Shearing and opening of a pre-existing discontinuity in response to fluid injection

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe, Ankit Gupta, Ankit Gupta

We investigate the fluid-driven growth of a shear crack along a frictional discontinuity and its transition to hydraulic fracturing (sometimes referred to as hydraulic jacking) under plane-strain conditions. We focus on the case of a constant friction coef ...

New particle formation event detection with Mask R-CNN

Lubna Dada

Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is an important source of climate-relevant aerosol particles which has been observed at many locations globally. To study this phenomenon, the first step is to identify whether an NPF event occurs or not on a given ...

OASE 108. Ups & Downs. Reception Histories in Architecture

Christophe van Gerrewey

What is good, less good, or bad architecture? This issue of OASE examines how shifting appreciations, for very diverse reasons, can function as a productive misunderstanding, and as a lever to advance architectural criticism and pry thinking about architec ...

Experimental Evaluation of Steel Columns under Seismic Hazard-Consistent Collapse Loading Protocols

Dimitrios Lignos

This paper presents results from 21 large-scale experiments on steel columns that examined their collapse behavior as related to steel moment resisting frames (MRFs). The test specimens included wide-flange and square hollow structural shapes (HSS) and wer ...

A data-driven polynomial approach to reproduce the scar tissue outgrowth around neural implants

Silvestro Micera

Despite the huge complexity of the foreign body reaction, a quantitative assessment over time of the scar tissue thickness around implanted materials is needed to figure out the evolution of neural implants for long times. A data-driven approach, based on ...

Efficient Workload Colocation in Modern Data Centers

Calin Iorgulescu

Despite the high costs of acquisition and maintenance of modern data centers, machine resource utilization is often low. Servers running online interactive services are over-provisioned to support peak load (which only occurs for a fraction of the time), d ...

Airline customers connection time preferences in domestic U.S. markets

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin

Within the United States, there have been evolving perceptions on the benefits and disadvantages of using peaked flight schedules. Arguments in favor of using peaked schedules have centered on a traditional assumption that consumers prefer itineraries with ...

Hydromechanical Aspects of CO2 Breakthrough into Clay-rich Caprock

Lyesse Laloui, Victor Vilarrasa Riano, Roman Makhnenko, Danila Mylnikov

Caprock formations are intended to prevent upwards carbon dioxide (CO2) migration to the surface during CO2 geological storage. Caprock interaction with CO2, as well as its potential consequences, requires to be predicted, and thus, need to be studied expe ...

Liquid CO2 processing of solid polylactide foam precursors

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, John Christopher Plummer, Yonghoon Yoon

Diffusion of CO2 in polylactide was modelled by assuming the diffusion coefficient to depend on CO2 concentration, c, according to D[c]=D[0]exp[Ac], where D[0] and A are empirical constants, with the aim of optimizing impregnation of nominally amorphous an ...

TiON and TiON-Ag sputtered surfaces leading to bacterial inactivation under indoor actinic light

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Michaël Bensimon, Rosendo Sanjines

This study reports the details Escherichia coli inactivation kinetics on TiON and TiON-Ag films sputtered on polyester by direct current reactive magnetron sputtering (DC) and pulsed magnetron sputtering (DCP) in an Ar/N2 /O2 atmosphere. The use of TiON le ...

Efficient sampling avoids the exponential wall in classical simulations of fidelity

Jiri Vanicek, Tomas Zimmermann, Cesare Mollica

We analyze the efficiency of available algorithms for the simulation of classical fidelity and show that their computational costs increase exponentially with the number of degrees of freedom. Then we present an algorithm for which the number of trajectori ...

Reusability of nanostencils for the patterning of Aluminum nanostructures by selective wet etching

Jürgen Brugger, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Andreea Veronica Savu, Oscar Vazquez Mena, Marc Antonius Friedrich van den Boogaart

One of the major advantages of stencil lithography is the possibility to use stencils many times. However, when stencils contain nanoapertures, the clogging of the membranes limits the useful life time of the stencils. The clogging is due to the accumulati ...
