Soliton gas: Theory, numerics, and experiments

The concept of soliton gas was introduced in 1971 by Zakharov as an infinite collection of weakly interacting solitons in the framework of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this theoretical construction of a diluted (rarefied) soliton gas, solitons with ...

Degradation of EEG microstates patterns in subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment: Early biomarkers along the Alzheimer's Disease continuum?

Silvestro Micera, Michael Lassi

Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathological changes may begin up to decades earlier than the appearance of the first symptoms of cognitive decline. Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) could be the first pre-clinical sign of possible AD, which might be followed by ...

High-Throughput Sizing, Counting, and Elemental Analysis of Anisotropic Multimetallic Nanoparticles with Single-Particle Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

Natalia Gasilova, Andreas Züttel, Wen Luo, Mo Li, Cedric David Koolen, Ayush Agarwal

Nanoparticles (NPs) have wide applications in physical and chemical processes, and their individual properties (e.g., shape, size, and composition) and ensemble properties (e.g., distribution and homogeneity) can significantly affect the performance. Howev ...

Multilevel ensemble Kalman filtering for spatio-temporal processes

Fabio Nobile, Hakon Andreas Hoel

We design and analyse the performance of a multilevel ensemble Kalman filter method (MLEnKF) for filtering settings where the underlying state-space model is an infinite-dimensional spatio-temporal process. We consider underlying models that needs to be si ...

De la décoration par les ombres Traduction de méthodes picturales dans l'architecture française des XVIIIème et XIXème siècles

Laura Patricia Joannie Trazic

In the Vitruvian tradition, ornaments are classified into two categories: those that belong to the orders, and the others. If the former' s relief is merely indicated by Vitruvio and Alberti, the latter is simply ignored, thus opening the way to licentia. ...

Masksembles for Uncertainty Estimation

Pascal Fua, Timur Bagautdinov, Pierre Bruno Baqué, Nikita Durasov

Deep neural networks have amply demonstrated their prowess but estimating the reliability of their predictions remains challenging. Deep Ensembles are widely considered as being one of the best methods for generating uncertainty estimates but are very expe ...

OASE 108. Ups & Downs. Reception Histories in Architecture

Christophe van Gerrewey

What is good, less good, or bad architecture? This issue of OASE examines how shifting appreciations, for very diverse reasons, can function as a productive misunderstanding, and as a lever to advance architectural criticism and pry thinking about architec ...

Charge fluctuations from molecular simulations in the constant-potential ensemble

Sara Bonella, Alessandro Coretti

We revisit the statistical mechanics of charge fluctuations in capacitors. In constant-potential classical molecular simulations, the atomic charges of electrode atoms are treated as additional degrees of freedom which evolve in time so as to satisfy the c ...

Data assimilation of in situ and satellite remote sensing data to 3D hydrodynamic lake models: a case study using Delft3D-FLOW v4.03 and OpenDA v2.4

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Theo Baracchini

The understanding of physical dynamics is crucial to provide scientifically credible information on lake ecosystem management. We show how the combination of in situ observations, remote sensing data, and three-dimensional hydrodynamic (3D) numerical simul ...

Identifying and Tracking Defects in Dynamic Supramolecular Polymers

Michele Ceriotti, Piero Gasparotto

A central paradigm of self-assembly is to create ordered structures starting from molecular monomers that spontaneously recognize and interact with each other via noncovalent interactions. In recent years, great efforts have been directed toward perfecting ...

A Politics of Intellectual Property: Creating a Patent System in Revolutionary France

Jérôme Baudry

Economic interpretations, in particular the lens of the Industrial Revolution, have strongly influenced our understanding of the rise of intellectual property. This article examines the political origins of the 1791 patent law in France, which is usually s ...

Protostructure, archéologie et hypothèse d'une architecture-support

Agathe Claire Estelle Mignon

« How do we pile up dwellings without sacrificing their independence ? » Nicolas John Habraken asks the question in those terms in the book he first published in Dutch in 1961 then in English in 1972, Supports: An Alternative to Mass Housing, as an introd ...

i-PI 2.0: A universal force engine for advanced molecular simulations

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Riccardo Petraglia, Sébastien Pierre Bienvenue, Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng, David Mark Wilkins, Przemyslaw Juda, Benjamin Aaron Helfrecht, Venkat Kapil, Mariana Rossi Carvalho, Robert Horst Meissner, Alice Cuzzocrea, Gareth Aneurin Tribello, Wei Fang

Progress in the atomic-scale modeling of matter over the past decade has been tremendous. This progress has been brought about by improvements in methods for evaluating interatomic forces that work by either solving the electronic structure problem explici ...

Introducing the architectural values of the Common

Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon

The recent development of the “Common” as an interdisciplinary field of reflection seems to show some restraint with respect to the architectural culture that precedes it. This proposal invites to explore the intensities and the reasons for such a resistan ...
