Succinct ordering and aggregation constraints in algebraic array theories

We discuss two extensions to a recently introduced theory of arrays, which are based on considerations coming from the model theory of power structures. First, we discuss how the ordering relation on the index set can be expressed succinctly by referring t ...

Indentation and stability of woven domes

Célestin Vallat, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tian Chen, Samuel Jean Bernard Poincloux, Tomohiko Sano

Discrete domes are doubly curved structures comprising a network of beam-like elements. We study the mechanics of discrete domes made of ribbons woven in a pentagonal triaxial pattern. Experiments and finite element simulations are performed to characteriz ...

Q-Factor Bounds for Microstrip Patch Antennas

Anja Skrivervik

Antenna bounds are a useful tool in assessing the feasibility or performance of an antenna design. Microstrip patch antennas are often limited by their relatively narrow bandwidth, and therefore Q-factor is an important design parameter, as it is related t ...

ICRH assisted breakdown study on JET

Benoît Labit, Haomin Sun, Thomas Binderup Jensen

Ion cyclotron (IC) wave assisted breakdown has the potential to increase the robustness of plasma initiation during the ITER pre-fusion operation phase. Studies were performed at JET at ITER relevant loop electric field, E-loop ? 0.33 Vm(-1), and a range o ...

A hybrid microscopic model for multimodal traffic with empirical observations from aerial footage

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Georgios Anagnostopoulos

Microscopic traffic flow models can be distinguished in lane-based or lane-free depending on the degree of lane-discipline. This distinction holds true only if motorcycles are neglected in lane-based traffic. In cities, as opposed to highways, this is an o ...

Synthesis of moving and beating moiré shapes

Jürgen Brugger, Roger Hersch, Thomas Walger

The present invention proposes a method for producing an authenticable moiré shape that simultaneously moves and shows a beating effect. The method relies on a combination of the 1D or the 2D moiré and the level line moiré. When tilting a compound showing ...

Microresonator Dissipative Kerr Solitons Synchronized to an Optoelectronic Oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Wenle Weng, Jijun He

Using phase-modulation-induced potential gradient whose period is synchronized to a microwave opto-electronic oscillator, dissipative Kerr solitons generated in a crystalline optical microresonator are trapped by the soliton tweezing effect, exhibiting a s ...
