Anomalous Dissipation and Lack of Selection in the Obukhov-Corrsin Theory of Scalar Turbulence

The Obukhov-Corrsin theory of scalar turbulence [21, 54] advances quantitative predictions on passive-scalar advection in a turbulent regime and can be regarded as the analogue for passive scalars of Kolmogorov's K41 theory of fully developed turbulence [4 ...

Self-Interaction and Polarons in Density Functional Theory

Stefano Falletta

The electron self-interaction is a long-standing problem in density functional theory and is particularly critical in the description of polarons. Polarons are quasiparticles involving charge localization coupled with self-induced lattice distortions. Sinc ...

SporTran: A code to estimate transport coefficients from the cepstral analysis of (multivariate) current time series

Loris Ercole

SporTran is a Python utility designed to estimate generic transport coefficients in extended systems, based on the Green-Kubo theory of linear response and the recently introduced cepstral analysis of the current time series generated by molecular dynamics ...

Hubbard U through polaronic defect states

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta

Since the preliminary work of Anisimov and co-workers, the Hubbard corrected DFT+U functional has been used for predicting properties of correlated materials by applying on-site effective Coulomb interactions to specific orbitals. However, the determinatio ...

Simulating energetic particle losses in JET plasmas with a reverse integration biasing scheme

Mario Ludovico Podesta, Matteo Vallar

An integrated energetic particle transport model has been constructed in JET plasmas constrained by experimental fast ion loss measurements. The model incorporates a synthetic fast ion loss detector identical to JET's thin-foil Faraday cup fast ion loss de ...

Towards Interactions Through Differentiable-Non-Differentiable Scale Transitions In Scale Relativity Theory

Maria-Alexandra Paun

It is shown that, in the framework of Scale Relativity Theory, correlations of type informational entropy/cross entropy - probability density, in the description of the dynamics of any complex system, can be perceived as interactions. Explaining these inte ...

Can Dynamic Priority Be Pareto Improving?

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

Traditional priority schemes reduce delays for some by increasing those of others. Yet, this might not be a necessity. Several works published over the last two decades have shown for a stylized set-up with homogeneous users that dynamic priority scheme ma ...

Sparse wars: A survey and comparative study of spherical deconvolution algorithms for diffusion MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, David Paul Roger Romascano, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Marco Pizzolato, Gaëtan Olivier D Rensonnet

Spherical deconvolution methods are widely used to estimate the brain's white-matter fiber orientations from diffusion MRI data. In this study, eight spherical deconvolution algorithms were implemented and evaluated. These included two model selection tech ...

F-BLEAU: Fast Black-box Leakage Estimation

Giovanni Cherubin

We consider the problem of measuring how much a system reveals about its secret inputs. We work in the black-box setting: we assume no prior knowledge of the system's internals, and we run the system for choices of secrets and measure its leakage from the ...

Discrimination of numerical proportions: A comparison of binomial and Gaussian models

Aire Raidvee

Observers discriminated the numerical proportion of two sets of elements (N = 9, 13, 33, and 65) that differed either by color or orientation. According to the standard Thurstonian approach, the accuracy of proportion discrimination is determined by irredu ...

Design and Validation of Diffusion MRI Models of White Matter

Ileana Ozana Jelescu

Diffusion MRI is arguably the method of choice for characterizing white matter microstructure in vivo. Over the typical duration of diffusion encoding, the displacement of water molecules is conveniently on a length scale similar to that of the underlying ...

Methodology for the optimal design of an integrated sugarcane distillery and cogeneration process for ethanol and power production

François Maréchal, Rami Bechara, Jean-Marc Schweitzer

The application of systematic methodologies for the optimal design of integrated processes has seen increased interest in literature, namely for bioprocesses. The development and application of such a methodology to ethanol and power production from sugarc ...

Semantically Enriched Industry Data & Information Modelling: A feasibility study on Shop-floor Incident Recognition

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Damiano Nunzio Arena, Apostolos Perdikakis

Knowledge modelling at industrial level consists an importunate activity nowadays due to the ceaseless advances in technologies and standards applied as well as the extensive amount of unrelated real-time and historical data at shop-floor level. A Common I ...

Cholera in the Lake Kivu region (DRC): Integrating remote sensing and spatially explicit epidemiological modeling

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Flavio Finger, Allyn Christine Knox, Marino Gatto

Mathematical models of cholera dynamics can not only help in identifying environmental drivers and processes that influence disease transmission, but may also represent valuable tools for the prediction of the epidemiological patterns in time and space as ...

Modelling Plasticity in Nanoscale Contact

Till Junge

The problem of mechanical contact is a truly multiscale one. Atomistic effects that violate continuum theory dominate the deformations of contacting asperities, while the interactions between distant asperities occur through long-range elasticity. This the ...

Plastic activity in nanoscratch molecular dynamics simulations of pure aluminium

Jean-François Molinari, Till Junge

Atomistic models for friction suffer from the severe length- and time-scale restrictions of molecular dynamics. In this paper, a novel approach to quantify the scratching work and the energy associated with plastic activity is used. The approach is combine ...

Inter-laboratory trial of a standardized sediment contact test with the aquatic plant Myriophyllum aquaticum (ISO 16191)

A whole-sediment toxicity test with Myriophyllum aquaticum has been developed by the German Federal Institute of Hydrology and standardized within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO; ISO 16191). An international ring-test was performed ...

Accurate Directional Inference for Vector Parameters in Linear Exponential Families

Anthony Christopher Davison

We consider inference on a vector-valued parameter of interest in a linear exponential family, in the presence of a finite-dimensional nuisance parameter. Based on higher-order asymptotic theory for likelihood, we propose a directional test whose p-value i ...

Portfolio construction under information asymmetry

Lionel Coulot

We introduce in this thesis the idea of a variable lookback model, i.e., a model whose predictions are based on a variable portion of the information set. We verify the intuition of this model in the context of experimental finance. We also propose a novel ...
