Genetic-optimised aperiodic code for distributed optical fibre sensors

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Simon Adrien Zaslawski, Sheng Wang, Jian Wu

Distributed optical fibre sensors deliver a map of a physical quantity along an optical fibre, providing a unique solution for health monitoring of targeted structures. Considerable developments over recent years have pushed conventional distributed sensor ...

Buoyancy-driven melting and solidification heat transfer analysis in encapsulated phase change materials

Sophia Haussener, Nithin Mallya

Controlled melting and solidification in encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) is of practical interest, for example, in latent heat storage applications. The choice of PCMs and the dynamic heat transfer characteristics during phase change - affecting ...

On some graph-based two-sample tests for high dimension, low sample size data

Soham Sarkar

Testing for equality of two high-dimensional distributions is a challenging problem, and this becomes even more challenging when the sample size is small. Over the last few decades, several graph-based two-sample tests have been proposed in the literature, ...

Instability of a thin viscous film flowing under an inclined substrate: the emergence and stability of rivulets

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Gaëtan Pierre Clément Lerisson

We study the pattern formation of a thin film flowing under an inclined planar substrate. The phenomenon is studied in the context of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability using the lubrication equation. Inspired by experimental observations, we numerically stud ...

On the relaxed maximum-likelihood blind MIMO channel estimation for orthogonal space-time block codes

Kamran Kalbasi

This paper concerns the maximum-likelihood channel estimation for MIMO systems with orthogonal space-time block codes when the finite alphabet constraint of the signal constellation is relaxed. We study the channel coefficients estimation subspace generate ...

Antiferromagnetic fluctuations and charge carrier localization in ferromagnetic bilayer manganites: electrical resistivity scales exponentially with short-range order controlled by temperature and magnetic field

The compound La2-2xSr1+2xMn2O7,x= 0.30-0.40, consists of bilayers of ferromagnetic metallic MnO(2)sheets that are separated by insulating layers. The materials show colossal magnetoresistance-a reduction in resistivity of up to two orders of magnitude in a ...

Progress in modelling fast-ion D-alpha spectra and neutral particle analyzer fluxes using FIDASIM

Alexander Karpushov

FIDASIM is a code that models signals produced by charge-exchange reactions between neutrals and ions (both fast and thermal) in magnetically confined plasmas. With the ion distribution function as input, the code predicts the efflux to a neutral particle ...

Patterns and driving forces of dimensionality-dependent charge density waves in 2H-type transition metal dichalcogenides

László Forró, Helmuth Berger

Charge density wave (CDW) is a startling quantum phenomenon, distorting a metallic lattice into an insulating state with a periodically modulated charge distribution. Astonishingly, such modulations appear in various patterns even within the same family of ...

Analysis of volumetric mass transfer coefficient (k(L)a) in small- (250 mL) to large-scale (2500 L) orbitally shaken bioreactors

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Likuan Zhu

In this study, the combination of dimensional analysis (DA) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to predict the volumetric mass transfer coefficient (k(L)a) values under different operating conditions for orbitally shaken bioreactors (OSRs) with diffe ...
