Volatility is Rough [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
Estimating volatility from recent high frequency data, we revisit the question of the smoothness of the volatility process. Our main result is that log-volatility behaves essentially as a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst exponent H of order 0.1, at any reasonable time scale.

Contact angle influence on the pull-in voltage of microswitches in the presence of capillary and quantum vacuum effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Capillary condensation between the electrodes of microswitches influences the effective pull-in voltage in a manner that depends on the contact angle of the capillary meniscus and the presence of plate surface roughness.

Evaluating Sand Particle Surface Smoothness Using a New Computer-Based Approach to Improve the Characterization of Macroscale Parameters

open access: yesGeotechnics, 2023
The analysis of sands, and the foundation systems with which they interact, are largely dependent on macroscale behavioral parameters that represent the aggregated response of several microscale characteristics. This research paper examines the influence

In-Line Measurement of the Surface Texture of Rolls Using Long Slender Piezoresistive Microprobes

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Long slender piezoresistive silicon microprobes are a new type of sensor for measurement of surface roughness. Their advantage is the ability to measure at speeds of up to 15 mm/s, which is much faster than conventional stylus probes.
