Maximum entropy production, carbon assimilation, and the spatial organization of vegetation in river basins

The spatial organization of functional vegetation types in river basins is a major determinant of their runoff production, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. The optimization of different objective functions has been suggested to control the adaptive be ...

Heat-driven spin currents on large scales

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet

Using a three-current model (i.e. heat, spin-up and spin-down electrons) the thermodynamics of irreversible processes predicts that a temperature gradient gives rise to a spin current on large scales, in particular under the conditions used to measure the ...

Thermal variability of the internal friction in clay in a cylindrical thermo-mechanical problem

Lyesse Laloui, Bertrand François

Variability of the internal friction angle with temperature is studied in a boundary value problem numerically simulating the impact of a cylindrical heat source on the stress and strain in soil mass in which it is emplaced. Even if the thermal increase of ...

Benchmark Of Fluid And Kinetic Simulations Of Type Iii Elming H-Mode On Tcv

Barbora Bruant Gulejová, Richard Pitts

Although the most complex currently available fluid-neutral Monte-Carlo plasma boundary code package, SOLPS, has been a major player in the ITER divertor design, it has not yet been systematically used for the study of kinetic phenomena such as ELM transie ...

Steady-State heat transfer through micro-channels in pressurized He II

Alessandro Mapelli, Pier Paolo Granieri, Davide Tommasini

The operation of the Large Hadron Collider superconducting magnets for current and high luminosity future applications relies on the cooling provided by helium-permeable cable insulations. These insulations take advantage of a He II micro-channels network ...

Advanced techniques for all-electrical spectroscopy on spin caloric phenomena

Dirk Grundler

Spin-dependent properties of nanomagnets and magnetic/nonmagnetic hybrid systems have gained a renewed interest after the discovery of spin caloric transport phenomena. To explore such properties in detail, advanced techniques need to be developed. In this ...

Spintronics: Conceptual Building Blocks

Jean-Philippe Ansermet

The purpose of this introduction to spintronics is to provide some elementary description of its conceptual building blocks. Thus, it is intended for a newcomer to the field. After recalling rudimentary descriptions of spin precession and spin relaxation, ...

A theoretical study of disorder and decomposition in multinary nitrides hard coatings materials

Björn Alling

The development of multinary nitrides materials has revolutionised the hard coatings industry over the last 20 years. Especially important materials systems in this matter have been TiAlN and CrAlN which shows higher hardness, better oxidation resistance a ...

The Casimir force in the semi-classical regime

The present thesis is devoted to a detailed study of the Casimir force exerting between two parallel metallic plates whose conducting behaviour is described on the microscopic level. In the semi-classical regime, which corresponds to large separations and ...

Supercritical reaction calorimetry: A novel route to supercritical fluid reaction monitoring

Thierry Meyer, Charalampos Mantelis, Frédéric Lavanchy

Supercrit. fluids (SCFs) were intensively studied in the last decade as alternative, environment-friendly benign reaction solvents. A new anal. technique was derived from a combination of classical heat flow reaction calorimetry and the supercrit. fluid te ...
