Streamwise-travelling waves of spanwise wall velocity for turbulent drag reduction

name: VIOTTI, CLAUDIO
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Waves of spanwise velocity imposed at the walls of a plane turbulent channel flow are studied by Direct Numerical Simulations. We consider sinusoidal waves of spanwise velocity which vary in time and are modulated in space along the streamwise direction. The phase speed may be null, positive or negative, so that the waves may be either stationary or traveling forward or backward in the direction of the mean flow. Such a forcing includes as particular cases two known techniques for reducing friction drag: the oscillating wall technique (a traveling wave with infinite phase speed) and the recently proposed steady distribution of spanwise velocity (a wave with zero phase speed). The traveling waves alter the friction drag significantly. Waves which slowly travel forward produce a large reduction of drag, that can relaminarize the flow at low values of the Reynolds number. Faster waves yield a totally different outcome, i.e. drag increase. Even faster waves produce a drag reduction effect again. Backward-traveling waves instead lead to drag reduction at any speed. The traveling waves, when they reduce drag, operate in similar fashion to the oscillating wall, with an improved energetic efficiency. Drag increase is observed when the waves travel at a speed comparable with that of the convecting near-wall turbulence structures. A diagram illustrating the different flow behaviors is presented.

description: Two-particle correlations are presented for K$^0_\mathrm{S}$, $Λ$, and $\overlineΛ$ strange hadrons as a function of relative momentum in lead-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.607 nb$^{-1}$ and was collected using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. These correlations are sensitive to quantum statistics and to final-state interactions between the particles. The source size extracted from the K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ correlations is found to decrease from 4.6 to 1.6 fm in going from central to peripheral collisions. Strong interaction scattering parameters (i.e., scattering length and effective range) are determined from the $Λ$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ and $ΛΛ$ (including their charge conjugates) correlations using the Lednick$ý$-Lyuboshitz model and are compared to theoretical and other experimental results.

Interdisciplinary classroom and remote learning using a newly developed Knowledge Network Online Whiteboard (KNOW)
Creators: name: Sieroka, Norman
name: Mayer, Hannes
Publisher: name: ETH Learning and Teaching Journal
Year: 2020

description: The idea for a new interactive teaching and learning tool derived from an interdisciplinary project and seminar at ETH called “Philosophical Reflections on Digital Methods in Architecture”. In order to facilitate the integration of the typically text-based work in philosophy with the more image-based work in architecture, we developed a custom-made software. The resulting Knowledge Network Online Whiteboard KNOW is an online tool for interactive student learning in large groups and with different media, from text, to pictures and videos. KNOW helps to make student work directly visible for everyone in real time, facilitating collaborative student learning, and creating a platform for supporting debate whilst at the same time acting as an archive. This paper first describes the didactic background of KNOW. This is followed by a brief analysis of the overall textual and pictorial structure of students’ contributions and by several small case studies on teaching formats in which KNOW was used. The paper ends with a critical discussion of KNOW and outlines goals.

description: Recently, the perovskite BiCoO$_3$ has been shown experimentally to be isostructural with PbTiO$_3$, while simultaneously the $d^6$ Co$^{3+}$ ion has a high spin ground state with $C$-type antiferromagnetic ordering. Using hybrid density functional calculations, we investigate the atomic, electronic and magnetic structure of BiCoO$_3$ to elucidate the origin of the multiferroic state. To begin with, we perform a qualitative trend sudy of the role of $d$ electrons in affecting the tendency for perovskite materials to exhibit a ferroelectric distortion; this work initially explores a qualitative trend study in artificial cubic and tetragonal LaBO$_3$ perovskites. We choose La as the A-cation so as to remove the effects of Bi $6s$ hybridization. Through first-principles calculations of the LaBO$_3$ series, where B is a $d^0 - d^8$ cation from the $3d$-block, the trend study reveals that increasing the $d$ orbital occupation initially removes the tendency for a polar distortion, as expected. However, for high spin $d^5-d^7$ and $d^8$ cations a strong ferroelectric instability is recovered. We explained this effect in terms of the pseudo Jahn-Teller theory for ferroelectricity. It is shown that, in some cases, unpaired electron spins actually drive ferroelectricity, rather than inhibit it, which represents a shift in the understanding of how ferroelectricity and magnetism interact in perovskite oxides. It follows, that for the case of BiCoO$_3$, the Co$^{3+}$ ion plays a major role in the ferroelectric lattice instability. Importantly, the ferroelectric polarization is greatly enhanced when the Co$^{3+}$ ion is in the high spin state, when compared to the nonmagnetic, low spin state, and a large coupling of the electrical and magnetic polarization is present. Importantly, it is demonstrated that the ground spin state is switched by reducing the internal ferroelectric polarization.

