Synthesizing Social Proximity Networks by Combining Subjective Surveys with Digital Traces

Marcel Salathé

Synthetic social contact networks play a central role in the study of epidemics and methods to control them. In this paper we propose a new methodology that combines subjective surveys and data obtained using digital devices to synthesize detailed social n ...

Development and Utilization of Structural Component Databases for Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering

Dimitrios Lignos

Abstract Performance-based earthquake engineering necessitates the development of reliable nonlinear analysis models that are able to simulate the behavior of structures from the onset of damage through collapse. These models provide engineering demand par ...

On the load-bearing efficiency of open-cell foams: A comparison of two architectures related to two processes

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll

Using a simple beam element, this study estimates the elastic stiffness of two isotropic open-cell foam architectures that approximate, respectively, the space between tightly packed fluid bubbles and that defined between densified solid particles, and fin ...

Benchmarking Image-Processing Algorithms for Biomicroscopy: Reference Datasets and Perspectives

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Hagay Kirshner, Stamatios Lefkimmiatis

As the field of bioimage informatics matures, the issue of the validation of image reconstruction algorithms and the definition of proper performance criteria becomes more pressing. In this work, we discuss benchmarking aspects of fluorescence microscopy q ...

Swiss Standards for Existing Structures

Thomas Vogel

In January 2011, the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA) published a series of standards for existing structures. The standard entitled 'existing structures-bases for examination and interventions' specifies the principles, the terminology and ...

High Aspect Ratio Microstructures

Jérôme Béguin

The goal of this project is to find a substrate and parameters that allow the realisation of hight aspect ratio microstructures. We tried three substrates (Ti, Cr and Si), two photoresist thicknesses (50 and 100 [m]), two focalisation points (8 and 12 [m]) ...

Formation Mechanisms and Structural Properties of Aluminium-Chromium Based Oxynitride Thin Films Synthesized by Physical Vapor Deposition

Hossein Najafi

Oxynitride thin films, a novel class of mixed anionic solid structures, have gained an intense interest during recent years related to the unique interplay of oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) with metals in the material structure. This matter can result in spec ...

Fatigue safety examination of a 150-year old riveted railway bridge

Eugen Brühwiler

Built in 1859, the railway bridge over the Rhine between Koblenz (Switzerland) and Waldshut (Germany) consists of a three span continuous riveted steel truss girder and an approach viaduct in natural stone masonry. Due to ever increasing traffic demands th ...

Structure and function of the transketolase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and comparison with the human enzyme

Stewart Cole, Florence Pojer, Elizabeth Fullam

The transketolase (TKT) enzyme in Mycobacterium tuberculosis represents a novel drug target for tuberculosis treatment and has low homology with the orthologous human enzyme. Here, we report on the structural and kinetic characterization of the transketola ...
