description: This paper introduces a Projected Principal Component Analysis (Projected-PCA), which employs principal component analysis to the projected (smoothed) data matrix onto a given linear space spanned by covariates. When it applies to high-dimensional factor analysis, the projection removes noise components. We show that the unobserved latent factors can be more accurately estimated than the conventional PCA if the projection is genuine, or more precisely, when the factor loading matrices are related to the projected linear space. When the dimensionality is large, the factors can be estimated accurately even when the sample size is finite. We propose a flexible semiparametric factor model, which decomposes the factor loading matrix into the component that can be explained by subject-specific covariates and the orthogonal residual component. The covariates' effects on the factor loadings are further modeled by the additive model via sieve approximations. By using the newly proposed Projected-PCA, the rates of convergence of the smooth factor loading matrices are obtained, which are much faster than those of the conventional factor analysis. The convergence is achieved even when the sample size is finite and is particularly appealing in the high-dimension-low-sample-size situation. This leads us to developing nonparametric tests on whether observed covariates have explaining powers on the loadings and whether they fully explain the loadings. The proposed method is illustrated by both simulated data and the returns of the components of the S&P 500 index.

description: For the sustainable repair of abdominal wall hernia the application of hernia meshes is required. One reason for the relapse of hernia after surgery is seen in an inadequate adaption of the mechanical properties of the mesh to the movements of the abdominal wall. Differences in the stiffness of the mesh and the abdominal tissue cause tension, friction and stress resulting in a deficient tissue response and subsequently in a recurrence of a hernia, preferentially in the marginal area of the mesh. Embroidery technology enables a targeted influence on the mechanical properties of the generated textile structure by a directed thread deposition. Textile parameters like stitch density, alignment and angle can be changed easily and locally in the embroidery pattern to generate a space-resolved mesh with mechanical properties adapted to the requirement of the surrounding tissue. To determine those requirements the movements of the abdominal wall and the resulting distortions need to be known. This study was conducted to gain optical data of the abdominal wall movements by non-invasive ARAMIS-measurement on 39 test persons to estimate direction and value of the major strains.

description: We consider the possible existence of gravitationally bound general relativistic strings consisting of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) matter which is described, in the Newtonian limit, by the zero temperature time-dependent nonlinear Schrödinger equation (the Gross-Pitaevskii equation), with repulsive interparticle interactions. In the Madelung representation of the wave function, the quantum dynamics of the condensate can be formulated in terms of the classical continuity equation and the hydrodynamic Euler equations. In the case of a condensate with quartic nonlinearity, the condensates can be described as a gas with two pressure terms, the interaction pressure, which is proportional to the square of the matter density, and the quantum pressure, which is without any classical analogue though, when the number of particles in the system is high enough, the latter may be neglected. Assuming cylindrical symmetry, we analyze the physical properties of the BEC strings in both the interaction pressure and quantum pressure dominated limits, by numerically integrating the gravitational field equations. In this way we obtain a large class of stable stringlike astrophysical objects, whose basic parameters (mass density and radius) depend sensitively on the mass and scattering length of the condensate particle, as well as on the quantum pressure of the Bose-Einstein gas.

description: Projective measurements are an essential element of quantum mechanics. In most cases, they cause an irreversible change of the quantum system on which they act. However, measurements can also be used to stabilize quantum states from decay processes, which is known as the quantum Zeno effect (QZE). Here, we demonstrate this effect for the case of a superposition state of a nuclear spin qubit, using an ancilla to perform the measurement. As a result, the quantum state of the qubit is protected against dephasing without relying on an ensemble nature of NMR experiments. We also propose a scheme to protect an arbitrary state by using QZE.

description: Bridging gaps between educational stakeholders at the classroom, school, and system levels is essential to achieve sustainable change in primary and secondary education. However, transferring knowledge or building capacity within this network of loosely coupled stakeholders is demanding. The concept holds promise for studying these complex patterns of interaction, as it refers to how specific actors link loosely coupled or disconnected individuals. However, different research traditions, in terms of theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches, and various stakeholders examined in their role as bridge builders make understanding the role of brokers, brokering, and brokerage in changing educational practice challenging. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the current literature on these concepts in educational change research. In a systematic literature review based on 42 studies, we analyzed each study’s theoretical assumptions, methodological approach, scope in terms of stakeholders involved, and empirical findings. First, the literature review revealed that research on educational change refers to four different theoretical frameworks when focusing on brokers, brokering, or brokerage. Second, our results indicate that predominantly qualitative approaches have been applied. Third, using content network graphs, we identified teachers and principals as among the most frequently analyzed brokers. Fourth, four relevant aspects of the empirical findings are presented: brokers’ personal characteristics, conditions that enable brokering, successful brokering strategies, and outcomes of brokerage. Finally, we outline a future research agenda based on the empirical evidence base and shortcomings.

