Deoxygenative trifluoromethylthiolation of carboxylic acids

Xile Hu, Runze Mao, Srikrishna Bera, Alexis Baptiste Cheseaux

Here we describe a deoxygenative trifluoromethylthiolation method that yields trifluoromethyl thioesters from readily available carboxylic acids. The method is built upon an "umpolung" strategy where triphenylphosphine is used to first activate an electrop ...

Adding value to bridges by monitoring and UHPFRC technology

Eugen Brühwiler

Novel structural engineering methods and technologies are urgently needed to improve the performance of existing structures, such as bridges. Limited funding and ever increasing user demands challenge current technologies which are often invasive and not c ...

CFD as an Enginer's Tool for Investigation of Large-Scale-Flow-Phenomena "at Land, Sea and Air"

Michel Deville

Along with prospective fashion of solving the engineering-tasks (if development would allow us a such approach while answering the technology-questions of some project in future), goes alternatively corrective performance of those engineering tools, used t ...

Beyond Classical Resonances. Stockholm Mass-Housing Experiments Before the 1930

Chiara Monterumisi

The goal of the 1930 Stockholm exhibition was to illustrate a national project around dwellings and household goods for the Swedish mass. Indeed, in the manifesto acceptera, the organisers masterminded by Gregor Paulsson, investigated the cultural situatio ...

Application of a Point Estimate Method for incorporating the epistemic uncertainty in the seismic assessment of a masonry building

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin

Several sources of uncertainty affect the assessment of existing buildings, including uncertainties associated with the material properties and the displacement capacity of the elements. In engineering practice, Monte Carlo simulations of the nonlinear sei ...

Response of irradiated nuclear fuel rods to quasi-static and dynamic loads

Andreas Pautz, Stefano Caruso, Efstathios Vlassopoulos

This paper presents the methodology applied for the experimental and numerical investigation of the mechanical response of spent nuclear fuel rods under static and dynamic loads. The experimental activities were conducted at the JRC Karlsruhe where a 3-poi ...

High density fiber postitioner system for massive spectroscopic surveys

Hannes Bleuler, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mohamed Bouri, Luzius Gregor Kronig, Philipp Hörler

We describe here a novel design of a fast high-density robotized fiber positioner system for massive spectroscopic surveys. The fiber positioners are compact, robust, and they can be coordinated, allowing for a high spatial density. Furthermore, the high a ...

A discussion on the paper "Role of porosity on the stiffness and stability of (001) surface of the nanogranular C-S-H gel"

Paul Bowen, Aslam Kunhi Mohamed

This paper is a discussion of a recent publication by Sekkal and coworkers, which investigated the elasticity, cohesion, and stability of the C-S-H (001) surface as a function of porosity using molecular dynamics simulations. In our discussion, we highligh ...

A Proposition for a Design Method of Service Systems

Blagovesta Hristova Kostova

This research is in the domain of service science and proposes a method for designing service systems. We consider three levels of design – individual, organizational, and implementation. The proposed design method links these three levels by explicit inpu ...
