A miracle of boxes: Note sulla città come call center

By focusing on OMA's Mangalem 21, a housing project in Tirana, this article tackles the modern transformatiosn of Albanian capital in the last decade. Since 2013 administrators called celebrity architects to design landmark buildings for urban speculation ...

Coherent actions by homeomorphisms on the real line or an interval

Yash Lodha

We study actions of groups by orientation preserving homeomorphisms on R (or an interval) that are minimal, have solvable germs at +/-infinity and contain a pair of elements of a certain dynamical type. We call such actions coherent. We establish that such ...

Approximating nonabelian free groups by groups of homeomorphisms of the real line

Yash Lodha

We show that for a large class C of finitely generated groups of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the real line, the following holds: Given a group G of rank k in C, there is a sequence of k-markings (G,S-n), n is an element of N whose limit in the ...

Complements to Mugge and Friedel's Theory of Twinning

Cyril Cayron

The crystallography of twinning is based on the concepts of simple shear and obliquity introduced by Mugge, Mallard and Friedel at the turn of the last century, with tensor mathematics later developed by Bilby, Bevis and Crocker in the 1960s. We propose a ...

Geometric spects A of Similarity Problems

Peter Clemens Schlicht

This article presents a geometric approach to some similarity problems involving metric arguments in the non-positively curved space of positive invertible operators of an operator algebra and the canonical isometric action by invertible elements on the co ...

Joint Inertial Sensor Orientation Drift Reduction for Highly Dynamic Movements

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel, Julien Chardonnens

Inertial sensor drift is usually corrected on a single-sensor unit level. When multiple sensor units are used, mutual information from different units can be exploited for drift correction. This study introduces a method for a drift-reduced estimation of t ...

Impact of tunneling anisotropy on the conductivity of nanorod dispersions

Claudio Grimaldi, Biagio Nigro

While the tunneling conductance between two spherical-like conducting particles depends on the relative interparticle distance, the wave function overlap between states of two rodlike particles, and so the tunneling conductance, depends also on the relativ ...

A Comparison Between Joint Coordinate System and Attitude Vector for Multi-segment foot Kinematics

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Hossein Rouhani, Xavier Crevoisier

The joint angles of multi-segment foot models have been primarily described using two mathematical methods: the joint coordinate system and the attitude vector. This study aimed to determine whether the angles obtained through these two descriptors are com ...

Orthotropic active strain models for the numerical simulation of cardiac biomechanics

Alfio Quarteroni, Ricardo Esteban Ruiz Baier, Simone Rossi

An active strain formulation for orthotropic constitutive laws arising in cardiac mechanics modeling is introduced and studied. The passive mechanical properties of the tissue are described by the Holzapfel-Ogden relation. In the active strain formulation, ...

Orientation of body segments in ski jumps using wearable sensors: Analysis of relevant parameters during stable flight phase

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Julien Chardonnens

3D kinematic and dynamic analysis is highly required in ski jumping. Current recording techniques (e.g. camera systems) suffered from limitations, such as volume capture or complexity of use and processing. This study proposed a new 3D approach based on in ...

Second harmonic generation from nanocrystals under linearly and circularly polarized excitations

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Ye Pu, Rachel Grange, Chia-Lung Hsieh

We study second harmonic generation (SHG) from noncentrosymmetric nanocrystals under linearly polarized (LP) and circularly polarized (CP) excitations. Theoretical models are developed for SHG from nanocrystals under both plane-wave and focused excitations ...

Differential geometry: a natural tool for describing symmetry operations

Gervais Chapuis, Kurt Schenk, Philippe Kocian

Differential geometry provides a useful mathematical framework for describing the fundamental concepts in crystallography. The notions of point and associated vector spaces correspond to those of manifold and tangent space at a given point. A space-group o ...

Representation of Radon Shape Diffusions via Hyperspherical Brownian Motion

Victor Panaretos

A framework is introduced for the study of general Radon shape diffusions, that is, shape diffusions induced by projections of randomly rotating shapes. This is done via a convenient representation of unoriented Radon shape diffusions in (unoriented) D.G. ...

Modèles tordus d'espaces de lacets libres et fonctionnels

Sylvestre Blanc

In this PhD thesis, we construct an explicit algebraic model over Z of the cochains of the free loop space of a 1-connected space X. We start from an enriched Adams-Hilton model of X, which can be obtained relatively easily when X is the realisation of a s ...
