Wing and tail morphing in birds and drones
To aid humans in civilian tasks, future drones will have to operate in large cities that abound with difficult flight conditions such as confined spaces, obstacles, and turbulent air. Such drones must cruise efficiently to cover vast distances fast and als ...
EPFL2023Morphological evolution of the Rhone River in the Martigny bend
Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Samuel Luke Vorlet, Najla Schaller
Sustainable water management is a principal matter to ensure safety of waterways (Berga, 2016). In this framework, the correction of the Martigny bend is a priority measure of the 3rd Rhone River correction in Switzerland, which aims at increasing the floo ...
2022A tool for mapping microglial morphology, morphOMICs, reveals brain-region and sex-dependent phenotypes
Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Lida Kanari, Martina Scolamiero
Environmental cues influence the highly dynamic morphology of microglia. Strategies to characterize these changes usually involve user-selected morphometric features, which preclude the identification of a spectrum of context-dependent morphological phenot ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Revealing Morphology Evolution of Lithium Dendrites by Large-Scale Simulation Based on Machine Learning Force Field
Solving the dendrite growth problem is critical for the development of lithium metal anode for high-capacity batteries. In this work, a machine learning force field model in combination with a self-consistent continuum solvation model is used to simulate t ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2022Applicability of the landscape evolution model in the absence of rills
David Andrew Barry, Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Perona, Seifeddine Jomaa, Mohsen Cheraghi, Andrea Cimatoribus
Despite numerous applications of physically-based models for incised landscapes, their applicability for overland flow on unchanneled surfaces is not known. This work challenges a widely used landscape evolution model for the case of non-uniform rainfall a ...
2022River morphology and sediment transport processes numerical modeling applied to the fluvial environment of the Rhône River in Valais
Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Jean-Noël Saugy, Francesc Molné Correig
Within the frame of the Third Rhône Correction, the river bend in Martigny is considered a top priority measure for flood protection. During the preliminary project, physical and numerical modeling tests were considered necessary. For the latter, the softw ...
International Research Society INTERPRAEVENT2021Microstructured biodegradable fibers for advanced controlled release
Biodegradable polymers are increasingly at the heart of therapeutic devices. Particularly in the form of thin and elongated fibers, they offer an effective strategy for controlled-release in a variety of biomedical configurations such as sutures, scaffolds ...
EPFL2020Sediment replenishment as a measure to enhance river habitats in a residual flow reach downstream of a dam
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Severin Stähly
Floodplains downstream of a dam, where the natural flow regime is replaced by a constant residual flow discharge, often lack sediment supply and periodic inundation due to the absence of natural flood events. In this study, a flood with a one-year return p ...
Canadian Dam Association2019Cellular advective-diffusion drives the emergence of bacterial surface colonization patterns and heterogeneity
Alexandre Louis André Persat, Tamara Rossy
Microorganisms navigate and divide on surfaces to form multicellular structures called biofilms, the most widespread survival strategy found in the bacterial world. One common assumption is that cellular components guide the spatial architecture and arrang ...
2019Sediment replenishment combined with an artificial flood improves river habitats downstream of a dam
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Severin Stähly, Christopher Robinson
River reaches downstream dams where a constant residual flow discharge is imposed, often lack sediment supply and periodic inundation due to the absence of natural flood events. In this study, a two-year return flood was released from an upstream reservoir ...
