Accessible triple-phase boundary length: A performance metric to account for transport pathways in heterogeneous electrochemical materials

Jan Van Herle, Marco Cantoni, Arata Nakajo

The performance of materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage depends upon the number of electrocatalytic sites available for reaction and their accessibility by the transport of reactants and products. For solid oxide fuel/electrolysis ce ...

A Switched Oscillator Geometry Inspired by a Curvilinear Space-Part I: DC Considerations

We present a new technique for the design and test of coaxial switched oscillators (SWOs). In this paper (Part I of a two-part paper), we concentrate on the electrostatic design of coaxial SWOs. We introduce a new design for the electrodes, which have been ...

Conformal invariance of crossing probabilities for the Ising model with free boundary conditions

Clément Hongler

We prove that crossing probabilities for the critical planar Ising model with free boundary conditions are conformally invariant in the scaling limit, a phenomenon first investigated numerically by Langlands, Lewis and Saint-Aubin (J. Stat. Phys. 98 (2000) ...

Minkowski space is locally the Noldus limit of Poisson process causets

Jan Cristina

A Poisson process P-lambda on R-d with causal structure inherited from the the usual Minkowski metric on R-d has a normalised discrete causal distance D-lambda (x, y) given by the height of the longest causal chain normalised by lambda(1/d)c(d). We prove t ...

Beyond Developable: Computational Design and Fabrication with Auxetic Materials

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng, Mina Konakovic Lukovic

We present a computational method for interactive 3D design and rationalization of surfaces via auxetic materials, i.e., flat flexible material that can stretch uniformly up to a certain extent. A key motivation for studying such material is that one can a ...

New parametric equations to estimate notch stress concentration factors at butt welded joints modeling the weld profile with splines

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Alexandre Jean Pachoud

For fatigue life estimation as well as for fatigue testing analysis of welded structures by local stresses approaches, the stress concentration factor (SCF) at the weld must be known. Full penetration butt welded joints are extensively used in steel struct ...

Constraints on perturbative RG flows in six dimensions

Lorenzo Vitale

When conformal field theories (CFTs) are perturbed by marginally relevant deformations, renormalization group (RG) flows ensue that can be studied with perturbative methods, at least as long as they remain close to the original CFT. In this work we study s ...

Nonstatistical UV Fragmentation of Gas-Phase Peptides Reveals Conformers and Their Structural Features

Vladimir Kopysov

Solving the 3D structure of a biomolecule requires recognition of its conformers and measurements of their individual structural identities, which can be compared with calculations. We employ the phenomenon of nonstatistical photofragmentation, detected by ...

IR-induced conformational isomerization of a helical peptide in a cold ion trap

Thomas Rizzo, Aleksandra Zabuga, Annette Svendsen, Caroline Seaiby

In this work we use laser-induced population transfer techniques to study the conformational isomerization of a helical peptide, Ac-Phe-(Ala)5-LysH+, in a cold ion trap. In one scheme, called IR-UV hole-filling spectroscopy, a single conformation is select ...

Superspace formulation of the local RG equation

Boaz Keren Zur

We present the superspace formulation of the local RG equation, a framework for the study of supersymmetric RG flows in which the constraints of holomorphy and R-symmetry are manifest. We derive the consistency conditions associated with super-Weyl symmetr ...
