Species of Haliotis ~abalone! show high variety in structure and mineralogy of the shell. One of the European species ~Haliotis tuberculata! in particular has an unusual shell structure in which calcite and aragonite coexist at a microscale with small patc ...
This Letter details and discusses the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to t-channel electro-weak W(+)bj production, where finite top-width effects are consistently taken into account. The computation is done within the AMC@NLO framework and includes b ...
Concrete shells have been widely used in the past as economical and suitable solutions for a number of structures such as roofs, silos, cooling towers or offshore platforms. Taking advantage of their single or double curvature, bending moments and shear fo ...
During 2011 the LHCb experiment at CERN collected 1.0 fb(-1) of root s = 7 TeV pp collisions. Due to the large heavy quark production cross-sections, these data provide unprecedented samples of heavy flavoured hadrons. The first results from LHCb have made ...
We use aMC@NLO to study the production of four charged leptons at the LHC, performing parton showers with both HERWIG and PYTHIA6. Our underlying matrix element calculation features the full next-to-leading order O(alpha(S)) result and the O(alpha(2)(S)) c ...

We introduce a class of continuum shell structures, the Buckliball, which undergoes a structural transformation induced by buckling under pressure loading. The geometry of the Buckliball comprises a spherical shell patterned with a regular array of circula ...
Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are filamentary crystals with the diameter ranging from few tens up to few hundreds of nanometers. In the last 15 years, they have been intensively studied for the prospectives that their unique quasi-one dimensional shape off ...
An Al-6.3Li-0.07Sc-0.02Yb (at.%) alloy is subjected to a double-aging treatment to create nanoscale precipitates, which are studied by atom-probe tomography and transmission electron microscopy. After homogenization and quenching, Yb atoms form clusters ex ...
We propose a methodology for identifying queue spillovers in city street networks with signalized intersections using data from conventional surveillance systems, such as counts and occupancy from loop detectors. The key idea of the proposed methodology is ...
This paper describes efficient C-0-compatible finite elements for modelling structurally damped laminated composite plates and shells under harmonic vibrations. Based upon a shear deformation theory of any order p (PSDT), the elements are well adapted for ...
