Hydraulic transients in straight and coil pipe rigs

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, David Ferràs Segura

Transient pressure waves in real pipe systems are affected by several phenomena not accounted for in the classic waterhammer theory. Damping mechanisms are differently manifested according to the material, configuration and existing features of pipe system ...

Learning to Segments Objects Candidates

Ronan Collobert, Pedro Henrique Oliveira Pinheiro

Recent object detection systems rely on two critical steps: (1) a set of object proposals is predicted as efficiently as possible, and (2) this set of candidate proposals is then passed to an object classifier. Such approaches have been shown they can be f ...

Tetradymites as Natural Hyperbolic Materials for the Near-Infrared to Visible

Klaus Kern, Pascal Gehring, Moritz Esslinger

Hyperbolic media exhibit unparalleld properties, e.g, as light absorbers in photovoltaics and photonics, as superlenses in far-field imaging, as subwavelength light concentrators in nanolithography, or as novel materials in emission engineering. With the a ...

Numerical study on the force-deformation behaviour of masonry spandrels with arches

Katrin Beyer, Sujith Mangalathu Sivasubramanian Pillai

This paper presents a numerical study on the force-deformation behaviour of masonry spandrels supported on arches which are analysed using simplified micro models. The model is validated against results from quasi-static cyclic tests on masonry spandrels. ...

Spatio-temporal synchronization of biological oscillators

Jonathan Bieler

The circadian clock is a cell-autonomous and self-sustained oscillator with a period of about 24 hours that controls many aspects of cellular physiology. The cell cycle is also a fundamental periodic process, with a period in the range of one day in mammal ...

Ab Initio Simulations of Activated Processes

This thesis is devoted to the study of activated processes at the nanoscale by means of state-of-the-art computer simulations. On the one hand, we are interested in addressing specific aspects of chemico-physical processes of great practical importance, na ...

Symmetry in 3D Geometry: Extraction and Applications

Mark Pauly, Duygu Ceylan

The concept of symmetry has received significant attention in computer graphics and computer vision research in recent years. Numerous methods have been proposed to find, extract, encode and exploit geometric symmetries and high‐level structural informatio ...

On the scaling of polar codes: II. The behavior of un-polarized channels

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani

We provide upper and lower bounds on the escape rate of the Bhattacharyya process corresponding to polar codes where transmission takes place over the the binary erasure channel. More precisely, we bound the exponent of the number of sub-channels whose Bha ...

Origini costruttive della colonna greca

Maria Chiara Barone

Despite the large number of writings on the Vitruvian theory relating to the mythical wood-worked origins of the Greek temple, there has been no recent writing on Ancient Greek buildings before De Architectura was published, in the period between the appea ...
