Topology-Driven Single-Molecule Conductance of Carbon Nanothreads

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Ganna Gryn'ova

Highly conductive single-molecule junctions typically involve pi-conjugated molecular bridges, whose frontier molecular orbital energy levels can be fine-tuned to best match the Fermi level of the leads. Fully saturated wires, e.g., alkanes, are typically ...

Statistical and physical characterization of rainfall-driven overland flow morphologies

Mohsen Cheraghi

Environmental transport processes are highly coupled with the shape of landscapes. Modern catchment analysis with high-resolution data and huge computational powers demand more detailed within-cell metrics for surface evolution modeling. This dissertation ...

Rigidity of hemispherical elastic gridshells under point load indentation

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Changyeob Baek

We present results from physical and numerical experiments on the rigidity of hemispherical gridshells under point load indentation. By systematically exploring the relevant parameters of the system, we provide a scaling law for the rigidity of elastic gri ...

CO2 experimental measurements towards the development of a predictive framework using user actions in smart buildings

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Antonio Figueiredo

A transition towards smart buildings is one of the challenges of the 21st century. To achieve this goal, the use of smart sensors and smart appliances can be crucial. Although research about linking real-time monitoring and the operation mode of building a ...

Progress in modelling solidification microstructures in metals and alloys: dendrites and cells from 1700 to 2000

Wilfried Kurz

This is the first account of the history of our understanding of, and ability to model, solidification microstructures. Its objective is to retrace the scientific steps made, from the earliest observations of the eighteenth century to our present-day under ...

When Sheep Shop: Measuring Herding Effects in Product Ratings with Natural Experiments

Robert West, Gael Lederrey

As online shopping becomes ever more prevalent, customers rely increasingly on product rating websites for making purchase decisions. The reliability of online ratings, however, is potentially compromised by the so-called herding effect: when rating a prod ...

Hydrogen Diffusion and Trapping in α-Iron: The Role of Quantum and Anharmonic Fluctuations

Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng

We investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of a hydrogen interstitial in magnetic α-iron, taking account of the quantum fluctuations of the proton as well as the anharmonicities of lattice vibrations and hydrogen hopping. We show that the diffusivity o ...

Evidence of a structure in (K)over-bar(0)Lambda(+)(c) consistent with a charged Xi(c)(2930)(+), and updated measurement of (B)over-bar(0) -> (K)over-bar(0)Lambda(+)(c) (Lambda)over-bar(c)(-) at Belle

Olivier Schneider, Roberto Gargiani, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Gaétan Charles Antoine Giriat, Sun Hee Kim, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Tara Nanut, Chang-Hyun Park, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian, Arnaud Michel Gelb, Jun Yong Kim, Yong Chan Choi, Ji Hyun Kim, Linlin Cao, Donghyun Kim, Jiayun Shen, Xiao Wang, Lei Li

We report evidence for the charged charmed-strange baryon Xi(c)(2930)(+) with a signal significance of 3.9 sigma with systematic errors included. The charged Xi(c)(2930)(+) is found in its decay to K-S(0)Lambda(+)(c) in the substructure of (B) over bar (0) ...

A Computational Approach for the Design of Epidural Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation Strategies to Enable Locomotion after Spinal Cord Injury

Emanuele Formento

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of paralysis with currently no effective treatment. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the lumbar spinal cord has been shown to restore locomotion in animal models of SCI, but has not yet reached the same lev ...