description: Encoder-decoder based architecture has been widely used in the generator of generative adversarial networks for facial manipulation. However, we observe that the current architecture fails to recover the input image color, rich facial details such as skin color or texture and introduces artifacts as well. In this paper, we present a novel method named SARGAN that addresses the above-mentioned limitations from three perspectives. First, we employed spatial attention-based residual block instead of vanilla residual blocks to properly capture the expression-related features to be changed while keeping the other features unchanged. Second, we exploited a symmetric encoder-decoder network to attend facial features at multiple scales. Third, we proposed to train the complete network with a residual connection which relieves the generator of pressure to generate the input face image thereby producing the desired expression by directly feeding the input image towards the end of the generator. Both qualitative and quantitative experimental results show that our proposed model performs significantly better than state-of-the-art methods. In addition, existing models require much larger datasets for training but their performance degrades on out-of-distribution images. In contrast, SARGAN can be trained on smaller facial expressions datasets, which generalizes well on out-of-distribution images including human photographs, portraits, avatars and statues.

description: Hindman's celebrated Finite Sums Theorem, and its high-dimensional version due to Milliken and Taylor, are extended from covers of countable sets to covers of arbitrary topological spaces with Menger's classic covering property. The methods include, in addition to Hurewicz's game theoretic characterization of Menger's property, extensions of the classic idempotent theory in the Stone--Czech compactification of semigroups, and of the more recent theory of selection principles. This provides strong versions of the mentioned celebrated theorems, where the monochromatic substructures are large, beyond infinitude, in an analytic sense. Reducing the main theorems to the purely combinatorial setting, we obtain nontrivial consequences concerning uncountable cardinal characteristics of the continuum. The main results, modulo technical refinements, are of the following type (definitions provided in the main text): Let $X$ be a Menger space, and $\mathcal{U}$ be an infinite open cover of $X$. Consider the complete graph, whose vertices are the open sets in $X$. For each finite coloring of the vertices and edges of this graph, there are disjoint finite subsets $\mathcal{F}_1,\mathcal{F}_2,\dots$ of the cover $\mathcal{U}$ whose unions $V_1 := \bigcup\mathcal{F}_1, V_2 := \bigcup\mathcal{F}_2,\dots$ have the following properties: 1. The sets $\bigcup_{n\in F}V_n$ and $\bigcup_{n\in H}V_n$ are distinct for all nonempty finite sets $F

description: A generalized Langevin equation is suggested to describe a diffusion particle system with memory. The equation can be transformed into the Fokker–Planck equation by using the Kramers-Moyal expansion. The solution of Fokker–Planck equation can describe not only the diffusion of particles but also that of opinion particles based on the similarities between the two. We find that the memory can restrain some non-equilibrium phenomena of velocity distribution in the system, without memory, induced by correlation between the noise and space (Wang et al., 2021). However, the memory can enhance the effective collision among particles as shown by the variation of diffusion coefficients, and changes the diffusion mode between the dissipative and pumping region by comparing with that in the aforementioned system without memory. As the discussions in this physical system is paralleled to a social system, the random diffusion of social ideology, such as the information propagation, can be suppressed by the correlation between the noise and space.

description: For species that have a fossorial habit or that spend most of their time under leaf litter, correlative models may not be sufficient to model their potential risk in the face of climate change; this is the case for the species examined here. In the present study, we compared three different models (maximum entropy correlative models, mechanistic models based on species thermal tolerance, and habitat cover) applied to three lizards of the genus Scincella (S. gemmingeri, S. lateralis and S. silvicola. Models were proposed for current climate scenario, and for 2050 at three SSPs greenhouse gas concentrations, assessing sites with suitable climate and habitat cover, optimum temperature for species survival, and to selecting the best predictive model. Current and future correlative models indicate areas with little climatic suitability within the thermal range that these lizards can tolerate; however, it was possible to corroborate the presence of populations of S. gemmingeri and S. silvicola in areas that do not have climatic suitability, but do have habitat coverage. These results support the hypothesis that the habitat and microhabitat structures protect these species against possible adverse climatic conditions. It may be that it is also necessary to measure physiological variables (to obtain the thermal range of each species), as well to include both habitat type and habitat structure in spatial analysis.

