Diffusion of energy technologies: the role and dynamics of supply-side information networks

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Romano Tobias Wyss, Gloria Serra Coch, Maria Anna Hecher

The diffusion of energy technologies is key for supporting the energy transition. While social influence and peer effects have been extensively studied on the demand side and found to impact adoption, less focus has been given to the role of information ne ...

An experimental validation of the polynomial curvature model: identification and optimal control of a soft underwater tentacle

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Francesco Stella, Nana Obayashi

The control possibilities for soft robots have long been hindered by the lack of accurate yet computationally treatable dynamic models of soft structures. Polynomial curvature models propose a solution to this quest for continuum slender structures. Nevert ...

Self-Structuring Of Cellular And Channel Type In Complex System Dynamics In The Framework Of Scale Relativity Theory

Maria-Alexandra Paun

In the framework of Scale Relativity Theory, by analyzing dynamics of complex system structural units based on multifractal curves, both Schrodinger and Madelung approaches are functional and complementary. The Madelung selected approach involve synchronou ...

Higgs inflation in Einstein-Cartan gravity

Andrey Shkerin, Inar Timiryasov, Sebastian Zell

We study inflation driven by the Higgs field in the Einstein-Cartan formulation of gravity. In this theory, the presence of the Holst and Nieh-Yan terms with the Higgs field non-minimally coupled to them leads to three additional coupling constants. For a ...

Deep eyes: Joint depth inference using monocular and binocular cues

Siyuan Li, Yang Yang

Human visual system relies on both monocular focusness cues and binocular stereo cues to gain effective 3D perception. Correspondingly, depth from focus/defocus (DfF/DfD) and stereo matching are two most studied passive depth sensing schemes, which are tra ...

Case-Study on the Creep Behavior of Interconnected Timber Elements using Wood-Wood Connections

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Martin Thomas Nakad, Jean-François Bocquet

With the increasing use of automation and computer-aided manufacturing in timber construction, a standardized timber construction system using digitally produced wood-wood connections has recently been developed for basic building components. Its structura ...

Collisional gyrokinetic full-f particle-in-cell simulations on open field lines with PICLS

Stephan Brunner, Alberto Bottino

Applying gyrokinetic simulations in theoretical turbulence and transport studies for the plasma edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) presents significant challenges. To particularly account for steep density and temperature gradients in the SOL, the "full-f" co ...

Imaginary Multiplicative Chaos: Moments, Regularity And Connections To The Ising Model

Janne Matias Junnila

In this article we study imaginary Gaussian multiplicative chaos-namely a family of random generalized functions which can formally be written as e(iX(x)), where X is a log-correlated real-valued Gaussian field on R-d, that is, it has a logarithmic singula ...
