Micron-scale spacing of interleaved electrodes and high-dielectric ceramics in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) provide exceptionally high capacitances in small volumes. This has led to MLCCs being the preferred type of capacitor in a wide range of
3D models of humans are commonly used within computer graphics and vision, and so the ability to distinguish between body shapes is an important shape retrieval problem. We extend our recent paper which provided a benchmark for testing non-rigid 3D shape
Numerous mathematical tools intended to optimize rate constants employed in detailed kinetic models and make them consistent with experimental data have been reported in the literature. A typical methodology begins with the assignment of uncertainties in

Generating and calibrating forces that are transferable across a range of state-points remains a challenging problem in coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD). In this work, we present a Bayesian correction algorithm, inspired by ideas from
Many researchers use simulation to investigate network congestion, often finding congestion spread can be modeled as percolation, spreading slowly under increasing load until a critical point, then spreading quickly through the network. The researchers

Micromagnetic simulations are an important tool for the investigation of magnetic materials. Micromagnetic software uses various techniques to solve differential equations, partial or ordinary, involved in the dynamic simulations. Euler, Runge-Kutta, Adams
The determination of minority-carrier lifetimes and surface recombination velocities is essential for the development of semiconductor technologies such as solar cells. The recent development of the two-photon time-resolved microscopy technique allows for
We examine the problem of creating a random realizations of very large degree sequences. While fast in practice, the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for selecting a realization has limited usefulness for creating large graphs because of memory
The importance of particle shape in affecting the behaviour of powders and other particulate systems has long been recognised, but until fairly recently particle shape information has been rather difficult to obtain and use compared to its more well-known

Industry and other institutions alike are increasingly using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to inform their materials development decisions. Concurrently, there is growing awareness that, in order to make such strategies routine and reliable

A number of sensing technologies using a variety of transduction principles have been proposed for the purpose of non-invasive chemical sensing. A fundamental problem common to all sensing technologies is determining what features of the transducer's
Clocks are deeply integrated into practically every cyber-physical system either explicitly as provenance for time-triggered actions, or implicitly in cases where cyber components operate in lock step with physical dynamics. Recognizing the criticality of
Given an undirected network, we describe a two- dimensional graphical measure based on the con- nected component distribution of its degree-limited subgraphs. This process yields an unambiguous vi- sual portrait which reveals important network proper- ties
Many researchers have used simulation to investigate the spread of congestion in networks. These researchers often find that congestion can be modeled as a percolation process, spreading slowly under increasing load until a critical point. After the
