Inter-laboratory trial of a standardized sediment contact test with the aquatic plant Myriophyllum aquaticum (ISO 16191)

A whole-sediment toxicity test with Myriophyllum aquaticum has been developed by the German Federal Institute of Hydrology and standardized within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO; ISO 16191). An international ring-test was performed ...

(Finite) statistical size effects on compressive strength

The larger structures are, the lower their mechanical strength. Already discussed by Leonardo da Vinci and Edme Mariotte several centuries ago, size effects on strength remain of crucial importance in modern engineering for the elaboration of safety regula ...

Ron was wrong, Whit is right

Arjen Lenstra, Joppe Willem Bos, Thorsten Kleinjung, Maxime Augier, Christophe Wachter

We performed a sanity check of public keys collected on the web. Our main goal was to test the validity of the assumption that different random choices are made each time keys are generated. We found that the vast majority of public keys work as intended. ...

Personal Robust Navigation in Challenging Applications

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Valérie Jeanne Thérèse Renaudin-Schouler

Personal navigation has grown rapidly with the introduction of ubiquitous computing and the new generation of smart phones. Appropriate localisation is nowadays a central element for many applications and mobile services. However the proper estimation of t ...

Impulse waves at Kühtai reservoir generated by avalanches and lindslides

Michael Pfister

The Kühtai reservoir is planned as an addition to the existing Sellrain-Silz group of HPPs. Two natural hazards relevant in terms of potential impulse wave impact on the dam were identified: a snow avalanche near the dam axis and a possible landslide furth ...

Fragility Assessment of Reduced Beam Section Moment Connections

Dimitrios Lignos

This paper presents fragility functions to estimate the probability of reaching or exceeding different damage states in reduced beam section (RBS) beam-to-column moment connections of steel moment resisting frames. The fragility functions are developed usi ...

A generic calibration framework for joint estimation of car following models using microscopic data

Microscopic simulation models have become widely applied tools in traffic engineering. Nevertheless, parameter identification of these models remains a difficult task. This is for one caused by the fact that parameters are generally not directly observable ...

Optimal energy conversion system design under uncertain parameters

François Maréchal

The aim of this project is to integrate uncertainty analysis in a thermo-economic optimization framework to be used as decision making support in the design of energy systems.Tree comprehensive thermo-economic models of fuel cells systems have been develop ...

Superadiabaticity in magnetic resonance

David Lyndon Emsley, Philip John Grandinetti

Adiabaticity plays a central role in modern magnetic resonance experiments, as excitations with adiabatic Hamiltonians allow precise control of the dynamics of the spin states during the course of an experiment. Surprisingly, many commonly used adiabatic p ...

Size effects in the fatigue behaviour of tubular bridge joints

Luís Costa Borges

A critical aspect in the design of tubular bridges is the fatigue performance of the structural joints. Economic viability depends on it. Lower fatigue strength for joints with thicker failing members was observed in welded joints typical to the bridge app ...
