Throughout its historical development, hydrology as an earth science, but especially as a problem-centred engineering discipline has largely relied (quite successfully) on the assumption of stationarity. This includes assuming time invariance of boundary c ...
As follow-up of the benchmark activity of ICRF full-wave codes within the EUROfusion Code Development for Integrated Modelling project (WPCD), a simple-to-complex approach has been devised for verification of the European ICRF codes, imported in the Europe ...
We track the secondary bifurcations of coherent states in plane Couette flow and show that they undergo a periodic doubling cascade that ends with a crisis bifurcation. We introduce a symbolic dynamics for the orbits and show that the ones that exist fall ...
In linearly stable shear flows, turbulence spontaneously decays with a characteristic lifetime that varies with Reynolds number. The lifetime sharply increases with Reynolds number so that a possible divergence marking the transition to sustained turbulenc ...
We propose to combine the specific knowledge and skills from both Social sciences teams and architecture and urban design teams around the spatial dimension of the events and phenomena behind the Arab Spring. It is important to note that the initial and th ...
Two hydrophobic pyrenyl-containing cycloplatinate complexes (2-(1-pyrenyl)pyridine)Pt(acac) (Pt-1) and {2-(4-(1-pyrenyl)phenyl)pyridine}Pt(acac) (Pt-2) (acac = acetylacetonato) have been encapsulated in the hexacationic water-soluble metalla-cage [(p-cymen ...
In many physical, technological, social, and economic applications, one is commonly faced with the task of estimating statistical properties, such as mean first passage times of a temporal continuous process, from empirical data (experimental observations) ...
In linearly stable shear flows at moderate Reynolds number, turbulence spontaneously decays despite the existence of a codimension-one manifold, termed the edge, which separates decaying perturbations from those triggering turbulence. We statistically anal ...
The city is a kind of complex system being capable of auto-organization of its programs and adapts a principle of economy in its form generating process. A new concept of dynamic centre in urban system, called "the programmatic moving centre", can be used ...
In parallel shear flows like pipe flow or plane Couette flow, laminar and turbulent dynamics coexist. The boundary between the two types of dynamics shows up clearly in studies that monitor the life time of a perturbation, i.e. the time it takes to relamin ...
