Quantization Games on Social Networks and Language Evolution by Mani, Ankur, Varshney, Lav R., Pentland, Alex

“…Finally, we prove that error in translation along a chain of communication does not grow if and only if the chain consists of agents with shared vocabulary. Numerical examples demonstrate our findings.…”

Polarized fragmenting jet functions in inclusive and exclusive jet production by Kang, Zhong-Bo, Xing, Hongxi, Zhao, Fanyi, Zhou, Yiyu

“…As examples, we provide numerical results for the spin asymmetry A TU , T cos ϕ S − ϕ ̂ S h $$ {A}_{TU,T}^{\cos \left({\phi}_S-{\hat{\phi}}_{S_h}\right)} $$ from polarized semi-inclusive hadron-in-jet production in polarized pp collisions at RHIC kinematics, where a transversely polarized quark would lead to the transverse spin of the final-state hadron inside the jet and is thus sensitive to the transversity fragmentation functions. …”

Impacts of the Sudden Stratospheric Warming on Equatorial Plasma Bubbles: Suppression of EPBs and Quasi-6-Day Oscillations by Aa, Ercha, Pedatella, Nicholas M., Liu, Guiping

“…The combination of these multi-instrument observations and numerical simulations demonstrates that certain planetary waves like the Q6DW can significantly influence the day-to-day variability of EPBs, especially during the SSW period, through modulating the strength of prereversal enhancement and the growth rate of R-T instability via the wind-driven dynamo. …”

Drive-specific selection in multistable mechanical networks by Kedia, Hridesh, Pan, Deng, Slotine, Jean-Jacques, England, Jeremy L.

“…Taking this distinctively lifelike behavior as inspiration, we sought to investigate the more general physical phenomenon of drive-specific selection in nonequilibrium dynamics. To do so, we numerically studied driven disordered mechanical networks of bistable springs possessing a vast number of stable configurations arising from the two stable rest lengths of each spring, thereby capturing the essential physical properties of a broad class of multistable systems. …”

Evaluation of wind resource uncertainty on energy production estimates for offshore wind farms by Klemmer, Kerry S, Condon, Emily P, Howland, Michael F

“…Uncertainty from the data source arises from practical considerations related to the high cost of in situ measurements, especially for offshore wind farms. Instead, numerical weather prediction (NWP) modeling can be used to characterize the more exact location of the proposed site, with the trade-off of an imperfect model form. …”

Beyond the Bioclimatic Chart: An Automated Simulation-Based Method for Assessing Natural Ventilation and Passive Design Potential by Herb, Svenja

“…However, the use of BEM has traditionally been more complex and time-consuming to use as it requires significant knowledge of the underlying building physics and numeric methods to mimic them. This thesis evaluates the bioclimatic chart's accuracy in predicting overheating hours associated with various passive design strategies, through comparison with BEM data. …”

Wave Mechanics in Constructed Oyster Reefs and the Design of Nature-Based Coastal Adaptation by Brice, James Vincent

“…Realizing the promise of nature-based coastal adaptation means building physical, ecological and social infrastructure simultaneously, requiring a design-research methodology that combines an understanding of biological design constraints, physical analysis and community engagement. Physical and numerical wave flume experiments were conducted to investigate mechanisms of wave energy loss in oyster shell gabion-type CORs that place oyster biology in the foreground— particularly, the influence of across-shore width, spacing and structure porosity on wave attenuation under non-breaking wave conditions. …”
