Popular transforms, like the discrete cosine transform or the wavelet transform, owe their success to the fact that they promote sparsity. These transforms are capable of extracting the structure of a large class of signals and representing them by a few t ...
The path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) method provides a convenient way to compute the quantum mechanical structural and thermodynamic properties of condensed phase systems at the expense of introducing an additional set of high frequency normal modes ...
Master sintering curve (MSC) was used as a practical approach to analyse the sintering behavior of an ultrafine alumina powder. Non-isothermal sintering was carried out at three heating rates. The concept of the MSC has been used to investigate the effect ...
Cloud formation characteristics of the water-soluble organic fraction (WSOC) of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed from the ozonolysis of alkene hydrocarbons (terpinolene, 1-methlycycloheptene and cycloheptene) are studied. Based on size-resolved measu ...
The shape and dimensions of an atomic force microscope tip are crucial factors to obtain high resolution images at the nanoscale. When measuring samples with narrow trenches, inclined sidewalls near 90 or nanoscaled structures, standard silicon atomic forc ...
The accurate and efficient sampling of scattering parameters is addressed. A popular sampling technique is the uniform sampling combined with a straight-line interpolation for representing the continuous variation of the observable. However, this sampling ...
The paper focuses on the delayed behaviour of marls induced by a change in stress state and by the effect of water. Seven experiments were conducted in oedometric cells on marl from the Arbus tunnel (France). The samples were subjected to a single loading ...
Understanding the genetic basis of species adaptation in the context of global change poses one of the greatest challenges of this century. Although we have begun to understand the molecular basis of adaptation in those species for which whole genome seque ...
Some of the currently best-known approximation algorithms for network design are based on random sampling. One of the key steps of such algorithms is connecting a set of source nodes to a random subset of them. In a recent work [Eisenbrand,Grandoni,Rothvo\ ...
Sampling is a key step in the analysis of chemical compounds. It is particularly important in the environmental field, for example for wastewater effluents, wet-weather discharges or streams in which the flows and concentrations vary greatly over time. In ...