An inertia ‘paradox’ for incompressible stratified Euler fluids

description: The interplay between incompressibility and stratification can lead to non-conservation of horizontal momentum in the dynamics of a stably stratified incompressible Euler fluid filling an infinite horizontal channel between rigid upper and lower plates. Lack of conservation occurs even though in this configuration only vertical external forces act on the system. This apparent paradox was seemingly first noticed by Benjamin (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 165, 1986, pp. 445-474) in his classification of the invariants by symmetry groups with the Hamiltonian structure of the Euler equations in two dimensional settings, but it appears to have been largely ignored since. By working directly with the motion equations, the paradox is shown here to be a consequence of the rigid lid constraint coupling through incompressibility with the infinite inertia of the far ends of the channel, assumed to be at rest in hydrostatic equilibrium. Accordingly, when inertia is removed by eliminating the stratification, or, remarkably, by using the Boussinesq approximation of uniform density for the inertia terms, horizontal momentum conservation is recovered. This interplay between constraints, action at a distance by incompressibility, and inertia is illustrated by layer-averaged exact results, two-layer long-wave models, and direct numerical simulations of the incompressible Euler equations with smooth stratification.

Measuring modelling

Publisher: name: ETH Learning and Teaching Journal
Year: 2020

description: Modelling is an essential skill in many scientific fields, including environmental science. We designed a Modelling Competence Inventory (MCI) to measure the progress of students in acquiring competence in modelling during the bachelor curriculum. As models in environmental science borrow from many disciplines, and modelling is by nature an abstract activity that requires critical thinking, we find that designing an MCI is difficult compared to competence inventories for more physical subjects. We discuss the design process, two iterations of our MCI, and the results of testing these on a group of students before and after a modelling course. Results suggest that students understanding of the learning goals taught in the course improved somewhat, but their score on other learning goals decreased. Overall, we find that bachelor students need more supervised independent practice with modelling and building of confidence in their modelling abilities. The MCI needs further development and differentiated questions specific to the course in which the MCI is administered. The process of searching for competencies to track and developing the MCI, in cooperation with lecturers in the environmental science bachelor, by itself helped build a community of practice and led to steps to better align courses in our curriculum.

Replacing lectures with exercises to promote learning in Life Sciences

Publisher: name: ETH Learning and Teaching Journal
Year: 2020

description: The aim of this teaching project was to reduce frontal lectures and to increase the activity of students in a course with a maximum of 10 students. The overall aim was to advance students' learning. The students' activity consisted of individual reading of selected sections of a peer-reviewed article per group, discussion within group and oral presentation by all group members to the other group. It was implemented in two consecutive autumn semesters and was compared with the autumn semester before the implementation of the activity. After its first implementation, the activity was prolonged and its conceptual structure was improved by using a handout with questions to be answered during individual reading and discussion within group. Students' perception and satisfaction of this approach to teaching and the course in general were examined using a questionnaire. The overall satisfaction with the course was not increased with the first implementation of the activity, but with the improved conceptual structure of the activity in the second year. In conclusion, the greater replacement of frontal lectures with a well-structured activity resulted in advanced students' perception and satisfaction of the approach to teaching and the course in general. This study was a successful teaching experiment that demonstrated the benefits of introducing activity learning for Animal Science Master students and for the teacher.

Geometric and transformational properties of Lipschitz domains, Semmes-Kenig-Toro domains, and other classes of finite perimeter domains
Creators: name: Taylor, Michael

name: Hofmann, Steve
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: In the  first part of this paper we give intrinsic characterizations of the classes of Lipschitz and C1 domains. Under some mild, necessary, background hypotheses (of topological and geometric measure theoretic nature), we show that a domain is Lipschitz if and only if it has a continuous transversal vector  field. We also show that if the geometric measure theoretic unit normal of the domain is continuous, then the domain in question is of class C1. In the second part of the paper, we study the invariance of various classes of domains of locally  finite perimeter under bi-Lipschitz and C1 diffeomorphisms of the Euclidean space. In particular, we prove that the class of bounded regular SKT domains (previously called chord-arc domains with vanishing constant, in the literature) is stable under C1 diffeomorphisms. A number of other applications are also presented.
Know, Grow, and Protect Net Worth: Using ML for Asset Protection by Preventing Overdraft Fees

