Interaction between counterpropagating Rossby waves and capillary waves in planar shear flows

A counterintuitive destabilizing effect of the surface tension in planar wakes has been observed by Tammisola et al. ["Effect of surface tension on global modes of confined wake flows," Phys. Fluids 23, 014108 (2011)] and Biancofiore et al. ["Direct numeri ...

Stress pulls us apart: Anxiety leads to differences in competitive confidence under stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Samuel Bendahan, Fiona Hollis, John Christian Thoresen, Lorenz Goette

Social competition is a fundamental mechanism of evolution and plays a central role in structuring individual interactions and communities. Little is known about the factors that affect individuals’ competitive success, particularly in humans. Key factors ...

Analysis of Femtosecond Electron Bunches at the SwissFEL Injector Test Facility

Bennie Smit

The SwissFEL (Swiss Free Electron Laser) is a free electron laser which is being built at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The SwissFEL will be a user facility to study processes on unexplored scales of space and time. In order to achieve these aims, X-ray pul ...

Bichiral structure of ferroelectric domain walls driven by flexoelectricity

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Petr Yudin

The influence of flexoelectric coupling on the internal structure of neutral domain walls in the tetragonal phase of perovskite ferroelectrics is studied. The effect is shown to lower the symmetry of 180 degrees walls which are oblique with respect to the ...

Modeling the Impacts of Climate Change on the Energy Sector: a Swiss perspective

Marc Vielle, Camille Gonseth

When speaking of energy production and consumption in the context of climate change, the interest usually lies in mitigation policies and measures, i.e. the energy system is seen as an emitter of greenhouse gases. This paper takes a different approach and ...

A Bimodal Sound Source Model for Vehicle Tracking in Traffic Monitoring

Jean-Marc Odobez, Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Patrick Marmaroli

The paper addresses road traffic monitoring using a compact microphone array. More precisely, estimation of both speed and wheelbase distance of detected vehicles is performed. The detection algorithm is based on the comparison between theoretical and meas ...

Magnetic field sensor measuring a direction of a magnetic field in a plane and current sensor

Radivoje Popovic, Mirjana Banjevic

A magnetic field sensor for measuring a direction of a magnetic field in a plane comprises two sensing structures (1A 1B) that can be operated as a rotating Hall element. The two Hall elements are rotated in discrete steps in opposite directions. Such a ma ...

Temporally Consistent Layer Depth Ordering Via Pixel Voting For Pseudo 3D Representation

Engin Türetken

A new region-based depth ordering algorithm is proposed based on the segmented motion layers with affine motion models. Starting from an initial set of layers that are independently extracted for each frame of an input sequence, relative depth order of eve ...

Near-field analysis of surface electromagnetic waves in the bandgap region of a polymeric grating written on a one- dimensional photonic crystal

Hans Peter Herzig, Tristan Sfez, Francesco Michelotti

The spatial distribution of surface electromagnetic waves on a one-dimensional photonic crystal with a polymeric grating on top is mapped using a multiheterodyne scanning near-field optical microscope. The grating opens a bandgap. At the band edges, a stat ...

Bootstrap current compensation with electron-cyclotron waves in 3D reactor-size configurations

Sergi Ferrando I Margalet

In magnetic confinement devices, the inhomogeneity of the confining magnetic field along a magnetic field line generates the trapping of particles (with low ratio of parallel to perpendicular velocities) within local magnetic wells. One of the consequences ...
