Model order reduction based on functional rational approximants for parametric PDEs with meromorphic structure

Many engineering fields rely on frequency-domain dynamical systems for the mathematical modeling of physical (electrical/mechanical/etc.) structures. With the growing need for more accurate and reliable results, the computational burden incurred by frequen ...

Lignin First: Confirming the Role of the Metal Catalyst in Reductive Fractionation

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Zhaofu Fei, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Ning Yan, Lu Chen, Xinjiang Cui

Rhodium nanoparticles embedded on the interior of hollow porous carbon nanospheres, able to sieve monomers from polymers, were used to confirm the precise role of metal catalysts in the reductive catalytic fractionation of lignin. The study provides clear ...

On the choice of metric in gradient-based theories of brain function

Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea, Jean-Pascal Théodor Pfister

The idea that the brain functions so as to minimize certain costs pervades theoretical neuroscience. Because a cost function by itself does not predict how the brain finds its minima, additional assumptions about the optimization method need to be made to ...

A Novel Decomposition Solution Approach for the Restoration Problem in Distribution Networks

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Hossein Sekhavatmanesh

The distribution network restoration problem is by nature a mixed integer and non-linear optimization problem due to the switching decisions and Optimal Power Flow (OPF) constraints, respectively. The link between these two parts involves logical implicati ...

Two-photon triggered photorelease of caged compounds from multifunctional harmonic nanoparticles

Sandrine Gerber, Laure Menin, Daniel Ortiz Trujillo, Jérémy Vuilleumier, Raphaël Jovita De Matos, Luigi Bonacina

The design of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers has raised much attention to achieve higher local concentration of therapeutics and mitigate the appearance of drug resistance. The combination of imaging properties and controlled photorelease of active molecu ...

Near-Optimal Noisy Group Testing via Separate Decoding of Items

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

In this paper, we revisit an efficient algorithm for noisy group testing in which each item is decoded separately (Malyutov and Mateev, 1980), and develop novel performance guarantees via an information-theoretic framework for general noise models. For the ...

Near-Optimal Noisy Group Testing via Separate Decoding of Items

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

The group testing problem consists of determining a small set of defective items from a larger set of items based on a number of tests, and is relevant in applications such as medical testing, communication protocols, pattern matching, and more. In this pa ...

Low Frequency Sound Field Reconstruction in Non-rectangular Room: A Numerical Validation

Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Vu Thach Pham

Characterization of sound fields in rooms has always been a challenging task. A faithful reconstruction of sound fields in rooms generally would require an impractically high number of microphones. At low frequencies, where sound field can be modeled as a ...

Computational development of the nanoporous materials genome

Berend Smit, Peter George Boyd, Yongjin Lee

There is currently a push towards big data and data mining in materials research to accelerate discovery. Zeolites, metal-organic frameworks and other related crystalline porous materials are not immune to this phenomenon, as evidenced by the proliferation ...

Height of rational points on quadratic twists of a given elliptic curve

Pierre Francis André Le Boudec

We formulate a conjecture about the distribution of the canonical height of the lowest non-torsion rational point on a quadratic twist of a given elliptic curve, as the twist varies. This conjecture seems to be very deep and we can prove only partial resul ...

Search for B-s(0) -> gamma gamma and a measurement of the branching fraction for B-s(0) -> phi gamma

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Tara Nanut, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Dipanwita Dutta

We search for the decay B-s(0) -> gamma gamma and measure the branching fraction for B-s(0) -> phi gamma using 121.4 fb(-1) of data collected at the Upsilon(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric- energy e(+)e(-) collider. The B-s(0) ...

A Compressible Scaffold for Minimally Invasive Delivery of Large Intact Neuronal Networks

Philippe Renaud, Georg Fantner, Thomas Michael Braschler, Patrick Fraering, Oliver Peric, Sébastien Mosser, Amélie Barbara Hildegarde Béduer, Sidi Ahmed Bencherif

Millimeter to centimeter-sized injectable neural scaffolds based on macroporous cryogels are presented. The polymer-scaffolds are made from alginate and carboxymethyl-cellulose by a novel simple one-pot cryosynthesis. They allow surgical sterility by means ...

Approximate Sparsity Pattern Recovery: Information-Theoretic Lower Bounds

Michael Christoph Gastpar

Recovery of the sparsity pattern (or support) of an unknown sparse vector from a small number of noisy linear mea- surements is an important problem in compressed sensing. In this paper, the high-dimensional setting is considered. It is shown that if the m ...

The Sampling Rate-Distortion Tradeoff for Sparsity Pattern Recovery in Compressed Sensing

Michael Christoph Gastpar

Recovery of the sparsity pattern (or support) of an unknown sparse vector from a limited number of noisy linear measurements is an important problem in compressed sensing. In the high-dimensional setting, it is known that recovery with a vanishing fraction ...

On the scaling of polar codes: II. The behavior of un-polarized channels

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani

We provide upper and lower bounds on the escape rate of the Bhattacharyya process corresponding to polar codes where transmission takes place over the the binary erasure channel. More precisely, we bound the exponent of the number of sub-channels whose Bha ...

Quantitative distribution patterns of additives in self-leveling flooring compounds (underlayments) as function of application, formulation and climatic conditions

Karen Scrivener

The distributions of organic additives in self-leveling flooring compounds (SLCs) were investigated using laser-scanning microscopy for the selective visualization of the additives, which had been previously stained by a fluorescent dye. The distributions ...

Dalitz analysis of B→Kπ+ψ′ decays and the Z(4430)

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Remi Léandre Albert Louvot, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Vladislav Balagura, Ji Hyun Kim, Xiao Wang

From a Dalitz plot analysis of B→Kπ+ψ′ decays, we find a signal for Z(4430)+→π+ψ′ with a mass M=(4443-12-13+15+19)MeV/ c2, width Γ=(107-43-56+86+74)MeV, product branching fraction B(B̄0→K-Z(4430)+)×B(Z(4430)+→π+ψ′)=(3.2-0.9-1. 6+1.8+5.3)×10-5, and signific ...