description: When a customer overdraws their bank account and their balance is negative they are assessed an overdraft fee. Americans pay approximately \$15 billion in unnecessary overdraft fees a year, often in \$35 increments; users of the Mint personal finance app pay approximately \$250 million in fees a year in particular. These overdraft fees are an excessive financial burden and lead to cascading overdraft fees trapping customers in financial hardship. To address this problem, we have created an ML-driven overdraft early warning system (ODEWS) that assesses a customer's risk of overdrafting within the next week using their banking and transaction data in the Mint app. At-risk customers are sent an alert so they can take steps to avoid the fee, ultimately changing their behavior and financial habits. The system deployed resulted in a \$3 million savings in overdraft fees for Mint customers compared to a control group. Moreover, the methodology outlined here is part of a greater effort to provide ML-driven personalized financial advice to help our members know, grow, and protect their net worth, ultimately, achieving their financial goals.

Impact of activating learning series on participation and student learning of Food Science Master students
Creators: name: Schwab, Clarissa
Publisher: name: ETH Learning and Teaching Journal
Year: 2020

description: Active learning is a student-centered teaching approach, which involves students through group discussions, problem solving, case studies, and summarizing concepts. My previous lectures were characterized by low level of student participation and a lack of feedback. It was the aim of this study to implement activating learning series in an already existing lecture to increase participation and learner autonomy of Food Science Master students. Student group and single activities alternating with 2-20 min long lectures by the tutor replaced the standard 45 min frontal lectures. At the end of the third lecture, a questionnaire was distributed to students to evaluate lecturer, exercises, motivation and learning autonomy. The lecturer filled a self-evaluation sheet after each lecture. The average score regarding the lecturer was 3.7 ±1.1 (median value: 4). The introduction of exercises was highly appreciated (4.2 ±0.9 (median value: 4). In regard to learner autonomy, the majority of students felt motivated, in control and confident after the lectures. Adjustments will be necessary to fit lecture content to the new lecture set-up (for e.g. overall number of slides) and to enhance the proportion of students showing learner autonomy, but in general, this study was a successful teaching experiment showing the benefits of introducing activating learning series for Food Science Master students, but also for the lecturer.

Hardy Spaces and bmo on Manifolds with Bounded Geometry

Year: 2009

description: We develop the theory of the "local" Hardy space h1(M) and John-Nirenberg space bmo(M) when M is a Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, building on the classic work of Fefferman-Stein and subsequent material, particularly of Goldberg and Ionescu. Results include h1 - bmo duality, Lp estimates on an appropriate variant of the sharp maximal function, h1 and bmo-Sobolev spaces, and action of a natural class of pseudodifferential operators, including a natural class of functions of the Laplace operator, in a setting that uni es these results with results on Lp-Sobolev spaces. We apply results on these topics to some interpolation theorems, motivated in part by the search for dispersive estimates for wave equations.
Practical Denoising of MEG Data using Wavelet Transform

description: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is an important noninvasive, nonhazardous technology for functional brain mapping, measuring the magnetic fields due to the intracellular neuronal current flow in the brain. However, the inherent level of noise in the data collection process is large enough to obscure the signal(s) of interest most often. In this paper, a practical denoising technique based on the wavelet transform and the multiresolution signal decomposition technique is presented. The proposed technique is substantiated by the application results using three different mother wavelets on the recorded MEG signal.

description: Applying time-dependent photoemission we unravel the graphene growth process on a metallic surface by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Graphene CVD growth is in stark contrast to the standard growth process of two-dimensional films because it is self-limiting and stops as soon as a monolayer of graphene has been synthesized. Most importantly, a novel phase of metastable graphene was discovered that is characterized by permanent and simultaneous construction and deconstruction. The high quality and large area graphene flakes are characterized by angle-resolved photoemission, proving that they are indeed monolayer and cover the whole 1×1 cm Ni(111) substrate. These findings are of high relevance to the intensive search for reliable synthesis methods for large graphene flakes of controlled layer number.

