Bounded Complete Embedding Graphs, Extended Version
(2015-07-08)
This is the extended version of my dissertation, "Bounded Complete Embedding Graphs." This version is presented in three parts, each in a separate file.
[Part 1] Bounded Complete Embedding Graphs
[Part 2] Extension ...
Simulation studies of a recorder in three dimensions
(2015-10-12)
The aeroacoustics of a recorder are explored using a direct numerical simulation based on the Navier–Stokes equations in three dimensions. The qualitative behavior is studied using spatial maps of the air pressure and ...
Explaining the Railsback stretch in terms of the inharmonicity of piano tones and sensory dissonance
(2015-10-26)
The perceptual results of Plomp and Levelt for the sensory dissonance of a pair of
pure tones are used to estimate the dissonance of pairs of piano tones. By using the spectra of tones measured for a real piano, the effect ...
Communication: Water activation and splitting by single metal-atom anions
(2020-06-25)
We report experimental and computational results pertaining to the activation and splitting of single water molecules by single atomic platinum anions. The anion photoelectron spectra of [Pt(H2O)](-), formed under different ...
Two-dimensional global hybrid simulation of pressure evolution and waves in the magnetosheath
(2020-06-30)
A two-dimensional hybrid simulation is carried out for the global structure of the magnetosheath. Quasi-perpendicular magnetosonic/fast mode waves with large-amplitude in-phase oscillations of the magnetic field and the ...
Micro- and Macroevolutionary Trade-Offs in Plant-Feeding Insects
(2023-05-17)
A long-standing hypothesis asserts that plant-feeding insects specialize on particular host plants because of negative interactions (trade-offs) between adaptations to alternative hosts, yet empirical evidence for such ...
Fast Magnetosonic Waves Observed by Van Allen Probes: Testing Local Wave Excitation Mechanism
(2020-05-28)
Linear Vlasov theory and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations for electromagnetic fluctuations in a homogeneous, magnetized, and collisionless plasma are used to investigate a fast magnetosonic wave event observed by the Van ...
Global images of trapped ring current ions during main phase of 17 March 2015 geomagnetic storm as observed by TWINS
(2020-06-03)
A unique view of the trapped particles in the inner magnetosphere provided by energetic neutral atom (ENA) imaging is used to observe the dynamics of the spatial structure and the pitch angle anisotropy on a global scale ...
Proton velocity ring-driven instabilities in the inner magnetosphere: Linear theory and particle-in-cell simulations
(2022-09-29)
Linear dispersion theory and electromagnetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are used to investigate linear growth and nonlinear saturation of the proton velocity ring-driven instabilities, namely, ion Bernstein instability ...
Stellar Blend Image Classification Using Computationally Efficient Gaussian Processes (MuyGPs)
(2024-04-05)
Stellar blends are a challenge in visualizing celestial bodies and are typically disambiguated through
expensive methods. To address this, we propose an automated pipeline to distinguish single stars
and blended stars ...
TRANSIENT SCATTERING FROM DIELECTRIC CYLINDERS - E-FIELD, H-FIELD, AND COMBINED FIELD SOLUTIONS
(2022-10-05)
In this work, the problem of transient scattering by arbitrarily shaped two-dimensional dielectric cylinders is solved using the marching-on-in-time technique. The dielectric problem is approached via the equivalence ...
Cluster perturbation theory. V. Theoretical foundation for cluster linear target states
(2020-05-20)
Cluster perturbation (CP) theory was developed in Paper I [F. Pawlowski et al., J. Chem. Phys. 150, 134108 (2019)] for a coupled cluster (CC) target state and is extended in this paper to comprehend a cluster linear (CL) ...
Reproductive Value and the Stochastic Demography of Age-Structured Populations
(2022-09-15)
The dynamics of an age-structured population in a fluctuating environment is determined by the stochastic individual contributions from annual survival and fecundity to the total reproductive value of the population the ...
Propagule size and sex ratio influence colonisation dynamics after introduction of a non-native lizard
(2022-01-28)
1. The composition of founding populations plays an important role in colonisation dynamics and can influence population growth during early stages of biological invasion. Specifically, founding populations with small ...
Multiple Colonizations Lead to Cryptic Biodiversity in an Island Ecosystem: Comparative Phylogeography of Anchialine Shrimp Species in the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan
(2022-03-04)
Archipelagos of the Indo-West Pacific are considered to be among the richest in the world in biodiversity,
and phylogeographic studies generally support either the
center of origin or the center of accumulation hypothesis ...
Advances in Serpentine Geoecology: A Retrospective

Life History Aspects of Exyra semicrocea (Pitcher Plant Moth) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
(2022-03-03)
With as little as 3% of southeastern Coastal Plain pitcher plant bogs remaining, it is important to understand the life-history aspects of the endemic organisms that
comprise this community. In this study, we elucidate ...
