Directed mean curvature flow in noisy environment

We consider the directed mean curvature flow on the plane in a weak Gaussian random environment. We prove that, when started from a sufficiently flat initial condition, a rescaled and recentred solution converges to the Cole-Hopf solution of the KPZ equati ...

Dynamics of cavitation bubbles near granular boundaries

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

We study the dynamics of a cavitation bubble near beds of sand of different grain sizes. We use high-speed imaging to observe the motion of the bubble and the sand for different values of the stand-off parameter gamma (dimensionless bubble-boundary distanc ...

Planning: from model to modules

Florence Graezer Bideau

The tradition of planning in China is multisecular. The planning of the Chinese Imperial city was based on the model of the walled city that was reproduced and extended over several scales, from micro (courtyard) to macro (an entire city). The spatial revo ...

Leveraging mobile eye-trackers to capture joint visual attention in co-located collaborative learning groups

Pierre Dillenbourg, Kshitij Sharma, Guillaume Zufferey, Sébastien Cuendet, Bertrand Roland Schneider

This paper describes a promising methodology for studying co-located groups: mobile eye-trackers. We provide a comprehensive description of our data collection and analysis processes so that other researchers can take advantage of this cutting-edge technol ...

The mechanics of punching in reinforced concrete slabs and footings without shear reinforcement

João Tiago Ramos Bernardo de Santa Rita Simões

Punching shear failures of structural concrete members have been the focus of attention of numerous works presented over the last decades. Although various rational approaches have been developed to predict these failures, there is still no unanimity on a ...

Constitutive and numerical modeling of anisotropic quasi-brittle shales

Francesco Parisio

Understanding the hydro-mechanical behavior of shale is fundamental to assess the safety of deep geological nuclear repository sites. Several countries have adopted argillaceous formations as host geological media for the repository. In Switzerland, the ca ...

Comparison between reduced basis and stochastic collocation methods for elliptic problems

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Peng Chen

The stochastic collocation method has recently been applied to stochastic problems that can be transformed into parametric systems. Meanwhile, the reduced basis method, primarily developed for solving parametric systems, has been recently used to deal with ...

Non-profit housing influencing, leading and dominating the unitary rental market

Philippe Thalmann

The distinction between dual rental systems and unitary rental markets is refined and developed. In particular, unitary rental markets are defined as markets in which barriers to nonprofit providers competing on the rental market are removed, reserving the ...
