Universal Casimir attraction between filaments at the cell scale

The electromagnetic Casimir interaction between dielectric objects immersed in salted water includes a universal contribution that is not screened by the solvent and therefore long-ranged. Here, we study the geometry of two parallel dielectric cylinders. W ...

Heuristic Estimation of the Vacuum Energy Density of the Universe: Part II-Analysis Based on Frequency Domain Electromagnetic Radiation

Marcos Rubinstein

In Part I of this paper, an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density of the universe was derived using an indirect and heuristic procedure. The derivation is based on a proposed thought experiment, according to which an electron is accelerated to ...

Chiral magnetohydrodynamics with zero total chirality

Kohei Kamada

We study the evolution of magnetic fields coupled with chiral fermion asymmetry in the framework of chiral magnetohydrodynamics with zero initial total chirality. The initial magnetic field has a turbulent spectrum peaking at a certain characteristic scale ...

Neural Energy Casimir Control for Port-Hamiltonian Systems

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Muhammad Zakwan, Liang Xu

The energy Casimir method is an effective controller design approach to stabilize port-Hamiltonian systems at a desired equilibrium. However, its application relies on the availability of suitable Casimir and Lyapunov functions, whose computation are gener ...

Microscopic interplay of temperature and disorder of a one-dimensional elastic interface

Elisabeth Agoritsas, Thierry Giamarchi

Elastic interfaces display scale-invariant geometrical fluctuations at sufficiently large lengthscales. Their asymptotic static roughness then follows a power-law behavior, whose associated exponent provides a robust signature of the universality class to ...

Linearized supergravity with a dynamical preferred frame

Sergey Sibiryakov

We study supersymmetric extension of the Einstein-aether gravitational model where local Lorentz invariance is broken down to the subgroup of spatial rotations by a vacuum expectation value of a timelike vector field called aether. Embedding aether into a ...

Dynamic force coefficients identification on air-lubricated herringbone grooved journal bearing

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

The Narrow Groove Theory (NGT) is commonly used to simulate and design grooved gas bearing. However, measurements of dynamic force coefficients of Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearings (HGJBs) is missing, hence the validation historic NGT has never been per ...

Beam transfer function measurements used to probe the transverse Landau damping at the LHC

Xavier Buffat, Tatiana Pieloni, Javier Barranco Garcia, Claudia Tambasco

The Landau damping mechanism stabilizes the impedance driven head-tail modes in hadron synchrotrons. Because of the frequent coherent beam instabilities observed in the Large Hadron Collider in 2012, the Landau damping of the beams was doubted. Therefore, ...

Thermal coarsening of individual titanate nanowires and their assemblies: Surface vs. bulk diffusion

László Forró, Luca Rossi, Endre Horvath, Sergiy Katrych, Massimo Spina, Laurent Syavoch Bernard, Xavier Berdat

The thermal coarsening of titanate nanowires was investigated from room temperature to 1000 degrees C by AFM, SEM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy. Phase transformation kinetics and the external morphology were studied in two configurations: i) as individual an ...

Hydration development and thermal performance of calcium sulphoaluminate cements containing microencapsulated phase change materials

Diana Londoño Zuluaga

Microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCM) incorporated in buildings walls can reduce indoor temperature fluctuations, conserving energy and enhancing thermal comfort. MPCM were incorporated in calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA) at high concentratio ...
