Universal scaling of tunable Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states across the quantum phase transition

Quantum magnetic impurities give rise to a wealth of phenomena attracting tremendous research interest in recent years. On a normal metal, magnetic impurities generate the correlation-driven Kondo effect. On a superconductor, bound states emerge inside the ...

Alpha-NML Universal Predictors

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Marco Bondaschi

Inspired by Sibson’s alpha-mutual information, we introduce a new parametric class of universal predictors. This class interpolates two well-known predictors, the mixture estimator, that includes the Laplace and the Krichevsky-Trofimov predictors, and the ...

Electromagnetic forces in the time domain

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev

We look beyond the standard time-average approach and investigate optical forces in the time domain. The formalism is developed for both the Abraham and Minkowski momenta, which appear to converge in the time domain. We unveil an extremely rich - and by fa ...

Global Climate Change Mitigation: Strategic Incentives

Sigit Pria Perdana

Central to global agreement on carbon emissions are strategic interactions amongst regions over abatement policy and the benefits to be shared. These are re-examined in this paper, in which benefits from mitigation stem from a meta-analysis that links carb ...

Seasonal hysteresis of surface urban heat islands

Gabriele Manoli, Gabriel George Katul

Temporal dynamics of urban warming have been extensively studied at the diurnal scale, but the impact of background climate on the observed seasonality of surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) remains largely unexplored. On seasonal time scales, the intensity ...

Maximum-energy records in glassy energy landscapes

Marco Baity-Jesi, Riccardo Ravasio

We study the evolution of the maximum energy E-max(t) reached between time 0 and time t in the dynamics of simple models with glassy energy landscapes, after an instant quench from infinite temperature to a target temperature T. Through a detailed descript ...

Scaling as a key conceptual tool for the interpretation of empirical and experimental patterns in ecology and biology

Silvia Zaoli

This thesis is concerned with regular patterns found in ecology and biology, their linkages and the statistical description of their fluctuations around average trends. Among such patterns, often conforming to power laws, well-known examples include the Sp ...

A Scalable and Secure System Architecture for Smart Buildings

Georgios Lilis

Recent years has seen profound changes in building technologies both in Europe and worldwide. With the emergence of Smart Grid and Smart City concepts, the Smart Building has attracted considerable attention and rapid development. The introduction of novel ...

Losses of runaway electrons in MHD-active plasmas of the COMPASS tokamak

Cristian Sommariva, Joan Decker, Gergely Papp

The significant role of magnetic perturbations in mitigation and losses of runaway electrons (REs) was documented in dedicated experimental studies of RE at the COMPASS tokamak. REs in COMPASS are produced both in low density quiescent discharges and in di ...

2DVD Data Revisited: Multifractal Insights into Cuts of the Spatiotemporal Rainfall Process

Alexis Berne

Data collected during four heavy rainfall events that occurred in Ardeche (France) with the help of a 2D video disdrometer (2DVD) are used to investigate the structure of the raindrop distribution in both space and time. A first type of analysis is based o ...
