Physical and 3D Numerical Simulations of the Flow in the Tailrace of a Hydroelectric Power Plant to Design Fishway Entries

This work is part of a project aiming at dimensioning a fishway for a hydroelectric power plant on the Rhine River. Here we only focus on the design of the fishway entrances, for which a physical model of the draft tubes and tailrace of the powerplant was ...

Synthesis and Characterization of a Water Stable Uranyl(V) Complex

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Radmila Faizova

We have identified a polydentate aminocarboxylate ligand that stabilizes uranyl(V) in water. The mononuclear [UO2(dpaea)]X, (dpaeaH2 = Bis(pyridyl-6-methyl-2-carboxylate)-ethylamine; X = CoCp2*+ or X = K(2.2.2.cryptand) complexes have been isolated from an ...

Bilateral cortical representation of tactile roughness

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

Roughness is the most important feature for texture discrimination. Here we investigate how the bilateral cortical representation of touch is modulated by tactile roughness by analyzing the neural responses elicited by stimuli with various coarseness level ...

Guessing the Fingerings

Samuel Pierre Rey

Some strings instruments, such as guitar or violin, can play the same note using different fingerings. To find out which string has been used, we developed an algorithm that compute the inharmonicity of a given audio sample, and then use it to identify the ...

An approach for system identification in unmanned surface vehicles

Izzet Kagan Erünsal

In this study, a system identification methodology is introduced to determine the model parameters of unmanned surface vehicles. The proposed identification scheme is based on sequencing the experiments according to their capabilities to identify the model ...

ScienceWISE: Topic Modeling over Scientific Literature Networks

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessio Vincenzo Cardillo, Andrea Martini

We provide an up-to-date view on the knowledge management system ScienceWISE (SW) and address issues related to the automatic assignment of articles to research topics. So far, SW has been proven to be an effective platform for managing large volumes of te ...

The Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase, GuaB2, Is a Vulnerable New Bactericidal Drug Target for Tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Anthony Vocat, Andréanne Lupien, Raphael Christopher Sommer

VCC234718, a molecule with growth inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), was identified by phenotypic screening of a 15344-compound library. Sequencing of a VCC234718-resistant mutant identified a Y487C substitution in the inosine mo ...

Quantifying similarity of pore-geometry in nanoporous materials

Berend Smit, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Senja Dominique Barthel, Yongjin Lee, Pawel Tadeusz Dlotko

In most applications of nanoporous materials the pore structure is as important as the chemical composition as a determinant of performance. For example, one can alter performance in applications like carbon capture or methane storage by orders of magnitud ...
