A two-level time step technique for the partitioned solution of one-dimensional arterial networks

Simone Deparis, Adelmo Cristiano Innocenza Malossi

In this work a numerical strategy to address the solution of the blood flow in one-dimensional arterial networks through a topology-based decomposition is presented. Such decomposition results in the local analysis of the blood flow in simple arterial segm ...

Determination of nanoparticle size distribution together with density or molecular weight by 2D analytical ultracentrifugation

Francesco Stellacci, Randy Patrick Carney, Jiwon Kim

Nanoparticles are finding many research and industrial applications, yet their characterization remains a challenge. Their cores are often polydisperse and coated by a stabilizing shell that varies in size and composition. No single technique can character ...

A combination of the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds aimed at modelling electrical conductivity and permittivity of variably saturated porous media

Alessandro Brovelli

In this paper we propose a novel theoretical model for the dielectric response of variably saturated porous media. A model is constructed for fully saturated porous media as a combination of the well established Hashin and Shtrikman [1962] bounds and Archi ...

On the scaling of polar codes: II. The behavior of un-polarized channels

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani

We provide upper and lower bounds on the escape rate of the Bhattacharyya process corresponding to polar codes where transmission takes place over the the binary erasure channel. More precisely, we bound the exponent of the number of sub-channels whose Bha ...

Haptic/VR Assessment Tool for Fine Motor Control

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Olivier Lambercy, Evren Samur, Christophe Emery

The Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT) is routinely used in clinical environments to evaluate a patient’s fine hand control. A physician measures the total time required to insert nine pegs into nine holes and obtains information on the dexterity of the patient. Ev ...

Quantitative microstructural characterisation of cement paste submitted to different moderate temperature and loading conditions

Karen Scrivener, Emmanuel Gallucci

The temperature is known to influence the strength and durability of concrete. Temperature has also a great influence on the creep of cementitious materials. Previous investigations have not provided a complete understanding of these effects; in particular ...

On Large Deviation Regimes For Random Media Models

Thomas Mountford, Damien Gauthier, Michael Cranston

The focus of this article is on the different behavior of large deviations of random subadditive functionals above the mean versus large deviations below the mean in two random media models. We consider the point-to-point first passage percolation time a(n ...

Guideline for Use of Fibre Optic Sensors

Luc Thévenaz

Development of standards and guidelines for performance specifications and testing for fibre optic sensors has been discussed since the mid-nineties of the last century in the scientific community as well as in the industry. Very global standards for the u ...

Edge states intermediate between laminar and turbulent dynamics in pipe flow

Tobias Schneider

We studied the dynamics near the boundary between laminar and turbulent dynamics in pipe flow. This boundary contains invariant dynamical states that are attracting when the dynamics is confined to the boundary. These states can be found by controlling a s ...

Observable Subspaces for 3D Human Motion Recovery

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Andrea Fossati

The articulated body models used to represent human motion typically have many degrees of freedom, usually expressed as joint angles that are highly correlated. The true range of motion can therefore be represented by latent variables that span a low-dimen ...
