In the framework of the modern theory of polarization, we rigorously establish the microscopic nature of the electric displacement field D. In particular, we show that the longitudinal component of D is preserved at a coherent and insulating interface. To ...
A new likelihood method to estimate the extremal index, together with an application to temperature data, is presented. Conditions for the validity of the model are discussed and diagnostics are proposed. ...
We revisit the asymptotic formulas originally derived in [D.J. Cedio-Fengya, S. Moskow, M.S. Vogelius, Identification of conductivity imperfections of small diameter by boundary measurements. Continuous dependence and computational reconstruction, Inverse ...
Caring and rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries have greatly evolved during the twentieth century. Unfortunately standard training still heavily relies on manual mobilization of the patient. Which not only results in short training periods, but also prev ...
In the framework of rockfall trajectory modelling, the bouncing phenomenon occurring when a rock block impacts with the slope surface is the most difficult to predict, owing to its complexity and its very limited understanding. To date, the rebound is comm ...
We have studied self-coordinated transportation systems using SU-8 microstructures in open microchannels and here present a stochastic model for the bacteria-driven microbarge that is designed to mimic the motion of this system with and without chemical gr ...
We give sufficient conditions for the naturallity of the exterior differential under Sobolev mappings. In other words we study the validity of the equation df∗α=f∗dα for a smooth form α and a Sobolev map f. ...
Adiabaticity plays a central role in modern magnetic resonance experiments, as excitations with adiabatic Hamiltonians allow precise control of the dynamics of the spin states during the course of an experiment. Surprisingly, many commonly used adiabatic p ...
We calculate the transverse and the longitudinal infrared absorption spectra of the hydrated silicon surface using a first-principles approach. The absorption spectra are computed for two different configurations of water molecules dissociatively chemisorb ...
Pelvic motion is of great importance when walking, and have thus to be taken into account while developing rehabilitation robotics. This paper describes the implementation of a pelvic motion amplitude prediction model on a pelvic orthosis and tests on vali ...
