Coherent superposition of current flows in an atomtronic quantum interference device by Aghamalyan, Davit, Cominotti, Marco, Rizzi, Matteo, Rossini, Davide, Hekking, Frank, Minguzzi, Anna, Kwek, Leong-Chuan, Amico, Luigi

“…The goal of the present study is to corroborate the emergence of an effective two-level system in such a setup and to assess its quality, in terms of its inner resolution and its separation from the rest of the many-body spectrum, across the different physical regimes. In order to achieve this aim, we examine the dependence of the qubit energy gap on the bosonic density, the interaction strength, and the barrier depth, and we show how the superposition between current states appears in the momentum distribution (time-of-flight) images. …”

Modeling Electrochemical and Rheological Characteristics of Suspension-Based Electrodes for Redox Flow Cells by Majji, Madhu V, Neyhouse, Bertrand J, Matteucci, Nicholas J, Lennon, Kyle R, Mallia, Christopher T, Fenton Jr., Alexis M, Swan, James W, Brushett, Fikile R

“…Importantly, we expound relevant operating regimes—based on a subset of dimensionless groups—that inform practical operating envelopes, ultimately helping to guide FSE and cell engineering for electrochemical systems.…”

Mechanistic framework for reduced-order models in soft materials: Application to three-dimensional granular intrusion by Agarwal, Shashank, Goldman, Daniel I., Kamrin, Ken

“…Soft materials often display complex behaviors that transition through apparent solid- and fluid-like regimes. While a growing number of microscale simulation methods exist for these materials, reduced-order models that encapsulate the macroscale physics are often desired to predict how external bodies interact with soft media. …”

An Empirical, Deterministic Design Theory for Compact Drip Emitter Labyrinths by Ghodgaonkar, Aditya, Welsh, Emily, Judge, Benjamin, Bono, Michael, Winter, Amos G

“…The experiments shed light on two distinct fluid dynamic regimes in the labyrinth based on the tip gap size and provide an empirical expression between the two. …”

The Matter of the Hold: Housing futures and the paradigm of the ship by Donovan, Inge, Pankhurst, David

“…In light of the increasing shift towards buildings as storehouses of material to be held for future reuse, and as vessels of carbon sequestration, our thesis explores how design for the uneven, yet cyclical ebbs and flows of renewable resources erodes architecture’s traditionally rigid temporal boundaries of planning, construction, and occupancy, and produces temporally dynamic regimes of figure and form. The collection, administration and reconfiguration of waste materials results in the creation of new, regenerative forms of collective living that challenge the boom-and-bust logic of investment in public infrastructures.…”

Crack healing in reactive MgO-slag system via bacteria induced carbonate precipitation by Zheng, Yanying

“…In this study, crack healing in reactive MgO-slag system was investigated via bacteria induced carbonate precipitation. Self-healing regimes such as alternating bacteria medium soaking and carbon dioxide curing cycles and alternating water and carbon dioxide cycles were adopted in this project. …”

Isentropic diagnostics of mean circulation and water vapour budget for the Asian monsoon by Lee, Shao Yi

“…These comparisons may not reflect the actual dynamical regimes that local “Hadleys” lie in, because the global zonal mean meridional circulation is not representative of the meridional circulation in the monsoon and oceanic regions. …”

Characterization of structural and optical properties of Zinc Oxide thin films by Liu, Yuchan

“…The objective of this thesis is to determine the optical properties of ZnO thin films with spectroscopic ellipsometry in a wide spectral region covering the both regimes of below and above the ZnO bandgap. Three dispersion models, namely, Sellmeier dispersion model, Cauchy model and Forouhi-Bloomer model, were used and evaluated to determine the optical constants of ZnO thin films below the energy band gap. …”

Investigating whether executive functioning, working memory capacity, & long-term memory can be improved by cognitive training by Lim, Ming Ze

“…Paired-sample t-tests indicated that two training regimes (i.e., daily meditation training and practicing retrieval) led to changes that improve participants’ ability to store and retrieve episodic information formed while reading text passages. …”

Network analysis and data science for finance: from traditional markets to decentralised exchanges by Miori, D

“…Otherwise, we study returns of an heterogeneous set of indices belonging to multiple asset classes, and characterise their network of evolving correlations to identify market regimes that are found to have distinguishable macroeconomic features. …”

Conservation planning in Europe: ecological, financial, and political challenges by Hannemann, H

“…Probably unsurprisingly, the distribution of biodiversity in Europe mostly does not match political entities, all of which have individual aims, financial resources, and biodiversity management regimes in place. All have a significant impact on biodiversity conservation planning because i) the use of geo-politically truncated data influences modelling predictions, ii) financial commitment to biodiversity conservation varies between countries influencing success outcomes, iii) biodiversity persistence in current and future climate change does not recognise geo-political boundaries, and iv) many of the key environmental frameworks are implemented within countries and do not considering trans-boundary issues.…”

Ammonia volatilization from urea as affected by tropical‐based palm oil mill effluent (Pome) and peat by Siva, K. B., Aminuddin, H., Husni, M. H. A., Manas, A. R.

“…The organic materials were separately matrixed with urea into pelletized form and evaluated under laboratory regimes for the per cent NH3 volatilization, pH change, and ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N) recovery. …”

Krylov complexity in quantum field theory, and beyond by Avdoshkin, Alexander, Dymarsky, Anatoly, Smolkin, Michael

“…We discuss the temperature dependence of Lanczos coefficients and note that the relationship between the growth of Lanczos coefficients and chaos may only hold for the sufficiently late, truly asymptotic regime, governed by physics at the UV cutoff. Contrary to previous suggestions, we demonstrate scenarios in which Krylov complexity in quantum field theory behaves qualitatively differently from holographic complexity.…”

Dynamics of a self-interacting sheet in shear flow by Funkenbusch, William T., Silmore, Kevin S., Doyle, Patrick S.

“…We use kinetic and energetic arguments to explain why sheets adopt certain conformations within the folded regime. Finally, we calculate the stresslet and find that, even in the absence of thermal fluctuations and multiple sheet interactions, shear-thinning followed by shear-thickening behavior can appear.…”

Learning from the Nordic Welfare Model : what and how? by Xiong, Jieru

“…Thus, the notion that there must be a trade-off between economic performance and a more aggressive welfare regime should be examined more thoroughly. The debate for policy makers should perhaps be framed with regard to where the balance should be between growth and equity rather than a trade-off. …”

A principles-led approach to information assurance and governance in local government by Brett, Mark

“…This practice-based paper explores a principles-led approach to cyber information governance for local authorities (LAs) in England and Wales, while linking it to a corporate information governance regime to support cyber security and resilience. Over the past 15 years the author has worked with several LA regional cyber security groups known as WARPs (Warning, Advice and Reporting Points). …”

FedCBO: reaching group consensus in clustered Federated learning through Consensus-Based Optimization by Carrillo, JA, Trillos, NG, Li, S, Zhu, Y

“…Our model is motivated by rigorous mathematical reasoning, including a mean field analysis describing the large number of particles limit of our particle system, as well as convergence guarantees for the simultaneous global optimization of general non-convex objective functions (corresponding to the loss functions of each cluster of users) in the mean-field regime. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of our FedCBO algorithm compared to other state-of-the-art methods and help validate our methodological and theoretical work.…”
