Nonlinear storage-discharge relations may explain important hydrologic features frequently observed under a variety of environmental conditions. In this paper the catchment dynamic storage problem is addressed by incorporating nonlinear storage-discharge r ...
This study is part of a long term study on a male rat model of peripubertal stress in the Laboratory of Behavioural Genetics that shows increase aggressive behaviours against their partners. We are using here these rats in order to create a female rat mode ...
Modeling the acoustical process of soft biological tissue imaging and understanding the consequences of the approximations required by. such modeling are key steps for accurately simulating ultrasonic scanning as well as estimating the scattering coefficie ...
This paper presents a systematic analysis of the motion of microscale structures actuated by flagellated bacteria. We perform the study both experimentally and theoretically. We use a blotting procedure to attach flagellated bacteria to a buoyancy-neutral ...
We report on the mechanical characterization and modeling of a non-prestretched dielectric elastomer diaphragm microactuator with ion-implanted electrodes under the influence of a distributed load (pressure). Thin polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) membranes (30 u ...
This paper describes an agent-based model of socio-spatial segregation, result of a synthesis between « Schelling’s spatial segregation model » and a demographc model of dependency between household fertility rates and socio-economical status of their desc ...
The gradual transformation of a mushy zone during alloy solidification, from a continuous liquid film network to a fully coherent solid, has been simulated using a granular model. Based on a Voronoi tessellation of a random set of nucleation centers, solid ...
We study the competition between antiferromagnetic order and valence-bond-crystal formation in a two-dimensional frustrated spin-1/2 model. The J(1)-J(2) model on the square lattice is further frustrated by introducing products of three-spin projectors whi ...
We review the importance of the physical mechanisms involved in river meandering by comparing some existing linear models and extensions thereof. Such models are hierarchically derived from a common and general mathematical framework and then analyzed with ...
Networks on Chips (NoCs) are required to tackle the increasing delay and poor scalability issues of bus-based communication architectures. Many of today’s NoC designs are based on single path routing. By utilizing multiple paths for routing, congestion in ...
