Self-sustained dynamics and forced resonant oscillations in flows: cross-junction jets and sloshing liquids

In engineering, oscillatory instabilities and resonances are often considered undesirable flow features and measures are taken to avoid them. This may include avoiding certain parametric regions or implementing control and mitigation strategies. However, t ...

Topology classification with deep learning to improve real-time event selection at the LHC

Roberto Castello

We show how an event topology classification based on deep learning could be used to improve the purity of data samples selected in real-time at the Large Hadron Collider. We consider different data representations, on which different kinds of multi-class ...

Comment on An additional challenge of Lake Kivu in Central Africa - upward movement of the chemoclines by Finn Hirslund

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

In a paper published earlier this year, Finn Hirslund suggested to release degassed deepwater from methane harvesting to the surface layer of Lake Kiwi in order to counteract an observed slow rising of the chemoclines in the lake. In this comment, we prese ...

Learning and Control of UAV maneuvers Based on Demonstrations

Aude Billard, Seyed Mohammad Khansari Zadeh

Many maneuvers of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) can be considered within a framework of trajectory following. Though this issue can differ from one application to another, they all share the same problem of finding an optimal path (or signal) to perform t ...
