Cactus Mechanisms: Optimal Differential Privacy Mechanisms in the Large-Composition Regime [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Most differential privacy mechanisms are applied (i.e., composed) numerous times on sensitive data. We study the design of optimal differential privacy mechanisms in the limit of a large number of compositions. As a consequence of the law of large numbers, in this regime the best privacy mechanism is the one that minimizes the Kullback-Leibler ...

Microfibre-Functionalised Silk Hydrogels
Cells, 2023 Silk hydrogels have shown potential for tissue engineering applications, but several gaps and challenges, such as a restricted ability to form hydrogels with tuned mechanics and structural features, still limit their utilisation.

Local Priority Mechanisms [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We introduce a novel family of mechanisms for constrained allocation problems which we call local priority mechanisms. These mechanisms are parameterized by a function which assigns a set of agents, the local compromisers, to every infeasible allocation. The mechanism then greedily attempts to match agents with their top choices. Whenever it reaches an

The Effect of Obliquity of Slip in Normal Faults on Distribution of Open Fractures
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 Close to surface, cohesive rocks fail in extension, which results in open fractures that can be several tens of meters wide, so-called massively dilatant faults. These open fractures make fault slip analysis in rifts challenging, as kinematic markers are

A tensorial approach to computational continuum mechanics using object-oriented techniques
, 1998 In this article the principles of the field operation and manipulation (FOAM) C++ class library for continuum mechanics are outlined. Our intention is to make it as easy as possible to develop reliable and efficient computational continuum-mechanics ...

On the link between mechanics and thermal properties: mechanothermics
New Journal of Physics, 2023 We report on the theoretical derivation of macroscopic thermal properties (specific heat, thermal conductivity) of an electrically insulating rod connected to two reservoirs, from the linear superposition of its mechanical mode Brownian motions.

Mechanical Design of an Electromagnetic Calorimeter Prototype for a Future Muon Collider
Instruments, 2022 Measurement of physics processes at new energy frontier experiments requires excellent spatial, time, and energy resolutions to resolve the structure of collimated high-energy jets.

Topology-optimization based design of multi-degree-of-freedom compliant mechanisms (mechanisms with multiple pseudo-mobility) [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Unlike conventional mechanisms, compliant mechanisms produce the desired deformations by exploiting elastic strain and do not need, therefore, moving parts. The number of degrees of freedom of a conventional mechanism, also called mobility, is the number of independent coordinates needed to define a configuration of the mechanism.

, 2005 Classical statistical average values are generally generalized to average values of quantum mechanics, it is discovered that quantum mechanics is direct generalization of classical statistical mechanics, and we generally deduce both a new general ...

Elastic and Irreversible Bending of Tree and Shrub Branches Under Cantilever Loads
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Tree and shrub branches subjected to cantilever loads such as intercepted snowfall undergo, in addition to the familiar instantaneous elastic bending, a conspicuous retarded-elastic bending, which is commonly 30–50% of their instantaneous bending and ...
