Abstract:
Die Situation der Kunstbibliotheken in der Schweiz ist durch verschiedene historische Faktoren geprägt. Die Kulturhoheit der verschiedenen Kantonsrepubliken und die vier Landessprachen haben in der Vergangenheit die Entwicklung einer einheitlichen Bibliothekslandschaft erschwert. Ebenso wenig mündete die von großen Persönlichkeiten geprägte Entwicklung der Kunstwissenschaft und des Museumswesens in eine vielfältige Landschaft von Kunstbibliotheken. Die drei Zentren für Kunstbibliotheken sind Basel, Zürich und Genf. Eine Kunstbibliothek für die italienischsprachige Schweiz, wie u.a. in einem kürzlich enstandenen Grundlagenbericht für Kunstgeschichte empfohlen wird, ist immer noch ein Desiderat.The situation of Swiss art libraries is determined by different historic developments. The different Swiss cantons, with their sovereignty in cultural matters, and the four official languages of the country, have impeded the development of a homogeneous libraries’ scene. The development of art libraries has been constrained by the slow and erratic growth of art history and museology. In Switzerland there are three centres for art libraries: Basle and Zurich, and Geneva, in French-speaking Switzerland. An art library for Italian-speaking Switzerland - as once again recommended in a recently published Grundlagenbericht für Kunstgeschichte (= Basic Report for Art History) - is still desired.

Abstract:
There are about fifty Magdalenian sites known in Switzerland. Most of these sites were discovered and excavated at the end of the 19th and in the first half of the 20th century. Consequently, it is not always possible today to establish clear research contexts and dating is often based on typo-chronological statements. The Swiss Magdalenian portable art can be divided into two main groups: engravings and figurative sculptures. Engravings mostly appear on reindeer antlers, bones, and rarely on stone or jet. They are more common than figurative sculptures. The majority of engravings are on everyday objects such as perforated batons and projectile points. They are mainly signs and other ornamental motifs. In addition, there are also figurative subjects such as animals and a animal-human representation. The term “figurative sculptures” refers to partially sculptured objects, such as decorated spear thrower ends and stylized female figurines. With the exception of a musk ox head no other evident animal sculptures have been found in Switzerland. Some of the Magdalenian portable art objects found in Switzerland show supra-regional parallels with finds from other parts of Europe. The aim of this article is to present the most important Swiss finds in a broader European geographical context.

Abstract:
Western museums hold numerous Japanese objects, typically gathered by collectors during travels in Japan and then donated to local institutions. This simple scenario is by no means always the case, as can be seen with the numerous Japanese bronze bells in Swiss museum collections. The story of how the bells changed from holding significant functions within Japanese monastic and secular communities to being sold for their materiality and sheer weight as they travel across the globe tells a complex story of how objects change in meaning as they travel. As the bells were eventually relegated to museum archives, their stories help to shed light on global transfers, interculturality, and cultural misunderstandings, as they narrowly escape destruction. Their stories show the futility of claiming global understanding of art when, despite globalization, we are in the end products of our own localized traditions and understandings.

Abstract:
Edible Arte: Springerle Cookies Springerle are white, anise-flavored cookies with a picture or design imprinted on the tops by specially carved rolling pins or flat molds. Sometimes the raised designs are also painted to enhance their appearance. A regional specialty of German Schwabia, Springerle are also baked in Alsace, Switzerland, Bavaria, and Bohemia. With roots in the pre-Christian era, Springerle are among several kinds of cookies shaped, molded, or decorated to depict animate or inanimate objects. The designs embossed on the tops of Springerle include religious figures, plants and animals, secular motifs, and symbolic images. The carving of wooden Springerle molds is an art in itself, and many European museums have collections of historical cookie molds. Today Springerle are traditionally baked for the Christmas season, although the motifs on historical molds indicate that these cookies were also made for religious holidays and secular events throughout the year in northern Europe.

