Beyond Pretty Pictures: Combined Single- and Multi-Image Super-resolution for Sentinel-2 Images
Super-resolution aims to increase the resolution of satellite images by reconstructing high-frequency details, which go beyond naïve upsampling. This has particular relevance for Earth observation missions like Sentinel-2, which offer frequent, regular coverage at no cost; but at coarse resolution. Its pixel footprint is too large to capture small features like houses, streets, or hedge rows. To address this, we present SEN4X, a hybrid super-resolution architecture that combines the advantages…

Effect of the Gotthard Base Tunnel:
👉 a modest but statistically significant decline in the number of cars 🚗
👉 a substantial induced rail demand effect resulting from the travel time savings 🚅
Conclusion by the authors:
on such touristic routes, road and rail transport are not perfect substitutes
My personal conclusion:
👉 Modal shift needs push & pull measures
👉 Without other measures (pricing, reduced capacity, slowing), adding capacity only increas…

The Effect of the Gotthard Base Tunnel on Road Traffic: A Synthetic Control Approach
The opening of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in 2017, the longest railway tunnel in the world, marked a milestone in Swiss transport policy. The tunnel, a part of the New Rail Link through the Alps, serves as a key instrument of the so-called "modal shift policy," which aims to transfer transalpine freight traffic from road to rail. The reduction in travel time by train between northern and southern Switzerland raised expectations that a substantial share of tourist-oriented passenger traffic would …

Electric field control of superconducting fluctuations and quasiparticle interference at oxide interfaces
We investigate tunable superconducting transitions in (111)$\mathrm{LaAlO}_3/\mathrm{KTaO}_3$ field-effect devices. Large increases in conductivity, associated with superconducting fluctuations, are observed far above the transition temperature. However, the standard Aslamazov-Larkin paraconductivity model significantly underestimates the effect observed here. We use a model that includes conductivity corrections from normal state quasiparticle interference together with all contributions from …

Future Deployment and Flexibility of Distributed Energy Resources in the Distribution Grids of Switzerland
The decarbonization goals worldwide drive the energy transition of power distribution grids, which operate under increasingly volatile conditions and closer to their technical limits. In this context, localized operational data with high temporal and spatial resolution is essential for their effective planning and regulation. Nevertheless, information on grid-connected distributed energy resources, such as electric vehicles, photovoltaic systems, and heat pumps, is often fragmented, inconsisten…

The impact of economic policies on housing prices. Approximations and predictions in the UK, the US, France, and Switzerland from the 1980s to today
I show that house prices can be modeled using machine learning (kNN and tree-bagging) and a small dataset composed of macro-economic factors (MEF), including an inflation metric (CPI), US treasury rates (10-yr), Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and portfolio size of central banks (ECB, FED). This set of parameters covers all the parties involved in a transaction (buyer, seller, and financing facility) while ignoring the intrinsic properties of each asset and encompassing local (inflation) and liqu…

A Data-driven Predictive Control Architecture for Train Thermal Energy Management
We aim to improve the energy efficiency of train climate control architectures, with a focus on a specific class of regional trains operating throughout Switzerland, especially in Zurich and Geneva. Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems represent the second largest energy consumer in these trains after traction. The current architecture comprises a high-level rule-based controller and a low-level tracking controller. To improve train energy efficiency, we propose adding a mi…
