A new spatial count data model with Bayesian additive regression trees for accident hot spot identification

The identification of accident hot spots is a central task of road safety management. Bayesian count data models have emerged as the workhorse method for producing probabilistic rankings of hazardous sites in road networks. Typically, these methods assume ...

Déchets radioactifs: qui veut d'un site d'enfouissement près de chez lui?

Laurent Nicolet

Professor Laloui gave an interview to Migros Magazine. The talk was about nuclear waste storage. As we know, disposal of nuclear waste abroad is forbidden since 2006 and therefore new solutions are being considered. The solution discussed is underground wa ...

Studying the impact of radioactive charging on the microphysical evolution and transport of radioactive aerosols with the TOMAS-RC v1 framework

Athanasios Nenes

Radioactive charging can significantly impact the way radioactive aerosols behave, and as a result their lifetime, but such effects are neglected in predictive model studies of radioactive plumes. The objective of this work is to determine the influence of ...

The radiation field in the Gamma Irradiation Facility GIF plus plus at CERN

Georgi Gorine, Federico Ravotti

The high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade is setting now a new challenge for particle detector technologies. The increase in luminosity will produce a particle background in the gas-based muon detectors that is ten times higher than under conditions at the ...

Impact of Insurance on Earthquake Risk Territories in Japan

Rémy Zgraggen

The subject of the present PhD thesis is the qualitative, interdisciplinary analysis of the impact of earthquake insurance on earthquake risk territories in Japan. On the one hand, the Japanese Earthquake Insurance System (JEI) will be analyzed; on the oth ...

Providing and Optimizing a Robotic Construction Plan for Rescue Operations

Francesco Mondada, Hadi Ardiny, Stefan John Witwicki

After a terrible disaster such as an earthquake or a nuclear accident, finding victims and isolating them from hazards are usually the first priorities for rescuers. As the security of rescuers and the stabilization of the environment are critical componen ...

Interaction between BaCO3 and OPC/BFS composite cements at 20 degrees C and 60 degrees C

Emmanuel Gallucci

A BaCO3 slurry, containing radioactive C-14, is produced during the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. This slurry is encapsulated in a Portland-blastfurnace slag composite cement. The effect of BaCO3 on the hydration of OPC and Portland-blastfurnace slag ...

Improvement of the Decay Heat Removal Characteristics of the Generation IV Gas-cooled Fast Reactor

Aaron Simon Epiney

Gas cooling in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has a long history, the corresponding reactor types developed in France, the UK and the US having been thermal neutron-spectrum systems using graphite as the moderator. The majority of NPPs worldwide, however, are ...
