A Reduced Order Model for Domain Decompositions with Non-conforming Interfaces

In this paper, we propose a reduced-order modeling strategy for two-way Dirichlet-Neumann parametric coupled problems solved with domain-decomposition (DD) sub-structuring methods. We split the original coupled differential problem into two sub-problems wi ...

Sensor-based control strategies for integration of epidural electrical stimulation in rehabilitation after spinal cord injury

Miroslav Caban

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) results in damage to neural circuitry connecting the brain to the periphery. Consequently, sensory and motor function is lost, to varying degree, depending on the site and severity of the lesion. More than half of spinal cord injur ...

On the non-existence of stepped-pressure equilibria far from symmetry

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

The Stepped Pressure Equilibrium Code (SPEC) (Hudson et al 2012 Phys. Plasmas 19 112502) has been successful in the construction of equilibria in 3D configurations that contain a mixture of flux surfaces, islands and chaotic magnetic field lines. In this m ...
