The effect of in-situ linear stress gradient on the frictional shear rupture growth in 2D

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Regina Fakhretdinova, Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe

Deep heat mining requires activation of slip on pre-existing geological discontinuities and the creation of hydraulically conductive fracture networks. Fluid injection or diffusion of ground waters can rise the fluid pressure near pre-existing fractures an ...

Magmatic Intrusions From a Hydraulic Fracture Modeling Perspective

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri

The emplacement of magmatic intrusions in the earth’s crust has been investigated for decades. The driving mechanism is the density difference between the fluid and the rock. In the absence of heterogeneities, this difference creates a constant buoyancy fo ...

ENHANCED GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS (EGS) - NUMERICAL PREDICTION OF THE MODE AND LOCATION OF FRACTURE INITIATION

Mohamad Zaarour

Geo-energy is a comprehensive term used to describe any form of energy that comes from the Earth. This includes hydrocarbons such as gas, oil, and coal, but also geothermal energy (shallow and deep). The focus of this thesis is on Enhanced Geothermal Syste ...

Intrafascicular electrode implant

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini

An implantable device for intrafascicular stimulation and/or sensing of a peripheral nerve, including a blocking element adapted for wrapping a nerve, comprising an access point and an exit point, and an electrode adapted to traverse the blocking element v ...

Devices, systems and methods for dispensing and analysing particles

Philippe Renaud, Yann Barrandon, David Vincent Bonzon, Jean-Baptiste Bureau, Steve Béguin

The present invention relates to a pipette tip comprising a thin holed membrane at its distal end, which is designed to be adapted with a system comprising at least an impedance analyser and a fluidic actuator to perform the dispensing and analysis of part ...

DNA barcoding of formalin‑fixed aquatic oligochaetes for biomonitoring

Régis Lionel Vivien

Background: Oligochaetes are valuable bioindicators of the quality of watercourse and lake sediments. The morphological identification of aquatic oligochaetes is difficult, prompting the development of new molecular oligochaete indices based on DNA barcodi ...

Time course of bone screw fixation following a local delivery of zoledronate in a rat femoral model – a micro-finite element analysis

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Ulrike Kettenberger, Adeliya Latypova

A good fixation of osteosynthesis implants is crucial for a successful bone healing but often difficult to achieve in osteoporotic patients. One possible solution to this issue is the local delivery of bisphosphonates in direct proximity to the implants, A ...

Development of an in situ controllable polymerization tool and process for hydrogel used to replace nucleus pulposus

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

Currently implants or tissue replacements are inserted either as a whole implant or by injecting a liquid which polymerizes to form a solid implant at the appropriate location. This is either highly invasive or not controllable. We developed a tool to perf ...

Development of a Bisphosphonate Delivering Hydrogel for the Augmentation of Impaired Peri-Implant Bone

Ulrike Kettenberger

Osteoporosis is a major health problem in our aging society. This metabolic disease, which is characterized by a deterioration of the bone microarchitecture and a significant loss of bone mass, is affecting a rising number of mostly elderly patients. The m ...

Soft tissue artifact assessment during treadmill walking in subjects with total knee arthroplasty

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Kamiar Aminian, Arnaud Barré

Accurate measurement of knee kinematics during functional activities suffers mainly from soft tissue artifact (STA): the combination of local surface deformations and rigid movement of markers relative to the underlying bone (also called rigid STA movement ...
