Multi-physics modeling of VVERs with high fidelity high-resolution codes

The calculations performed for the design and operation of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) are a key factor for their safety analyses. The standard for the computational analysis of NPPs is the so called conventional approach, which relies on coarse mesh diffu ...

Design of Dynamic Tangible Workspaces for Games: Application on Robot-Assisted Upper Limb Rehabilitation

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Ayberk Özgür, Arzu Güneysu Özgür

A key element for the success of any game is its ability to produce a different experience at each round, thus keeping the player engagement high. This is particularly important for those games that also have a serious objective, such as gamified rehabilit ...

Diffraction artefacts from twins and stacking faults, and the mirage of hexagonal, polytypes or other superstructures

Cyril Cayron

Recently, a hexagonal phase has been reported in high carbon steels in several studies. Here, we show that the electron microscopy results used in these studies were erroneously interpreted. The extra-spots in the diffraction patterns and the odd contrasts ...

A note on discrete lattice-periodic sets with an application to Archimedean tilings

Matthias Schymura

Cao and Yuan obtained a Blichfeldt-type result for the vertex set of the edge-to-edge tiling of the plane by regular hexagons. Observing that the vertex set of every Archimedean tiling is the union of translates of a fixed lattice, we take a more general v ...

Ultrafast Structural Dynamics along the beta - gamma Phase Transition Path in MnAs

Eugenio Ferrari

We investigate the orthorhombic distortion and the structural dynamics of epitaxial MnAs layers on GaAs(001) using static and time-resolved x-ray diffraction. Laser-induced intensity oscillations of Bragg reflections allow us to identify the optical phonon ...

Creation of Faceted Polyhedral Microgels from Compressed Emulsions

Esther Amstad, Jing Fan

Compressed monodisperse emulsions in confined space exhibit highly ordered structures. The influence of the volume fraction and the confinement geometry on the organized structures is investigated and the mechanism by which structural transition occurs is ...

Hexagonal Patterning of the Insect Compound Eye: Facet Area Variation, Defects, and Disorder

Sangwoo Kim

The regular hexagonal array morphology of facets (ommatidia) in the Drosophila compound eye is accomplished by regulation of cell differentiation and planar cell polarity during development. Mutations in certain genes disrupt regulation, causing a breakdow ...

Symmetry breaking in hexagonal and cubic polymorphs of BaTiO3

Dragan Damjanovic, Alberto Biancoli

BaTiO3 appears in cubic and hexagonal variants, both of which are centrosymmetric. Samples of cubic BaTiO3 are known to exhibit breaking of the centric symmetry locally and globally. It has been proposed that the local symmetry breaking originates in polar ...

Piégeage optique résonant et analyse du mouvement de nanoparticules piégées dans des cristaux photoniques à cavités creuses

Mario Lucien Henri Tonin

Optical trapping was used for decades in biotechnology for a broad range of applications. It can be used for remote manipulation, application of pico-Newton forces and even study DNA processes. Nevertheless, optical trapping setups can be cumbersome. In or ...

Probable nature of higher-dimensional symmetries underlying mammalian grid-cell activity patterns

Alexander Mathis

Lattices abound in nature—from the crystal structure of minerals to the honey-comb organization of ommatidia in the compound eye of insects. These arrangements provide solutions for optimal packings, efficient resource distribution, and cryptographic proto ...
