Pulsatile Flow-Induced Fatigue-Resistant Photopolymerizable Hydrogels for the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms

Dominique Pioletti, Andreas Schmocker, Lucio Feo Pancaldi-Giubbini, Christophe Moser, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Oriane Poupart

An alternative intracranial aneurysm embolic agent is emerging in the form of hydrogels due to their ability to be injected in liquid phase and solidify in situ. Hydrogels have the ability to fill an aneurysm sac more completely compared to solid implants ...

War of Words: The Competitive Dynamics of Legislative Processes

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Victor Kristof

A body of law is an example of a dynamic corpus of text documents that are jointly maintained by a group of editors who compete and collaborate in complex constellations. Our goal is to develop predictive models for this process, thereby shedding light on ...

From the Principle of Inertia to the Death Drive: The Influence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics on the Freudian Theory of the Psychical Apparatus

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Pierre Magistretti

In the Freudian theory of the psychical apparatus, the introduction from the 1920s onward of the second drive dualism appears as a major turning point. The idea of a "death drive," first expressed in Beyond the Pleasure Principle (Freud, 1920), is generall ...

Bosonic superfluid transport in a quantum point contact

Jean-Philippe Brantut

We present a microscopic theory of heat and particle transport of an interacting, low-temperature Bose- Einstein condensate in a quantum point contact.We show that, in contrast to charged, fermionic superconductors, bosonic systems feature tunneling proces ...

Microstructural simulation and measurement of elastic modulus evolution of hydrating cement pastes

Cyrille Dunant, Karen Scrivener, Arnaud Müller, Arnaud Charles Albert Muller

Predicting the evolution of stiffness in cement paste requires linking morphological properties of the microstructure to the evolution of mechanical properties. Measures are typically difficult to obtain with sufficient time resolution to capture the trans ...

Infinitesimal asphericity changes the universality of the jamming transition

Matthieu Wyart, Carolina Brito Carvalho dos Santos

The jamming transition of non-spherical particles is fundamentally different from the spherical case. Non-spherical particles are hypostatic at their jamming points, while isostaticity is ensured in the case of the jamming of spherical particles. This stru ...

Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos Through the Lens of the 2D Gaussian Free Field

Juhan Aru

The aim of this review-style paper is to provide a concise, self-contained and unified presentation of the construction and main properties of Gaussian multiplicative chaos (GMC) measures for log-correlated fields in 2D in the subcritical regime. By consid ...

Carving out OPE space and precise O(2) model critical exponents

Alessandro Vichi, Ning Su

We develop new tools for isolating CFTs using the numerical bootstrap. A "cutting surface" algorithm for scanning OPE coefficients makes it possible to find islands in high-dimensional spaces. Together with recent progress in large-scale semidefinite progr ...

Poly(lactide)/cellulose nanocrystal nanocomposites by high-shear mixing

Véronique Michaud, Nicolas Candau, Adrien Julien Demongeot, Oguzhan Oguz, Mehmet Kerem Citak, Fatma Nalan Cetin

There is currently considerable interest in developing stiff, strong, tough, and heat resistant poly(lactide) (PLA) based materials with improved melt elasticity in response to the increasing demand for sustainable plastics. However, simultaneous optimizat ...

Mechanical response of layered titanate nanowires

Luca Rossi, László Forró, Raphaël Foschia, Endre Horvath, Anastasiia Glushkova

The mechanical response of individual titanate nanowires (H2Ti3O7), synthesized in an upscaled production (kg/month) was investigated by means of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) in nanomechanical spectroscopic mode. Because of their layered structure, bes ...

Tensile response of UHPFRC under very low strain rates and low temperatures

Emmanuel Denarié, Mohamed Abdul Hafiz

This paper addresses the uniaxial tensile response of Strain Hardening Ultra High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (SH-UHPFRC) subjected to very low strain rates and low temperatures. The influence of four different strain rates; 1 × 10−5, 1 × 10−7, ...
