Zariski Closures and Subgroup Separability [PDF]
The main result of this article is a refinement of the well-known subgroup separability results of Hall and Scott for free and surface groups. We show that for any finitely generated subgroup, there is a finite dimensional representation of the free or ...

This thesis investigates several free-surface phenomena to illustrate the role of viscous stresses. In part I (chapters 1-4), we study the impact of spherical liquid drops on non-wetting substrates. After impact on a rigid substrate, a falling liquid drop deforms and spreads, owing to the normal reaction force.

Microscopic Observation of Plastic Deformation of Polycrystalline Aluminum by Laser Scanning Microscope [PDF]
Free surface of polycrystalline metal becomes roughened after plastic deformation. The surface roughening is closely related to the inhomogeneity of polycrystalline metals, that is, to the inhomogeneous plastic deformation of respective grains.

DRÆM – A discriminatively trained reconstruction embedding for surface anomaly detection [PDF]
Visual surface anomaly detection aims to detect local image regions that significantly deviate from normal appearance. Recent surface anomaly detection methods rely on generative models to accurately reconstruct the normal areas and to fail on anomalies.

New insights into the properties of pubescent surfaces: peach fruit as model [PDF]
The surface of peach (Prunus persica ‘Calrico’) is covered by a dense indumentum, which may serve various protective purposes. With the aim of relating structure to function, the chemical composition, morphology, and hydrophobicity of the peach skin was ...

A Micropump Driven by Marangoni Effect
A micropump driven by the thermocapillary convection is proposed. The purpose of this study is to examine the flow structure in liquid region and the effect of the geometry on the performance of the present micropump. There are two significant advantages

Investigation of Free Surface Turbulence Damping in RANS Simulations for Complex Free Surface Flows
The modelling of complex free surface flows over weirs and in the vicinity of bridge piers is presented in a numerical model emulating open channel flow based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations.

Hydrodynamic Forces of a Semi-Submerged Cylinder in an Oscillatory Flow
This work experimentally investigated the performance of hydrodynamic forces on a semi-submerged cylinder under an oscillatory flow. To generate the equivalent oscillatory flow, the semi-submerged cylinder is forced to oscillate in several combinations ...