description: Using transport measurements, we investigate multicomponent quantum Hall (QH) ferromagnetism in dual-gated rhombohedral trilayer graphene (r-TLG), in which the real spin, orbital pseudospin and layer pseudospins of the lowest Landau level form spontaneous ordering. We observe intermediate quantum Hall plateaus, indicating a complete lifting of the degeneracy of the zeroth Landau level (LL) in the hole-doped regime. In charge neutral r-TLG, the orbital degeneracy is broken first, and the layer degeneracy is broken last and only the in presence of an interlayer potential U. In the phase space of U and filling factor, we observe an intriguing hexagon pattern, which is accounted for by a model based on crossings between symmetry-broken LLs.

description: The goal of the fault displacement hazard assessment is to describe and quantify the permanent displacement that can occur during an earthquake at the ground surface. One of the methods to do so is probabilistic (PFDHA: Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Analysis) and is basically based on empirical approaches which allows predicting the possible displacement on the earthquake fault (« on-fault » displacement) and off this major fault on other fault segments (« off-fault » displacement). Predictive relationships (also called “regressions”) were published in the last 15 years (e.g. Youngs et al., 2003; Petersen et al., 2011; Takao et al., 2013) and they are based on data catalogs limited in case numbers and in magnitude ranges. Because there are practical applications of PFDHA in terms of engineering, there is concern in the geologists and engineers communities, for instance in the INQUA and the IAEA-ISSC groups, to improve the methodology.

A first and critical step is to build up a community-sourced, worldwide, unified database of surface rupturing earthquakes to include a large number of earthquake cases in various seismotectonic contexts. This is the core task of the SURE (Surface Rupture Earthquake) Working Group which is growing with the support of INQUA and IAEA-ISSC. During the kick-off meeting held in Paris (October 2015) and sponsored by the Institut de Radioprotection et Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN), earthquake geology experts from the USA, Europe (France, Italy, UK, Germany), Japan, New Zealand, South America (Argentina) formed this group and exchanged their experience in surface rupturing events during 3 days. The US and Japanese colleagues presented the existing datasets and the whole group proposed a structure for the future unified database, also suggesting a list of new parameters to be included (e.g. soil conditions).

The attendance underlined that one of the challenges will be to aggregate “historical” cases (events back to the 50’s or even older in the Japanese dataset) with scarce data and recent events with huge number and accurate measurement of displacements from modern techniques (high-resolution elevation maps with LiDAR, 3D imaging with SfM photogrammetry, deformation maps with InSAR).
Data from: Niche width predicts extinction from climate change and vulnerability of tropical species
Creators: name: Grinder, Rollie
name: Wiens, John
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Climate change may be a major threat to global biodiversity, especially to tropical species. Yet, why tropical species are more vulnerable to climate change remains unclear. Tropical species are thought to have narrower physiological tolerances to temperature, and they have already experienced a higher estimated frequency of climate-related local extinctions. These two patterns suggest that tropical species are more vulnerable to climate change because they have narrower thermal niche widths. However, no studies have tested whether species with narrower climatic niche widths for temperature have experienced more local extinctions, and if these narrower niche widths can explain the higher frequency of tropical local extinctions. Here, we test these ideas using resurvey data from 538 plant and animal species from 10 studies. We found that mean niche widths among species and the extent of climate change (increase in maximum annual temperatures) together explained most variation (>75%) in the frequency of local extinction among studies. Surprisingly, neither latitude nor occurrence in the tropics alone significantly predicted local extinction among studies, but latitude and niche widths were strongly inversely related. Niche width also significantly predicted local extinction among species, as well as among and (sometimes) within studies. Overall, niche width may offer a relatively simple and accessible predictor of the vulnerability of populations to climate change. Intriguingly, niche width has the best predictive power to explain extinction from global warming when it incorporates coldest yearly temperatures.

