Sound-driven single-electron transfer in a circuit of coupled quantum rails.
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) strongly modulate the shallow electric potential in piezoelectric materials. In semiconductor heterostructures such as GaAs/AlGaAs, SAWs can thus be employed to transfer individual electrons between...

Second-Order <i>L</i> ∞ Variational Problems and the ∞-Polylaplacian

In this paper we initiate the study of second-order variational problems in L , seeking to minimise the L norm of a function of the hessian.We also derive and study the respective PDE arising as the...

A Lie symmetry analysis and explicit solutions of the two‐dimensional∞‐Polylaplacian
In this work we use Lie group theoretic methods and the theory of prolonged group actions to study two fully nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). First we consider a third order PDE in two spatial dimensions that...

Reduced relative entropy techniques for a priori analysis of multiphase problems in elastodynamics
We give an a priori analysis of a semi-discrete discontinuous Galerkin scheme approximating solutions to a model of multiphase elastodynamics which involves an energy density depending not only on the strain but also the strain...

Unsigned Magnetic Flux as a Proxy for Radial-velocity Variations in Sun-like Stars
We estimate disc-averaged RV variations of the Sun over the last magnetic cycle, from the single Fe I line observed by SDO/HMI, using a physical model for rotationally modulated magnetic activity that was previously...

Evaluation of image‐based prognostic parameters of post‐prostatectomy urinary incontinence
Abstract: Prostate cancer is the second most common male cancer, and radical prostatectomy is a highly effective treatment for intermediate and high‐risk disease. However, post‐prostatectomy urinary incontinence remains a major...
A review of the impact of shelter design on the health of displaced populations
There are currently millions of displaced people encamped in low-quality shelters that jeopardise the health of these displaced populations. These shelters, which exhibit poor thermal regulation and air quality, are often...
