Debris avalanches occur in triangular source areas where initial slides turn into avalanches through further failures and/or eventual soil entrainment. This paper deals with the numerical modeling of the propagation stage which provides information such as the propagation pattern of the mobilized material, its velocity, thickness and run-out distance.
The features of the incompressible flow over a rectangular open cavity are studied both numerically, using linear stability analysis, and experimentally in previous works by the authors. Those approaches refer to different states of the flow.
A model for an accelerator-driven subcritical system to be operated as a source of cold neutrons for Condensed Matter research is developed at the conceptual level. Its baseline layout relies upon proven accelerator, spalattion target and fuel array technologies, and consists in a proton accelerator able to deliver some 67.5 mA of proton beam with kinetic energy 0.6 GeV, a pulse length of 2.86 ms, and repetition rate of 14 Hz.
New telecom wavelength sources of polarization entangled photon pairs allow the distribution of entanglement through metro-access networks using standard equipment.
The mesh approximation of solid models is an important and necessary step for several applications. Particularly when surfaces with T-junctions are presented in the model.
Star coordinates is a well-known multivariate visualization method that produces linear dimensionality reduction mappings through a set of radial axes defined by vectors in an observable space. One of its main drawbacks concerns the difficulty to recover attributes of data samples accurately, which typically lie in the interval, given the locations of the low-dimensional embeddings and the vectors.