description: Photo-induced magnetic force between nanostructures, at optical frequencies, is investigated theoretically. Till now optical magnetic effects are not used in scanning probe microscopy because of the vanishing natural magnetism with increasing frequency. On the other hand, artificial magnetism in engineered nanostructures led to the development of measurable optical magnetism. Here, two examples of nanoprobes that are able to generate strong magnetic dipolar fields at optical frequency are investigated: first an ideal magnetically polarizable nanosphere and then a circular cluster of silver nanospheres that has a loop-like collective plasmonic resonance equivalent to a magnetic dipole. Magnetic forces are evaluated based on nanostructure polarizabilities, i.e. induced magnetic dipoles, and magnetic-near field evaluations. As an initial assessment on the possibility of a magnetic nanoprobe to detect magnetic forces, we consider two identical magnetically polarizable nanoprobes and observe magnetic forces in the order of piconewtons thereby bringing it within detection limits of conventional atomic force microscopes at ambient pressure and temperature. The detection of magnetic force is a promising method in studying optical magnetic transitions that can be the basis of innovative spectroscopy applications.

description: Supervised keypoint localization methods rely on large manually labeled image datasets, where objects can deform, articulate, or occlude. However, creating such large keypoint labels is time-consuming and costly, and is often error-prone due to inconsistent labeling. Thus, we desire an approach that can learn keypoint localization with fewer yet consistently annotated images. To this end, we present a novel formulation that learns to localize semantically consistent keypoint definitions, even for occluded regions, for varying object categories. We use a few user-labeled 2D images as input examples, which are extended via self-supervision using a larger unlabeled dataset. Unlike unsupervised methods, the few-shot images act as semantic shape constraints for object localization. Furthermore, we introduce 3D geometry-aware constraints to uplift keypoints, achieving more accurate 2D localization. Our general-purpose formulation paves the way for semantically conditioned generative modeling and attains competitive or state-of-the-art accuracy on several datasets, including human faces, eyes, animals, cars, and never-before-seen mouth interior (teeth) localization tasks, not attempted by the previous few-shot methods.

description: We study Bertrand space-times (BSTs), which have been proposed as viable models of space-times seeded by galactic dark matter, in modified theories of gravity. We first critically examine the issue of galactic rotation curves in General Relativity, and establish the usefulness of BSTs to fit experimental data in this context. We then study BSTs in metric $f(R)$ gravity and in Brans-Dicke theories. For the former, the nature of the Newtonian potential is established, and we also compute the effective equation of state and show that it can provide good fits to some recent experimental results. For the latter, we calculate the Brans-Dicke scalar analytically in some limits and numerically in general, and find interesting constraints on the parameters of the theory. Our results provide evidence for the physical nature of Bertrand space-times in modified theories of gravity.

description: A new charm-strange meson, the $D_{s1}^*(2863)$, has recently been observed by the LHCb collaboration which also determined the $D_{sJ}^*(2860)$ to have spin 3. One of the speculations about the previously observed $D_{s1}^*(2710)$ is that it is the $1^3D_1(c\bar{s})$ state. In this paper we reexamine the quark model properties and assignments of these three states in light of these new measurements. We conclude that the $D_{s1}^*(2863)$ and $D_{s3}^*(2863)$ are the $1^3D_1 (c\bar{s})$ and $1^3D_3 (c\bar{s})$ states respectively and the $D_{s1}^*(2710)$ is the $2^3S_1(c\bar{s})$ state. In addition to these three states there are another three excited $D_s$ states in this mass region still to be found; the $2^1S_0$ and two $1D_2$ states. We calculate the properties of these states and expect that LHCb has the capability of observing these states in the near future.
description: Modified to reflect erratum to the paper. Does not change the paper's conclusions. We found a phase error in the strong decay amplitude which affected the D_2 and D_2' partial widths due to triplet-single mixing of the components.

