The fourth moment of individual Dirichlet L-functions on the critical line

We prove an asymptotic formula for the second moment of a product of two Dirichlet L-functions on the critical line, which has a power saving in the error term and which is uniform with respect to the involved Dirichlet characters. As special cases we give ...

Methods and systems for particle characterisation

Sandor Kasas, Anton Malovichko

A method and system for deriving particle characteristics is described. The method comprises imaging the movement of at least one free-floating particle in a liquid environment at at least one moment in time, determining for at least one moment in time a m ...

Wavelet analysis of the Besov regularity of Levy white noise

Julien René Pierre Fageot, Shayan Aziznejad

We characterize the local smoothness and the asymptotic growth rate of the Levy white noise. We do so by characterizing the weighted Besov spaces in which it is located. We extend known results in two ways. First, we obtain new bounds for the local smoothn ...

Finding Second-Order Stationary Points in Constrained Minimization: A Feasible Direction Approach

Shaul Nadav Hallak

This paper introduces a method for computing points satisfying the second-order necessary optimality conditions for nonconvex minimization problems subject to a closed and convex constraint set. The method comprises two independent steps corresponding to t ...

Regularity and sparse approximation of the recursive first moment equations for the lognormal Darcy problem

Fabio Nobile, Francesca Bonizzoni

We study the Darcy boundary value problem with lognormal permeability field. We adopt a perturbation approach, expanding the solution in Taylor series around the nominal value of the coefficient, and approximating the expected value of the stochastic solut ...

Semi-Rigid Moment-Resisting Behavior of Multiple Tab-and-Slot Joint for Freeform Timber Plate Structures

Stéphane Nicolas Roche

Historically based on the transfer of ancestral know-how, the art of carpentry changed considerably at the beginning of the 21st century with the arrival on the market of engineered wood products (EWP) and computer numerically controlled machines (CNC). Th ...

Rotational stiffness of web-flange junctions of pultruded GFRP decks

Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Thomas Keller, Sonia Yanes Armas

The rotational behavior of the web-flange junctions (WFJs) of a pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge deck system with trapezoidal cell cross-sectional geometry was investigated. The rotational response of three WFJ types, in two bending m ...

On Moments Of Twisted L-Functions

Philippe Michel

We study the average of the product of the central values of two L-functions of modular forms f and g twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus q. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on averages of shifted convol ...

Local structural effects in fiber-reinforced polymer web-core sandwich structures

Sonia Yanes Armas

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded decks and sandwich panels currently represent two of the most extensive applications of FRP materials for load-bearing structural components in the bridge and building domains. Based on the state of the art, ...

Stress fields for the interaction of in-plane and out-of-plane forces in reinforced concrete shell elements

Marie-Rose Backes

Plane reinforced concrete (RC) elements are used in a large variety of structures. Their principal function is to carry forces that act in the plane of the element, but external actions and connections to other structural elements generally introduce addit ...

Bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums and applications

Philippe Michel

We prove nontrivial bounds for general bilinear forms in hyper-Kloosterman sums when the sizes of both variables may be below the range controlled by Fourier-analytic methods (Polya-Vinogradov range). We then derive applications to the second moment of cus ...

Tensor train approximation of moment equations for elliptic equations with lognormal coefficient

Fabio Nobile, Daniel Kressner, Francesca Bonizzoni

We study an elliptic equation with stochastic coefficient modeled as a lognormal random field. A perturbation approach is adopted, expanding the solution in Taylor series around the nominal value of the coefficient. The resulting recursive deterministic pr ...

Seismic behaviour of slab-column connections without transverse reinforcement

Circulation of Opinions in Visualization Reading

Dario Rodighiero

Visualizations need interpretation as a way to grasp the meaning of visual representation. They are complex, and often the process of creation is hidden to the public. Because of this, the following text illustrates a way to read the visual representation ...

A new method to break the mass-sheet degeneracy using aperture moments

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Markus Rexroth

Mass determinations from gravitational lensing shear and the higher order estimator flexion are both subject to the mass-sheet degeneracy. Mass sheet degeneracy refers to a transformation that leaves the reduced shear and flexion invariant. In general, thi ...

Increasing the stability of nanofluids with cavitating flows in micro orifices

Yusuf Leblebici, Morteza Ghorbani

One of the most critical challenges for nanofluids in practical applications is related to their stability and reusability since a gradual agglomeration of nanoparticles in nanofluids occurs with time and is accelerated by heating. In this study, we propos ...
