Instabilities in Elastic and Magneto-Elastic Beams and Shells: from Shell Buckling to the Design of a Programmable Braille Reader

Arefeh Abbasi

In this thesis, we conduct a comprehensive investigation into structural instabilities of both elastic and magneto-elastic beams and shells, resulting in a creative proposal to design a programmable braille reader. Methodologically, we combine numerical si ...

Generalization of Scaled Deep ResNets in the Mean-Field Regime

Volkan Cevher, Grigorios Chrysos, Fanghui Liu

Despite the widespread empirical success of ResNet, the generalization properties of deep ResNet are rarely explored beyond the lazy training regime. In this work, we investigate scaled ResNet in the limit of infinitely deep and wide neural networks, of wh ...

Effects of Hyporheic Exchange and Settlement on the Particle Size Distribution of Colloids

David Andrew Barry, Qihao Jiang

Colloid particle size plays an important role in contaminant adsorption and clogging in the hyporheic zone, but it remains unclear how the particle size changes during the transport of colloids. This study investigated the variation of the particle size of ...

Higher Order Asymptotics: Applications to Satellite Conjunction and Boundary Problems

Soumaya Elkantassi

Higher-order asymptotics provide accurate approximations for use in parametric statistical modelling. In this thesis, we investigate using higher-order approximations in two-specific settings, with a particular emphasis on the tangent exponential model. ...

Engineering random spin models with atoms in a high-finesse cavity

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Nick Jacob Sauerwein, Tigrane Arthur Cantat Moltrecht, Francesca Orsi

Random spin models play a key role in our understanding of disorder and complex many-body systems. Two all-to-all interacting, disordered models have now been realized using a cavity quantum electrodynamics platform. ...

Euclid preparation: XXVIII. Forecasts for ten different higher-order weak lensing statistics

Maurizio Martinelli, Frédéric Courbin, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel

Recent cosmic shear studies have shown that higher-order statistics (HOS) developed by independent teams now outperform standard two-point estimators in terms of statistical precision thanks to their sensitivity to the non-Gaussian features of large-scale ...

Regressive Tomography and Direct Regressive Reconstruction: A Research Note

Henri Weisen

Two related methods for inverting line-integrated measurements are presented in this research paper in the context of the recent deuterium-tritium experiments in the JET tokamak. Unlike traditional methods of tomography, these methods rely on making use of ...

Information Spectrum Converse for Minimum Entropy Couplings and Functional Representations

Yanina Yurina Shkel, Anuj Kumar Yadav

Given two jointly distributed random variables (X,Y), a functional representation of X is a random variable Z independent of Y, and a deterministic function g(⋅,⋅) such that X=g(Y,Z). The problem of finding a minimum entropy functional representation is kn ...

Current propagation type self-consistent leader-return stroke model

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

A current propagation type return stroke model which is consistent with the estimated distribution of the charge on the leader channel is described. The model takes into account the dispersion of the return stroke current along the return stroke channel. T ...

Memory of Motion for Initializing Optimization in Robotics

Teguh Santoso Lembono

Many robotics problems are formulated as optimization problems. However, most optimization solvers in robotics are locally optimal and the performance depends a lot on the initial guess. For challenging problems, the solver will often get stuck at poor loc ...