Abstract:
Im Zuge der stärkeren Entwicklung des Web 2.0 und der damit vermehrten Veröffentlichung von nutzergenerierten Inhalten werden in dieser Arbeit neuartige Ansätze zur Analyse von hinzugefügten Tags, insbesondere von Geotags, betrachtet. Neben touristischen Erkenntnissen sind vor allem globale Fotosammlungen und 3D-Modelle aus einzelnen Fotos nennenswerte Ergebnisse dieser Forschungsarbeiten. Das Hauptaugenmerk dieser Diplomarbeit liegt bei der Entwicklung einer mobilen Anwendung zur Visualisierung von Kunsttopographien entlang des Malerwegs für das Betriebssystem Android. Mit dieser Applikation wird gleichzeitig ein Ansatz zur Zusammenarbeit der Fachgebiete Kunstwissenschaft und Kartographie geliefert. Hierfür sollen Landschaftsgemälde im Untersuchungsgebiet der Sächsischen Schweiz in der mobilen Anwendung dargestellt werden. Durch die Georeferenzierung der Malerstandorte dieser Gemälde können sie anhand der somit definierten Geotags in einer Karte visualisiert werden. Die Applikation soll den Nutzer nicht nur bei der Wahl eines Wanderweges unterstützen, sondern mit Hilfe einer passenden Signatur auch jederzeit entsprechende Informationen zu einem Landschaftsgemälde liefern, zum Beispiel Entstehungszeit, Epoche, Ausstellungsort oder Name des Künstlers. In der App zum Malerweg ist außerdem auch die Verlinkung zu Wikipedia-Artikeln, sowie die Kameranutzung integriert. Mit einem Usability Test wird schließlich die Gebrauchstauglichkeit der mobilen Anwendung ermittelt
In the course of the greater development of Web 2.0 and the resulting increased publication of “User Generated Content”, this work consider innovative approaches to the analysis of added tags, espacially of geotags. In addition to tourist findings, global photo collections and 3D models of individual photos are especially noteworthy results of this research. The main focus of this diploma thesis is the development of a mobile application for the visualisation of art topographies along the so called “Malerweg” for Android operating system. At the same time, an approach to the coorperation of the subject areas of science of art and cartography is delivered with this application. Therefore, landscape paintings of the study area Saxon Switzerland should be shown in the mobile application. By geocoding the painterlocations of these paintings, they can be visualized in a map based on the thus-defined geotags. The application will not only assist the user in choosing a trail, but also provide a matching cartographic symbol for delivering relevant information about a landscape painting at any time, for example, time of origin, epoch, place of issue or the name of the artist. In the app to “Malerweg”, there\'s furthermore a linking to Wikipedia articles integrated, as well as the camera use. Finally, a testing determine the usability of the mobile application

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Professor of paleontology at the University of Basel, Switzerland, Manfred Reichel was as much an accomplished scientist as a talented artist. Skilled in mental 3-D-visualization, aided by a sharp memory, and with a fine hand for illustration, he introduced comparative anatomy to the study of foraminifera, which is masterly illustrated in his analysis of Alveolinids, and used his knowledge of locomotion in modern birds as an actualistic method for portraying flying reptiles. Teaching was his motivation, and to aid his classes, beyond multiple drawings, he created a large number of scaled structural models of foraminifera and a life-size wooden replica of the Pteranodon with mobile articulations. Manfred Reichel was a perfectionist who left a large part of his studies and drawings unpublished.

Abstract:
Von Roll Inova is a major provider of thermal treatment technologies ranging from combustion, energy recovery, air pollution control, and residue processing. The company is headquartered in Switzerland and its portfolio includes over 300 WTEs around the world, processing more than 100,000 metric tons of solid wastes per day. This paper discusses the technological and political trends in Europe regarding waste-to-energy, the state-of-the-art-technology and presents an an overview of recently executed projects by Von Roll Inova. During the hiatus on new plant construction in the U.S., European countries pursued a variety of different approaches. Not all the results showed environmental, social or economic promise. Of the aspects developed since the mid-nineties, some are applicable to the United States. Particularly the advances in air pollution control technology and improved thermal efficiency will be useful as new Waste-to-Energy capacity is added in the U.S. and delays in permitting may be avoided by taking advantage of such experience transfers.

