First-principle based predictions of the effects of negative triangularity on DTT scenarios

Olivier Sauter, Gabriele Merlo, Alberto Mariani

Plasmas with negative triangularity (NT) shape have been recently shown to be able to achieve H-mode levels of confinement in L-mode, avoiding detrimental edge localised modes. Therefore, this plasma geometry is now studied as a possible viable option for ...

Semiclassical Estimates for Eigenvalue Means of Laplacians on Spheres

Davide Buoso, Joachim Stubbe, Luigi Provenzano

We compute three-term semiclassical asymptotic expansions of counting functions and Riesz-means of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on spheres and hemispheres, for both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Specifically for Riesz-means we prove upper ...

A Fast Hybrid Pressure-Correction Algorithm for Simulating Incompressible Flows by Projection Methods

Jiannong Fang

To enforce the conservation of mass principle, a pressure Poisson equation arises in the numerical solution of incompressible fluid flow using the pressure-based segregated algorithms such as projection methods. For unsteady flows, the pressure Poisson equ ...

Moving beyond grand narratives and stigmatizations: provincializing the Green Revolution from Mexican fields

Marianna Fenzi

With the dissolution of the agricultural projects that the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) was leading in China in 1940, it is in Mexico that a new testing ground for development programs based on the dissemination of new agronomic knowledge opens up. Science ...

An Initial Alignment between Neural Network and Target is Needed for Gradient Descent to Learn

Emmanuel Abbé, Jan Hazla, Elisabetta Cornacchia

This paper introduces the notion of "Initial Alignment" (INAL) between a neural network at initialization and a target function. It is proved that if a network and a Boolean target function do not have a noticeable INAL, then noisy gradient descent on a fu ...
