We study supersymmetric QED in AdS(4) with massless matter. At 1-loop the ultra-violet regulator of the theory generates a contribution to the gaugino mass that is naively inconsistent with unbroken supersymmetry. We show that this effect, known in flat sp ...
Several old and new finite-element preconditioners for nodal-based spectral discretizations of −laplace(u) = f in the domain Ω=(−1,1)d (d = 2 or 3), with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, are considered and compared in terms of bothcondi ...
The simulation of flows of viscoelastic fluids is a very challenging domain from the theoretical as well as the numerical modelling point of view. In particular, all the existing methods have failed to solve the high Weissenberg number problem (HWNP). It i ...
This paper focuses on the parametric study of steady and unsteady forced and natural convection problems by the certified reduced basis method. These problems are characterized by an input-output relationship in which given an input parameter vector — mate ...
Functional stimulation is one of the most fascinating applications of bioelectromagnetism. It deals with the stimulation of excitable biological tissues by electromagnetic fields. One of its most impressive medical applications is the subthalamic nucleus d ...
Climate has a direct impact on cities' energy flows due to the space conditioning (heating, cooling) needs of the buildings accommodated. This impact may be reinforced due to climate change and to the (so called) urban heat island effect. The corresponding ...
We investigate the role of boundary conditions in gauge theories in AdS(4). The presence of the boundary can break the gauge symmetry consistently with AdS(4) isometries. We show that, as a consequence, the gauge bosons associated to the broken symmetries ...
After validation with experimental data, large-eddy simulation (LES) is used to study in detail the open-channel flow through a curved flume. Based on the LES results, the present paper addresses four issues. Firstly, features of the complex bicellular pat ...
Shallow reservoirs are threatened by fast filling up with sediments, even if the entering sediments are only suspended loads. The sedimentation process is strongly influenced by the geometry of such shallow reservoirs. In the framework of a research projec ...
The dominance of conduction and the negligible effect of gravity, and hence free convection, are verified in the case of microscale heat sources surrounded by air at atmospheric pressure. A list of temperature-dependent heat transfer coefficients is provid ...
