Design and Digital Fabrication of a Parametric Joint for Bamboo Sustainable Structures
2019
The study deepens the design of a joining system for bamboo spatial structure by proposing new and advanced solutions that guarantee maximum freedom of composition to the designer. The joint allows to determine and control parametrically the adaptability to any spatial grid configuration of culms with heterogeneous dimensions. Despite the bamboo being one of the main natural building materials in the field of sustainable architecture, currently, it is not used enough due to the lack of adequate connection systems. Bamboo is a rapidly growing renewable resource, naturally available, which is quite strong and lends itself to structural applications. The paper proposes an innovative approach t…
Nonlocal Isoperimetric Inequality
2019
For the nonlocal perimeter, there is also an isoperimetric inequality, and here the main hypothesis used on J is that it is radially nonincreasing.
Recent results from AMANDA II
2003
Abstract We present new data taken with the AMANDA-II neutrino telescope array. The AMANDA-II upgrade was completed at the beginning of 2000. It significantly extends the sensitivity of the 10-string AMANDA-B10 detector to high- and ultrahigh-energy neutrino fluxes into regions of interest for probing current astrophysical models which remain unexplored by other experiments.
APXS and MIMOS IIA: Planetary and terrestrial applications
2011
Both Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) and the Miniaturized Moessbauer Spectrometer (MIMOS II) have shown their performances in space missions and terrestrial applications. Taking advantage of the challenges of space missions both instruments have become very powerful tools, even small in mass and dimensions.
Resolving the atmospheric octant by an improved measurement of the reactor angle
2017
Taking into account the current global information on neutrino oscillation parameters we forecast the capabilities of future long baseline experiments such as DUNE and T2HK in settling the atmospheric octant puzzle. We find that a good measurement of the reactor angle $\theta_{13}$ plays a key role in fixing the octant of the atmospheric angle $\theta_{23}$ with such future accelerator neutrino studies.
Types I and II intermittencies in a cascade laser model
1995
Abstract We report on types I and II intermittencies found in a cascade laser model. A continuous transition from one to another type of intermittency, which involves the coexistence of both types of laminar phases within the same time series, is found. Type II intermittency has special characteristics such as its origin at a frequency locked two-torus. When frequency unlocked this torus bifurcates to a three-torus, further giving rise to a type II intermittent like behaviour with new features during the laminar phases.

An Approximating-Interpolatory Subdivision Scheme.
2011
International audience; In the last decade, study and construction of quad/triangle subdivision schemes have attracted attention. The quad/triangle subdivision starts with a control mesh consisting of both quads and triangles and produces ner and ner meshes with quads and triangles (Fig. 1). Design- ers often want to model certain regions with quad meshes and others with triangle meshes to get better visual qual- ity of subdivision surfaces. Smoothness analysis tools exist for regular quad/triangle vertices. Moreover C1 and C2 quad/triangle schemes (for regular vertices) have been con- structed. But to our knowledge, there are no quad/triangle schemes that uni es approximating and interpola…
Bézier Solutions of the Wave Equation
2004
We study polynomial solutions in the Bezier form of the wave equation in dimensions one and two. We explicitly determine which control points of the Bezier solution at two different times fix the solution.
Exact Voronoi diagram of smooth convex pseudo-circles: General predicates, and implementation for ellipses
2013
International audience; We examine the problem of computing exactly the Voronoi diagram (via the dual Delaunay graph) of a set of, possibly intersecting, smooth convex \pc in the Euclidean plane, given in parametric form. Pseudo-circles are (convex) sites, every pair of which has at most two intersecting points. The Voronoi diagram is constructed incrementally. Our first contribution is to propose robust and efficient algorithms, under the exact computation paradigm, for all required predicates, thus generalizing earlier algorithms for non-intersecting ellipses. Second, we focus on \kcn, which is the hardest predicate, and express it by a simple sparse $5\times 5$ polynomial system, which a…
