Although the most complex currently available fluid-neutral Monte-Carlo plasma boundary code package, SOLPS, has been a major player in the ITER divertor design, it has not yet been systematically used for the study of kinetic phenomena such as ELM transie ...
The three-dimensional (3-D) VMEC code has been modified to model an energetic species with a variant of a Bi-Maxwellian distribution function that satisfies the constraint B . del F-h = 0, and the 3-D TERPSICHORE stability code has been extended to investi ...
In situ determination of stress, strength, and deformation of soils for direct assessment of trafficability and susceptibility to compaction has been a long-standing problem in soil mechanics and agricultural engineering. Despite considerable progress in d ...
The tensile failure of fiber-reinforced composites in 2D (l-ply) and thin multi-ply samples has been studied numerically in order to assess the role of dimensionality on the absolute magnitude, reliability, and size scaling of composite strength. Single-pl ...
To evaluate whether an activity monitor based on body acceleration measurement can accurately assess the energy cost of the human locomotion, 12 subjects walked a combination of three different speeds (preferred speed+/-1 km/h) and seven slopes (-15 to + 1 ...
This article treats the problem of learning a dictionary providing sparse representations for a given signal class, via ℓ1-minimisation. The problem can also be seen as factorising a \ddim×\nsig matrix $Y=(y_1 \ldots y_\nsig), , y_n\in \R^\ ...

We report a calculation of the correlation function of the local density of states in a disordered quasi-one-dimensional wire in the unitary symmetry class at a small energy difference. Using an expression from the supersymmetric sigma model, we obtain the ...
New phase-shifting techniques have recently been proposed to suppress the complex-conjugate ambiguity in frequency-domain optical-coherence tomography. A phase shift is introduced, in an elegant fashion, by incorporating a small beam offset at the scanning ...

Stewart's recently introduced Krylov-Schur algorithm is a modification of the implicitly restarted Arnoldi algorithm which employs reordered Schur decompositions to perform restarts and deflations in a numerically reliable manner. This paper describes a va ...
