Modelling Viral Reassortment in Structured Populations
(2019)Migration dynamics of viral sub-populations are usually analysed by applying the structured coalescent theory to genetic sequence data. This is, however, not trivial for reassorting viruses that have segmented genomes. Recently, a coalescent with reassortment approach was developed, allowing to use the full segmented genome for phylodynamic analysis. We combine the two techniques into the structured coalescent with reassortment model ...Master Thesis -
The Impact of Self-consumption Regulation on Individual and Community Solar PV Adoption in Switzerland: an Agent-Based Model
(2019)Historically, Swiss solar PV adoption has been slow but Switzerland's Energy Strategy 2050 requires electricity production from renewables to increase 4.5 times by 2035 compared to 2017. The new Energy Act in Switzerland came into force in January 2018 with investment subsidies for practically all PV system sizes and very encouraging provisions for community solar PV systems – clearer financial and legal structures under the `Zusammenschluss ...Master Thesis -
Animierte Pointcloud-Visualisierungen von peri-urbanen Räumen
(2019)Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes GLOBESCAPE werden Visualisierungen von peri-urbanen Räumen mittels Punktwolkentechnologie, kombiniert mit Emotionsmessungen erprobt. Um den landschaftlichen Massstab solcher Orte in Laborexperimenten für Versuchspersonen erfahrbar zu machen, soll ein animierter Flug in die virtuellen Umgebungen gezeigt werden. Die Einflüsse eines solchen visuellen Reizes auf die emotionale Reaktion der Probandinnen und ...Master Thesis -
Assessing Climate Change Impacts on the Vegetation of the Canton of Zurich
(2019)Climate on our planet is changing. The canton of Zurich, in following the global trend, is expected to face warmer temperatures throughout the year and dryer summers in most parts of the canton. These climatic changes have an effect upon ecosystems and biodiversity, and pose major challenges for many species. As a consequence, the canton of Zurich has developed a series of action plans to address the risk of biodiversity loss. This thesis ...Master Thesis -

CMS ECAL upgrade for higher luminosity: Cooling test of an ECAL supermodule for future operation at 9°C and Evaluation and radiation testing of power distribution system components
(2019)A method was devised to measure cooling-induced stress in the mechanical structure of CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) barrel ECAL (electromagnetic calorimeter) supermodules. Specifically, the stress amount and distribution occurring consequent to cooling to the new design specification for the HL-LHC (High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider) was analyzed. The results were then put into context by comparison with supermodule lifting, an ...Master Thesis -
A Lagrangian Analysis of the Dynamical and Thermodynamic Drivers of Greenland Warm Events during 1979-2017
(2019)The acceleration of mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) since the late 1990s was primarily driven by increased surface melt, partly concentrated in single extreme melt events. A textbook example was observed around 12 July 2012 (EV69), when almost the entire GrIS was melting, including Summit Station at 3216 m in the dry inland plateau. The melt event coincided with strong meridional air mass transport towards the GrIS followed ...Master Thesis -
