Assessment of the hydromorphological effectiveness of sediment augmentation measures downstream of dams
This article presents assessment methods for the hydromorphological effectiveness of sediment augmentation measures downstream of dams. First, we describe different ways of quantifying hydromorphological effectiveness based on typical objectives of sedimen ...
CRC Press/Balkema2023Size-resolved inhalation intake fractions for particles released from human activities in residential indoor environments
Inhalation exposure to elevated concentrations of airborne particulate matter is a public health concern. Assessment of exposure can be enhanced through better knowledge of source-receptor relationships, which can be characterized through the inhalation in ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023On the assessment of high-quality images: advances on the JPEG AIC-3 activity
Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik, Michela Testolina
Recent advances in image compression have made it both possible and desirable for image quality to approach the visually lossless range. However, the most commonly used subjective visual quality assessment protocols, e.g. those reported in ITU-T Rec. BT.50 ...
2023Plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease: a field-test in a memory clinic
Background The key Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers are traditionally measured with techniques/exams that are either expensive (amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET) and tau-PET), invasive (cerebrospinal fluid A beta 42 and p-tau 181), or poorly sp ...
BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP2023Urban sustainability assessment in Geneva: Relevance of the local neighbourhood unit
Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, François Golay, Melissa Pang
The physical characteristics of an urban system are typically heterogeneously expressed, creating distinct neighbourhoods shaped by specific local features. Hence, spatially explicit expression of sustainability across the urban system is expected and shou ...
Sage2022Towards JPEG AIC part 3: visual quality assessment of high to visually lossless image coding
Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik, Michela Testolina
Due to the increasing number of pictures captured and stored every day by and on digital devices, lossy image compression has become inevitable to limit the needed storage requirement. As a consequence, these compression methods might introduce some visual ...
SPIE2022A risk-risk assessment framework for solar radiation modification
Concern about the increasingly high-probability, high-impact risks posed by global warming is driving the exploration of new techniques to artificially cool the planet through an approach known as solar radiation modification (SRM). Would the world be bett ...
