Rollable Multisegment Dielectric Elastomer Minimum Energy Structures for a Deployable Microsatellite Gripper

Herbert Shea, Volker Gass, Samuel Rosset, Jun Shintake, Muriel Richard, Irina Gavrilovich

Debris in space presents an ever-increasing problem for spacecraft in Earth orbit. As a step in the mitigation of this issue, the CleanSpace One (CSO) microsatellite has been proposed. Its mission is to perform active debris removal of a decommissioned nan ...

High-contrast Computational Caustic Design

Mark Pauly, Andrea Tagliasacchi, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Romain Pierre Testuz

We present a new algorithm for computational caustic design. Our algorithm solves for the shape of a transparent object such that the refracted light paints a desired caustic image on a receiver screen. We introduce an optimal transport formulation to esta ...

Science + Space + Society : Urbanity and the Risk of Methodological Communalism in Social Sciences of Space

Jacques Lévy

During the last decades, geography has lost its epistemological exceptionality, but is this enough? Social sciences are commonly threatened by methodological nationalism and, more generally, by methodological communalism, that is the corruption of a scient ...

De l'espace au cinéma

Jacques Lévy

l existe une ambiguïté sur la réalité de la présence de l’espace au cinéma. On pourrait dire que le cinéma est, par excellence, un art spatial. En fait, on peut discuter, avec des arguments forts, cette évidence apparente. Cet article s’intéresse plus part ...

Growth of TiO2/Cu films by HiPIMS for accelerated bacterial loss of viability

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Oualid Baghriche

This study shows the first complete report on ultrathin TiO2/Cu nano-particulate films sputtered by highly ionized pulsed plasma magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) leading to fast bacterial loss of viability. The Cu- and the TiO2/Cu sputtered films induced comp ...

Interacting populations in heterogeneous environments

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco

To optimally manage a metapopulation, managers and conservation biologists can favor a type of habitat spatial distribution (e.g. aggregated or random). However, the spatial distribution that provides the highest habitat occupancy remains ambiguous and num ...

A Cartographic Turn? Bridging the Gap between Sciences and Technologies of the Inhabited Space

Jacques Lévy

Modern cartography, grounded in the Euclidean concept of space and the mathematization of its language, has laid the foundation of academic geography and promoted its epistemic emergence as a scientific discipline. Developments over the last decades and th ...

COI gene reveals size-dependent high dispersal and low intra-specific diversity in free-living terrestrial protists (Euglyphida; Assulina)

Edward Mitchell, Enrique Lara, Thierry Jean Heger

Aim Propagule size and ecological requirements are believed to be major factors influencing the passive dispersal of free-living terrestrial protists. We compared the colonization potential of three closely related testate amoeba species (Assulina muscoru ...

Efficient characterization of high-dimensional parameter spaces for systems biology

Marc Hafner

Background: A biological system's robustness to mutations and its evolution are influenced by the structure of its viable space, the region of its space of biochemical parameters where it can exert its function. In systems with a large number of biochemica ...

Efficient multiple time scale molecular dynamics: Using colored noise thermostats to stabilize resonances

Michele Ceriotti

Multiple time scale molecular dynamics enhances computational efficiency by updating slow motions less frequently than fast motions. However, in practice, the largest outer time step possible is limited not by the physical forces but by resonances between ...
