We extend simple opinion models to obtain stable but continuously evolving communities. Our scope is to meet a challenge raised by sociologists of generating "structures that last from non lasting entities". We achieve this by introducing two kinds o...
A topological setting is defined to study the complexities of the relation of equivalence of embeddings (or "position") of a Banach space into another and of the relation of isomorphism of complex structures on a real Banach space. The following resu...
Dec 19, 2024 · Explore the fundamentals of sociology, from social structures and relationships to the importance of historical context. Learn how the sociological imagination connects personal …
Colloidosomes provide a possibility to encapsulate oily substances in water in the form of core-in-shell structures. In this study, we produced microcapsules with shell from colloidal particles, where the interparticle openings are blocked by mixed l...
Joyce structures were introduced by T. Bridgeland in the context of the space of stability conditions of a three-dimensional Calabi-Yau category and its associated Donaldson-Thomas invariants. In subsequent work, T. Bridgeland and I. Strachan showed...
The living body is composed of innumerable fine and complex structures and although these structures have been studied in the past, a vast amount of information pertaining to them still remains unknown. When attempting to observe these ultra-structur...
Measured damping coefficients of six different perforated micromechanical test structures are compared with damping coefficients given by published compact models. The motion of the perforated plates is almost translational, the surface shape is re...
BIRDS stands for "Bioinformatics and Information Retrieval Data Structures analysis and design" and is a 4-year project (2016--2019) that has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sk...
Gupta et al. [1, 2] describe a very beautiful application of algebraic geometry to lattice structures composed of quadric of revolution (quador) implicit surfaces. However, the shapes created have concave edges where the stubs meet, and such edges ca...
To reduce the stress concentration and ensure the structural safety for lattice structure designs, in this paper, a new optimization framework is developed for the optimal design of graded lattice structures, innovatively integrating fillet designs a...
The development of Additive Manufacturing (AM) for the fabrication of metallic parts allows structures to be directly manufactured from 3D models. The Electron Beam Melting (EBM) technology is an example of AM technologies that enables the manufactur...
When electrons are driven through unconventional magnetic structures, such as skyrmions, they experience emergent electromagnetic fields that originate several Hall effects. Independently, ground state emergent magnetic fields can also lead to orbita...
The key open problem of string theory remains its non-perturbative completion to M-theory. A decisive hint to its inner workings comes from numerous appearances of higher structures in the limits of M-theory that are already understood, such as highe...
This postdoctoral thesis starts by reviewing the historic development of airplane structures and high lift devices from an engineering point of view. However, the main purpose of this document is the development of a novel concept for shape changing,...
We consider multicomponent local Poisson structures of the form $\mathcal P_3 + \mathcal P_1$, under the assumption that the third order term $\mathcal P_3$ is Darboux-Poisson and non-degenerate, and study the Poisson compatibility of two such struct...
The construction of gauge theories beyond the realm of Lie groups and algebras leads one to consider Lie groupoids and algebroids equipped with additional geometrical structures which, for gauge invariance of the construction, need to satisfy particu...
In this paper we describe operads encoding two different kinds of compatibility of algebraic structures. We show that there exist decompositions of these in terms of black and white products and we prove that they are Koszul for a large class of al...
The article provides a new approach to creating hierarchical structure of file system. First, it gives overview of the existing ways of storing files in current operating systems. Second, it describes the new way of building structures of a file syst...
The Software as a Service (SaaS) model is a distribution and licensing model that leverages pricing structures and subscriptions to profit. The utilization of such structures allows Information Systems (IS) to meet a diverse range of client needs, wh...
I wanted to share that all data structures from the [datastructures-js](https://datastructures-js.info/) library (e.g. `Queue`, `Deque`, `Heap`, `BinarySearchTree`, `AvlTree`) work in JavaScript, sinc...