Resumen: Esta investigacióvn presenta la influencia en Charles-Edouard Jeanneret de su maestro Charles L´Eplattenier a través de dos instituciones: l´École d´Art de La Chaux-de-Fonds donde ambas figuras se encontraron y la asociación de la Suiza francófona l´OEUVRE, en la que los dos coincidieron también un breve espacio de tiempo en la misma época. La actividad en ambas instituciones representa la doble vertiente de un único proyecto para reformar los procesos artísticos ligados a los oficios artesanales; el propósito era incorporar al producto industrial producido en serie el valor añadido de su calidad artística, siguiendo el ejemplo de la Werkbund alemana. Para tal fin era necesario llevar a cabo una profunda reforma en el programa de enseñanza de dibujo en l´École d´Art, y desarrollar a la vez, una serie de acciones que permitieran visualizar los logros alcanzados. Su estrategia estaba apoyada en dos pilares: formación y propaganda. La presente investigación detalla de que manera Jeanneret participó en este proyecto a través de su intervención tanto en l´École d´Art y las nuevas estructuras para renovar la enseñanza del dibujo, como en la asociación l¨OEUVRE y sus distintos proyectos, A través de estas iniciativas encontramos el origen de algunos temas a los que Le Corbusier dedicará su atención; identificamos personajes que jugarán un papel importante en distintos momentos de su vida o proyectos y artículos que anunciarán propuestas teóricas y prácticas de sus trabajos posteriores. Abstract: This research presents the influence in Charles-Edouard Jeanneret of his master Charles L'Eplattenier in the context of two institutions. On one hand ´École d´Art de La Chaux-de-Fonds, where both figures met and where they established a first line of common work; and on the other hand, the association from the french-speaking Switzerland called l'Oeuvre, in which both briefly met. The activity in both institutions had the same goal and was in reality a single project: the reform of artistic processes bounded to the craft trades to provide the mass-produced industrial goods with the added value of artistic quality, following the example of the Deutscher Werkbund. In order to do this, it was necessary to carry out a profound reform of the drawing education program of l´Ecole d´Art and develop a series of propaganda actions allowing to visualize its achievements. Thus, the strategy was based on two pillars: education and propaganda. This research details how Jeanneret contributed to this project through his involvement in both, l´École d´Art’s renovation of drawing education and the Association l'Oeuvre’s various projects. Through them we discover the origin of some of the subjects that Le Corbusier will devote its attention to, characters that will play an important role in different moments of his life, or projects and articles that announce theoretical proposals or practices of his subsequent work.

Abstract:
Fixed wing Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are widely powered by miniature brushless DC motors and mini propellers. These motors have low efficiencies in the MAVs’ operating range; hence consume more power and penalizing the endurance of MAVs flight. Mini propellers also suffer with lower efficiencies due to low Reynolds number effect compared to bigger propellers. Based on the power requirement of MAV’s; generally two bladed different size propellers are used to power these MAVs. Effect of Propeller slipstream wash on the lift generating wings is significant and it is well reported for bigger propellers. The strength of slipstream wash depends on the number of blades, diameter of the propeller, rotational speed, flight speed and trajectory. The effect of slipstream wash could be lowered by increasing the number of blades and with smaller diameter propellers. CSIR-NAL has designed, developed, and fabricated, efficient, 6inch diameter, two and three blade, light-weight, mini propellers using latest state of the art technological advancements for CSIR-NAL fixed wing MAV code named as Black Kite. Apart from this, these propellers are assessed for its realistic propulsive efficiencies using CSIR-NAL configured sophisticated precision test bench manufactured and supplied by M/s MAGTROL, Switzerland. The specialty of this test bench is that it can measure thrust, propellers shaft torque, input power and rotational speeds simultaneously. In the present study CSIR-NAL developed 6 inch diameter two and three bladed propellers of identical plan form are compared for their performance. The three bladed propellers generate 30% higher thrust by marginal weight and efficiency penalty, whereas the noise levels are reduced.

Abstract:
<p>The historic building "Du Pont" in Zurich, Switzerland, was constructed between 1912 and 1913 by the Swiss architects Haller &amp; Schindler and it is listed as a cultural heritage object, including not only the Art Deco façade, but also the ground-breaking structure of reinforced concrete. The building includes several structural particularities, such as the slender, reinforced concrete, one-way ribbed slabs, a reinforced concrete truss structure in the roof hanging four floors and three transfer beams on the ground floor diverting the loads from the seven upper floors. This paper presents a detailed description of the different strengthening measures required to allow a more flexible use of the existing floors with larger live and dead loads, and to fulfil the current provisions of the Swiss Standards (SIA). The main objective of the proposed restoration and strengthening measures is to minimize the interventions as much as possible and preserve the original structural system. Of particular interest is the innovative solution adopted for the existing ribbed slabs. The required increase of resistance is obtained through a thin 40 mm overlay of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) above the carefully prepared existing slab. Due to the significance of the building and the particular characteristics of the existing concrete, experimental tests were conducted. Four specimens of the ribbed slabs were extracted from the building, strengthened on site with UHPFRC and transported to the structural laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETHZ), where the tests were conducted. The excellent results confirmed the suitability of the proposed strengthening solution through UHPFRC, setting a milestone for future restorations of these particular structures.</p>

