Roughness Evolution Induced by Third-Body Wear

Jean-François Molinari, Tobias Brink, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez

Surface roughness is a key factor when it comes to friction and wear, as well as to other physical properties. These phenomena are controlled by mechanisms acting at small scales, in which the topography of apparently flat surfaces is revealed. Roughness i ...

Anthony C Davison and Igor Rodionov's contribution to the Discussion of 'Estimating means of bounded random variables by betting' by Waudby-Smith and Ramdas

Anthony Christopher Davison, Igor Rodionov

We derive confidence intervals (CIs) and confidence sequences (CSs) for the classical problem of estimating a bounded mean. Our approach generalizes and improves on the celebrated Chernoff method, yielding the best closed-form "empirical-Bernstein" CSs and ...

Architectural rehearsal: choreopolitical ecologies within a scripted world

Aurélie Dupuis

For several decades, the fields of dance and performance have been exploring the interplay between movement, conditioning, subjectivity and politics. If "choreopolice" help describe that conditioning regime, "choreopolitics" describe the ways in which a co ...

Modeling friction and wear using an adaptive discrete-continuum coupling

Manon Eugénie Voisin--Leprince

When two objects slide against each other, wear and friction occur at their interface. The accumulation of wear forms what is commonly referred to as a ``third-body''. Understanding third-body evolution has significant applications in industry, where contr ...

Young children can use their subjective straight-ahead to remap visuo-motor alterations

Jenifer Cléa Miehlbradt

Young children and adults process spatial information differently: the former use their bodies as primary reference, while adults seem capable of using abstract frames. The transition is estimated to occur between the 6th and the 12th year of age. The mech ...

Self-Interaction and Polarons in Density Functional Theory

Stefano Falletta

The electron self-interaction is a long-standing problem in density functional theory and is particularly critical in the description of polarons. Polarons are quasiparticles involving charge localization coupled with self-induced lattice distortions. Sinc ...

Hamiltonian reconstruction as metric for variational studies

Giuseppe Carleo

Variational approaches are among the most powerful techniques to approximately solve quantum many-body problems. These encompass both variational states based on tensor or neural networks, and parameterized quantum circuits in variational quantum eigensolv ...

ACACIA: a new method to produce on-the-fly merger trees in the RAMSES code

Mladen Ivkovic

The implementation of ACACIA, a new algorithm to generate dark matter halo merger trees with the Adaptive Mesh Refinement code RAMSES, is presented. The algorithm is fully parallel and based on the Message Passing Interface. As opposed to most available me ...

Roadmap on Machine learning in electronic structure

Michele Ceriotti, Andrea Grisafi, Max David Veit, Jigyasa Nigam

In recent years, we have been witnessing a paradigm shift in computational materials science. In fact, traditional methods, mostly developed in the second half of the XXth century, are being complemented, extended, and sometimes even completely replaced by ...

A simple theoretical model for estimating the frequency characteristics of black hole mergers

Roberto Guarino

Gravitational waves, despite predicted within the Theory of General Relativity about a century ago, were observed experi-mentally only in the last few years, thanks to the recent advances of the LIGO and Virgo detectors. In this work, we introduce a simple ...

On the Maximum Power Density of Implanted Antennas within Simplified Body Phantoms

Anja Skrivervik, Mingxiang Gao

With the application requirements of wireless technology in implantable bioelectronics, knowledge of the fundamental limits for implanted antennas becomes critical. In this work, we investigated the variation of maximum power density within simplified body ...

The long cross-over dynamics of capillary imbibition

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Spontaneous capillary imbibition is a classical problem in interfacial fluid dynamics with a broad range of applications, from microfluidics to agriculture. Here we study the duration of the cross-over between an initial linear growth of the imbibition fro ...

Many-Body Self-Interaction and Polarons

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta

We address the many-body self-interaction in relation to polarons in density functional theory. Our study provides (i) a unified theoretical framework encompassing many-body and one-body forms of self-interaction and (ii) an efficient semilocal scheme for ...

Universal pair polaritons in a strongly interacting Fermi gas

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) manipulates the coupling of light with matter, and allows several emitters to couple coherently with one light mode1. However, even in a many-body system, the light–matter coupling mechanism has so far been restricted t ...

Computational Analysis and Design of Structurally Stable Assemblies with Rigid Parts

Ziqi Wang

An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or functionality. Assemblies make it possible to fabricate large and complex objects with several small and simple parts. Such parts can be assembled and disassemble ...

A mechanistic model for the growth of cylindrical debris particles in the presence of adhesion

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese

The wear volume is known to keep increasing during frictional processes, and Archard notably proposed a model to describe the probability of wear particle formation upon asperity collision in a two-body contact configuration. While this model is largely ad ...
