Bringing casting to microfabrication: processing and deformation of microcastings

Luciano Borasi

This work extends the range of pathways for the production of metallic microcomponents by downscaling metal casting. This is accomplished by using either of two different molding techniques, namely femtosecond laser micromachining or lithographic silicon m ...

A Theory of Finite-Width Neural Networks: Generalization, Scaling Laws, and the Loss Landscape

Berfin Simsek

Deep learning has achieved remarkable success in various challenging tasks such as generating images from natural language or engaging in lengthy conversations with humans. The success in practice stems from the ability to successfully train massive neural ...

Reduced order modeling of parametrized pulsatile blood flows: Hematocrit percentage and heart rate

Ricardo Reyes Sotomayor

This paper numerically evaluates the accuracy and performance of a stabilized finite element Reduced Order Modelling (ROM) approach that is designed to simulate pulsatile blood flows. The method is able to estimate fluid flow parametric solutions of intere ...

Error scaling laws for kernel classification under source and capacity conditions

Lenka Zdeborová, Florent Gérard Krzakala, Bruno Loureiro, Hugo Chao Cui

In this manuscript we consider the problem of kernel classification. While worst-case bounds on the decay rate of the prediction error with the number of samples are known for some classifiers, they often fail to accurately describe the learning curves of ...

Hadronic nature of high-energy emission from the Galactic ridge

Andrii Neronov

We show that the IceCube observation of the Galactic neutrino-flux component confirms the hint of detection of neutrinos from the Galactic ridge (the inner part of the Milky Way disk within the Galactic longitude IlI < 30(degrees)), previously reported by ...

Seeing the forest for the trees through metabolic scaling

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan

We demonstrate that when power scaling occurs for an individual tree and in a forest, there is great resulting simplicity notwithstanding the underlying complexity characterizing the system over many size scales. Our scaling framework unifies seemingly dis ...

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 ...

3PAC: A Plug-and-Play System for Distributed Power Sharing and Communication in Modular Robots

Jamie Paik, Christoph Heinrich Belke, Kevin Andrew Holdcroft

In modular robotics, there is classically a compromise between coupling complexity and functionality. The mechanical and electrical designs are linked, such that adding electrical features often requires redesigning the mechanical components. However, incr ...

Calibration of ground surface albedo models

Christophe Ballif, Arttu Matias Tuomiranta

The emergence of bifacial photovoltaics as a serious option for large-scale power generation makes the accuracy of the in-situ estimation of ground surface albedo increasingly critical. Recent studies have evaluated the performance of different models but ...

Estimating the non-dimensional energy of vortex rings by modelling their roll-up

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Guillaume de Guyon-Crozier

The non-dimensional energy of starting vortex rings typically converges to values around 0.33 when they are created by a piston-cylinder or a bluff body translating at a constant speed. To explore the limits of the universality of this value and to analyse ...

Explosive fragmentation of Prince Rupert's drops leads to well-defined fragment sizes

Jean-François Molinari

Anyone who has ever broken a dish or a glass knows that the resulting fragments range from roughly the size of the object all the way down to indiscernibly small pieces: typical fragment size distributions of broken brittle materials follow a power law, an ...

True scale-free networks hidden by finite size effects

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan, Samir Suweis

We analyze about 200 naturally occurring networks with distinct dynamical origins to formally test whether the commonly assumed hypothesis of an underlying scale-free structure is generally viable. This has recently been questioned on the basis of statisti ...

Thermally activated flow in models of amorphous solids

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus, Marko Popovic, Wencheng Ji

Amorphous solids yield at a critical value Sigma(c) of the imposed stress Sigma through a dynamical phase transition. While sharp in athermal systems, the presence of thermal fluctuations leads to the rounding of the transition and thermally activated flow ...

A Scaling Law for SPAD Pixel Miniaturization

Edoardo Charbon, Kazuhiro Morimoto

The growing demands on compact and high-definition single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays have motivated researchers to explore pixel miniaturization techniques to achieve sub-10 μm pixels. The scaling of the SPAD pixel size has an impact on key perfo ...

Nematic quantum criticality in an Fe-based superconductor revealed by strain-tuning

Joshua Alan Wolfe Straquadine

Quantum criticality may be essential to understanding a wide range of exotic electronic behavior; however, conclusive evidence of quantum critical fluctuations has been elusive in many materials of current interest. An expected characteristic feature of qu ...

On the fractal structure of soil moisture fields

Andrea Rinaldo

We study the spatial structure of soil moisture fields within savanna ecosystems, whose persistence is vital because it is the driver of the entire ecological structure and function. These include changes in the physical and biogeochemical conditions of th ...

CODEX weak lensing mass catalogue and implications on the mass-richness relation

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

The COnstrain Dark Energy with X-ray clusters (CODEX) sample contains the largest flux limited sample of X-ray clusters at 0.35 < z < 0.65. It was selected from ROSAT data in the 10 000 square degrees of overlap with BOSS, mapping a total number of 2770 hi ...

Lifshitz point at commensurate melting of chains of Rydberg atoms

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

The recent investigation of chains of Rydberg atoms has brought back the problem of commensurateincommensurate transitions into the focus of current research. In two-dimensional classical systems or in one-dimensional quantum systems, the commensurate melt ...

A Low-noise CMOS SPAD Pixel with 12.1 ps SPTR and 3 ns Dead Time

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Francesco Gramuglia, Myung Jae Lee, Ming-Lo Wu

In this paper, we present the first CMOS SPAD with performance comparable or better than that of the best custom SPADs, to date. The SPAD-based design, fully integrated in 180 nm CMOS technology, achieves a peak PDP of 55% at 480nm with a very broad spectr ...

Halo Mass-concentration Relation at the High-mass End

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Ginevra Favole

The concentration-mass (c-M) relation encodes key information about the assembly history of dark matter halos. However, its behavior at the high mass end has not been measured precisely in observations yet. In this paper, we report the measurement of the h ...
