Meandering particle bunches and a link between averages of time series of particle counts and higher-order moments

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Fabian Manke

Time-averaged spatially resolved measurements are used in many fields of physics to determine spatial distributions of a physical quantity. Although one could think that time averaging suppresses all information on time variation, there are some situations ...

Indicators for measuring the contributions of individual knowledge brokers

An increasing number of knowledge brokers work at the interface between research, policy and practice. Their function is to facilitate processes to foster mutual learning among research, policy and practice. For some knowledge brokers, practical methodolog ...

Viscous Taylor droplets in axisymmetric and planar tubes: from Bretherton’s theory to empirical models

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Lailai Zhu

The aim of this study is to derive accurate models for quantities characterizing the dynamics of droplets of non-vanishing viscosity in capillaries. In particular, we propose models for the uniform-film thickness separating the droplet from the tube walls, ...

Disruption mitigation by injection of small quantities of noble gas in ASDEX Upgrade

Basil Duval, Emiliano Fable

The most recent experiments of disruption mitigation by massive gas injection in ASDEX Upgrade have concentrated on small-relatively to the past-quantities of noble gas injected, and on the search for the minimum amount of gas necessary for the mitigation ...

The Player Kernel: Learning Team Strengths Based on Implicit Player Contributions

Matthias Grossglauser, Lucas Maystre, Victor Kristof

In this work, we draw attention to a connection between skill-based models of game outcomes and Gaussian process classification models. The Gaussian process perspective enables a) a principled way of dealing with uncertainty and b) rich models, specified t ...

Ultrasonic driving method

Jacques Jacot

A method for driving a first component (11) into a second component (12) by superimposing a mechanical wave of ultrasonic frequency (18) onto the movement (17) of at least one of the components (11, 12). The method comprises a step of adjusting the paramet ...

Method and device for determining plasma characteristics

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne

The invention relates to a method and a device for determining plasma characteristics, the method comprising the steps of: - arranging a measurement probe (2) having a self-inductance in proximity to a plasma (3) to establish inductive coupling between the ...

Modelling of plasmonic systems : advanced numerical methods and applications

Raziman Thottungal Valapu

Metallic nanostructures interact in complex ways with light, forming the subject of plasmonics and bringing novel physical phenomena and practical applications. The fundamental and practical importance of plasmonics necessitates the development of a multit ...

Nanoscale Magnetometry with Single Fluorescent Nanodiamonds Manipulated in an Anti-Brownian Electrokinetic Trap

Metin Kayci

Studies on single-molecule spectroscopy and nanoscale detection have been remarkably driven by an interest to reveal quantum and conformational states of single particles, the intra-molecular dynamics and their response to physical observables hidden by en ...

Template-based Monocular 3-D Shape Reconstruction And Tracking Using Laplacian Meshes

Tien Dat Ngo

This thesis addresses the problem of recovering the 3-D shape of a deformable object in single images, or image sequences acquired by a monocular video camera, given that a 3-D template shape and a template image of the object are available. While being a ...
