Euclid: Cosmology forecasts from the void-galaxy cross-correlation function with reconstruction

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

We have investigated the cosmological constraints that can be expected from measurement of the cross-correlation of galaxies with cosmic voids identified in the Euclid spectroscopic survey, which will include spectroscopic information for tens of millions ...

Euclid : Effects of sample covariance on the number counts of galaxy clusters

Georges Meylan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

Aims. We investigate the contribution of shot-noise and sample variance to uncertainties in the cosmological parameter constraints inferred from cluster number counts, in the context of the Euclid survey. Methods. By analysing 1000 Euclid-like light cones, ...

Experimental Observation of Topological Fano Resonances for Audible Sound

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

The Fano resonance is a widespread wave scattering phenomenon observed in many different systems, from cold atom physics, to electromagnetics, electronic circuits, and acoustics. It is characterized by a very sharp and asymmetric scattering cross-section s ...

Decoding the Grasping Intention from Electromyography during Reaching Motions

Aude Billard, Iason Batzianoulis, Nili Eliana Krausz

Background: Active upper-limb prostheses are used to restore important hand functionalities, such as grasping. In conventional approaches, a pattern recognition system is trained over a number of static grasping gestures. However, training a classifier in ...

We have built microstructured sheets that rotate, on transmission, the direction of light rays by an arbitrary, but fixed, angle around the sheet normal. These ray-rotation sheets comprise two pairs of confocal lenticular arrays. In addition to rotating th ...

Gaze and discomfort glare, Part 1: Development of a gaze-driven photometry

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Mandana Sarey Khanie

Discomfort glare is a major challenge for the design of workplaces. The existing metrics for discomfort glare prediction share the limitation that they do not take gaze direction into account. In order to overcome this limitation, we developed a ‘gaze-driv ...

We discuss how nonrelativistic spacetime symmetries can be gauged in the context of the coset construction. We consider theories invariant under the centrally extended Galilei algebra as well as the Lifshitz one, and we investigate under what conditions th ...

Reaching over to grasp an item is arguably the most commonly used motor skill by humans. Even under sudden perturbations, humans seem to react rapidly and adapt their motion to guarantee success. Despite the apparent ease and frequency with which we use th ...

Simple and easily controllable parabolic-shaped microlenses printed on polymeric mesas

Jürgen Brugger, Cristina Martin Olmos, Joo Yeon Kim

A simple and easy shape-controllable approach is demonstrated for the fabrication of parabolic-shaped polymer microlenses (mu-lenses), which are widely used in bio-imaging systems such as microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip systems for improving the image quali ...

When objects move in the environment, their retinal images can undergo drastic changes and features of different objects can be inter-mixed in the retinal image. Notwithstanding these changes and ambiguities, the visual system is capable of establishing co ...
