The influence of water-saturation on the strength of volcanic rocks and the stability of lava domes

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Michael Heap

The rocks forming a volcanic edifice or dome are typically saturated or partially-saturated with water. However, most experiments aimed at better understanding the mechanical behaviour of volcanic rocks have been performed on dry samples, and therefore mos ...

Controlling the crystal structure of succinic acid via microfluidic spray-drying

Esther Amstad, Aysu Ceren Okur

Many properties of materials, including their dissolution kinetics, hardness, and optical appearance, depend on their structure. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to control the structure of low molecular weight organic compounds that have a high propen ...

Textile reinforced concrete for sustainable structures: Future perspectives and application to a prototype pavilion

Aurelio Muttoni, Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is a cementitious‐based material where reinforcement consists of high‐strength noncorrosive textile fabrics. Due to the use of a noncorrosive reinforcement, cover requirements can be limited to minimum static values and th ...

Gradient expansion formalism for magnetogenesis in the kinetic coupling model

Oleksandr Sobol

In order to describe magnetogenesis during inflation in the kinetic coupling model, we utilize a gradient expansion which is based on the fact that only long-wavelength (superhorizon) modes undergo amplification. For this purpose, we introduce a set of fun ...

A Fully Integrated 60 mV Cold-Start Circuit for Single Coil DC-DC Boost Converter for Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting

Maher Kayal, François Krummenacher, Mathieu Yves Hervé Coustans

Harvesting energy from ambient energy sources, such as thermal gradients is one solution to address the dramatic increase in energy consumption of personal electronics. While in the field, energy abundantly available in form of heat. The use of primary cel ...

Soft And Wearable Transducers: Opportunities And Challenges For Daily Use

Stéphanie Lacour

Soft bioelectronic interfaces are broadly defined as microfabricated devices, distributed over large-areas, and with mechanical properties suited to comply the soft and dynamic biological tissues. The hybrid integration and processing of materials ranging ...

High bi-atrial organization in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation terminated within the left atrium

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot

Sustained atrial fibrillation (AF) is maintained by sites displaying high dominant frequency (DF). In patients (pts) with long-standing persistent AF (LS-pAF), their spatial distribution and the presence of a left-to-right atrial DF gradient remain poorly ...

Formation Mechanisms and Structural Properties of Aluminium-Chromium Based Oxynitride Thin Films Synthesized by Physical Vapor Deposition

Hossein Najafi

Oxynitride thin films, a novel class of mixed anionic solid structures, have gained an intense interest during recent years related to the unique interplay of oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) with metals in the material structure. This matter can result in spec ...

Dry wear and tribocorrosion mechanisms of pulsed plasma nitrided Ni-Cr alloy

Stefano Mischler

The dry wear and tribocorrosion behaviour of pulsed plasma treated and non-treated Ni-Cr alloys sliding against alumina at 15 N were investigated by using a reciprocating wear test rig equipped with an electrochemical cell. The pulsed plasma treatment prod ...

Pore scale analyses of evaporation from porous media

Nima Shokri

Evaporation from porous media is a key process in the hydrologic cycles, waste isolation, biological and food processes and other engineering application. Drying rate and patterns in porous media are strongly influenced by transport properties of the mediu ...
