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 ...
According to the principles of embodied cognition, intelligent behavior must arise out of the coupled dynamics of an agent's brain, body, and environment. This suggests that the morphological complexity of a robot should scale in relation to the complexity ...
Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) are known to reduce or even stop expansion due to alkali silica reaction (ASR) in concretes with reactive aggregates. Studies indicate that the main reason for this is the decrease in alkalinity of the pore soluti ...
This chapter is a contribution in honour of Gerhard H Jirka, who has been fascinated by the amazing variety of small-scale structures that nature surprises us with, particularly in stratified natural waters. Here, we focus on the diffusive regime of double ...
The relation between the near–field and far–field properties of plasmonic nanostructures that exhibit Fano resonances is investigated in detail. We show that specific features visible in the asymmetric lineshape far–field response of such structures origin ...
Building a personalized model to describe the drug concentration inside the human body for each patient is highly important to the clinical practice and demanding to the modeling tools. Instead of using traditional explicit methods, in this paper we propos ...
Although, a lot is known about the factors contributing to friction, a complete physical understanding of the origins of friction is still lacking. At the macroscale several laws have long since described the relation between load (Amontons, Coulomb), appa ...
The Lighthouse Project proposes a house. Named a House it had to address inhabitation: for whom was defined by each student. Additionally the Lighthouse had to include a public function. Light was considered as an attractor and conductor of flows in the ur ...
An equilibrated polycrystalline material is considered, containing a small fraction of void space (melt or vapor), for which the crystals are above their roughening transition against this medium. The grain boundaries are approximated to have equal free en ...
The project is developed around a central courtyard in response to the site where it is located, while taking advantage of the existing slope to resolve the position of the singular buildings in relation to the system of grouping classrooms; the direct con ...
