Crack patterns of 100-nm thick silicon oxide coatings on poly(ethylene terephthalate), polypropylene and polyamide films are analyzed under equibiaxial stress loading. The loading is achieved by means of a bulging cell mounted under an optical microscope w ...
Ecologists and economists try to explain collective behavior in terms of competitive systems of selfish individuals with the ability to learn from the past. Statistical physicists have been investigating models which might contribute to the understanding o ...
This paper provides an efficient method for analyzing the error probability of the belief propagation (BP) decoder applied to LT Codes. Each output symbol is generated independently by sampling from a distribution and adding the input symbols corresponding ...
Interstitial fluid flow has been shown to affect the organization and behavior of cells in 3D environments in vivo and in vitro, yet the forces driving such responses are not clear. Due to the complex architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the ...
We present a channel geometry that allows for clean switching between different inlets of a microchip without any contamination of the inlets or the downstream flow. We drive this virtual valve with a pneumatic pressure setup that minimizes disturbance of ...
We address the problem of recognizing the visual focus of attention (VFOA) of meeting participants from their head pose and contextual cues. The main contribution of the paper is the use of a head pose posterior distribution as a representation of the head ...
Methodology was developed for quantifying the photocytotoxicity of fluoranthene to a gill cell line from rainbow trout for future use in screening polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for their relative photocytotoxicity to fish. Solubilization in a modified c ...
Advanced fenestration systems are increasingly being used to distribute solar radiation purposefully in buildings. Distribution of visible light and near infrared radiation can be optimized for daylighting and to reduce thermal loads. This can be achieved ...
In order to investigate cell-specific differences in the response of in vitro models to environmental toxicants, we compared the capacity of nine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to induce cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) in primary rainbow trout (Oncorhyn ...

This short note shows that the Lundberg's exponential upperbound in the ruin problem of non-life insurance with compound Poisson claims is also valid for the Poisson shot noise delayed claims model, and that the optimal exponent depends only on the distrib ...
