Data-driven quasiconformal morphodynamic flows

Posted by dbos Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Salem Mosleh, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan, , | Summary: Temporal imaging of biological epithelial structures yields shape data at discrete time points, leading to a natural question: how can we reconstruct the most likely path of growth patterns consistent with these discrete observations? We present […]

De-aberration for transcranial photoacoustic computed tomography through an adult human skull

Posted by dbos Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Yousuf Aborahama, Karteekeya Sastry, Manxiu Cui, Yang Zhang, Yilin Luo | Summary: Noninvasive transcranial photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) of the human brain, despite its clinical potential, remains impeded by the acoustic distortion induced by the human skull. The distortion, which is attributed to the markedly different […]

On the relevance of lift force modelling in turbulent wall flows with small inertial particles

Posted by Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Pengyu Shi, Matteo Parsani, Pedro Costa, | Summary: In particle-laden turbulent wall flows, lift forces can influence the near-wall turbulence. This has been recently observed in particle-resolved simulations, which, however, are too expensive to be used in upscaled models. Instead, point-particle simulations have been the […]

Dualtronics: leveraging both faces of polar semiconductors

Posted by dbos Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Len van Deurzen, Eungkyun Kim, Naomi Pieczulewski, Zexuan Zhang, Anna Feduniewicz-Zmuda | Summary: Unlike non-polar semiconductors such as silicon, the broken inversion symmetry of the wide bandgap semiconductor gallium nitride leads to a large electronic polarization along a unique crystal axis. This makes the two surfaces of […]
