Development of a methodology for extreme flood estimations in alpine catchments for the verification of dam safety

Fränz Zeimetz

Dams are critical infrastructures which may be endangered by natural hazards as extreme foods. The water release structures especially the spillways must be designed in such a way that they can ensure the safe passage of extreme floods. Uncontrolled overto ...

Annual glare evaluation for fabrics

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold

Although fabrics are widely used as shading devices, reliable simulation models are rather rare and therefore the choice of a fabric with appropriate material characteristics is difficult. This paper presents a simulation model, which can be applied to mos ...

Development of a methodology for extreme flood estimations in alpine catchments for the verification of dam safety

Fränz Zeimetz

In the context of dam safety, reliable safety flood estimation methods are necessary to guarantee a sufficiently designed spillway capacity. Todayâs state of the art allows to approach this topic under different angles. Statistical extrapolations are com ...

Comparing connectomes across subjects and populations at different scales

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Stephan Morgenthaler, Alessandra Griffa, Elda Fischi Gomez, Patric Hagmann, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji

Brain connectivity can be represented by a network that enables the comparison of the different patterns of structural and functional connectivity among individuals. In the literature, two levels of statistical analysis have been considered in comparing br ...

Spatio-Temporal Diffusion Strategies for Estimation and Detection Over Networks

Ali H. Sayed

We present diffusion algorithms for distributed estimation and detection over networks that endow all nodes with both spatial cooperation abilities and temporal processing abilities. Each node in the network is allowed to share information locally with its ...

Multi-modal change detection, application to the detection of flooded areas: outcome of the 2009-2010 data fusion contest

Devis Tuia

The 2009-2010 Data Fusion Contest organized by the Data Fusion Technical Committee of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society was focused on the detection of flooded areas using multi-temporal and multi-modal images. Both high spatial resolution opt ...
