Calibration of ground surface albedo models

Christophe Ballif, Pierre-Jean Alet, Arttu Matias Tuomiranta

The emergence of bifacial photovoltaics as a serious option for large-scale power generation makes the accuracy of the in-situ estimation of ground surface albedo increasingly critical. Recent studies have evaluated the performance of different models but ...

Impacts of climate change on Swiss alluvial aquifers - A quantitative forecast focused on natural and artificial groundwater recharge by surface water infiltration

Sebastiano Piccolroaz, Carl Love Mikael Råman Vinnå

The sensitivity of future groundwater recharge and temperature development was investigated for three alluvial aquifers in the urban agglomeration of the city of Basel, Switzerland. For selected climate projections groundwater recharge and the associated t ...

Towards understanding the characteristics of new particle formation in the Eastern Mediterranean

Lubna Dada

To quantify the contribution of new particle formation (NPF) to ultrafine particle number and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) budgets, one has to understand the mechanisms that govern NPF in different environments and its temporal extent. Here, we study NP ...

Using flow cytometry and light-induced fluorescence to characterize the variability and characteristics of bioaerosols in springtime in Metro Atlanta, Georgia

Athanasios Nenes

The abundance and speciation of primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP) is important for understanding their impacts on human health, cloud formation, and ecosystems. Towards this, we have developed a protocol for quantifying PBAP collected from large ...

Individual changes in the bicycle community workshops, A typology from a new agent of socialization

Alexandre André Robert Rigal

Social change is at the center of solutions to the problems of the environment. Yet social change is sometimes elusively described. Through empirical inquiries guided by socialization theories, the present article aims to identify different types of indivi ...

How much can we save? Impact of different emission scenarios on future snow cover in the Alps

Michael Lehning, Sebastian Schlögl, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay

This study focuses on an assessment of the future snow depth for two larger Alpine catchments. Automatic weather station data from two diverse regions in the Swiss Alps have been used as input for the Alpine3D surface process model to compute the snow cove ...

Long-Term Stable Control of Motor-Imagery BCI by a Locked-in User Through Adaptive Assistance

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Sareh Saeedi

Performance variation is one of the main challenges that BCIs are confronted with, when being used over extended periods of time. Shared control techniques could partially cope with such a problem. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy of shared control app ...

Duration models for activity recognition and prediction in buildings using Hidden Markov Models

Jean Hennebert, Nikolaos Zarkadis

Activity recognition and prediction in buildings can have multiple positive effects in buildings: improve elderly monitoring, detect intrusions, maximize energy savings and optimize occupant comfort. In this paper we apply human activity recognition by usi ...

Long-term in-situ oxidation of biogenic uraninite in an alluvial aquifer: impact of dissolved oxygen and calcium

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Harish Veeramani, Daniel Scott Alessi

Oxidative dissolution controls uranium release to (sub)oxic pore waters from biogenic uraninite produced by natural or engineered processes, such as bioremediation Laboratory studies show that uraninite dissolution is profoundly influenced by dissolved oxy ...

Lifestyle Evaluation Using Wearable Technologies: Opportunities for Stroke Patients

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Fabien Massé

Stroke is the leading cause of disabilities in the western world and may cause severe motor impairments. In the current clinical practice, progress during physical rehabilitation is assessed by a therapist for specific motor functions and through questionn ...

Essays in Financial Economics

Jan Peter Kulak

In the first chapter of this thesis, I empirically show that the time delay firms face in raising outside capital affects cash holdings. I exploit the 2005 US Securities Offering Reform (the Reform) as a quasi-natural experiment. For a subset of large publ ...

Time course of flow-induced adaptation of carotid artery biomechanical properties, structure and zero-stress state in the arteriovenous shunt

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Numerous studies have provided evidence of diameter adaptation secondary to flow-overload. but with ambiguous findings vis a vis other morphological parameters and information on the biomechanical aspects of arterial adaptation is rather incomplete. We exa ...

Subtypes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and their differing responses to therapy

Douglas Hanahan, Anguraj Sadanandam

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a lethal disease. Overall survival is typically 6 months from diagnosis(1). Numerous phase 3 trials of agents effective in other malignancies have failed to benefit unselected PDA populations, although patients do ...

Multimodel ensemble simulations of tropospheric NO2 compared with GOME retrievals for the year 2000

Isabelle Bey, Jérôme Drevet

We present a systematic comparison of tropospheric NO2 from 17 global atmospheric chemistry models with three state-of-the-art retrievals from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) for the year 2000. The models used constant anthropogenic emissions ...
