Shearing and opening of a pre-existing discontinuity in response to fluid injection

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Ankit Gupta, Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe

We investigate the fluid-driven growth of a shear crack along a frictional discontinuity and its transition to hydraulic fracturing (sometimes referred to as hydraulic jacking) under plane-strain conditions. We focus on the case of a constant friction coef ...

New particle formation event detection with Mask R-CNN

Lubna Dada, Xinyang Li

Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is an important source of climate-relevant aerosol particles which has been observed at many locations globally. To study this phenomenon, the first step is to identify whether an NPF event occurs or not on a given ...

OASE 108. Ups & Downs. Reception Histories in Architecture

Christophe van Gerrewey

What is good, less good, or bad architecture? This issue of OASE examines how shifting appreciations, for very diverse reasons, can function as a productive misunderstanding, and as a lever to advance architectural criticism and pry thinking about architec ...

Could Macroscopic Dark Matter (Macros) Give Rise to Mini-Lightning Flashes out of a Blue Sky without Clouds?

Marcos Rubinstein

A recent study pointed out that macroscopic dark matter (macros) traversing through the Earth’s atmosphere can give rise to hot and ionized channels similar to those associated with lightning leaders. The authors of the study investigated the possibility t ...

Experimental Evaluation of Steel Columns under Seismic Hazard-Consistent Collapse Loading Protocols

Dimitrios Lignos

This paper presents results from 21 large-scale experiments on steel columns that examined their collapse behavior as related to steel moment resisting frames (MRFs). The test specimens included wide-flange and square hollow structural shapes (HSS) and wer ...

On the interplay effect for moving targets treated with the CyberKnife static tracking system

François Bochud, Yihan Jia

Purpose: To assess the interplay effect amplitude between different planned MU distributions and respiratory patterns in the CyberKnife system when treating moving targets with static tracking technique. Methods: Small-and Large-Respiratory Motions (SRM an ...

A data-driven polynomial approach to reproduce the scar tissue outgrowth around neural implants

Silvestro Micera

Despite the huge complexity of the foreign body reaction, a quantitative assessment over time of the scar tissue thickness around implanted materials is needed to figure out the evolution of neural implants for long times. A data-driven approach, based on ...

Fluorescence lifetime imaging with a megapixel SPAD camera and neural network lifetime estimation

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ming-Lo Wu, Kazuhiro Morimoto

Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a key technology that provides direct insight into cell metabolism, cell dynamics and protein activity. However, determining the lifetimes of different fluorescent proteins requires the detection of a rela ...

Life cycle assessment integration into energy system models: An application for Power-to-Methane in the EU

François Maréchal, Alexis Laurent

As the EU energy system transitions to low carbon, the technology choices should consider a broader set of criteria. The use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) prevents burden shift across life cycle stages or impact categories, while the use of Energy System ...

GameWikiSum: a Novel Large Multi-Document Summarization Dataset

Boi Faltings, Diego Matteo Antognini

Today's research progress in the field of multi-document summarization is obstructed by the small number of available datasets. Since the acquisition of reference summaries is costly, existing datasets contain only hundreds of samples at most, resulting in ...
