Hydromorphodynamic effects of the width ratio and local tributary widening on discordant confluences

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña, António Heleno Cardoso

River training works performed in the last couple of centuries constrained the natural dynamics of channel networks in locations that include the confluences between tributaries and main channels. As a result, the dynamics of these confluences are currentl ...

The Next Switzerland: The Country's New Political Geography Goes Without the Röstigraben

Shin Alexandre Koseki

Cultural diversity and political stability are historical trademarks of Switzerland. This paradox makes of the country a success story of modern democracies. On many social and political questions, cultural frontiers between linguistic groups have been kno ...

Snowmelt observations at the slope scale and implications for the catchment response using the Alpine3D model

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Ernesto Trujillo Gomez, Tristan Jonas Brauchli

Snowpack and especially its melt during spring is a crucial resource for water availability in mountainous regions. A better understanding of the processes and their representation in hydrological models is therefore necessary for different purposes, such ...

Junction chamber at vortex drop shaft: case study of Cossonay

Michael Pfister, Corrado Gisonni, David Dorthe, Gaetano Crispino, Thierry Fuchsmann

The drainage network of the city of Cossonay (Switzerland) is currently being adapted for future needs. In particular, it is required to drain increased storm discharges due to a population augmentation and to provide an adequate concept to overcome unfavo ...

Drones InSecurity

This project is about testing the security of casual/commercial drones. For this, we tested drones from the company Parrot, but the conclusions apply to all drones based on WiFi controllers. To test drones security, the project was divided in two parts. Th ...

Hydro-morphodynamics of open-channel confluences with low discharge ratio and dominant tributary sediment supply

Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

River confluences in which the tributary supplies the dominant sediment load, and the flow discharge is abundantly provided by the main river, are typically observed in mountain-river basins. The existent knowledge on the hydrodynamic, morphodynamic and se ...

An intercomparison of subgrid models for large-eddy simulation of katabatic flows

Fernando Porté Agel, Craig Matthew Smith

We present an intercomparison of three subgrid-scale (SGS) models for large-eddy simulation (LES) of katabatic flows. The SGS closures we study include the Smagorinsky formulation, a scale-invariant dynamic model, and a scale-dependent dynamic model. Downs ...

A Hierarchical Structure of Cortical Interneuron Electrical Diversity Revealed by Automated Statistical Analysis

Henry Markram, Sean Lewis Hill, Idan Segev

Although the diversity of cortical interneuron electrical properties is well recognized, the number of distinct electrical types (e-types) is still a matter of debate. Recently, descriptions of interneuron variability were standardized by multiple laborato ...

Dividing the spoils of growth and the cell cycle: The fission yeast as a model for the study of cytokinesis

Viesturs Simanis, Anupama Goyal

Cytokinesis is the final stage of the cell cycle, and ensures completion of both genome segregation and organelle distribution to the daughter cells. Cytokinesis requires the cell to solve a spatial problem (to divide in the correct place, orthogonally to ...
