Flood of 23 November 2019 on the French Riviera: a comparison of discharges estimated by image analysis and hydrological modelling

Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau, Etienne Robert

The short and heavy rainfall events observed on the French Riviera often lead to flash floods on coastal catchments: during the flood of 2 October 2015, a peak discharge between 185 and 295 m(3)/s was estimated on the Brague at Biot at 8:00 PM, whereas the ...

Gait speed in clinical and daily living assessments in Parkinson’s disease patients: performance versus capacity

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Arash Atrsaei, Benoît Mariani

Gait speed often referred as the sixth vital sign is the most powerful biomarker of mobility. While a clinical setting allows the estimation of gait speed under controlled conditions that present functional capacity, gait speed in real-life conditions prov ...

Snow hydrology signatures for model identification within a limits-of-acceptability approach

Bettina Schaefli

Discharge simulation from snow-dominated catchments seems to be an easy task. Any spatially explicit precipitation-runoff model coupled to a temperature-index snow model generally yields simulations that mimic well the observed daily discharges. The robust ...

Quantum phase transitions in low-dimensional weakly interacting disordered Bose gases

Joseph Saliba

In this thesis, we study the quantum phase transition triggered by an external random po- tential in ultra-cold low-dimensional weakly-interacting Bose gases at zero temperature. In one-dimensional systems, the quantum phases are characterized by the decay ...

A radar-based regional extreme rainfall analysis to derive the thresholds for a novel automatic alert system in Switzerland

Alexis Berne, Luca Panziera, Marco Gabella, Urs Martin Germann

This paper presents a regional extreme rainfall analysis based on 10 years of radar data for the 159 regions adopted for official natural hazard warnings in Switzerland. Moreover, a nowcasting tool aimed at issuing heavy precipitation regional alerts is in ...

Threshold modeling of extreme spatial rainfall

Anthony Christopher Davison, Raphaël Mutzner, Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud

We propose an approach to spatial modeling of extreme rainfall, based on max-stable processes fitted using partial duration series and a censored threshold likelihood function. The resulting models are coherent with classical extreme-value theory and allow ...

Fusing Loop Detector and Probe Vehicle Data to Estimate Travel Time Statistics on Signalized Urban Networks

André-Gilles Dumont, Ashish Bhaskar, Edward Chung

This article presents a methodology that integrates cumulative plots with probe vehicle data for estimation of travel time statistics (average, quartile) on urban networks. The integration reduces relative deviation among the cumulative plots so that the c ...

Histogram Analysis of the Microvasculature of Intracerebral Human and Murine Glioma Xenografts

Nathalie Just

The purpose of this study is to examine the usefulness of histogram analysis combined with vessel size index (VSI) magnetic resonance imaging for the specific characterization of brain tumor microvasculature in a panel of six volume-matched glioma xenograf ...

Estimation of displacement derivatives in digital holographic interferometry using a two-dimensional space-frequency distribution

Pramod Rastogi, Sai Siva Gorthi, Rajshekhar Gannavarpu

The paper introduces a two-dimensional space-frequency distribution based method to directly obtain the unwrapped estimate of the phase derivative which corresponds to strain in digital holographic interferometry. In the proposed method, a two-dimensional ...

Estimation of travel time on urban networks with midlink sources and sinks

André-Gilles Dumont, Ashish Bhaskar, Edward Chung

This paper presents a methodology for estimation of average travel time on signalized urban networks by integrating cumulative plots and probe data. This integration aims to reduce the relative deviations in the cumulative plots due to midlink sources and ...
