Distributed hydrostatic pressure measurement using phase OTDR in a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Li Zhang

Although distributed fiber-optic sensing of axial strain and temperature is a well-established technique, there are almost no demonstrations of distributed hydrostatic pressure sensing. The main obstacle for such measurements is the low sensitivity to pres ...

Non-invasive continuous monitoring of pro-oxidant effects of engineered nanoparticles on aquatic microorganisms

Olivier Martin, Paul Bowen, Christian Santschi, Volodymyr Koman, Nadia Rachel Von Moos

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are key drivers for the development of highly sophisticated new technologies. As all new attainments, the rapidly increasing used of ENMs raise concerns about their safety for the environment and humans. There is growing evi ...

Front-crawl stroke descriptors variability assessment for skill characterisation

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Grégoire Millet

The goal of this article is to character ise front-crawl swimming skill based on variability pattern of technique descriptors. Nine national level and nine recreational swimmers performed three 300 m trials in a 50 m outdoor pool, at 70%, 80% and 90% of th ...

Numerical modeling of heart valves using resistive Eulerian surfaces

Alfio Quarteroni, Aymen Laadhari

The goal of this work is the development and numerical implementation of a mathematical model describing the functioning of heart valves. To couple the pulsatile blood flow with a highly deformable thin structure (the valve's leaflets), a resistive Euleria ...

High bi-atrial organization in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation terminated within the left atrium

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot

Sustained atrial fibrillation (AF) is maintained by sites displaying high dominant frequency (DF). In patients (pts) with long-standing persistent AF (LS-pAF), their spatial distribution and the presence of a left-to-right atrial DF gradient remain poorly ...

A scalable electro-magnetic communication system for underwater swarms

Felix Stephan Schill

Scalable, reliable underwater communication is still a major challenge limiting the deployment of large-scale cooperative underwater systems, such as swarms of AUVs, which generally rely on frequent updates from surrounding units for control and mission ob ...
