflect the actual thermal environment around occupants and influence the energy use. In this research, it is questioned which type of thermostat at which location better represents the conditions in ...
The current pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected most of the world in a profound way. As an indirect consequence, the general public has been put into direct contact with the research process, almost ...
We consider a distributed binary hypothesis testing setup where multiple nodes send quantized information to a central processor, which is oblivious to the nodes’ statistics. We study the regime where the type-II error decays exponentially and the type-I e ...
