Wave Tracing: Generalizing The Path Integral To Wave Optics
Abstract Modeling the wave nature of light and the propagation and diffraction of electromagnetic fields is crucial for the accurate simulation of many phenomena, yet wave simulations are significantly more computationally complex than classical ray‐based models.

Adaptive Optical Layers: Efficient Tall Cell Grids for Liquid Simulation
Abstract Tall cell grids have been proposed as an efficient approach to accelerate large‐scale liquid simulation. In this framework, regions near the liquid surface are discretized with regular grids, while regions farther away are represented by elongated rectangular cells.

L'écoulement dans une tuyère de fusée accélérée (première note)
The effect of rocket acceleration on the internal nozzle flow is investigated in a first, one-dimensional, steady approximation. At this approximation, the external ballistics is uncoupled from the internal ballistics but the acceleration term couples ...

Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

Ballistics can be defined as the science of firearms, gun systems and their accompanying propellants and projectiles. More generally, it is the study of the behaviour of projectiles and how they are delivered to and defeat a target.

Maturation of spinal motor control through developmental changes in ion currents
Abstract figure legend Ion channels of spinal neurons have been shown to change during development in a wide range of species. These changes occur at specific stages of development. An important developmental process is the maturation of motor control by which the body acquires new movements or refines movements already present.

The effect of muzzle blast wave on light screen in external ballistic measurement
IntroductionIn measuring initial velocity, light screen detectors (LSD) are positioned closer to the muzzle. The light screen of the LSD can be affected by the muzzle blast wave (MBW), resulting in an inaccurate initial velocity.MethodsA method for analyzing the effect of the MBW as it passes through the light screen is proposed in this article. First,

Quantifying Visuomotor Maturation From Middle Childhood to Adolescence
ABSTRACT Proficiency in fine motor skills improves significantly from childhood into adolescence; however, a longitudinal approach has not been used to examine the maturation trajectory of eye–hand coordination. Capturing individual performance changes by following the same cohort over time could offer unique insight into the developmental processes ...
