Anatomically-standardized maps reveal distinct patterns of cartilage thickness with increasing severity of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis

While cartilage thickness alterations are a central element of knee osteoarthritis (OA), differences among disease stages are still incompletely understood. This study aimed to quantify the spatial-variations in cartilage thickness using anatomically-stand ...

Behavioral and cortical effects during attention driven brain-computer interface operations in spatial neglect: A feasibility case study

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Luca Tonin, Huaijian Zhang

During the last years, several studies have suggested that Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) can play a critical role in the field of motor rehabilitation. In this case report, we aim to investigate the feasibility of a covert visuospatial attention (CVSA) dr ...

Analysing the Role of Social Visits on Migrants’ Social Capital: A Personal Network Approach

Emmanuel Pierre Jean Ravalet, Gil Viry

There are concerns that migrants may be embedded in far-flung networks with support being less collective. The spatial dispersion of their relatives and friends would result in fragmented networks with lower solidarity and lower mutual trust than densely c ...

Architecture and coevolution of allosteric materials

Matthieu Wyart, Carolina Brito Carvalho dos Santos, Riccardo Ravasio

We introduce a numerical scheme to evolve functional elastic materials that can accomplish a specified mechanical task. In this scheme, the number of solutions, their spatial architectures, and the correlations among them can be computed. As an example, we ...

Reliable Averages and Risky Extremes – Analysis of spatiotemporal variability in solar irradiance and persistent cloud cover patterns over Switzerland

Michael Lehning, Annelen Kahl, Juliette Ferial Blanchet

With the perspective of Switzerland’s phase-out from nuclear energy, solar energy potential may take an important role for the country’s future in renewable energy. Based on 12 years of satellite-derived, spatially distributed data of daily average cloud f ...

Spatial Characteristics of Roughness Sublayer Mean Flow and Turbulence Over a Realistic Urban Surface

Jiannong Fang, Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau, Marco Giovanni Giometto

Single-point measurements from towers in cities cannot properly quantify the impact of all terms in the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget and are often not representative of horizontally-averaged quantities over the entire urban domain. A series of lar ...

Reliable Averages and Risky Extremes

Michael Lehning, Annelen Kahl, Viet Anh Nguyen, Karine Maria Sarrasin

With the perspective of Switzerland’s phase-out from nuclear energy, solar energy potential may take a leading role for the country’s future in renewable energy. Unlike nuclear power stations, photovoltaic (PV) production is prone to intermittency as it de ...

Turbulent Flows within Random Arrays of Rigid and Emergent Cylinders with Varying Distribution

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo

The spatial distribution of emergent vegetation in rivers is frequently nonuniform. Here, spatial nonuniformity is simulated in the laboratory by varying longitudinally the stem areal number density (m). Time- and space-averaged flow variables, correspondi ...

Uncovering Latent Behaviors in Ant Colonies

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Laurent Keller, Mohamed Kafsi, Raphaël Braunschweig

Many biological systems exhibit collective behaviors that strengthen their adaptability to their environment, compared to more solitary species. Describing these behaviors is challenging yet necessary in order to understand these biological systems. We pro ...

Effect of deflector aerator on stepped spillway flow

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier

Systematic physical model tests are performed on a stepped spillway equipped with a bottom aerator at the beginning of the stepped part. A deflector is used to issue a jet in order to initiate air entrainment into the flow. A horizontal slot located in the ...
