A dynamic-relaxation formulation for analysis of cable structures with sliding-induced friction

Ian Smith, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Ann Christine Sychterz

In many cable structures, special types of joints are designed to allow cables to slide freely along the joints. Thus, a number of discrete cable elements are substituted by a single continuous cable that slides over multiple nodes. Continuous cables are e ...

Adapting tilt corrections and the governing flow equations for steep, fully three-dimensional, mountainous terrain

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Eric Richard Pardyjak

In recent studies of atmospheric turbulent surface exchange in complex terrain, questions arise concerning velocity-sensor tilt corrections and the governing flow equations for coordinate systems aligned with steep slopes. The standard planar-fit method, a ...

An early geodynamo driven by exsolution of mantle components from Earth's core

James Badro

Recent palaeomagnetic observations(1) report the existence of a magnetic field on Earth that is at least 3.45 billion years old. Compositional buoyancy caused by inner-core growth(2) is the primary driver of Earth's present-day geodynamo(3-5), but the inne ...

Optical label-free and model-free probe of the surface potential of nanoscale and microscopic objects in aqueous solution

Sylvie Roke, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks

The electrostatic environment of aqueous systems is an essential ingredient for the function of any living system. To understand the electrostatic properties and their molecular foundation in soft, living, and three-dimensional systems, we developed a tabl ...

Neuromodulated-Spike-Timing-Dependent Pasticity, and Theory of Three-Factor Learning Rules

Wulfram Gerstner, Nicolas Frémaux

Classical Hebbian learning puts the emphasis on joint pre- and postsynaptic activity, but neglects the potential role of neuromodulators. Since neuromodulators convey information about novelty or reward, the influence of neuromodulators on synaptic plastic ...

Band-to-band tunneling distance analysis in the heterogate electron-hole bilayer tunnel field-effect transistor

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Cem Alper, José Luis Padilla de la Torre

In this work, we analyze the behavior of the band-to-band tunneling distance between electron and hole subbands resulting from field-induced quantum confinement in the heterogate electron-hole bilayer tunnel field-effect transistor. We show that, analogous ...
