Observation of gravity erosion in the field with strong sunshine and wind poses a challenge. Here, a novel topography meter together with a movable tent addresses the challenge. With the topography meter, a 3D geometric shape of the target surface can be digitally reconstructed. Before the commencement of a test, the laser generator position and the camera sightline should be adjusted with a si...

The Bamiyan project of the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry, ETH Zurich, which started in July 2001, consists in the terrain modeling of the area around and including the valley of Bamiyan, Afghanistan, the 3D reconstruction of the two lost Buddha statues, their actual empty niches, the rock cliff with the Buddhist monks’ caves and the documentation of the UNESCO cultural heritage site w...

We present a method called "Lock Release Lithography (LRL)" that utilizes a combination of channel topography, mask design, and pressure-induced channel deformation to form and release particles in a cycled fashion. This technique provides a means for the high-throughput production of particles with complex 3D morphologies and composite particles with spatially configurable chemistries. In this...

Introduction I. 3D organization of the chromatin in the interphase nucleus 1. Relationship of the chromatin with the nucleus structures 2. Notion of chromosomal territories 3. Topography of the territories 4. Interface between neighbor territories 5. Organization model of the chromatin in the interphase nucleus II. Relative evolution of the territories when compared to each other during the suc...

A novel diode-checkerboard test structure (DCTS) is presented to determine open circuit defects and short circuit defects as well as to investigate the 3D-influence of underlying topography. The arrangement of the DCTS in a standard boundary pad frame and the digitally measuring procedure evaluate a fast and effective (efficient) online process characterization. The precise defect detection and...