description: Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment is based on empirical relationships from historic fault ruptures. These relationships establish the likelihood of co-seismic fault displacements values, for on-fault (i.e. along the primary earthquake fault) and off-fault (i.e. distributed surface rupture off the primary rupture) displacements, for a given earthquake magnitude. These relationships are useful when trying to predict future fault displacements at, and close to an active fault, when surface rupture hazard is expected at a site (for land use planning and/or structural design of infrastructure and critical facilities located on, or close to, an active fault line). The current equations are based on sparsely populated datasets, including a limited number of mainly pre-2000 events.  In 2015 an international effort started to constitute a worldwide and unified surface co-seismic displacements database (SURE) to improve further fault displacements estimations. To date, two workshops have been held and discussions on how to build such a database started. Outcomes from these discussions area: (1) the first is step should be to unify the existing datasets; and (2) the future database will include recent cases which deformation have been captured and measured with modern techniques. New parameters which are relevant to properly describe the rupture will also be required. This common effort would imply a large and open community of earthquake geologists to create a free and open access database. This poster is an update of a previous version, and was presented in Barcelona in June 2019, after submission of the so-called SURE database and companion paper in Seismological Research Letters. The database encompasses (in 2019) 45 earthquakes from magnitude 5 to 7.9, with more than 15,000 coseismic surface deformation observations (including slip measurements) and 56,000 of rupture segments. Twenty earthquake cases are from Japan, 15 from the USA, 2 from Mexico, Italy and New Zealand, 1 from Kyrgystan, Ecuador, Turkey and Argentina. Twenty four earthquakes are strike-slip faulting events, eleven are normal or normal-oblique, and ten are reverse faulting.

description: It is well known that the C*-algebra of an ordered pair of qubits is M_2 (x) M_2. What about unordered pairs? We show in detail that M_3 (+) C is the C*-algebra of an unordered pair of qubits. Then we use Schur-Weyl duality to characterize the C*-algebra of an unordered n-tuple of d-level quantum systems. Using some further elementary representation theory and number theory, we characterize the quantum cycles. We finish with a characterization of the von Neumann algebra for unordered words.

description: Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment is based on empirical relationships from historic fault ruptures. These relationships establish the likelihood of co-seismic fault displacements values, for on-fault (i.e. along the primary earthquake fault) and off-fault (i.e. distributed surface rupture off the primary rupture) displacements, for a given earthquake magnitude. These relationships are useful when trying to predict future fault displacements at, and close to an active fault, when surface rupture hazard is expected at a site (for land use planning and/or structural design of infrastructure and critical facilities located on, or close to, an active fault line). The current equations are based on sparsely populated datasets, including a limited number of mainly pre-2000 events. In 2015 an international effort started to constitute a worldwide and unified surface co-seismic displacements database (SURE) to improve further fault displacements estimations. To date, two workshops have been held and discussions on how to build such a database started. Outcomes from these discussions area: (1) the first is step should be to unify the existing datasets; and (2) the future database will include recent cases which deformation have been captured and measured with modern techniques. New parameters which are relevant to properly describe the rupture will also be required. This common effort would imply a large and open community of earthquake geologists to create a free and open access database.

description: Interest in autonomous driving (AD) and intelligent vehicles (IVs) is growing at a rapid pace due to the convenience, safety, and economic benefits. Although a number of surveys have reviewed research achievements in this field, they are still limited in specific tasks, lack of systematic summary and research directions in the future. Here we propose a Survey of Surveys (SoS) for total technologies of AD and IVs that reviews the history, summarizes the milestones, and provides the perspectives, ethics, and future research directions. To our knowledge, this article is the first SoS with milestones in AD and IVs, which constitutes our complete research work together with two other technical surveys. We anticipate that this article will bring novel and diverse insights to researchers and abecedarians, and serve as a bridge between past and future.

