Low-dimensional data embedding for scalable astronomical imaging in the SKA telescope era

Vijay Kartik

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences known to humanity. We have been studying celestial objects for millennia, and continue to peer deeper into space in our thirst for knowledge about our origins and the universe that surrounds us. Radio astronomy -- ob ...

Development and Characterisation of Silicon Photomultiplier Multichannel Arrays for the Readout of a Large Scale Scintillating Fibre Tracker

Axel Kuonen

The current LHCb detector will continue collecting data until the long shutdown 2 (2019/2020). It will be upgraded in order to operate at higher luminosity. To achieve this, two major changes are required. First the Level-0 hardware trigger limited to 1,M ...

Bayesian approach to SETI

Claudio Grimaldi

The search for technosignatures from hypothetical galactic civilizations is going through a new phase of intense activity. For the first time, a significant fraction of the vast search space is expected to be sampled in the foreseeable future, potentially ...

Studies on fluid dynamics of the flow field and gas transfer in orbitally shaken tubes

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Xiao Shen, Dominique Terry Monteil Jr

Orbitally shaken cylindrical bioreactors [OrbShake bioreactors (OSRs)] without an impeller or sparger are increasingly being used for the suspension cultivation of mammalian cells. Among small volume OSRs, 50-mL tubes with a ventilated cap (OSR50), origina ...

Undulations on the surface of elongated bubbles in confined gas-liquid flows

John Richard Thome, Alessio Ferrari, Mirco Magnini

A systematic analysis is presented of the undulations appearing on the surface of long bubbles in confined gas-liquid flows. CFD simulations of the flow are performed with a self-improved version of the open-source solver ESI OpenFOAM (release 2.3.1), for ...

Virus transfer at the skin-liquid interface

Tamar Kohn, Timothy R. Julian, Heather Nicole Bischel-Magnan

Understanding virus transfer between liquid and skin is necessary to estimate transmission during water-related activities. In the present study, we modeled virus transfer from liquid-to-skin and skin-to-liquid. Specifically, we performed human subject stu ...

Pressure drop prediction in annular two-phase flow in macroscale tubes and channels

John Richard Thome, Andrea Cioncolini

A new prediction method for the frictional pressure drop in annular two-phase flow is presented. This new prediction method focuses on the aerodynamic interaction between the liquid film and the gas core in annular flows, and explicitly takes into account ...

Assemblies of gold nanoparticles at liquid-liquid interfaces : from liquid optics to electrocatalysis

Evgeny Smirnov

The interface between two immiscible liquids, i.e. oil and water, is an extremely attractive scaffold to self-assemble nanoparticles (NP) in arranged films. The liquid-liquid interfaces (LLIs) are defect-free and pristine by the nature, they are transparen ...

Laser-Assisted Photoelectric Effect from Liquids

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Christopher Alexander Arrell, José Javier Pancracio Ojeda Andara, Jakob Grilj, Lars-Hendrik Mewes

The laser-assisted photoelectric effect from liquid surfaces is reported for the first time. Photoelectrons generated by 35.6 eV radiation from a liquid microjet of water under vacuum are dressed with (h) over bar omega = 1.55 eV laser field. The subsequen ...

Computer modelling of the surface tension of the gas-liquid and liquid-liquid interface

Dominic John Tildesley

This review presents the state of the art in molecular simulations of interfacial systems and of the calculation of the surface tension from the underlying intermolecular potential. We provide a short account of different methodological factors (size-effec ...
