Conformal and chiral phase transitions in Rydberg chains

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga, Ivo Aguiar Maceira

Using density matrix renormalization group simulations on open chains, we map out the wave vector in the incommensurate disordered phase of a realistic model of Rydberg chains with 1/r6 interactions, and we locate and characterize the points along the comm ...

Preliminary Design of a Lunar Reconnaissance Drone

Erik Uythoven, Thomas Pfeiffer

In this report, a preliminary design study of a compact lunar reconnaissance drone module which will assist exploration rovers is presented. It is designed to assist future exploratory rover missions in difficult environments such as PSRs or extreme topogr ...

Substantial contribution of iodine to Arctic ozone destruction

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada

Unlike bromine, the effect of iodine chemistry on the Arctic surface ozone budget is poorly constrained. We present ship-based measurements of halogen oxides in the high Arctic boundary layer from the sunlit period of March to October 2020 and show that io ...

ESM-SnowMIP: assessing snow models and quantifying snow-related climate feedbacks

Nander Wever, Charles Fierz, Tao Wang, Xing Fang

This paper describes ESM-SnowMIP, an international coordinated modelling effort to evaluate current snow schemes, including snow schemes that are included in Earth system models, in a wide variety of settings against local and global observations. The proj ...

An inertial sensor-based system for spatio-temporal analysis in classic cross-country skiing diagonal technique

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Benedikt Fasel, Julien Chardonnens

The present study proposes a method based on ski fixed inertial sensors to automatically compute spatio-temporal parameters (phase durations, cycle speed and cycle length) for the diagonal stride in classical cross-country skiing. The proposed system was v ...

Detection and reconstruction of large-scale coherent flow structures in gravel-bed rivers

Ulrich Lemmin, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca

Large-scale flow structures (LSFS) in the streamwise direction are important features of gravel-bed river flows, because they may contribute to sediment transport and gas exchange. In the present study, these structures are detected using Huang's empirical ...

Evidence that the Lunar Cycle Influences Human Sleep

Endogenous rhythms of circalunar periodicity (similar to 29.5 days) and their underlying molecular and genetic basis have been demonstrated in a number of marine species [1, 2]. In contrast, there is a great deal of folklore but no consistent association o ...

Phase diagram of the spin-1 Heisenberg model with three-site interactions on the square lattice

Frédéric Mila, Frédéric Alexis Michaud

We study the spin S = 1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the square lattice with, in addition to the nearest-neighbor interaction, a three-site interaction of the form (S-i . S-j)(S-j . S-k) + H.c. This interaction appears naturally in a strong coupli ...

GNSS PERFORMANCES FOR MEO, GEO AND HEO

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) such as GPS, GLONASS, and the future Galileo and BeiDou, have demonstrated to be a valid and efficient system for various space applications in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), such as spacecraft orbit and attitude determi ...

Monthly Strontium/Calcium oscillations in symbiotic coral aragonite: Biological effects limiting the precision of the paleotemperature proxy

Anders Meibom

In thermodynamic equilibrium with sea water the Sr/Ca ratio of aragonite varies predictably with temperature and the Sr/Ca ratio in coral have thus become a frequently used proxy for past Sea Surface Temperature (SST). However, biological effects can offse ...
