Seismic Testing of Adjacent Interacting Masonry Structures – Analysis of a Blind Prediction

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic

Masonry aggregates, which emerged as layouts of cities and villages became denser, make up historical centres all over the world. In these aggregates, neighbouring structures may share structural walls that are joined at the interfaces by mortar or interlo ...

Fishing for complements with chord, scale, and rhythm nets

Daniel Harasim

The aim of this paper is to argue that complementation is an operation similarly fundamental to music theory as transposition and inversion. We focus on studying the chromatic complement mapping that translates diatonic seventh chords into 8-note scales wh ...

Seismic Testing of Adjacent Interacting Masonry Structures

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic

Masonry buildings form building aggregates around the world in historical centers, which developed as the layout of the city or village densified. In these aggregates, adjacent buildings can share structural walls, connected at the interfaces by interlocki ...

Shafranov shift correction to the Furth-Yoshikawa scaling of tokamak adiabatic compression

Olivier Sauter

In 1970, Furth and Yoshikawa (1970 Phys. Fluids 13 2593-6) introduced the scalings of adiabatic plasma compression. Basically, if the shape of the external plasma boundary and the aspect ratio are preserved during the compression, then the density, kinetic ...

CosmoLattice: A modern code for lattice simulations of scalar and gauge field dynamics in an expanding universe

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Adrien Florio, Wessel Valkenburg

This paper describes CosmoGattice, a modern package for lattice simulations of the dynamics of interacting scalar and gauge fields in an expanding universe. CosmoGattice incorporates a series of features that makes it very versatile and powerful: i) it is ...

Growth, timing, & trajectory of vortices behind a rotating plate

Diego Francescangeli

The presence of aerodynamic vortices is widespread in nature. They can be found at small scales near the wing tip of flying insects or at bigger scale in the form of hurricanes, cyclones or even galaxies. They are identified as coherent regions of high vor ...

Exploiting Marginal Stability in Slow-Fast Quasilinear Dynamical Systems

Alessia Ferraro

The accurate investigation of many geophysical phenomena via direct numerical simulations is computationally not possible nowadays due to the huge range of spatial and temporal scales to be resolved. Therefore advances in this field rely on the development ...

Hearing functional harmony in jazz: A perceptual study on music-theoretical accounts of extended tonality

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Steffen Alexander Herff, Daniel Harasim, Gabriele Cecchetti, Christoph Finkensiep

Functional harmony is an integral part of many repertoires in the Western musical practices, including both diatonic and extended tonality. In the latter context, music-theoretical accounts suggest that the three octatonic equivalence classes (OECs) consis ...

Sampling-Based AQP in Modern Analytical Engines

Anastasia Ailamaki, Viktor Sanca

As the data volume grows, reducing the query execution times remains an elusive goal. While approximate query processing (AQP) techniques present a principled method to trade off accuracy for faster queries in analytics, the sample creation is often consid ...

Finite element method–discrete element method bridging coupling for the modeling of gouge

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Manon Eugénie Voisin--Leprince

We discuss the multiscale modeling of a granular material trapped between continuum elastic domains. The amorphous granular region, usually termed “gouge,” is under high confinement pressure, to represent the loading of faults at depth. We model the granul ...

LOD-Homogenization of Multiscale Eddy Current Problem in Time Domain

Yves Perriard, Xiaotao Ren

Devices fabricated from Soft Magnetic Composites (SMCs) are gaining popularity in research and application. The multiscale characteristics require special attention. Solving the quasi-statics Maxwell’s equations on such devices consumes huge time and memor ...

Seismic testing of adjacent interacting masonry structures

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic

In many historical centres in Europe, stone masonry buildings are part of building aggregates, which developed when the layout of the city or village was densified. In these aggregates, adjacent buildings share structural walls to support floors and roofs. ...

Seeded Multimode Quasi-Phase-Matching in All-Optically Poled Silicon Nitride Waveguides

Camille Sophie Brès, Edgars Nitiss, Ozan Yakar

We demonstrate seeding-enabled all-optical poling of silicon nitride waveguides as short as 5 mm, and account for quasi-phase-matching (QPM) inside the waveguide between the fundamental mode of pump and higher order second-harmonic modes. ...

Axiomatic scale theory

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim

Scales are a fundamental concept of musical practice around the world. They commonly exhibit symmetry properties that are formally studied using cyclic groups in the field of mathematical scale theory. This paper proposes an axiomatic framework for mathema ...

Shake table testing of aggregate masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic

Masonry building aggregates can be found throughout historical city centers of Europe. Adjacent buildings have often developed during the long densification process, without consistent planning or engineering. It is common for neighboring units to share a ...

Quantifying high-order interdependencies via multivariate extensions of the mutual information

Michael Christoph Gastpar

This paper introduces a model-agnostic approach to study statistical synergy, a form of emergence in which patterns at large scales are not traceable from lower scales. Our framework leverages various multivariate extensions of Shannon's mutual information ...
