Experimental and numerical investigation of evaporating fuel films in combustion
Applications in Energy and Combustion Science, 2021 Fuel films evaporating throughout combustion can cause soot formation in spark-ignited direct-injection (DI) engines. In this work, laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), combustion imaging, 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and a low-dimensional model ...

Van der Waals effects on grazing incidence fast atom diffraction for H/LiF(001) [PDF]
, 2016 We theoretically address grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD) for H atoms impinging on a LiF(001) surface. Our model combines a description of the H-LiF(001) interaction obtained from Density Functional Theory calculations with a semi-quantum ...

Biologically plausible deep learning -- but how far can we go with shallow networks? [PDF]
, 2019 Training deep neural networks with the error backpropagation algorithm is considered implausible from a biological perspective. Numerous recent publications suggest elaborate models for biologically plausible variants of deep learning, typically defining

PATH MULTIMODALITY IN A FEEDFORWARD SNN MODULE, USING LIF WITH LATENCY MODEL [PDF]
Neural Network World, 2016 In this paper, simulation results of a feedforward SNN affected by synchronous stimuli are discussed. The network transmission properties are investigated in function of both neuron and network parameters; in particular, the connection probability and the synaptic strengths are considered.

Symmetry reduction in multiband Hamiltonians for semiconductor quantum dots: The role of interfaces and higher energy bands [PDF]
, 2011 The role of interfaces and higher bands on the electronic structure of embedded semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) was investigated. The term in the multiband k p Hamiltonian that captures the effect of interface band mixing was derived starting from the
