Flash Melting Amorphous Ice

Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Gabriele Bongiovanni, Constantin Richard Krüger, Nathan Junior Mowry

Water can be vitrified if it is cooled at high rates, which makes it possible to outrun crystallization in so-called no man’s land, a range of deeply supercooled temperatures where water crystallizes rapidly. Here, we study the reverse process in pure wate ...

Distributed Lossy Computation with Structured Codes: From Discrete to Continuous Sources

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Sung Hoon Lim, Adriano Pastore, Chen Feng

This paper considers the problem of distributed lossy compression where the goal is to recover one or more linear combinations of the sources at the decoder, subject to distortion constraints. For certain configurations, it is known that codes with algebra ...

Design and computational optimization of compliance-matching aortic grafts

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas

Introduction: Synthetic vascular grafts have been widely used in clinical practice for aortic replacement surgery. Despite their high rates of surgical success, they remain significantly less compliant than the native aorta, resulting in a phenomenon calle ...

Spectroscopic Confirmation of CEERS NIRCam-selected Galaxies at z similar or equal to 8-10

Michaela Hirschmann

We present JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopy of seven galaxies selected from Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey NIRCam imaging with photometric redshifts z(phot) > 8. We measure emission line redshifts of z = 7.65 and 8.64 for two galaxies ...

Shannon Bounds on Lossy Gray-Wyner Networks

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Erixhen Sula

The Gray-Wyner network subject to a fidelity criterion is studied. Upper and lower bounds for the trade-offs between the private sum-rate and the common rate are obtained for arbitrary sources subject to mean-squared error distortion. The bounds meet exact ...

The end of urban sprawl? Internal migration across the rural-urban continuum in Switzerland, 1966-2018

Mathias Lerch

In high-income countries, migration redistributed populations from congested city centres into the sparsely populated outskirts, raising challenges to environmental and population health and the conservation of biodiversity. We evaluate whether this periur ...

Atmospheric biogenic volatile organic compounds in the Alaskan Arctic tundra: constraints from measurements at Toolik Field Station

Hélène Paule Angot

The Arctic is a climatically sensitive region that has experienced warming at almost 3 times the global average rate in recent decades, leading to an increase in Arctic greenness and a greater abundance of plants that emit biogenic volatile organic compoun ...

Scaling theory for the statistics of slip at frictional interfaces

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus

Slip at a frictional interface occurs via intermittent events. Understanding how these events are nucleated, can propagate, or stop spontaneously remains a challenge, central to earthquake science and tribology. In the absence of disorder, rate-and-state a ...

Ride-sharing with inflexible drivers in the Paris metropolitan area

Patrick Stefan Adriaan Stokkink

In ride-sharing, commuters with similar itineraries share a vehicle for their trip. Despite its clear benefits in terms of reduced congestion, ride-sharing is not yet widely accepted. We propose a specific ride-sharing variant, where drivers are completely ...

A Revisitation of Low-Rate Bounds on the Reliability Function of Discrete Memoryless Channels for List Decoding

Marco Bondaschi

We revise the proof of low-rate upper bounds on the reliability function of discrete memoryless channels for ordinary and list-decoding schemes, in particular Berlekamp and Blinovsky's zero-rate bound, as well as Blahut's bound for low rates. The available ...

A birth-death-migration model for life in astrophysical environments

Claudio Grimaldi

To assess the number of life-bearing worlds in astrophysical environments, it is necessary to take the intertwined processes of abiogenesis (birth), extinction (death), and transfer of life (migration) into account. We construct a mathematical model that i ...
