Why computational complexity may set impenetrable barriers for epistemic reductionism

Michael Herzog, Christian Sachse, Adrien Christophe Doerig

According to physicalism, everything is physical or metaphysically connected to the physical. If physicalism were true, it seems that we should - in principle - be able to reduce the descriptions and explanations of special sciences to physical ones, for e ...

Detailed asteroseismic modelling of RR Lyrae stars with non-radial modes

Henryka Ewa Netzel

Photometric observations from the last decade have revealed additional low-amplitude periodicities in many classical pulsators that are likely due to pulsations in non-radial modes. One group of multimode RR Lyrae stars, the so-called 0.61 stars, is partic ...

Heuristic Estimation of the Vacuum Energy Density of the Universe: Part I—Analysis Based on Time Domain Electromagnetic Radiation

Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

In this paper, an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density of the universe is derived using an indirect and heuristic procedure. The derivation is based on a proposed thought experiment, according to which an electron is accelerated to a constant ...

Towards high-throughput many-body perturbation theory: efficient algorithms and automated workflows

Giovanni Pizzi, Antimo Marrazzo, Junfeng Qiao, Miki Bonacci, Andrea Ferretti

The automation of ab initio simulations is essential in view of performing high-throughput (HT) computational screenings oriented to the discovery of novel materials with desired physical properties. In this work, we propose algorithms and implementations ...

Gravitational effects on theemergence,propagation,andarrestofhydraulicfractures

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Carlo Peruzzo, Dmitriy Garagash

Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compres- sive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the develo ...

Strength and timing of primary and secondary vortices generated by a rotating plate

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Diego Francescangeli

Accurate predictions of how vortices grow, evolve, and separate from aerodynamic objects are desirable for various applications ranging from autonomous aerial vehicles to wind turbines. Here, we present an experimental characterisation of the formation pro ...

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 ...
