This master thesis describes the development in the framework of Fluid- Structure Interaction (FSI) problems of an efficient and flexible technique treating the fluid-structure interface and mesh motion problems. The main idea is to build, through a new hi ...
The spin texture of the metallic two-dimensional electron system (root 3 x root 3)-Au/Ge(111) is revealed by fully three-dimensional spin-resolved photoemission, as well as by density functional calculations. The large hexagonal Fermi surface, generated by ...
In two experiments we investigated whether bistable visual perception is influenced by passive own body displacements due to vestibular stimulation. For this we passively rotated our participants around the vertical (yaw) axis while observing different rot ...
On-site drug testing using easily accessible body fluids, such as saliva, has gained a lot of importance both for road safety and forensic applications. However, saliva is a complex, inhomogeneous amalgam with many different compounds, whose concentrations ...
Recent experiments on DIII-D have focused on elucidating the drive mechanisms for intrinsic rotation in tokamak fusion plasmas. In H-mode plasmas, the effective torque at the edge (ρ > 0.8) associated with the intrinsic rotation shows a dependence on th ...
During severe seismic events the base of unanchored steel liquid-storage tanks can uplift, causing large inelastic rotation demands at the shell-to-base connections and large multi-axial stresses (radial tension and circumferential compression) in the tank ...
We prove that the multiplier algebra of the Drury-Arveson Hardy space H-n(2) on the unit ball in C-n has no corona in its maximal ideal space, thus generalizing the corona theorem of L. Carleson to higher dimensions. This result is obtained as a corollary ...
We report on a high-efficiency and self-priming active-valve micropump consisting of a microfluidic chamber structure in glass that is assembled with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastic sheet. The latter comprises two valving membranes and a central pump ...
The device (1 ) comprises an endoscopic interface (2) with a guiding tube (4) for guiding an endoscope, said tube (4) being mounted on bearings (5) for free rotation and comprising windows for allowing a contact between said endoscope and friction rollers ...
This letter relates to the development of satellite reflectarrays able to scan a single dual-polarized beam, based on monolayer resonating cells embedding digital microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). We study general topology constraints to be imposed on ...
