Grain boundaries in epitaxial graphene on the SiC(000 (1) over bar) substrate are studied using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. All investigated small-angle grain boundaries show pronounced out-of-plane buckling induced by the strain fields ...
Definitions of flow indicators are derived by adapting Edie's definitions through a stream-based approach and a data-driven spatio-temporal discretization framework. The stream-based approach accounts for the multidirectional nature of pedestrian flows. Th ...
Although the grain refinement of yellow gold alloys with Jr has been used in industry and known for nearly half a century, the basic mechanism is still unknown. The present contribution shows that the mechanism is the same as that evidenced recently in Al- ...
The parameterization of rational Bézier surfaces greatly affects rendering and tessellation results. The uniformity and orthogonality of iso-parametric curves are two key properties of the optimal parameterization. The only rational Bézier surfaces with un ...
Poincaré's uniformisation theorem says that any Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to a unique (up to isometry) surface of constant Gauss curvature 0, 1 or –1. The (topologically) richest of these three worlds is for curvature –1 formed of hyperboli ...
In this paper we propose a new model reduction technique aimed at real-time blood flow simulations on a given family of geometrical shapes of arterial vessels. Our approach is based on the combination of a low-dimensional shape parametrization of the compu ...
The objective of this PhD thesis is the approximate computation of the solutions of the Spectral Problem associated with the Laplace operator on a compact Riemann surface without boundaries. A Riemann surface can be seen as a gluing of portions of the Hype ...
