Electromagnetic Forces and Torques: From Dielectrophoresis to Optical Tweezers

Electromagnetic forces and torques enable many key technologies, including optical tweezers or dielectrophoresis. Interestingly, both techniques rely on the same physical process: the interaction of an oscillating electric field with a particle of matter. ...

A system design for elastically scaling transaction processing engines in virtualized servers

Anastasia Ailamaki, Angelos Christos Anadiotis, Raja Appuswamy, Hillel Avni

Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) deployments are migrating from on-premise to cloud settings in order to exploit the elasticity of cloud infrastructure which allows them to adapt to workload variations. However, cloud adaptation comes at the cost of re ...

Model-based economic analysis of electrification in railway - Understanding the impact of track, operations, and uncertainties

Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic, Florian Mueller

This paper presents results on the impact of different tracks on the economic viability of track electrification for regional railway. Since regional railway still heavily relies on pollutive diesel propulsion systems, track electrification can be key to r ...

The Advent of Practice Theories in Research on Sustainable Consumption: Past, Current and Future Directions of the Field

Franziska Meinherz, Rafael Laurenti

The application of practice theories in the domain of sustainability research in consumer studies is increasingly advocated based on the premise that this allows to analyse consumption as a social phenomenon. Consequently, the applications of social practi ...

Numerical approach to the parallel gradient operator in tokamak scrape-off layer turbulence simulations and application to the GBS code

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Annamaria Mosetto

This paper presents two discretisation schemes for the parallel gradient operator used in scrape-off layer plasma turbulence simulations. First, a simple model describing the propagation of electrostatic shear-Alfven waves, and retaining the key elements o ...

Modeling the hydrologic response of snow-dominated Alpine catchments: the role of sunlight exposure

Pierfrancesco Da Ronco

This work investigated how important the explicit modeling of sunlight exposure (aspect, slope) is for discharge simulation in a high alpine catchment. The used spatially-explicit hydrological model includes a simple snow accumulation and melt routine (bas ...

On inconsistent entities. A reply to Colyvan

Francesco Piazza

In a recent article M. Colyvan has argued that Quinean forms of scientific realism are faced with an unexpected upshot. Realism concerning a given class of entities, along with this route to realism, can be vindicated by running an indispensability argumen ...

Calculation of adhesive and cohesive fracture toughness of a thin brittle coating on a polymer substrate

Yves Leterrier

Determination of fracture parameters for brittle coatings with a sub-micron thickness is not a straightforward task. Since direct evaluation through testing with for instance a double cantilever beam or compact tension tests is hardly applicable due to the ...

RISK-BASED REPLACEMENT STRATEGIES FOR REDUNDANT DETERIORATING REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPE NETWORKS

Bryan Adey

This paper gives an example of how predictive models of the deterioration of reinforced concrete pipes and the consequences of failure can be used to develop risk-based replacement strategies for redundant reinforced concrete pipe networks. It also shows h ...