description: Η πόλη της Κω μετά το σεισμό που την έπληξε τον Απρίλιο του 1933 υπέστη αλλαγές που άλλαξαν τη μορφή και την έκταση της. Αντικείμενο της παρούσας εργασίας, έπειτα από έρευνα στο ιταλικό αρχείο του νησιού και βιβλιογραφική αναζήτηση, είναι αφενός να μελετηθεί η νέα πόλη που σχεδιάστηκε από τους Ιταλούς και αναδύθηκε μέσα από τα συντρίμμια που επέφερε μια φυσική καταστροφή και αφετέρου να εξετασθεί αν ο χαρακτήρας κι οι ποιότητες της διατηρούνται στην πάροδο του χρόνου.
Η εργασία διαρθρώνεται σε τρεις ενότητες. Στην πρώτη εξ αυτών γίνεται μια σύντομη αναδρομή στην ιστορία της πόλης, από την ίδρυση της μέχρι λίγο πριν την έναρξη της Ιταλοκρατίας στο νησί. Σκοπός του κεφαλαίου είναι να αναλυθεί πως τα ιστορικά γεγονότα που συνέβησαν στο νησί διαμόρφωσαν την πόλη της Κω, όπως την αντίκρισαν οι Ιταλοί κατά την απόβαση τους στα Δωδεκάνησα. Στη δεύτερη ενότητα γίνεται εκτενής περιγραφή των ιταλικών επεμβάσεων στον αστικό ιστό της πόλης, και πριν αλλά κυρίως μετά το σεισμό του 1933. Στην τρίτη ενότητα αναλύονται οι επεμβάσεις του πολεοδομικού ιστού από τη λήξη της Ιταλικής κατοχής μέχρι και σήμερα και εξετάζεται ο βαθμός διατήρησης ή αλλοίωσης των ιταλικών πολεοδομικών χαρακτηριστικών της πόλης της Κω.
description: The city of Kos underwent changes that altered its form and size after the earthquake of April 1933. The aim of this thesis, following a search in the Italian archives of the island and a bibliographical search, is first to examine the new city designed by the Italians, which emerged from the debris of a natural disaster, and foremost to examine whether its character and qualities have been preserved over the years.
This thesis is structured in three chapters. In the first chapter, a brief review of the history of the city is presented, from its foundation until shortly prior to the beginning of the Italian occupation on the island. The aim of this chapter is to analyze how the historical events that occurred on the island have shaped the city of Kos, as seen by the Italians during their arrival in the Dodecanese. The second chapter provides an extensive description of the Italian interventions on the urban fabric of the city, both before and especially after the earthquake of 1933. The third chapter analyses the interventions on the urban fabric between the end of the Italian occupation and the present day and examines the extent to which the Italian urban characteristics of the city of Kos have been preserved or altered.

description: We outline an intuitionistic view of knowledge which maintains the original Brou\-wer-Heyting-Kolmogorov semantics for intuitionism and is consistent with the well-known approach that intuitionistic knowledge be regarded as the result of verification. We argue that on this view co-reflection $A \rightarrow {\bf{K}} A$ is valid and the factivity of knowledge holds in the form ${\bf{K}} A \rightarrow \neg\neg A$ `known propositions cannot be false'. We show that the traditional form of factivity ${\bf{K}} A \rightarrow A$ is a distinctly classical principle which, like {\it tertium non datur} $A\vee\neg A$, does not hold intuitionistically, but, along with the whole of classical epistemic logic, is intuitionistically valid in its double negation form $\neg\neg({\bf{K}} A\rightarrow A)$. Within the intuitionistic epistemic framework the knowability paradox is resolved in a constructive manner. We argue that this paradox is the result of an unwarranted classical reading of constructive principles and as such does not have the consequences for constructive foundations traditionally attributed it.

The 25 September 2018 Palu Earthquake, Indonesia: a compilation of online data
Creators: name: Baize, Stéphane
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The Palu earthquake hit the north-western part of the Sulawesi island of Indonesia on 25 September 2018. It caused extensive surface effects, including surface faulting which has been observed thanks to various techniques, from field work to geodesy. This dataset is of primary significance for the earthquake geology community.

In the framework of a INQUA project (SURFACE), a worldwide and unified database of surface faulting cases (SURE) is being implemented to improve the Surface Displacement Hazard Analyses. This compilation of published data aims at providing useful information for that specific case in the perspective of a future implementation of this case in SURE.

description: A methodology for handling block-to-block coupling of nonconforming, multiblock summation-by-parts finite difference methods is proposed. The coupling is based on the construction of projection operators that move a finite difference grid solution along an interface to a space of piecewise defined functions; we specifically consider discontinuous, piecewise polynomial functions. The constructed projection operators are compatible with the underlying summation-by-parts energy norm. Using the linear wave equation in two dimensions as a model problem, energy stability of the coupled numerical method is proven for the case of curved, nonconforming block-to-block interfaces. To further demonstrate the power of the coupling procedure, we show how it allows for the development of a provably energy stable coupling between curvilinear finite difference methods and a curved-triangle discontinuous Galerkin method. The theoretical results are verified through numerical simulations on curved meshes as well as eigenvalue analysis.
