      Let S be a point set in the plane such that each of its elements is colored either red or blue. A matching of S with rectangles is any set of pairwise-disjoint axis-aligned closed rectangles such that each rectangle contains ...
    • Control of deviations and prediction of surface roughness from micro machining of THz waveguides using ...

      By using acoustic emission (AE) it is possible to control deviations and surface quality during micro milling operations. The method of micro milling is used to manufacture a submillimetre waveguide where micro machining ...
    • Cavity and other radial substructures in the disk around HD 97048

      Context. Gaps, cavities, and rings in circumstellar disks are signposts of disk evolution and planet-disk interactions. We follow the recent suggestion that Herbig Ae/Be disks with a flared disk harbor a cavity, and ...
    • Chi-squared smoothed adaptive particle-filtering based prognosis 
      Ley, Christopher P.; Orchard Concha, Marcos (Academic Press-Elsevier, 2017)
      This paper presents a novel form of selecting the likelihood function of the standard sequential importance sampling/re-sampling particle filter (SIR-PF) with a combination of sliding window smoothing and chi-square statistic ...
    • A search for pre- and proto-brown dwarfs in the dark cloud Barnard 30 with ALMA

      Context.The origin of brown dwarfs is still under debate. While some models predict a star-like formation scenario, others invokea substellar mass embryo ejection, a stellar disk fragmentation, or the photo-evaporation of ...
    • Linear elastic fracture simulation directly from CAD: 2D NURBS-based implementation and role of tip enrichment 
      Peng, X.; Atroshchenko, E.; Kerfriden, P.; Bordas, S. P.A. (Springer, 2017)
      We propose a method for simulating linear elastic crack growth through an isogeometric boundary element method directly from a CAD model and without any mesh generation. To capture the stress singularity around the crack ...
