Optimizing Dynamic Aperture Studies with Active Learning

Tatiana Pieloni, Mike Seidel, Davide Di Croce, Ekaterina Krymova

Dynamic aperture is an important concept for the study of non-linear beam dynamics in circular accelerators. It describes the extent of the phase-space region where a particle's motion remains bounded over a given number of turns. Understanding the feature ...

Experimental observation of topological transition in linear and nonlinear parametric oscillators

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Benjamin Apffel

Parametric oscillators are examples of externally driven systems that can exhibit two stable states with opposite phase depending on the initial conditions. In this work, we propose to study what happens when the external forcing is perturbed by a continuo ...

Roughness Evolution Induced by Third-Body Wear

Jean-François Molinari, Tobias Brink, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez

Surface roughness is a key factor when it comes to friction and wear, as well as to other physical properties. These phenomena are controlled by mechanisms acting at small scales, in which the topography of apparently flat surfaces is revealed. Roughness i ...

Butterfly effects in perceptual development: A review of the 'adaptive initial degradation' hypothesis

Lukas Vogelsang

Human perceptual development evolves in a stereotyped fashion, with initially limited perceptual capabilities maturing over the months or years following the commencement of sensory experience into robust proficiencies. This review focuses on the functiona ...

Kinetics of information scrambling in correlated metals: Disorder-driven transition from shock wave to Fisher or Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov dynamics

Camille Didier Georges Aron

Quenched disorder slows down the scrambling of quantum information. Using a bottom-up approach, we formulate a kinetic theory of scrambling in a correlated metal near a superconducting transition, following the scrambling dynamics as the impurity scatterin ...

Chaotic microcomb-based parallel ranging

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Johann Emmeram Riemensberger, Anton Lukashchuk, Aleksandr Tusnin

The intrinsic random amplitude and phase modulation of 40 distinct lines of a microresonator frequency comb operated in the modulation instability regime are used to realize massively parallel random-modulation continuous-wave light detection and ranging, ...

An evaluation of new particle formation events in Helsinki during a Baltic Sea cyanobacterial summer bloom

Lubna Dada

Several studies have investigated new particle formation (NPF) events from various sites ranging from pristine locations, including forest sites, to urban areas. However, there is still a dearth of studies investigating NPF processes and subsequent aerosol ...

The Height of Chitinous Ridges Alone Produces the Entire Structural Color Palette

Hemant Kumar Raut

The colorful wings of butterflies result from the interaction between light and the intricate chitinous nanostructures on butterflies’ scales. This study demonstrates that just by reproducing the chitinous ridges present in butterfly scales (i.e., without ...

Emergence of representative signals for sudden stratospheric warmings beyond current predictable lead times

Guillaume Romain Obozinski, Raphaël Gérard Théodore Michel Marie de Deloÿe et Fourcade de Fondeville

Major sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are extreme wintertime circulation events of the Arctic stratosphere that are accompanied by a breakdown of the polar vortex and are considered an important source of predictability of tropospheric weather on subs ...

The effects of Prandtl number on the nonlinear dynamics of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in two dimensions

Jeremy Peter Parker

It is known that the pitchfork bifurcation of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability occurring at minimum gradient Richardson number Ri(m) similar or equal to 1/4 in viscous stratified shear flows can be subcritical or supercritical depending on the value of the Pra ...

Sensitivity analysis of fractal dimensions of crack maps on concrete and masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Amir Rezaie

Assessing building damage after earthquakes requires a visual inspection of the damage, indicated by maps of the cracking pattern on walls, which could be standardized via automated algorithms. To quantitate this damage, fractal dimensions of these crack m ...

Nonlinear states and dynamics in a synthetic frequency dimension

Tobias Kippenberg, Alexey Tikan, Aleksandr Tusnin

Recent advances in the study of synthetic dimensions revealed a possibility to employ the frequency space as an additional degree of freedom which allows for investigating and exploiting higher-dimensional phenomena in a priori low-dimensional systems. How ...

Reservoir Computing meets Recurrent Kernels and Structured Transforms

Florent Gérard Krzakala, Jonathan Yuelin Dong

Reservoir Computing is a class of simple yet efficient Recurrent Neural Networks where internal weights are fixed at random and only a linear output layer is trained. In the large size limit, such random neural networks have a deep connection with kernel m ...

A sequence-dependent coarse-grain model of B-DNA with explicit description of bases and phosphate groups parametrised from large scale Molecular Dynamics simulations

Alessandro Samuele Patelli

We introduce a sequence-dependent coarse-grain model of double-stranded DNA with an explicit description of both the bases and the phosphate groups as interacting rigid-bodies. The model parameters are trained on extensive, state-of-the-art large scale mol ...

Potential erosion capacity of gravity currents created by changing initial conditions

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Jessica Zordan

We investigate to what extent the initial conditions (in terms of buoyancy and geometry) of saline gravity currents flowing over a horizontal bottom influence their runout and entrainment capacity. In particular, to what extent the effect of the introducti ...

Observation of super cavity solitons

Miles Henry Anderson

We describe recent experimental observations of coexisting nonlinear states, including so-called super cavity solitons, in tristable passive Kerr resonators. ...

New Approach to Identifying Critical Initial Conditions for Extreme Flood Simulations in a Semicontinuous Simulation Framework

Anton Schleiss, Bettina Schaefli, Javier García Hernández, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue

Extreme flood simulation with synthetic extreme precipitation events raises unavoidable questions about the choice of initial conditions. State-of-the-art extreme flood estimation frameworks propose to address these questions with the help of semicontinuou ...

Programmable Multistable Mechanisms: Design, modeling, characterization and applications

Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

Multistable Mechanisms are mechanical devices having more than one stable state. Since these mechanisms can maintain different deformations with zero force, they are advantageous for low power environments such as wristwatches and medical devices. In this ...

Form finding in elastic gridshells

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Elastic gridshells comprise an initially planar network of elastic rods that are actuated into a shell-like structure by loading their extremities. The resulting actuated form derives from the elastic buckling of the rods subjected to inextensibility. We s ...
