Painting Taylor vortices with cellulose nanocrystals: Suspension flow supercritical spectral dynamics

We study the flow stability and spatiotemporal spectral dynamics of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspensions in a custom Taylor-Couette flow cell using the intrinsic shear induced birefringence and liquid crystalline properties of CNC suspensions for flow v ...

Optimizing Sales Forecasting, Inventory, Pricing and Sourcing Decisions

Yara Kayyali El Alem

In this thesis we address various factors that contribute both theoretically and practically to mitigating supply demand mismatches. The thesis is composed of three chapters, where each chapter is an independent scientific paper. In the first paper, we dev ...

A system design for elastically scaling transaction processing engines in virtualized servers

Anastasia Ailamaki, Raja Appuswamy, Angelos Christos Anadiotis, Hillel Avni

Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) deployments are migrating from on-premise to cloud settings in order to exploit the elasticity of cloud infrastructure which allows them to adapt to workload variations. However, cloud adaptation comes at the cost of re ...

On the price elasticity of demand for trademarks

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

One underexplored factor directly affecting firms' use of trademarks relates to the fees associated with obtaining a mark. This paper provides econometric estimates of the fee elasticity of demand for trademark applications. Using a panel of monthly intern ...

The Reduced Immersed Method for Real-Time Fluid-Elastic Solid Interaction and Contact Simulation

Christopher Brandt

We introduce the Reduced Immersed Method (RIM) for the real-time simulation of two-way coupled incompressible fluids and elastic solids and the interaction of multiple deformables with (self-)collisions. Our framework is based on a novel discretization of ...

Scanning Probe Microscopy Characterization of Organic Self-Assembled Monolayers

Evangelia-Nefeli Athanasopoulou

As technology advances, surface coatings become more and more important to assure materials performances. In recent years, molecular coatings have found larger acceptance and uses. Among them, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are attractive because they ar ...

Dealing with Correlations in Discrete Choice Models

Anna Fernández Antolín

The focus of this thesis is to develop methods to address research challenges related to correlation patterns in discrete choice models. In the context of correlations within alternatives, we extend the novel methodology of the multiple indicator solution ...

A discussion on the paper "Role of porosity on the stiffness and stability of (001) surface of the nanogranular C-S-H gel"

Paul Bowen, Aslam Kunhi Mohamed

This paper is a discussion of a recent publication by Sekkal and coworkers, which investigated the elasticity, cohesion, and stability of the C-S-H (001) surface as a function of porosity using molecular dynamics simulations. In our discussion, we highligh ...

Elastic Program Transformations : Automatically Optimizing the Reliability/Performance Trade-off in Systems Software

Jonas Benedict Wagner

Performance and reliability are important yet conflicting properties of systems software. Software today often crashes, has security vulnerabilities and data loss, while many techniques that could address such issues remain unused due to performance concer ...

Resonances of Newtonian fluids in elastomeric microtubes

We analyze the dynamic behavior of Newtonian fluids in elastic tubes subject to pulsatile pressure gradients and show that the interplay between the viscosity of the fluid, the elasticity of the wall, and the characteristic size of the confining media give ...

A test of inventory models with permissible delay in payment

Ralf Seifert, Olov Isaksson, Daniel Seifert

Contrary to the long-standing view in the finance literature that firms should maximise payment delays, research in operations management suggests that long payment delays can be suboptimal. In this study, we reconcile these two views by applying a seconda ...

Behaviorally Driven Train Timetable Design

Tomas Robenek

The focus of this thesis is to include the passengers and their behavior inside the train timetable design. This is done through three main objectives: timetable design based on passenger satisfaction, exploitation of hybrid cyclicity and choice based reve ...

Location choice with longitudinal WiFi data

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Antonin Danalet, Loïc Tinguely

Location-aware data collection technologies provide new insights about location choices. Only a few dynamic models of location choice exist in scientific literature. To our knowledge, none of them correct for serial correlation. In this paper, we model cho ...

Decentralizing the Cloud: How Can Small Data Centers Cooperate?

Karl Aberer, Rameez Rahman, Hao Zhuang

Cloud computing has become pervasive due to attractive features such as on-demand resource provisioning and elasticity. Most cloud providers are centralized entities that employ massive data centers. However, in recent times, due to increasing concerns abo ...

Computing upper and lower bounds for linear outputs of elasticity by the smoothed finite element method

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Toni Mikael Lassila

Verification of the computation of local quantities of interest, e.g. the displacements at a point, the stresses in a local area and the stress intensity factors at crack tips, plays an important role in improving the structural design for safety. In this ...

Collaborative working capital management in supply networks

Daniel Seifert

Supply chain management is widely accepted as a means for companies to gain competitive advantage. While product and information flows have been widely covered in the literature, relatively little attention has been paid to the management of a supply chain ...

Gene-mediated Restoration of Normal Myofiber Elasticity in Dystrophic Muscles

Andrzej Kulik, Nicolas Mermod, Stefania Puttini, Damien Saugy

Dystrophin mediates a physical link between the cytoskeleton of muscle fibers and the extracellular matrix, and its absence leads to muscle degeneration and dystrophy. In this article, we show that the lack of dystrophin affects the elasticity of individua ...
