Spatial and temporal changes of primary production in a deep peri-alpine lake

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Tiit Kutser

Lake productivity is fundamental to biogeochemical budgets as well as estimating ecological state and predicting future development. Combining modelling with Earth Observation data facilitates a new perspective for studying lake primary production. In this ...

Transparent and Specular Object Reconstruction with a Plenoptic Camera

Ying Song

Over the past two decades, most techniques that have been developed are focused on opaque objects with Lambertian reflectance. For the transparent and specular objects, they have more complex light transport effect, which pose challenging problems for the ...

Extreme light absorption in a necking-free monolayer of resonant-size nanoparticles for photoelectrochemical cells

Ali Dabirian

Semiconductor photoelectrodes for water oxidation that absorb visible light usually have poor electronic transport properties and small optical absorption coefficients near their absorption edge. Therefore, innovative designs that lead to significant optic ...

Impact of internal crystalline boundaries on lattice thermal conductivity: Importance of boundary structure and spacing

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Ramin Aghababaei

The low thermal conductivity of nano-crystalline materials is commonly explained via diffusive scattering of phonons by internal boundaries. In this study, we have quantitatively studied phononcrystalline boundaries scattering and its effect on the overall ...

[DEMO] Tracking Texture-less, Shiny Objects with Descriptor Fields

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Kwang Moo Yi, Alberto Crivellaro, Yannick Verdie

Our demo demonstrates the method we published at CVPR this year for tracking specular and poorly textured objects, and lets the visitors experiment with it and with their own patterns. Our approach only requires a standard monocular camera (no need for a d ...

Multiple contrast metrics from the measurements of a digital confocal microscope

Michaël Unser, Demetri Psaltis, Alexandre Goy

We describe various methods to process the data collected with a digital confocal microscope (DCM) in order to get more information than what we could get from a conventional confocal system. Different metrics can be extracted from the data collected with ...

Effective Heat and Mass Transport Properties of Anisotropic Porous Ceria for Solar Thermochemical Fuel Generation

Sophia Haussener, Aldo Steinfeld

High-resolution X-ray computed tomography is employed to obtain the exact 3D geometrical configuration of porous anisotropic ceria applied in solar-driven thermochemical cycles for splitting H2O and CO2. The tomography data are, in turn, used in direct por ...

An X-ray computed tomography-based index to characterize the quality of cataclastic carbonate rock samples

Aurèle Parriaux, Pascal Turberg, Reto Meuli, Vincent Labiouse, Pierre Guillaume Christe

X-ray computed tomography (XRCT) can reconstruct, in a nondestructive way and in three-dimension, the distribution of densities within opaque materials. Consequently, it provides an effective possibility to characterize the inner content of rock core sampl ...

Boiling on a Tube Bundle

Eugene van Rooyen

The complexity of two-phase flow boiling on a tube bundle presents many challenges to the understanding of the physical phenomena taking place. It is important to quantify these numerous heat flow mechanisms in order to better describe the performance of t ...
