Consequence Functions for Seismic Risk Assessment
(2020)The report looks into the state-of-the-art in consequence modelling for the different loss categories, reviews the existing methodologies for deriving them, and discusses their implications on risk estimates from social, insurance, engineering, and catastrophe modelers’ perspectives. As such, the report first provide background on the vulnerability analysis stage because its subcomponents (including consequence modelling) cannot be ...Report -

Searching for long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider
(2020)Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle PhysicsParticles beyond the Standard Model (SM) can generically have lifetimes that are long compared to SM particles at the weak scale. When produced at experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, these long-lived particles (LLPs) can decay far from the interaction vertex of the primary proton–proton collision. Such LLP signatures are distinct from those of promptly decaying particles that are targeted by the majority of searches ...Report -

Towards an Inclusive Future in AI
(2019)In response to the accelerating potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform our lives, various governments, multilateral bodies, and other organizations have produced high-level principles and guidelines for the ethical use of AI in recent years. Despite the staggering number of such documents (over 90 by October 2019), there appears to be a relatively high degree of convergence on the level of principles. «Inclusiveness» is ...Report -
Schlussbericht des Projekts Nitrate leaching risk mapping (NitLeach II)
(2019)Auswaschung von Stickstoff (N) aus Waldflächen mit dem Sickerwasser ist in der Schweiz unter anderem im Zusammenhang mit der Gewinnung von Trinkwasser aus Grundwasservorkommen relevant. In diesem Projekt wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen der N-Auswaschung und Indikatoren für die Stickstoffsättigung anhand von Messungen auf 70 Waldflächen in der Schweiz, Deutschland, Frankreich, Belgien Italien und Irland statistisch untersucht. Wichtigste ...Report
