Rather than using wooden sticks to simulate the breakage of trees in high winds as in most research, we employed fresh samples with branches and leaves to certify the crucial role played by the tree crown. By using the blowdown wind tunnel…
This article investigates the lateral vibration and resonance of bridges, crucial for transportation network integrity and traffic safety. It aims to understand the underlying principles and causes of these vibrations to enhance bridge…
We experimentally investigate jamming in a quasi-two-dimensional granular system of automatically swelling particles and show that a maximum in the height of the first peak of the pair correlation function is a structural signature of the…
A conducting bridge of a single hydrogen molecule between Pt electrodes is formed in a break junction experiment. It has a conductance near the quantum unit, G_0 = 2e^2/h, carried by a single channel. Using point contact spectroscopy three…
This paper considers a "striking outwards" reed coupled to a resonator. This expression, due to Helmholtz, is not discussed here : it corresponds to the most common model of a lip-type valve, when the valve is assumed to be a one degree of…
We numerically investigate the transition of the static quark-antiquark string into a static-light meson-antimeson system. Improving noise reduction techniques, we are able to resolve the signature of string breaking dynamics for Nf=2…
A trimer is an object composed of three centimetrical stainless steel beads equally distant and is predestined to show richer behaviours than the bouncing ball or the bouncing dimer. The rigid trimer has been placed on a plate of a…
The Tribomechadynamics Research Challenge (TRC) was a blind prediction of the vibration behavior of a thin plate clamped on two sides using bolted joints. The first bending mode's natural frequency and damping ratio were requested as…
We introduce a new and simple approach to acquire wide-band/angle blazing operation in one-dimensional metallic gratings supported by equivalent circuit analysis. The gratings that are investigated here are single-groove gratings that…
Creating a complex work of art like music necessitates profound creativity. With recent advancements in deep learning and powerful models such as transformers, there has been huge progress in automatic music generation. In an accompaniment…
Nanotubes behave as semi-flexible polymers in that they can bend by a sizeable amount. When integrating a nanotube in a mechanical resonator, the bending is expected to break the symmetry of the restoring potential. Here we report on a new…
BINGO is a concept for performing a 21cm intensity mapping survey using a single dish telescope. We briefly discuss the idea of intensity mapping and go on to define our single dish concept. This involves a \sim 40 m dish with an array of…
Mixing angles are used to describe the $SU(6)\otimes O(3)$ symmetry breaking in $\left[70,~1^-\right]$ multiplet in the sector of the lowest mass nucleon resonances, which are investigated extensively in constituent quark models for baryon…
We study the dynamics of density fluctuations in the steady state of a non-equilibrium system, the Zero-Range Process on a ring lattice. Measuring the time series of the total number of particles in a \emph{segment} of the lattice, we find…
We observe zero-differential resistance states at low temperatures and moderate direct currents in a bilayer electron system formed by a wide quantum well. Several regions of vanishing resistance evolve from the inverted peaks of…
In this paper we review the system made up by two blocks connected by a string over a smooth pulley with variable tension. One block lies on an horizontal surface and the another block is hanging vertically. We carry out a complete and…
The twisting number of a ribbon knot $K$ is the minimal number of tangle replacements on the symmetry axis of $J \# -J$ for any knot $J$ that is required to produce a symmetric union diagram of $K$. We prove that the twisting number is…
Audio bandwidth extension involves the realistic reconstruction of high-frequency spectra from bandlimited observations. In cases where the lowpass degradation is unknown, such as in restoring historical audio recordings, this becomes a…
Four-dimensional compactifications of string theory provide a controlled set of possible gauge representations accounting for BSM particles and dark sector components. In this review, constraints from perturbative Type II string…
Making use of the gauge/string duality, it is possible to study some aspects of the string breaking phenomenon in the three quark system. Our results point out that the string breaking distance is not universal and depends on quark…
