Reaching mK-scale stability in CP-ɸOTDR over daily measurements

Luc Thévenaz, Tiago Filipe Pimentel Das Neves, Luis Costa

We propose several processing methods to mitigate the probability of large errors in Chirped-pulse ɸOTDR, improving performances for long-term measurements. For no perturbation applied, we reach a 2 mK error after a 24 h experiment. ...

Shake table testing of aggregate masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Andrea Penna

Masonry building aggregates can be found throughout historical city centers of Europe. Adjacent buildings have often developed during the long densification process, without consistent planning or engineering. It is common for neighboring units to share a ...

Measurement-system design for structural identification

Numa Joy Bertola

In developed countries, the management of existing civil infrastructure is challenging due to evolving functional requirements, aging and climate change. Due to conservative approaches in construction design and practice, infrastructure often has hidden re ...

Predicting the dynamic behavior of Francis turbine generating units

Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

To reduce CO2 emissions and tackle global warming, an increasing amount of electrical power consumed around the world must be obtained from renewable sources. Among these sources, hydropower has not only the advantage of leaving a very small carbon footpri ...

Critical lssues on lntegrated Solutions for Seismic and Energy Retrofitting of High-rise Building in Reinforced Concrete Walls and Panels: The M4 in Tor Bella Monaca - Rome

Lorenzo Diana

In Italy, after the destructions of World War II, due the particular development of economy and the political decision in the field of reconstruction, a government option for building construction industrialization comes up only at the beginning of ‘60s. A ...

Slow dynamics in structured neural network models

Samuel Pavio Muscinelli

Humans and some other animals are able to perform tasks that require coordination of movements across multiple temporal scales, ranging from hundreds of milliseconds to several seconds. The fast timescale at which neurons naturally operate, on the order of ...

The mouse genome displays highly dynamic populations of KRAB-zinc finger protein genes and related genetic units

Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Gabriela Ecco, Marco Cassano, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Michaël Imbeault

KRAB-containing poly-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) constitute the largest family of transcription factors encoded by mammalian genomes, and growing evidence indicates that they fulfill functions critical to both embryonic development and maintenance of adul ...

Thermal water purification system and method for operating said system

Chin Lee Ong

The present invention relates to a thermal water purification system (10) for producing a distillate liquid from a raw liquid (LP, LB) comprising: - a plurality of distilling units (1 a-1h) which are consecutively flowed through by the raw feed liquid (LP, ...

Imaging and manipulation of skyrmion lattice domains in Cu2OSeO3

Helmuth Berger

Nanoscale chiral skyrmions in noncentrosymmetric helimagnets are promising binary state variables in high-density, low-energy nonvolatile memory. Skyrmions are ubiquitous as an ordered, single-domain lattice phase, which makes it difficult to write informa ...

Practical Intramolecular Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory via Hartree-Fock Embedding

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jérôme Florian Gonthier

We develop a simple methodology for the computation of symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) interaction energy contributions for intramolecular noncovalent interactions. In this approach, the local occupied orbitals of the total Hartree-Fock (HF) wa ...
