Role of non-Markovianity and backflow of information in the speed of quantum evolution (2017)
Journal Article
Cianciaruso, M., Maniscalco, S., & Adesso, G. (2017). Role of non-Markovianity and backflow of information in the speed of quantum evolution. Physical Review A, 96(1), Article 012105. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.96.012105

We consider a two-level open quantum system undergoing pure dephasing, dissipative, or multiply decohering dynamics and show that whenever the dynamics is non-Markovian, the initial speed of evolution is a monotonic function of the relevant physical...

Waterjet and laser etching: the nonlinear inverse problem (2017)
Journal Article
Bilbao Guillerna, A., Axinte, D. A., Billingham, J., & Cadot, G. (2017). Waterjet and laser etching: the nonlinear inverse problem. Royal Society Open Science, 4(161031), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.161031

In waterjet and laser milling, material is removed from a solid surface in a succession of layers to create a new shape, in a depth-controlled manner. The inverse problem consists of defining the control parameters, in particular, the two-dimensional... Read More about Waterjet and laser etching: the nonlinear inverse problem.

Numerical modelling of MPA-CVD reactors with the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (2017)
Journal Article
Houston, P., & Sime, N. (2017). Numerical modelling of MPA-CVD reactors with the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method. Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 50(29), Article 295202. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6463/aa77dc

In this article we develop a fully self consistent mathematical model describing the formation of a hydrogen plasma in a microwave power assisted chemical vapour deposition (MPA-CVD) reactor employed for the manufacture of synthetic diamond. The unde... Read More about Numerical modelling of MPA-CVD reactors with the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method.

The TPS Direct Transport: a new method for transporting deformations in the Size-and-shape Space (2017)
Journal Article
Varano, V., Gabriele, S., Teresi, L., Dryden, I. L., Puddu, P. E., Torromeo, C., & Piras, P. (in press). The TPS Direct Transport: a new method for transporting deformations in the Size-and-shape Space. International Journal of Computer Vision, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11263-017-1031-9

Modern shape analysis allows the fine comparison of shape changes occurring between different objects. Very often the classic machineries of Generalized Procrustes Analysis and Principal Component Analysis are used in order to contrast the shape chan...

General relativity from three-forms in seven dimensions (2017)
Journal Article
Krasnov, K. (2017). General relativity from three-forms in seven dimensions. Physics Letters B, 772, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2017.06.025

We consider a certain theory of 3-forms in 7 dimensions, and study its dimensional reduction to 4D, compactifying the 7-dimensional manifold on the 3-sphere of a fixed radius. We show that the resulting 4D theory is (Riemannian) General Relativity (G... Read More about General relativity from three-forms in seven dimensions.

Interpolation of intermolecular potentials using Gaussian processes (2017)
Journal Article
Uteva, E., Graham, R. S., Wilkinson, R. D., & Wheatley, R. J. (2017). Interpolation of intermolecular potentials using Gaussian processes. Journal of Chemical Physics, 147(16), Article 161706. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4986489

A procedure is proposed to produce intermolecular potential energy surfaces from limited data. The procedure involves generation of geometrical configurations using a Latin hypercube design, with a maximin criterion, based on inverse internuclear dis...

Modelling of nonlinear wave-buoy dynamics using constrained variational methods (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kalogirou, A., Bokhove, O., & Ham, D. (2017, June). Modelling of nonlinear wave-buoy dynamics using constrained variational methods. Presented at ASME 2017 36th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering, Trondheim, Norway

We consider a comprehensive mathematical and numerical strategy to couple water-wave motion with rigid ship dynamics using variational principles. We present a methodology that applies to three-dimensional potential flow water waves and ship dynamics...

Extraction of synaptic input properties in vivo (2017)
Journal Article
Puggioni, P., Jelitai, M., Duguid, I., & van Rossum, M. C. (2017). Extraction of synaptic input properties in vivo. Neural Computation, 29(7), https://doi.org/10.1162/NECO_a_00975

Knowledge of synaptic input is crucial for understanding synaptic integration and ultimately neural function. However, in vivo, the rates at which synaptic inputs arrive are high, so that it is typically impossible to detect single events. We show he...
