Computational contact mechanics seeks for numerical solutions to contact area, pressure, deformation, and stresses, as well as flash temperature, in response to the interaction of two bodies. The ...

Recently, I was asked by a parent how old children should be to learn how to multiply numbers. He was shocked when I said that children in kindergarten may be experts in multiplication. It’s not ...

Human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies examining the putative firing of grid cells (i.e., the grid code) suggest that this cellular mechanism supports not only spatial navigation, ...

In this paper, we originate results with finite difference schemes to approximate the solution of the classical Fisher Kolmogorov Petrovsky Piscounov (KPP) equation from population dynamics. Fisher’s ...

Turbulence in fluid flows is universal, from galactic scales generated by supernova explosions down to an aggressively stirred cup of coffee. There is no debate that turbulence is important, yet no ...

Carrier multiplication is the process in which the absorption of a single, high-energy photon results in the generation of two or more electron–hole pairs. The excess energy of the initially excited ...
