Most chemical and biochemical reactions in nature and in industrial processes are driven by thermal effects that bring the reactants above the energy barrier for reaction. In aqueous solutions, this process can also be triggered by the laser driven tempera ...

Element location and classification following a damage event of a near-full-scale deployable tensegrity structure

Ian Smith, Ann Christine Sychterz

Current infrastructure is designed and built such that it must resistall possible loads. This leads to overdesigned structures that are inefficient in terms energy and cost. A structure that can self-identify damage, adapt, and learn for future events resu ...

The Effect of European Integration on Swiss Energy Policy and Governance

Matthias Finger, Paul Adrianus Van Baal

The unique “Swiss way” of association with the European Union (EU) has received increasing attention in light of recent events such as Brexit as it is based on sectoral agreements without an overarching institutional framework. As such, Europeanization of ...

F-19 Magic Angle Spinning Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Enhanced NMR Spectroscopy

David Lyndon Emsley, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Moreno Lelli, Jasmine Viger-Gravel, Claudia Esther Avalos, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan

The introduction of high-frequency, high-power microwave sources, tailored biradicals, and low-temperature magic angle spinning (MAS) probes has led to a rapid development of hyperpolarization strategies for solids and frozen solutions, leading to large ga ...

Furthering embodied carbon assessment in practice: Results of an industry-academia collaborative research project

Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

In order to meet the mid-century carbon reduction targets and to mitigate climate change and global warming it is imperative that embodied greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions in the built environment receive immediate attention from policy, industry and acad ...

Experimental campaign on thin RC columns prone to out-of-plane instability: numerical simulation using shell element models

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso, Lisandro Arturo Jimenez Roa

Construction of multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings in areas of moderate to high seismicity has become a common practice in several Latin-American countries such as Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico. The large material cost has led to the ...

Improved detection sensitivity for heavy trace elements using a miniature laser ablation ionisation mass spectrometer

Herbert Shea, Reto Wiesendanger, Peter Wurz

Laser ablation ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry is a versatile technique to obtain highly sensitive measurement of the elements and isotope composition of solid materials. Because of the measurements of nearly all elements in the sample, large i ...

Spliced longitudinal reinforcement may result in a reduction of both strength and displacement capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members. This applies in particular when lap splices are located in regions where inelastic deformations concentrate, such a ...

Accelerating equilibrium isotope effect calculations. I. Stochastic thermodynamic integration with respect to mass

Jiri Vanicek, Konstantin Karandashev

Accurate path integral Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics calculations of isotope effects have until recently been expensive because of the necessity to reduce three types of errors present in such calculations: statistical errors due to sampling, path inte ...

Composition of the low seismic velocity E ′ layer at the top of Earth's core

James Badro

Using ab initio simulations on Fe-Ni-S-C-O-Si liquids, we constrain the origin and composition of the low-velocity layer E′ at the top of Earth's outer core. We find that increasing the concentration of any light element always increases velocity and so a ...
