A novel approach to ion-ion Langevin self-collisions in particle-in-cell modules applied to hybrid MHD codes

Jonathan Graves

In order to have a better closure for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations, a common approach is to obtain the ion fluid pressure tensor by directly computing the moments of an ion distribution function, obtained by a Particle-in-cell (PIC) solver of the V ...

Satellite galaxies in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation with sterile neutrino dark matter

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

The sterile neutrino is a viable darkmatter candidate that can be produced in the early Universe via non-equilibrium processes, and would therefore possess a highly non-thermal spectrum of primordial velocities. In this paper we analyse the process of stru ...

Traveling Salesman in Reverse: Conditional Markov Entropy for Trajectory Segmentation

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Mohamed Kafsi

We are interested in inferring the set of waypoints (or intermediate destinations) of a mobility trajectory in the absence of timing information. We find that, by mining a dataset of real mobility traces, computing the entropy of conditional Markov traject ...

Statistical-thermodynamics modelling of the built environment in relation to urban ecology

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

Various aspects of the built environment have important effects on ecology. Providing suitable metrics for the built forms so as to quantify and model their internal relations and external ecological footprints, however, remains a challenge. Here we provid ...

Neighbourhood morphology and solar irradiance in relation to urban climate

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Dan Assouline, Govinda Upadhyay

Assessing the relationship between neighbourhood morphology and urban climate is becoming increasingly important as cities continue to grow and the climate continues to change. Here we focus on the impact of (1) shapes and sizes of buildings, (2) street la ...

Modular organization of reaching and grasping movements investigated using EEG microstates

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Silvestro Micera, Robert Leeb, Elvira Pirondini, Martina Coscia, Jesús Minguillón Campos

How movements are generated and controlled by the central nervous system (CNS) is still not well understood. In this work, we tested the hypothesis of a modular organization of the brain activity during the execution of voluntary movements. In particular, ...

Thermal Conductivity of Graphene and Graphite: Collective Excitations and Mean Free Paths

Nicola Marzari, Andrea Cepellotti, Giorgia Fugallo

We characterize the thermal conductivity of graphite, monolayer graphene, graphane, fluorographane, and bilayer graphene, solving exactly the Boltzmann transport equation for phonons, with phononphonon collision rates obtained from density functional pertu ...
