Wave-momentum shaping for moving objects in heterogeneous and dynamic media
Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Matthieu Francis Malléjac, Bakhtiyar Orazbayev, Stefan Rotter
Light and sound waves can move objects through the transfer of linear or angular momentum, which has led to the development of optical and acoustic tweezers, with applications ranging from biomedical engineering to quantum optics. Although impressive manip ...
2024Roughness Evolution Induced by Third-Body Wear
Jean-François Molinari, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Tobias Brink
Surface roughness is a key factor when it comes to friction and wear, as well as to other physical properties. These phenomena are controlled by mechanisms acting at small scales, in which the topography of apparently flat surfaces is revealed. Roughness i ...
New York2024Probabilistic and Deterministic Wellposedness for Low Regularity Dispersive Equations
Katie Sabrina Catherine Rosie Marsden
In this thesis we will present two results on global existence for nonlinear dispersive equations with data at or below the scaling regularity. In chapter 1 we take a probabilistic perspective to study the energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in ...
EPFL2024Digital Twins of Stone Masonry Buildings for Damage Assessment
Katrin Beyer, Radhakrishna Achanta, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero
Digital twins are virtual models of physical objects or systems that enable real-time monitoring and analysis. In the field of stone masonry buildings, digital twins can be used to assess damage, predict maintenance needs, and opti- mize building performanc ...
Springer2024Incommensurate phases
Incommensurately modulated crystalline phases are part of a more general family called aperiodic crystals. Their symmetry is treated within the theoretical framework of superspace groups that is a generalization of the 3D space groups that are used for con ...
Academic Press2024The Two Times Problem: Where Is the Problem?
Gruber et al. (2022) offered a framework how to explain "Physical time within human time", solving the 'two times problem: Here, I am asking whether such a problem exists at all. To question the question, I will appeal to neurobiological, evolutionary, and ...
Brill2024Technology challenges and integration of the plasma position reflectometer in RFX-mod2
The integration of the new plasma position reflectometer in the RFX-mod2 experiment (the upgraded version of the previous RFX-mod that operated until 2015) is presented in this contribution. Particular attention has been devoted to the high field side subs ...
Lausanne2024Physical Body Orientation Impacts Virtual Navigation Experience and Performance
Olaf Blanke, Emanuela De Falco, Hsin-Ping Wu, Hyukjun Moon
Most human navigation studies in MRI rely on virtual navigation. However, the necessary supine position in MRI makes it fundamentally different from daily ecological navigation. Nonetheless, until now, no study has assessed whether differences in physical ...
Washington2023Advances in Spillway Hydraulics: From Theory to Practice
Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos
Over the past decades, significant advances have been achieved in hydraulic structures for dams, namely in water release structures such as spillway weirs, chutes, and energy dissipators. This editorial presents a brief overview of the eleven papers in thi ...
2023Out-of-body illusion induced by visual-vestibular stimulation
Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Florian Lance, Hsin-Ping Wu, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka, Estelle Nakul
Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are characterized by the subjective feeling of being located outside one's physical body and perceiving one's own body from an elevated perspective looking downwards. OBEs have been correlated with abnormal integration of bod ...
