Biomass selection by floods and related timescales. Part 2: Stochastic modeling

We analyze the results from a flume experiment presented in a companion paper by Perona et al. [1] exploring the selective action of floods on pioneer riparian vegetation. We study the way seedlings react to periodic flow disturbances in the early stages o ...

Numerical Modeling of the Conjugate Heat Transfer Problem for Annular Laminar Film Condensation in Microchannels

John Richard Thome, Stefano Nebuloni

This paper presents numerical simulations of annular laminar film condensation heat transfer in microchannels of different internal shapes. The model, which is based on a finite volume formulation of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations for the liquid ph ...

Polar Codes: Robustness of the Successive Cancellation Decoder with Respect to Quantization

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani

Polar codes provably achieve the capacity of a wide array of channels under successive decoding. This assumes infinite precision arithmetic. Given the successive nature of the decoding algorithm, one might worry about the sensitivity of the performance to ...

Streched organic transistors maintain mobility on flexible substrates

Jürgen Brugger, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Andreea Veronica Savu, Dimitrios Tsamados, Katrin Sidler Arnet, Nenad Cvetkovic

Two levels of aligned stencil lithography were used to fabricate pentacene thin film transistors on 12 mu m thick flexible polyimide substrates. Flexible transistors with 20 x 40 mu m(2) channels were electrically measured under strain up to 2.6%. After on ...

Analysis of the Second Moment of the LT Decoder

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Ghid Maatouk

In this paper, the second moment of the ripple size during the Luby transform (LT) decoding process is analyzed. Combined with a result by Karp et al. (2004) stating that the expectation of the ripple size is of the order of k, our study gives bounds on th ...

The cosmological impact of intrinsic alignment model choice for cosmic shear

Anaïs Marie Rassat

We consider the effect of galaxy intrinsic alignments (IAs) on dark energy constraints from weak gravitational lensing. We summarize the latest version of the linear alignment model of IAs, following a brief note of Hirata & Seljak and further interpretati ...

On the effect of image denoising on galaxy shape measurements

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Marc Gentile, Guldariya Nurbaeva

Weak gravitational lensing is a very sensitive way of measuring cosmological parameters, including dark energy, and of testing current theories of gravitation. In practice, this requires exquisite measurement of the shapes of billions of galaxies over larg ...

Reduced Basis Catalogs for Gravitational Wave Templates

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

We introduce a reduced basis approach as a new paradigm for modeling, representing and searching for gravitational waves. We construct waveform catalogs for nonspinning compact binary coalescences, and we find that for accuracies of 99% and 99.999% the met ...
