Simulating Mold Risks under Future Climate Conditions

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Anat Siddharth, Viacheslav Snigirev, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Jijun He

This research tests the potential susceptibility of a prevalent, residential, wall assembly to the risk of sustained mold-growth in predicted future climate conditions. Here, the authors demonstrate a methodology that combines hygrothermal and mold-growth ...

Il demone dell'analogia: Ovvero affinità e divergenze fra il compagno aristotele e noi

Nicola Braghieri

This laconic discourse uses the Aristotelian authority to define the role of the analogical procedure in the government of the architectural composition. Respecting its ambiguous balance between mathematical method and attitude of the imagination, analogy ...

On aggregative and mean field games with applications to electricity markets

Maryam Kamgarpour, John Lygeros

We study the existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibria for a certain class of aggregative games with finite and possibly large number of players. Sufficient conditions for these are obtained using the theory of variational inequalities together with the ...

Explicit non-local damage computations in dynamics: on the importance of the choice of the non-local variable.

Jean-François Molinari, Nicolas Richart, Cyprien Wolff

Traditional local approaches to continuum damage mechanics are known to lead to mesh dependency due to damage localization. Some corrections for this ill-posed problem exist through localization limiters. The integral non-local regularization is widely use ...

On a problem in relation with the values of the argument of the Riemann zeta function in the neighborhood of points where zeta is large

The aim of this research is to establish a relation between the derivatives of Hardy's Z function and the argument of the Riemann zeta function in the neighborhood of points where |Z| reaches a large maximum. In this paper, we make a step toward this goal ...
