4D printing of Metal-Reinforced double network granular hydrogels

Esther Amstad, Matteo Hirsch, Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Qinghua Guan, Livia D'Onofrio

Recent developments in soft actuation demand for resilient, responsive materials with locally varying compositions that are sufficiently stiff to exhibit significant actuation forces. Hydrogels are inherently responsive to certain stimuli. Yet, they typica ...

Quantum Field Theory in AdS Space instead of Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmerman Axioms

Xiang Zhao

The boundary correlation functions for a quantum field theory (QFT) in a fixed anti-de Sitter (AdS) background should reduce to S-matrix elements in the flat-space limit. We consider this procedure in detail for four-point functions. With minimal assumptio ...

Micromechanics of oxide inclusions in ferrous alloys

Alejandra Inés Slagter

Oxide inclusions are inevitably present in steel as a direct consequence of the steelmaking process; as a result, a cubic centimetre of modern steel will generally contain about a million of these hard and brittle micrometre-sized ceramic particles. Inclus ...

Ultra-High Sensitivity Silicon Nanowire Array Biosensor Based on a Constant-Current Method for Continuous Real-Time pH and Protein Monitoring in Interstitial Fluid

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Yann Christophe Sprunger, Ali Saeidi, Luca Capua

In this paper we demonstrate ultra-high sensitivity silicon nanowires pH and protein sensing on the same Silicon nanowire array platform by using a constant current method and monitoring the drain voltage as function of analyte concentration. The injected ...

Harmonic decomposition of the trace of 1D transfer matrices in layered media

Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez

The Transfer Matrix formalism is ubiquitous when it comes to study wave propagation in various stratified media, applications ranging from Seismology to Quantum Mechanics. A relation between variables at two points in two different layers can be establishe ...

IMPROVED VARIANTS OF THE HUTCH plus plus ALGORITHM FOR TRACE ESTIMATION

Daniel Kressner, Alice Cortinovis, Ulf David Persson

This paper is concerned with two improved variants of the Hutch++ algorithm for estimating the trace of a square matrix, implicitly given through matrix-vector products. Hutch++ combines randomized low-rank approximation in a first phase with stochastic tr ...

Iterative refinement of Schur decompositions

Daniel Kressner, Zvonimir Bujanovic

The Schur decomposition of a square matrix A is an important intermediate step of state-of-the-art numerical algorithms for addressing eigenvalue problems, matrix functions, and matrix equations. This work is concerned with the following task: Compute a (m ...

Statistical limits of dictionary learning: Random matrix theory and the spectral replica method

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier

We consider increasingly complex models of matrix denoising and dictionary learning in the Bayes-optimal setting, in the challenging regime where the matrices to infer have a rank growing linearly with the system size. This is in contrast with most existin ...

Drops: Controlled crystallization of organic crystals and their use as matrix materials for encapsulation of volatiles

Aysu Ceren Okur

Encapsulation techniques open up new possibilities to control the kinetics and location of the release of active ingredients. Despite the progresses achieved to obtain a better control over the dimensions and composition of the capsules, the encapsulation ...

DIVIDE-AND-CONQUER METHODS FOR FUNCTIONS OF MATRICES WITH BANDED OR HIERARCHICAL LOW-RANK STRUCTURE\ast

Daniel Kressner, Stefano Massei, Alice Cortinovis

This work is concerned with approximating matrix functions for banded matrices, hierarchically semiseparable matrices, and related structures. We develop a new divide-and-conquer method based on (rational) Krylov subspace methods for performing low-rank up ...

The role of cavitation in drying cementitious materials

Mohsen Ben Haha, Karen Scrivener, Monisha Rastogi

This study examines the role of cavitation in drying cementitious materials. Classical nucleation theory is used to understand and study the parameters that influence cavitation pressures. The water desorption isotherms indicate that both heterogeneous and ...
