Supercooled liquids are characterized by their fragility: The slowing down of the dynamics under cooling is more sudden and the jump of specific heat at the glass transition is generally larger in fragile liquids than in strong ones. Despite the importance ...
Rainfall-triggered runoff is a major driver of pesticide input in streams. Only few studies have examined the suitability of passive sampling to quantify such episodic exposures. In this study, we used Empore(TM) styrene-divinylbenzene reverse phase sulfon ...
Cloud computing has become pervasive due to attractive features such as on-demand resource provisioning and elasticity. Most cloud providers are centralized entities that employ massive data centers. However, in recent times, due to increasing concerns abo ...
An advanced optical ray tracing software was developed for the extensive study of Complex Fenestration Systems. Using an algorithm mixing two and three-dimensional approaches, very fast and accurate computation of large number of rays in complex geometries ...
Developers rely on automated testing and verification tools to gain confidence in their software. The input to such tools is often generated by compilers that have been designed to generate code that runs fast, not code that can be verified easily and quic ...
European funding under Framework 7 (FP7) for the virtual physiological human (VPH) project has been in place now for 5 years. The VPH Network of Excellence (NoE) has been set up to help develop common standards, open source software, freely accessible data ...
The CubETH satellite mission, a cooperative Swiss CubeSat mission involving ETH Zurich, EPF Lausanne, several universities of applied sciences, and Swiss companies, will allow technology demonstrations and proof-of-concepts concerning GNSS-based navigation ...
Eddy current induction is used in a wide range of electronic devices, for example in detection sensors. Due to the advances in computer hardware and software, the need for 3D computation and system comprehension is a requirement to develop and optimize suc ...
Gels of semi-flexible polymers, network glasses made of low valence elements, softly compressed ellipsoid particles and dense suspensions under flow are examples of floppy materials. These systems present collective motions with almost no restoring force. ...
This chapter shows some of the practices of engineers use when they are confronted to completely new situations, when they enter into an emerging field where methods and paradigms are not yet stabilized. Following the engineers here would help to shed ligh ...
