THE PHASE TRANSITION FOR PLANAR GAUSSIAN PERCOLATION MODELS WITHOUT FKG

We develop techniques to study the phase transition for planar Gaussian percolation models that are not (necessarily) positively correlated. These models lack the property of positive associations (also known as the 'FKG inequality'), and hence many classi ...

Debates on the dorsomedial prefrontal/dorsal anterior cingulate cortex: insights for future research

Nicolas Clairis

The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex/dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dmPFC/dACC) is a brain area subject to many theories and debates over its function(s). Even its precise anatomical borders are subject to much controversy. In the past decades, the dmPFC/d ...

Contact process under renewals II

Thomas Mountford

We continue the study of renewal contact processes initiated in a companion paper, where we showed that if the tail of the interarrival distribution mu is heavier than t(-alpha) for some alpha < 1 (plus auxiliary regularity conditions) then the critical va ...

Quantifying Fano properties in self-assembled metamaterials

Olivier Martin

Fano resonances in metamaterials can be explained by the coupling between different modes sustained by the meta-atom. While the associated spectral features are usually quite easy to identify for top-down metamaterials, thanks to the deterministic arrangem ...

Direct gyrokinetic comparison of pedestal transport in JET with carbon and ITER-like walls

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Alessandro Pau, Marco Wischmeier, Cristian Sommariva, Federico Nespoli, Richard Pitts, David Pfefferlé, Yann Camenen, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Jan Horacek, Hamish William Patten, Javier García Hernández, Samuel Lanthaler, Nicola Vianello, Mikhail Maslov, Yao Zhou, Davide Galassi, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Liang Yao, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Gabriele Merlo, Bernhard Sieglin, Otto Asunta

This paper compares the gyrokinetic instabilities and transport in two representative JET pedestals, one (pulse 78697) from the JET configuration with a carbon wall (C) and another (pulse 92432) from after the installation of JET's ITER-like Wall (ILW). Th ...

You Talking to Me? The TED digital infrastructure as a Recognition Device

Gianluigi Viscusi, Heidi Christina Gautschi

This article investigates the TED digital infrastructure for translating Science and Technology projects. Specifically, we seek to investigate the TED infrastructures generative mechanisms and their relation to valuation mechanisms and practices. The resea ...

Argument discovery via crowdsourcing

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Chi Thang Duong

The amount of controversial issues being discussed on the Web has been growing dramatically. In articles, blogs, and wikis, people express their points of view in the form of arguments, i.e., claims that are supported by evidence. Discovery of arguments ha ...

Urban Development Processes: Methodological Investigation into the Complexity and Dynamics of Post-socialist Cities : Case Study of Savamala Neighbourhood in Belgrade, Serbia

Marija Cvetinovic

The overall objective of this thesis is to critically address, break down and reassemble the urban development process in post-socialist cities through a set of analyses that covers urban planning strategies, real-estate interventions, participatory and ur ...

Effect of particle collisions in dense suspension flows

Matthieu Wyart

We study nonlocal effects associated with particle collisions in dense suspension flows, in the context of the Affine Solvent Model, known to capture various aspects of the jamming transition. We show that an individual collision changes significantly the ...

Strings from domain walls in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and adjoint QCD

We study strings between static quarks in QCD with nf adjoint fermions, including N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM), in the calculable regime on R-3 x S-L(1), which shares many features with the XY-spin model. We find that they have many qualitatively ...

Response to "Critical Assessment of the Evidence for Striped Nanoparticles"

Francesco Stellacci, Quy Ong Khac

Stirling et al., (10.1371/journal.pone.0108482) presented an analysis on some of our publications on the formation of stripe-like domains on mixed-ligand coated gold nanoparticles. The authors shed doubts on some of our results however no valid argument is ...

Ecomorphodynamic conditions for the emergence of river anabranching patterns

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Paolo d'Odorico

The appearance of the regular vegetated ridge patterns observed in some ephemeral rivers of semi-arid regions (Nanson, Tooth, & Knigthon 2002) has previously been explained by hydraulic arguments (optimization of the bed load transport capacity, see Huang ...

Benchmarking Image-Processing Algorithms for Biomicroscopy: Reference Datasets and Perspectives

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Hagay Kirshner, Stamatios Lefkimmiatis

As the field of bioimage informatics matures, the issue of the validation of image reconstruction algorithms and the definition of proper performance criteria becomes more pressing. In this work, we discuss benchmarking aspects of fluorescence microscopy q ...

Nondispersive solutions to the $L^2$-critical half-wave equation

Joachim Krieger

We consider the focusing

-critical half-wave equation in one space dimension

i \partial_t u = D u - |u|^2 u,

where

D

denotes the first-order fractional derivative. Standard arguments show that there is a critical threshold

The alpha-theorem and the asymptotics of 4D quantum field theory

Riccardo Rattazzi

We study the possible IR and UV asymptotics of 4D Lorentz invariant unitary quantum field theory. Our main tool is a generalization of the Komargodski-Schwimmer proof for the alpha-theorem. We use this to rule out a large class of renormalization group flo ...

Sparsity and the Bayesian perspective

Anaïs Marie Rassat, Jean-Luc Starck

Sparsity has recently been introduced in cosmology for weak-lensing and cosmic microwave background (CMB) data analysis for different applications such as denoising, component separation, or inpainting (i.e., filling the missing data or the mask). Although ...

Can bioactivity be tested in vitro with SBF solution ?

Jacques Lemaître

A large part of the scientiﬁc community has accepted the paradigm that a simulated body solution (SBF) can be used to test the bioactivity of a material. This is exempliﬁed by the rapidly increasing number of publications using this test. The aim of this d ...
