Out-of-plane behaviour of reinforced concrete members with single reinforcement layer subjected to cyclic axial loading: beam-column element simulation

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso

Earthquake loads can induce out-of-plane deformations in thin reinforced concrete (RC) walls that may lead to member out-of-plane failure or cause a premature in-plane collapse. Such instability phenomena have been observed after the recent earthquakes in ...

A Fully-Digital Spectrum Shaping Signaling for Serial-Data Transceiver with Crosstalk and ISI Reduction Property in Multi-Drop Memory Interfaces

Seyed Armin Tajalli, Yusuf Leblebici, Gain Kim, Kiarash Gharibdoust

An efficient signaling scheme for serial-data transceivers (TRXs) has been proposed, which can properly reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) and crosstalk (Xtalk) in memory interfaces. The proposed architecture relies on fully-digital implementation rath ...

The GBS code for tokamak scrape-off layer simulations

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Trach-Minh Tran, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Annamaria Mosetto, Christoph Wersal

We describe a new version of GBS, a 3D global, flux-driven plasma turbulence code to simulate the turbulent dynamics in the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL), superseding the code presented by Ricci et al. (2012) [14]. The present work is driven by the object ...

Giant apparent lattice distortions in STM images of corrugated sp2-hybridised monolayers

Alfredo Pasquarello, Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Markus Etzkorn, Donat Fabian Natterer, Anne Lehnert, Quentin Dubout, Laurent Claude

We report on the strengths and limitations of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) when used for characterising atomic-scale features of quasi two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and single layers of hexagonal boron nitride, which may present stron ...

Swelling Behavior and Nanomechanical Properties of (Peptide-Modified) Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and Poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) Brushes

Harm-Anton Klok, Kislon Voitchovsky, Nicolas Bertrand Schüwer, Solenne Desseaux, Juan Pablo Hinestrosa Salazar

Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) (PPEGMA) brushes represent a class of thin, surface-tethered polymer films that have been extensively used e.g. to generate non-biofouling surfaces or as model systems t ...

Ultrafast Band Structure Control of a Two-Dimensional Heterostructure

Jens Christian Johannsen

The electronic structure of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors can be significantly altered by screening effects, either from free charge carriers in the material or by environmental screening from the surrounding medium. The physical properties of 2D sem ...

Methods and systems for pin-efficient memory controller interface using vector signaling codes for chip-to-chip communications

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Anant Pratap Singh

Systems and methods are described for transmitting data over physical channels to provide a high speed, low latency interface such as between a memory controller and memory devices. Controller-side and memory-side embodiments of such channel interfaces are ...

Presentation Attack Detection Using Long-Term Spectral Statistics for Trustworthy Speaker Verification

Sébastien Marcel, Hannah Muckenhirn

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing countermeasures against non zero-effort attacks for speaker verification systems. Until now, the focus has been on logical access attacks, where the spoofed samples are injected into the syst ...

Principle and modelling of Transient Current Technique for interface traps characterization in monolithic pixel detectors obtained by CMOS-compatible wafer bonding

Jean-Michel Sallese, Alessandro Mapelli

In the framework of monolithic silicon radiation detectors, a fabrication process based on a recently developed silicon wafer bonding technique at low temperature was proposed. Ideally, this new process would enable direct bonding of a read-out electronic ...

Surface trap mediated electronic transport in biofunctionalized silicon nanowires

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Francesca Puppo, Massimiliano Di Ventra

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs), fabricated via a top-down approach and then functionalized with biological probes, are used for electrically-based sensing of breast tumor markers. The SiNWs, featuring memristive-like behavior in bare conditions, show, in the pr ...
