Predicting Individual Well-Being in Teamwork Contexts Based on Speech Features by Zeulner, Tobias, Hagerer, Gerhard Johann, Müller, Moritz, Vazquez, Ignacio, Gloor, Peter A.

“…We focus on how speech behavior is perceived by team members to improve their well-being. Our main contribution is the assembly of an integrated toolchain to perform multi-modal extraction of robust speech features in noisy field settings and to explore which features are predictors of self-reported satisfaction scores. …”

A sharp immersed method for 2D flow-body interactions using the vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations by Ji, Xinjie, Gabbard, James, van Rees, Wim M.

“…Here we introduce a sharp-interface approach based on the immersed interface method to handle the one- and two-way coupling between an incompressible flow and one or more rigid bodies using the 2D vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations. Our main contributions are three-fold. First, we develop and analyze a moving boundary treatment for sharp immersed methods that can be applied to PDEs with implicitly defined boundary conditions, such as those commonly imposed on the vorticity field. …”

Phase-Field Computational Framework for Addressing Challenges in Solid-State Batteries by Schwietert, Tammo K, Ombrini, Pierfrancesco, Ootes, Laura S, Oostrum, Leon, Azizi, Victor, Cogswell, Daniel, Zhu, Juner, Bazant, Martin Z, Wagemaker, Marnix, Vasileiadis, Alexandros

“…All-solid-state batteries are attracting increasing interest due to their higher promised energy densities without the use of flammable liquid electrolytes. Two main challenges for solid-state batteries are contact loss and interphase formation; these play a central role in the quality of the solid-electrolyte–electrode interfaces. …”
