Multi-time integration approach for combined pulp and ammonia production and seasonal CO2 management

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos

In this work, the gasification of the black liquor is proposed as an alternative ammonia production route. Due to the seasonal variation of the energy prices, a multi-time integration approach that combines different technologies and energy inputs is used ...

Processing load, and not stimulus evidence, determines the duration of unconscious visual feature integration

Michael Herzog, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer, Lukas Vogelsang

Integration across space and time is essential for the analysis of motion, low contrast, and many more stimuli. A crucial question is what determines the duration of integration. Based on classical models of decision-making, one might expect that integrati ...

From finger animation to full-body embodiment of avatars with different morphologies and proportions

Mathias Guy Delahaye

VR (Virtual Reality) is a real-time simulation that creates the subjective illusion of being in a virtual world. This thesis explores how integrating the user's body and fingers can be achieved and beneficial for the user to experience VR. At the advent of ...

La mécanique sociale des mobilités. Enquête sur les inégalités de déplacements quotidiens dans trois espaces frontaliers européens

Alexis Gumy

At the crossroads of transportation engineering and urban sociology, the dissertation deciphers the interactions between daily mobility and social inequalities, what I call the "social mechanics of mobility". To do so, I draw on a twofold survey, both quan ...

Designing Online Multiplayer Games with Haptically and Virtually Linked Tangible Robots to Enhance Social Interaction in Therapy

Pierre Dillenbourg, Arzu Güneysu Özgür, Hala Khodr, Mehdi Akeddar

The social aspects of therapy and training are important for patients to avoid social isolation and must be considered when designing a platform, especially for home-based rehabilitation. We proposed an online version of the previously proposed tangible Pa ...

The Rebound Effects from Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvements

Michel Zimmermann

In energy policy, energy efficiency constitutes a central element in reducing domestic and, specifically, industrial en-ergy use. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of energy efficiency improvements in achieving its targets is known to be limited by rebound ...

Lidar point-to-point correspondences for rigorous registration of kinematic scanning in dynamic networks

Jan Skaloud, Davide Antonio Cucci, Aurélien Arnaud Brun

With the objective of improving the registration of lidar point clouds produced by kinematic scanning systems, we propose a novel trajectory adjustment procedure that leverages on the automated extraction of selected reliable 3D point–to–point corresponden ...

Spatial and temporal integration of visual features

Oh-Hyeon Choung

Visual processing can be seen as the integration and segmentation of features. Objects are composed of contours, integrated into shapes and segmented from other contours. Information also needs to be integrated to solve the ill-posed problems of vision. Fo ...

New Methods for the Integrative Dynamic Modeling of Biomolecular Structures

Sylvain Träger

The true understanding of most cellular functions is only really achievable through the structural determination of their underlying macromolecular assemblies. However, their size, large number of individual components and metastable states make their eluc ...

Fusion of Photo with Airborne Laser Scanning

Jan Skaloud, Emmanuel Pierre Quentin Clédat

Photogrammetry and Laser-Scanning are usually considered as complementary. Integration of these two observation methods has the potential to blend their individual advantages. The resulting benefit is likely to be higher in drone airborne mapping, which pa ...

Feature integration within discrete time windows

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

Sensory information must be integrated over time to perceive, for example, motion and melodies. Here, to study temporal integration, we used the sequential metacontrast paradigm in which two expanding streams of lines are presented. When a line in one stre ...

The Effect of European Integration on Swiss Energy Policy and Governance

Matthias Finger, Paul Adrianus Van Baal

The unique “Swiss way” of association with the European Union (EU) has received increasing attention in light of recent events such as Brexit as it is based on sectoral agreements without an overarching institutional framework. As such, Europeanization of ...
