Methods and systems for particle characterisation

A method and system for deriving particle characteristics is described. The method comprises imaging the movement of at least one free-floating particle in a liquid environment at at least one moment in time, determining for at least one moment in time a m ...

Characteristic classes as complete obstructions

Martina Rovelli

In the first part of this paper, we propose a uniform interpretation of characteristic classes as obstructions to the reduction of the structure group and to the existence of an equivariant extension of a certain homomorphism defined a priori only on a sin ...

Using re-calibrated design S-N curves for fatigue assessment of road bridges

Alain Nussbaumer, Luca D'Angelo

Fatigue design of road bridges according to Eurocode standards can be based on damage accumulation, provided that information about loading spectrum is available. Characteristic values of fatigue resistance and load effects as well as partial safety factor ...

Towards new invariants for principal bundles

Martina Rovelli

We investigate the theory of principal bundles from a homotopical point of view. In the first part of the thesis, we prove a classification of principal bundles over a fixed base space, dual to the well-known classification of bundles with a fixed structur ...

Effects of Pore and Cage Topology on the Thermodynamics of n-Alkane Adsorption at Bronsted Protons in Zeolites at High Temperature

Berend Smit

Monte Carlo simulations are used to systematically investigate the effects of structural topology on the thermodynamics of n-alkanes adsorbed at Bronsted protons in zeolites having one-dimensional channel systems. In zeolites without cages, the enthalpy an ...

Universal p'-central extensions

Jacques Thévenaz, Caroline Lassueur

It is well-known that a finite group possesses a universal central extension if and only if it is a perfect group. Similarly, given a prime number p, we show that a finite group possesses a universal p′-central extension if and only if the p′-part of its a ...

On chirality of toroidal embeddings of polyhedral graphs

Senja Dominique Barthel

We investigate properties of spatial graphs on the standard torus. It is known that nontrivial embeddings of planar graphs in the torus contain a nontrivial knot or a non-split link due to [2, 3]. Building on this and using the chirality of torus knots and ...

Embeddings of maximal tori in classical groups over local and global fields

Eva Bayer Fluckiger, Ting-Yu Lee

Embeddings of maximal tori in classical groups over fields of characteristic not 2 are the subject matter of several recent papers. The aim of the present paper is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for such an embedding to exist, when the base fi ...

Homotopy Excision And Cellularity

Jérôme Scherer, Kay Remo Werndli

Consider a push-out diagram of spaces C B, construct the homotopy push-out, and then the homotopy pull-back of the diagram one gets by forgetting the initial object A. We compare the difference between A and this homotopy pull-back. This difference ...

Distinguishing Crowd Dynamics in Small Teams: A Crowdsourcing Exercise in Higher Education

Christopher Tucci, Gianluigi Viscusi

Folk wisdom usually takes the number of participants as an often necessary and sufficient condition for identifying a crowd. This assumption has diffused among academics interested in crowdsourcing and collective intelligence as well. Yet, consider 50 peop ...

Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
