Shear and steel-fibre reinforcement for the punching resistance of flat slabs at internal and edge columns

Reinforced concrete flat slabs consist of a continuous, thin concrete plate that rests on a grid of columns. The supporting surface of the columns is very small compared to the floor plan dimensions, leading to concentrations of shear forces near the colum ...

How roughness emerges on natural and engineered surfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei

Roughness, defined as unevenness of material surfaces, plays an important role in determining how engineering components or natural objects interact with other bodies and their environment. The emergence of fractal roughness on natural and engineered surfa ...

Rank-Adaptive Time Integration Of Tree Tensor Networks

Gianluca Ceruti

A rank-adaptive integrator for the approximate solution of high-order tensor differential equations by tree tensor networks is proposed and analyzed. In a recursion from the leaves to the root, the integrator updates bases and then evolves connection tenso ...

Caching and Neutrality

Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Muhammad Abdullah, Aikaterini Argyraki

We are used to defining network neutrality as absence of traffic differentiation, like policing or shaping. These mechanisms, however, are often not what determines end-users’ quality of experience (QoE). Most content today is accessed through edge caches, ...

The fundamental relation between electrohelicity and molecular optical activity

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Electrohelicity arises in molecules such as allene and spiropentadiene when their symmetry is reduced and helical frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) appear. Such molecules are optically active and electrohelicity has been suggested as a possible design prin ...

Robust Analog Multisensory Array System for Lossy Capacitive Sensors Over Long Distances

Sandro Carrara, Andromachi Tsirou, Amar Kapic

A robust capacitive multisensory readout system is presented in this article. The system consists of a few thousand lossy capacitive-based sensors that can be modeled as a parallel connection of sensor capacitor and undesirable leakage resistance. The real ...

A review of the modeling approaches of the lightning M-component with special attention to their current and electric field characteristics

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Carlo Alberto Nucci, Qi Li

In this paper, we present the characteristics of current, electric fields and modeling approaches of lightning M-component mode of charge transfer. We consider both the classical M-components (occurring after return strokes) and M-component-type ICC (Initi ...

Lie groups in the symmetric group: Reducing Ulam's problem to the simple case

Nicolas Monod

Ulam asked whether all Lie groups can be represented faithfully on a countable set. We establish a reduction of Ulam's problem to the case of simple Lie groups. In particular, we solve the problem for all solvable Lie groups and more generally Lie groups w ...

Self-Structuring Of Cellular And Channel Type In Complex System Dynamics In The Framework Of Scale Relativity Theory

Maria-Alexandra Paun

In the framework of Scale Relativity Theory, by analyzing dynamics of complex system structural units based on multifractal curves, both Schrodinger and Madelung approaches are functional and complementary. The Madelung selected approach involve synchronou ...

An Accelerated First-Order Method for Non-convex Optimization on Manifolds

Nicolas Boumal, Christopher Arnold Criscitiello

We describe the first gradient methods on Riemannian manifolds to achieve accelerated rates in the non-convex case. Under Lipschitz assumptions on the Riemannian gradient and Hessian of the cost function, these methods find approximate first-order critical ...
