Demonstration of a sparse sensor placement technique to the limited diagnostic set in a fusion power plant

DEMO will have a limited diagnostic set for optimization of reactor performance, and limited diagnostic coverage due to challenging reactor conditions. This poses challenges for control, especially for detachment control which is planned to be performed wi ...

Splitting probabilities and mean first passage times across multiple thresholds of jump-and-drift transition paths

Paolo Perona, Giulio Calvani

We apply the stochastic-trajectory analysis to derive exact expressions for the mean first passage times of jump-and-drift transition paths across two or more consecutive thresholds. We perform the analysis of the crossing statistics in terms of dimensionl ...

Deep Learning for 3D Surface Modelling and Reconstruction

Benoît Alain René Guillard

In recent years, there has been a significant revolution in the field of deep learning, which has demonstrated its effectiveness in automatically capturing intricate patterns from large datasets. However, the majority of these successes in Computer Vision ...

The exploration process of critical Boltzmann planar maps decorated by a triangular O(n) loop model

Aleksandra Korzhenkova

In this paper we investigate pointed (q, g, n)-Boltzmann loop-decorated maps with loops traversing only inner triangular faces. Using peeling exploration Budd (2018) modified to this setting we show that its law in the non-generic critical phase can be cod ...

Modelling electronic transport in monocrystalline metal oxide gas sensors: from the surface kinetics to the experimental response

Roberto Guarino, Gianluca Piccinini

Gas sensing systems and devices based on metal oxides are widely spreading due to their high performance in terms of sensor response and relatively low costs. Despite several experimental studies, as well as molecular simulations, are available in the lite ...

Liquid metal infiltration of silicon based alloys into porous carbonaceous materials. Part II: Experimental verification of modelling approaches by infiltration of Si-Zr alloy into idealized microchannels

Ludger Weber, Caroline Hain, Giovanni Bianchi, Alberto Ortona, Manoj Kondibhau Naikade

In this work, the mechanisms leading to the pore closure in reactive melt infiltration (RMI) of carbon by pure silicon and a near eutectic Si-8 at-pct Zr alloy at 1500 and 1700 degrees C under vacuum were studied. Various geometrical configurations of micr ...

Reinforcing hydrogels with in situ formed amorphous CaCO3

Esther Amstad, Matteo Hirsch, Ran Zhao, Tianyu Yuan, Huachuan Du, Michael David Kessler

Hydrogels are often employed for tissue engineering and moistening applications. However, they are rarely used for load-bearing purposes because of their limited stiffness and the stiffness-toughness compromise inherent to them. By contrast, nature uses hy ...

Risk governance and the rise of deepfakes

Touradj Ebrahimi

Deepfakes first came to prominence less than five years ago. Since then, they have surged in quantity and quality, becoming both a source of viral entertainment and of concern about the dark side of digital life. In this article, we provide a risk governan ...

Improvement of Mott spin polarimeters: An overlooked redundancy

Mauro Fanciulli

In Mott polarimeters, the measurement of the spin polarization of an electron beam along two perpendicular quantization axes is commonly performed by collecting scattered electrons with four independent detectors placed azimuthally at 90 degrees from each ...