Abstract:
Thermal treatment of waste using grate-based systems has gained world-wide acceptance as the preferred method for sustainable management of residual waste. However, in order to maintain this position and respond to new challenges and/or priorities, it is necessary to further develop innovative concepts that use safe process engineering technology in terms of climate and resource protection as well as reduction of environmental impacts. MARTIN, in collaboration with research institutes, successfully developed and optimized a multi-stage combustion process in the 1990s. Various pilot and full-scale studies and tests followed. Based on this knowledge, MARTIN and its cooperation partners COVANTA ENERGY (USA), CNIM (F) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (JP) developed the Very Low NOx (VLN) process as a large-scale primary measure for NOx reduction. MARTIN’s next step was to develop the Very Low NOx gasification mode (VLN-GM) process. This process has been implemented directly in continuous operation at an industrial-scale Energy-from-Waste (EfW) plant in Switzerland. In VLN-GM operation, the excess air rate in the gas above the grate is decreased from λ = 1.2 to about 0.8. The characteristics of municipal solid waste make it suitable for the generation of heat and power. While boiler concepts implemented in the past often focused on factors such as high availability, reduced downtimes and minimized maintenance costs, measures to increase the efficiency of the overall process are also growing in importance. Energy efficiency can be increased by optimizing boiler efficiency itself on the one hand, and on the other hand by improving peripheral plant devices, in particular by improving energy recovery through changes in the steam parameters. MARTIN has developed corrosion-protected wall and radiant superheater solutions, located in the upper furnace area, and installed these as prototypes in full-scale plants. As a result, steam can be heated about 35 °C (90 °F) in excess of the current state-of-the-art parameters without adversely affecting plant operation due to superheater corrosion. This paper documents that innovative concepts using MARTIN technology successfully provide solutions for a grate-based conversion technology (VLN-GM) as well as measures for increasing the energy efficiency of Energy-from-Waste plants.

Abstract:
Near-to-surface geothermal energy with heat pumps is state of the art and is already widespread in Switzerland. In the future energy system, medium-deep to deep geothermal energy (1 to 6 kilometres) will, in addition, play an important role. To the forefront is the supply of heat for buildings and industrial processes. This form of geothermal energy utilisation requires a highly permeable underground area that allows a fluid – usually water – to absorb the naturally existing rock heat and then transport it to the surface. Sedimentary rocks are usually permeable by nature, whereas for granites and gneisses permeability must be artificially induced by injecting water. The heat gained in this way increases in line with the drilling depth: at a depth of 1 kilometre, the underground temperature is approximately 40°C, while at a depth of 3 kilometres it is around 100°C. To drive a steam turbine for the production of electricity, temperatures of over 100°C are required. As this requires greater depths of 3 to 6 kilometres, the risk of seismicity induced by the drilling also increases. Underground zones are also suitable for storing heat and gases, such as hydrogen or methane, and for the definitive storage of CO2. For this purpose, such zones need to fulfil similar requirements to those applicable to heat generation. In addition, however, a dense top layer is required above the reservoir so that the gas cannot escape. The joint project “Hydropower and geo-energy” of the NRP “Energy” focused on the question of where suitable ground layers can be found in Switzerland that optimally meet the requirements for the various uses. A second research priority concerned measures to reduce seismicity induced by deep drilling and the resulting damage to buildings. Models and simulations were also developed which contribute to a better understanding of the underground processes involved in the development and use of geothermal resources. In summary, the research results show that there are good conditions in Switzerland for the use of medium-deep geothermal energy (1 to 3 kilometres) – both for the building stock and for industrial processes. There are also grounds for optimism concerning the seasonal storage of heat and gases. In contrast, the potential for the definitive storage of CO2 in relevant quantities is rather limited. With respect to electricity production using deep geothermal energy (> 3 kilometres), the extent to which there is potential to exploit the underground economically is still not absolutely certain. In this regard, industrially operated demonstration plants are urgently needed in order to boost acceptance among the population and investors.
