Use of IoT sensing and occupant surveys for determining the resilience of buildings to forest fire generated PM2.5

Wildfires and associated emissions of particulate matter pose significant environmental and health concerns. In this study we propose tools to evaluate building resilience to extreme episodes of outdoor particulate matter using a combination of indoor and ...

When walking peters out: investigating distance-decay and time-decay for daily walking

Vincent Kaufmann, Emmanuel Pierre Jean Ravalet, Derek Pierre Christie, Dominic Villeneuve, Fernando Anisio De Oliveira Simas

In Switzerland, walking accounts for 30% of trips and 44% of single-mode episodes. This is higher than in many countries but does not account for walking distances or durations, which tend to be short according to evidence from North America. This contribu ...

New Approach to Identifying Critical Initial Conditions for Extreme Flood Simulations in a Semicontinuous Simulation Framework

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Bettina Schaefli, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue

Extreme flood simulation with synthetic extreme precipitation events raises unavoidable questions about the choice of initial conditions. State-of-the-art extreme flood estimation frameworks propose to address these questions with the help of semicontinuou ...

A wrist sensor and algorithm to determine instantaneous walking cadence and speed in daily life walking

Kamiar Aminian, Pierre-André Farine, Flavien Bardyn, Benedikt Fasel, Cyntia Duc, Farzin Dadashi, Martin Savary

In daily life, a person’s gait—an important marker for his/her health status—is usually assessed using inertial sensors fixed to lower limbs or trunk. Such sensor locations are not well suited for continuous and long duration measurements. A better locatio ...

Rich Vehicle and Inventory Routing Problems with Stochastic Demands

Iliya Dimitrov Markov

This thesis develops a unified framework for modeling and solving various classes of rich routing problems with stochastic demands, including the VRP and the IRP. The work is inspired by the problem of collecting recyclables from sensorized containers in G ...

An inertial sensor-based system for spatio-temporal analysis in classic cross-country skiing diagonal technique

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Benedikt Fasel, Julien Chardonnens

The present study proposes a method based on ski fixed inertial sensors to automatically compute spatio-temporal parameters (phase durations, cycle speed and cycle length) for the diagonal stride in classical cross-country skiing. The proposed system was v ...

Probabilistic approach for fatigue evaluation of welded connections with application to road steel bridges

Luca D'Angelo

Fatigue analysis of steel bridges asks for consideration of welded joints. Traditional fatigue analysis of welded joints under variable amplitude loadings is based on the nominal stress approach, wherein constant amplitude (CA) S-N curves are used in combi ...

A robust method for inverse transport modelling of atmospheric emissions using blind outlier detection

Martin Vetterli, Benjamin Bejar Haro, Marta Martinez-Camara

Emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere are a serious environmental concern. In order to understand and predict their effects, it is necessary to estimate the exact quantity and timing of the emissions, from sensor measurements taken at differe ...

Bayesian Semiparametrics for Modelling the Clustering of Extreme Values

Thomas Lugrin

Extreme events can be statistically characterised as excesses of a high threshold. Inference in this case has to account for dependence between excesses. The peaks over threshold approach suggests pre-processing the series by defining clusters of successiv ...

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Christoph Frei, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Luca Pescatore, Katharina Müller, Jian Wang, Yi Zhang, Lei Zhang, Jessica Prisciandaro, Mark Tobin, Minh Tâm Tran, Niko Neufeld, Matthew Needham, Marc-Olivier Bettler, Greig Alan Cowan, Maurizio Martinelli, Vladislav Balagura, Donal Patrick Hill, Cédric Potterat, Liang Sun, Pietro Marino, Jean Wicht, Ilya Komarov, Bastien Luca Muster, Frédéric Guillaume Dupertuis, Julien Rouvinet, Barinjaka Rakotomiaramanana, Pierre Jaton, Joël Bressieux, Raluca Anca Muresan, Songmei Wu, Johan Luisier, Raphael Märki, Hans Dijkstra, Gerhard Raven, Peter Clarke, Frédéric Teubert, Giovanni Carboni, Victor Coco, Adam Davis, Paolo Durante, Wenyu Zhang, Andrei Martynov

A search for the doubly charmed baryon Xi(+)(cc) in the decay mode Xi(+)(cc) -> Lambda(+)(c) K-pi(+) is performed with a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.65 fb(-1), of p p collisions recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV. N ...
