A cut-cell method for the numerical simulation of 3D multiphase flows with strong interfacial effects

Alexandre Caboussat, Alexandre Masserey, Marco Picasso, Julien Hess

We present a numerical model for the approximation of multiphase flows with free surfaces and strong interfacial effects. The model relies on the multiphase incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and includes surface tension effects on the interfaces betw ...

The effect of mindfulness-based intervention on neurobehavioural functioning and its association with white-matter microstructural changes in preterm young adolescents

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler, Petra Susan Hüppi, Vanessa Siffredi

Very preterm (VPT) young adolescents are at high risk of executive, behavioural and socio-emotional difficulties. Previous research has shown significant evidence of the benefits of mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) on these abilities. This study aims t ...

Atomic scale volume and grain boundary diffusion elucidated by in situ STEM

Johann Michler, Amit Sharma, Laszlo Pethö, Xavier Maeder

Diffusion is one of the most important phenomena studied in science ranging from physics to biology and, in abstract form, even in social sciences. In the field of materials science, diffusion in crystalline solids is of particular interest as it plays a p ...

Nonparametric estimation for SDE with sparsely sampled paths: An FDA perspective

Victor Panaretos, Neda Mohammadi Jouzdani

We consider the problem of nonparametric estimation of the drift and diffusion coefficients of a Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE), based on n independent replicates {Xi(t) : t is an element of [0 , 1]}13 d B(t), where alpha is an element of {0 , 1} a ...

Diffusion timescale conundrum in contact metamorphism: Oxygen isotope and trace element profiles in dolomite

Lukas Baumgartner, Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Florence Bégué

Successful application of diffusion chronometry is based on detailed knowledge of diffusion parameters obtained from laboratory experiments, which also need to be upscaled to be applied to natural samples. While generally applicable, several examples of di ...

New insights into rodent brain microstructure and metabolism in hepatic encephalopathy

Jessie Julie Mosso

Type C hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a severe neuropsychiatric complication of chronic liver disease, for which the prognosis is poor in the absence of liver transplantation. Cirrhosis in type C HE leads to a toxic accumulation of ammonia in the blood, wh ...

Morphology and Transport Characterization of Catalyst Layers for CO2 Reduction

Sophia Haussener, Francesca Lorenzutti

Gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) help to reduce transport limitations in devices for electrochemical CO2 reduction. Homogenized modeling of such devices requires input of morphological characteristics and effective transport properties of the porous structu ...

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

Maria Colombo, Massimo Sorella

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 ...

Practical considerations of diffusion-weighted MRS with ultra-strong diffusion gradients

André Döring

IntroductionDiffusion-weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy (DW-MRS) offers improved cellular specificity to microstructure-compared to water-based methods alone-but spatial resolution and SNR is severely reduced and slow-diffusing metabolites necessita ...

Widespread intra-axonal signal fraction abnormalities in bipolar disorder from multicompartment diffusion MRI: Sensitivity to diagnosis, association with clinical features and pharmacologic treatment

Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez

Despite diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) evidence for widespread fractional anisotropy (FA) reductions in the brain white matter of patients with bipolar disorder, questions remain regarding the specificity and sensitivity of FA abnormalities as opposed to o ...

Slice Estimation in Diffusion MRI of Neonatal and Fetal Brains in Image and Spherical Harmonics Domains Using Autoencoders

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Hamza Kebiri, Gabriel Girard, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Thomas Yu

Diffusion MRI (dMRI) of the developing brain can provide valuable insights into the white matter development. However, slice thickness in fetal dMRI is typically high (i.e., 3-5 mm) to freeze the in-plane motion, which reduces the sensitivity of the dMRI s ...

Neurite Exchange Imaging ((NEXI): A minimal model of diffusion in gray matter with inter-compartment water exchange

Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Alexandre Jean François Marie De Skowronski

Biophysical models of diffusion in white matter have been center-stage over the past two decades and are essentially based on what is now commonly referred to as the "Standard Model" (SM) of non-exchanging anisotropic compartments with Gaussian diffusion. ...
