Characterization of water sorption cycle in the cement microstructure of controlled oxide composition

This thesis investigates the water vapour sorption behaviour of samples with maximized calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) content. Primarily, the role of heterogeneous and homogeneous cavitation has been studied during the drying of cementitious materials. C ...

Perturbed Fourier uniqueness and interpolation results in higher dimensions

Martin Peter Stoller, Joao Pedro Gonçalves Ramos

We obtain new Fourier interpolation and uniqueness results in all dimensions, extending methods and results by the first author and M. Sousa [11] and the second author [12]. We show that the only Schwartz function which, together with its Fourier transform ...

Polymer Translocation through Nanometer Pores

Maria-Alexandra Paun

In this paper the loaded polymer transport and its escape via a nanometer size aperture, virtually by nanomembrane, the polymer being moved by an exterior electrostatic field, has been studied. Assuming a linear dependency of the friction coefficient on th ...

Laser-induced liquid micro-jets for drug delivery

Jan Krizek

Jet injection devices have been studied and developed for transdermal drug delivery to avoid the use of needles. Such contact-less devices provide several advantages such as better dose control, lateral and depth localisation, lower collateral damage than ...

Theory of twin strengthening in fcc high entropy alloys

William Curtin, Recep Ekin Kubilay

Twinning in fcc High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) has been implicated as a possible mechanism for hardening that enables enhanced ductility. Here, a theory for the twinning stress is developed analogous to recent theories for yield stress. Specifically, the stres ...

Quantification of Strand Accessibility in Biostable DNA Origami with Single-Staple Resolution

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Alice Comberlato

DNA-based nanostructures are actively gaining interest as tools for biomedical and therapeutic applications following the recent development of protective coating strategies prolonging structural integrity in physiological conditions. For tailored biologic ...

Mathematical and numerical models for the cardiac electromechanical function

Alfio Quarteroni, Francesco Regazzoni

This paper deals with the mathematical model that describes the function of the human heart. More specifically, it addresses the equations that express the electromechanical process, that is the mechanical deformation (contraction and relaxation) of the he ...

A New Channel-Base Lightning Current Formula With Analytically Adjustable Parameters

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

The article provides a new channel-based current function, which aims at faithfully reproducing the salient parameters of lightning currents. All the model parameters can be set in a fully analytical way, guaranteeing the possibility of changing them (acco ...

Numerical investigation on the volute cutwater for pumps running in turbine mode

Elena Vagnoni, Alessandro Morabito

The hydropower sector has recently raised the interest in pump as turbine (PaT) that can be a valid trade-off between capital cost and performance in micro-scale installations. Nevertheless, the modest efficiency of PaTs often restricts their exploitation. ...

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 ...

Deterministic error bounds for kernel-based learning techniques under bounded noise

Colin Neil Jones, Emilio Maddalena, Paul Scharnhorst

We consider the problem of reconstructing a function from a finite set of noise-corrupted samples. Two kernel algorithms are analyzed, namely kernel ridge regression and epsilon-support vector regression. By assuming the ground-truth function belongs to th ...
