2023Drivers and Barriers Toward Healthy and Environmentally Sustainable Eating in Switzerland: Linking Impacts to Intentions and Practices
Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Ivo Philippe Baur, Ralph Hansmann
Food consumption is among the activities with the most significant environmental impacts, and furthermore contributes to rising health costs. We explored the factors that foster or hinder healthy and sustainable eating in Switzerland. Based on an online ho ...
2022Validation of bond models for the crack width estimation based on detailed measurements
Aurelio Muttoni, Enrique Corres Sojo
Crack formation and development in reinforced concrete structures is a complex mechanism affected by a large number of factors. Typically, the estimation of the crack width as a function of the reinforce-ment stress state is based on simplified assumptions ...
2022Geographic footprints of life expectancy inequalities in the state of Geneva, Switzerland
Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder, Anaïs Laurence Ladoy
Though Switzerland has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, this global indicator may mask significant disparities at a local level. The present study used a spatial cluster detection approach based on individual death records to investigate ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2021Steady-state neutronic measurements and comprehensive numerical analysis for the BME training reactor
This paper describes steady-state reactor physics measurements and calculations that were performed for the Training Reactor of Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME TR) with the purpose of benchmarking. Based on the available geometry speci ...
2021Third correction of the Rhône River in Switzerland: physical and numerical modelling of the “Martigny bend” priority measure
Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Irene Almeida Samora, Pierre Bourqui, Jean-Noël Saugy
The Rhône River, second largest in Switzerland, has already been corrected twice (1863-1893; 1930-1960) to ensure safety and economic development in the Rhône valley. However, in October 2000, the highest flood of the century occurred showing the limitatio ...
International Research Society INTERPRAEVENT2021Applying SHARK-X to perform data assimilation with the LWR-PROTEUS Phase II integral experiments
Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, Daniel Jerôme Siefman
Data assimilation methods have recently been implemented in the sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification tool SHARK-X. This paper presents how they were used with sensitivity coefficients and randomly-sampled nuclear data to simulate integral pa ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2020Drivers and barriers towards healthy and environmentally friendly eating habits in Switzerland
Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Ivo Philippe Baur, Ralph Hansmann
Food consumption in Switzerland is the activity with the largest environmental impact, which also contributes significantly to rising health costs. Therefore, it is a crucial societal aim to better understand the drivers and barriers to healthy and sustain ...
2020Undercatch Adjustments for Tipping-Bucket Gauge Measurements of Solid Precipitation
Heated tipping-bucket (TB) gauges are used broadly in national weather monitoring networks, but their performance for the measurement of solid precipitation has not been well characterized. Manufacturer-provided TB gauges were evaluated at five test sites ...
AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC2020Preventive chemotherapy to control soil-transmitted helminthiasis averted more than 500 000 DALYs in 2015
Background: Preventive chemotherapy (PC), the large-scale administration of anthelminthics, is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH). Since 2010, donated anthelminthics for STH have boost ...
