KEAI PUBLISHING LTD2022Dynamical properties of a driven dissipative dimerized S=1/2 chain
We consider the dynamical properties of a gapped quantum spin system coupled to the electric field of a laser, which drives the resonant excitation of specific phonon modes that modulate the magnetic interactions. We deduce the quantum master equations gov ...
2021Optimum design of frame structures from a stock of reclaimed elements
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting
This paper presents optimization methods to design frame structures from a stock of existing elements. These methods are relevant when reusing structural elements over multiple service lives. Reuse has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of bu ...
2020The WORLD6 Integrated System Dynamics Model: Examples of Results from Simulations
The WORLD6 model is a fully integrated dynamic world systems model. It includes a biophysical global economic model, based on first principles of physics and thermodynamics, forcing it to be fully consistent with the underlying mass- and energy balances. T ...
Paul Scherrer Institute, World Resources Forum2019Essays on adaptation to rare disasters
