Disagreement and fragmentation in growing groups

The arise of disagreement is an emergent phenomenon that can be observed within a growing social group and, beyond a certain threshold, can lead to group fragmentation. To better understand how disagreement emerges, we introduce an analytically tractable m ...

Advances in Magnetics Roadmap on Spin-Wave Computing

Qian Wang, Dirk Grundler, Xiuwei Zhang, Yiming Li

Magnonics addresses the physical properties of spin waves and utilizes them for data processing. Scalability down to atomic dimensions, operation in the GHz-to-THz frequency range, utilization of nonlinear and nonreciprocal phenomena, and compatibility wit ...

The Dimension of the Body in Higher Education: Matrix of Meanings in Students’ Diaries

Simon Nessim Henein, Ramiro Tau

In this paper, we attempt to show some consequences of bringing the body back into higher education, through the use of performing arts in the curricular context of scientific programs. We start by arguing that dominant traditions in higher education repro ...

Emergent nonlinear phenomena in a driven dissipative photonic dimer

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Hairun Guo, Mikhail Churaev, Junqiu Liu, Alexey Tikan, Kenichi Komagata

Collective effects leading to spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal pattern formation in complex nonlinear systems driven out of equilibrium cannot be described at the single-particle level and are therefore often called emergent phenomena. They are characte ...

Modeling synchronization in globally coupled oscillatory systems using model order reduction

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Niccolo' Discacciati

We construct reduced order models for two classes of globally coupled multi-component oscillatory systems, selected as prototype models that exhibit synchronization. These are the Kuramoto model, considered both in its original formulation and with a suita ...

Probing interfacial energetics and charge transfer kinetics in semiconductor nanocomposites: New insights into heterostructured TiO2/BiVO4 photoanodes

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice

Heterostructured nanocomposites offer promise for creating systems exhibiting functional properties that exceed those of the isolated components. For solar energy conversion, such combinations of semiconducting nanomaterials can be used to direct charge tr ...

Bodily Ownership : Tactile, Visual and Motor Mechanisms

Sebastian Dieguez Falcon

How do we know that our body and its parts belong to us? Observations from neurological syndromes and recent experiments in the cognitive neurosciences suggest that the sense of bodily ownership is a crucial component underlying self-consciousness in human ...

Self-Similar Vector Fields

Pouya Dehghani Tafti

We propose statistically self-similar and rotation-invariant models for vector fields, study some of the more significant properties of these models, and suggest algorithms and methods for reconstructing vector fields from numerical observations, using the ...

Learning Multi-Modal Dictionaries

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gianluca Monaci, Rémi Gribonval, Philippe Jost

Real-world phenomena involve complex interactions between multiple signal modalities. As a consequence, humans are used to integrate at each instant perceptions from all their senses in order to enrich their understanding of the surrounding world. This par ...
