Verification of the Fourier-enhanced 3D finite element Poisson solver of the gyrokinetic full-f code PICLS

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Moahan Murugappan, Alberto Bottino

We introduce and derive the Fourier -enhanced 3D electrostatic field solver of the gyrokinetic full -f PIC code PICLS. The solver makes use of a Fourier representation in one periodic direction of the domain to make the solving of the system easily paralle ...

Development of Sustainable Carbohydrate-Based Solvents by Acetal Functionalisation of Biomass

Anastasiia Komarova

Organic solvents are ubiquitous in industrial and domestic applications from the production of pharmaceuticals to household consumer products. The negative impact of most traditional solvents, especially aprotic types, on the environment, health, and safet ...

Why is the winner the best?

Gabriel Girard, Jian Wang, Ho Ling Li, Adrien Raphaël Depeursinge, Yong Yang, Fan Xia, Xiao Wang, Jing Li, Hui Wang

International benchmarking competitions have become fundamental for the comparative performance assessment of image analysis methods. However, little attention has been given to investigating what can be learnt from these competitions. Do they really gener ...

Better Trees for Santa Claus

Etienne Michel François Bamas, Lars Rohwedder

We revisit the problem max-min degree arborescence, which was introduced by Bateni et al. [STOC'09] as a central special case of the general Santa Claus problem, which constitutes a notorious open question in approximation algorithms. In the former problem ...

Leukocyte Count and Coronary Artery Disease Events in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: A Longitudinal Study

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Leukocyte count is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) events in the general population. Here we show that leukocytes are independently associated with CAD events in people with HIV in Switzerland, after adjusting for traditional and HIVrelated r ...

Sustainability and Ethicality are Peripheral to Students’ Software Design

Bryan Alexander Ford, Siara Ruth Isaac, Pierluca Borsò, Aditi Kothiyal

The conceptual design phase is a fascinating moment to observe how a design task is interpreted, as the (often implicit) relative importance students accord to the various requirements and constraints offers a window into the thinking underpinning their de ...

Educating Engineering Students to Address Bias and Discrimination Within Their Project Teams

Roland John Tormey, Siara Ruth Isaac, Nihat Kotluk

What training should engineering students receive to enable them to contribute to reducing bias, discrimination and the persistent lack of diversity in engineering? Collaboration is central to professional engineering work and, consequently, teamwork and g ...

The aging brain as a model to understand motor skill acquisition in humans and its restoration using non-invasive brain stimulation

Pablo Maceira Elvira

Motor skill acquisition is essential to our survival, as it enables an efficient interaction with the changing world around us. The acquisition of novel sequential tasks, of particular relevance due to their pervasiveness in everyday life activities, can b ...

Observational signatures of galactic turbulent dynamos

Jennifer Waltraud Schober, Abhijit Bhausaheb Bendre

We analyse the observational signatures of galactic magnetic fields that are self-consistently generated in magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interstellar medium through turbulence driven by supernova (SN) explosions and differential rotation. In part ...

Time-evolution of local information: Thermalization dynamics of local observables

Loïc Jean Pierre Herviou

Quantum many-body dynamics generically result in increasing entanglement that eventually leads to thermalization of local observables. This makes the exact description of the dynamics complex despite the apparent simplicity of (high-temperature) thermal st ...
