Behaviour of an engineered clay barrier for a nuclear waste isolation system

In a few years, safe and definitive solutions should be ready to manage large quantities of high-level radioactive waste. Deep geological repository involving a multibarrier system constitutes one of the most promising options to isolate such waste from th ...

Nonlinear storage-discharge relations and catchment streamflow regimes

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

Nonlinear storage-discharge relations may explain important hydrologic features frequently observed under a variety of environmental conditions. In this paper the catchment dynamic storage problem is addressed by incorporating nonlinear storage-discharge r ...

How Good are Neuron Models?

Wulfram Gerstner, Richard Naud

Opinions strongly diverge on what constitutes a good model of a neuron. Two lines of thought on this have coexisted for a long time: detailed biophysical models (of the style proposed in 1952 by the physiologists Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley) that descri ...

Process modeling and integration of fuel ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass based on double acid hydrolysis

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Martin Gassner, Zoé Périn-Levasseur, Suping Zhang

Lignocellulosic biomass is considered as one of the most promising feedstocks for producing fuel ethanol because of its global availability and environmental benefits of its use. In this paper, the process of lignocellulosic ethanol production was investig ...

Effect of environmental conditions and skeletal ultrastructure on the Li isotopic composition of scleractinian corals

Anders Meibom

The lithium isotope compositions (Li-7/Li-6) and Li/Ca ratios of shallow-water and deep-sea corals (Porites lutea, Cladocora caespitosa, Lophelia pertusa and Desmophyllum cristagalli) were measured using a Cameca ims 1270 ion microprobe. The two C. caespit ...

Wireless Sensor Networks for Environmental Monitoring: The SensorScope Experience

Martin Vetterli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, François Ingelrest

While wireless sensor networks have been extensively studied in the past few years, most results are of theoretical nature and were obtained outside of a practical context. This can be problematic for real applications, especially in the area of environmen ...

On the behaviour and adaptation of office occupants

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

During the warm summer of 2006 a comprehensive longitudinal field survey of the adaptive actions of occupants, their thermal satisfaction and the coincident environmental conditions was conducted in eight Swiss office buildings. We have applied logistic re ...

Optimal process design for thermochemical production of fuels from biomass

François Maréchal, Martin Gassner

Transport applications are a major global source of greenhouse gas emissions and the production of fuels that are renewable and neutral in CO2 is an important issue in chemical process research and development. Contrary to the biological routes that produc ...

Impact of abundance weighting on the response of seed traits to climate and land use

Jiri Dolezal, Aurélie Thébault

1.Many studies have identified relationships between plant reproductive behaviour and environmental conditions. However, they have all been based on cross-species analysis and take no account of the relative abundance of species with vegetation. 2.Using tw ...

Un rôle pour la science de l'information géographique en écologie moléculaire La détection de régions du génome soumises à la sélection naturelle

Stéphane Joost, Régis Caloz, Pierre Taberlet

We introduce a new method to detect signatures of natural selection in the genome based on the application of spatial analysis, with the contribution of Geographical Information Systems, environmental variables, molecular data, and multiple univariate logi ...
