At what spatial scale does natural selection operate? Using multiscale frameworks to calibrate the effects of environmental factors across landscape continuums

Patterns in nature arise from processes interacting across a continuum of spatial scales, where new relationships emerge at each level of investigation. These patterns are nested features encompassing fine-scale local patterns, such as topography and geolo ...

Snowfall deposition in mountainous terrain: a statistical downscaling scheme from high-resolution model data on simulated topographies

Michael Lehning

One of the primary causes of non-uniform snowfall deposition on the ground in mountainous regions is the preferential deposition of snow, which results from the interaction of near-surface winds with topography and snow particles. However, producing high-r ...

Topologically Better Delineation of Curvilinear Structures

Doruk Oner

Curvilinear structures are frequently observed in a variety of domains and are essential for comprehending neural circuits, detecting fractures in materials, and determining road and irrigation canal networks. It can be costly and time-consuming to manuall ...

A Robust Framework for Generating Adsorption Isotherms to Screen Materials for Carbon Capture

Berend Smit, Elias Moubarak, Susana Garcia Lopez, Seyedmohamad Moosavi

To rank the performanceof materials for a given carbon captureprocess, we rely on pure component isotherms from which we predictthe mixture isotherms. For screening a large number of materials,we also increasingly rely on isotherms predicted from molecular ...

SODIS potential: A novel parameter to assess the suitability of solar water disinfection worldwide

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Sofia Samoili, Giulio Farinelli

This paper studies the worldwide applicability of solar water disinfection (SODIS) technology through a novel parameter: the SODIS potential. This parameter is defined as the inverse ratio between the required exposure time to achieve a four log disinfecti ...

Generation and application of river network analogues for use in ecology and evolution

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro, Reinhard Furrer, Florian Altermatt

Several key processes in freshwater ecology are governed by the connectivity inherent to dendritic river networks. These have extensively been analyzed from a geomorphological and hydrological viewpoint, yet structures classically used in ecological modeli ...

A nonparametric method for producing isolines of bivariate exceedance probabilities

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud

We present a method for drawing isolines indicating regions of equal joint exceedance probability for bivariate data. The method relies on bivariate regular variation, a dependence framework widely used for extremes. The method we utilize for characterizin ...

Radar-rain gauge merging and discharge data assimilation for flood forecasting in Alpine catchments

Alain Tommy Foehn

Floods are responsible for one third of the economic losses induced by natural hazards throughout the world. To better protect the population and infrastructures, flood forecasting systems make us of weather forecasts to foresee floods several days in adva ...

Lighting simulation for External Venetian blinds based on BTDF and HDR sky luminance monitoring

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Yujie Wu

The precise daylighting simulation in buildings can potentially contribute to designers’ and occupants’ smart utilization of it. The traditional method of employing sky models was indicated with noticeable errors in transient lighting simulation for comple ...

3D Box Proposals from a Single Monocular Image of an Indoor Scene

Mathieu Salzmann, Wei Zhuo

Modern object detection methods typically rely on bounding box proposals as input. While initially popularized in the 2D case, this idea has received increasing attention for 3D bounding boxes. Nevertheless, existing 3D box proposal techniques all assume h ...
