Blow-up, partial regularity and turbulence in incompressible fluid dynamics

Weak solutions arise naturally in the study of the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations both from an abstract regularity/blow-up perspective and from physical theories of turbulence. This thesis studies the structure and size of singular set of such weak solu ...

Microscopic Origin of Nonlocal Rheology in Dense Granular Materials

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume

We study the microscopic origin of nonlocality in dense granular media. Discrete element simulations reveal that macroscopic shear results from a balance between microscopic elementary rearrangements occurring in opposite directions. The effective macrosco ...

Two degree of freedom oscillator system

Simon Nessim Henein, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan, Billy Nussbaumer

Oscillator system (1) comprising:- a substantially planar frame (3);- a first sub-oscillator (5), a second sub-oscillator (7), a third sub-oscillator (9), and a fourth sub-oscillator (11), each sub-oscillator (5, 7, 9, 11) comprising a substantially rigid ...

Sexual selection shapes development and maturation rates in Drosophila

Laurent Keller, Brian Dennis Hollis

Explanations for the evolution of delayed maturity usually invoke trade-offs mediated by growth, but processes of reproductive maturation continue long after growth has ceased. Here, we tested whether sexual selection shapes the rate of posteclosion matura ...

Supernumerary Robotic Arm for Three-Handed Surgical Application: Behavioral Study and Design of Human-Machine Interface

Elahe Abdi

In surgical to industrial manipulation, the operator needs assistance for tasks requiring more than two hands. Teamwork may be the source of errors and inefficiency, especially if the assistant is a novice or unfamiliar with the main operator. The need for ...

Dynamics of Photocarrier Separation in MAPbI3 Perovskite Multigrain Films under a Quasistatic Electric Field

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Joël Teuscher, Arun Aby Paraecattil, Jelissa Risse, Vytenis Pranculis

Applying time-resolved electroabsorption spectroscopy for the first time to methylammonium lead triiodide perovskite (MAPbI3) thin films under reverse bias, we monitored optically the ultrafast evolution of the local counter-electric field produced by the ...

Hydrological Processes in a High Alpine Watershed

Raphaël Mutzner

Alpine hydrology is particularly challenging due to the complexity of mountainous terrain and the spatial and temporal variability of meteorological parameters such as precipitation, temperature and evaporation. Yet improving our understanding of hydrologi ...

A Bimodal Sound Source Model for Vehicle Tracking in Traffic Monitoring

Jean-Marc Odobez, Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Patrick Marmaroli

The paper addresses road traffic monitoring using a compact microphone array. More precisely, estimation of both speed and wheelbase distance of detected vehicles is performed. The detection algorithm is based on the comparison between theoretical and meas ...

Magnetic field sensor measuring a direction of a magnetic field in a plane and current sensor

Radivoje Popovic, Mirjana Banjevic

A magnetic field sensor for measuring a direction of a magnetic field in a plane comprises two sensing structures (1A 1B) that can be operated as a rotating Hall element. The two Hall elements are rotated in discrete steps in opposite directions. Such a ma ...

Temporally Consistent Layer Depth Ordering Via Pixel Voting For Pseudo 3D Representation

Engin Türetken

A new region-based depth ordering algorithm is proposed based on the segmented motion layers with affine motion models. Starting from an initial set of layers that are independently extracted for each frame of an input sequence, relative depth order of eve ...