description: One fundamental difficulty in realizing Majorana zero modes (MZMs) is the required high magnetic field, which causes serious issues, e.g., shrinks the superconducting gap, reduces topological region, and weakens their robustness against disorder. In this work, we propose that the Meissner effect can bring the topological superconducting phase to a superconductor/topological-insulator/superconductor (SC/TI/SC) hybrid system. Remarkably, the required magnetic field strength ($<$10 mT) to support MZMs has been reduced by several orders of magnitude compared to that ($>$0.5 T) in the previous schemes. Tuning the phase difference between the top and bottom superconductors can control the number and position of the MZMs. In addition, we account for the electrostatic potential in the superconductor/topological-insulator (SC/TI) interface through the self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson calculation, which shows the experimental accessibility of our proposal. Our proposal only needs a small magnetic eld of less than 10 mT and is robust against the chemical potential fluctuation, which makes SC/TI/SC hybrid an ideal Majorana platform.

Regularity for a Class of Elliptic Operators with Dini Continuous Coefficients
Creators: name: Taylor, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: We obtain regularity results for solutions to Pu = f when P is a kth order elliptic differential operator with the property that both P and Pt have coefficients that are continuous, with a modulus of continuity satisfying a Dini-type condition. Operators of this form arise in the study of regularity of functions that are known to be regular along the leaves of several foliations, such as arise in Anosov systems. The results here complement some previous results of the author and J. Rauch.

Year: 2013

description: This article discusses the findings of a study which aimed to gain an insight into the views of young people in secure accommodation and their residential workers about the quality of relationships and, in particular, to explore the role of the key worker. Five themes were identified in the research: participation in the matching process between young people and residential workers; the level of consistency in the relationship between key worker and young person; the scope of the key worker role in secure care; the frequency and purpose of key time; and the barriers to achieving key time. The findings are located in the broader literature about the importance of relationships in social work and residential child care.
Iterative minimization algorithm on a mixture family

description: Iterative minimization algorithms appear in various areas including machine learning, neural networks, and information theory.The em algorithm is one of the famous iterative minimization algorithms in the area of machine learning, and the Arimoto-Blahut algorithm is a typical iterative algorithm in the area of information theory.However, these two topics had been separately studied for a long time. In this paper, we generalize an algorithm that was recently proposed in the context of the Arimoto-Blahut algorithm.Then, we show various convergence theorems, one of which covers the case when each iterative step is done approximately.Also, we apply this algorithm to the target problem of the em algorithm, and propose its improvement. In addition, we apply it to other various problems in information theory.
Expert knowledge and the unexpected: facilitating architecture students’ design decision-making with expert interviews
Creators: name: Ting, Caroline
Publisher: name: ETH Learning and Teaching Journal
Year: 2020

description: This paper investigates architecture students’ expectations of outcome and design relevance of findings from preparing and applying semi-structured expert interviews in order to facilitate individual design decision-making processes. To do so a closer investigation of a specifically devised and implemented teaching project with learning objectives and classroom assessment techniques (CATs) will be discussed. The evaluation of the teaching project shows that the CATs prove to be appropriate options to assess student learning in terms of the significant issue. Feasibility of expectation is expected to be relevant in order to learn and apply a new method in an appropriate and useful way. In this teaching project assessment shows that due to unfamiliarity with the proposed method students’ expectations of outcome are quite wide-ranging but mostly feasible. Overall, students’ expectations of interview findings could be grouped in two categories; ‹expert knowledge and facts› and ‹the unexpected and inspiration›. Most students stated that they found the interviews’ outcome to be somewhat to very helpful regarding their individual design processes while initial expectations were also diverse.

description: Gonchar-Stahl's $ρ^2$-theorem characterizes the rate of convergence of best uniform (Chebyshev) rational approximations (with free poles) for one basic class of analytic functions. The theorem itself, its modifications and generalizations, methods involved in the proof and other related details constitute an important subfield in the theory of rational approximations of analytic functions and complex analysis. The paper briefly outlines essentials of the subfield. Fundamental contributions by A. A. Gonchar and H. Stahl are in the center of the exposition.

A remarkable class of elliptic surfaces of amplitude 1 in weighted projective space

description: Surfaces of amplitude 1 in ordinary projective space are of general type, but this need not be the case in weighted projective spaces. Indeed, there are 4 classes of quasi-smooth weighted hypersurfaces in $\mathbf{P}(1,2,a,b)$ of amplitude 1 with an elliptic pencil cut out by hyperplanes. Their moduli spaces are constructed, the monodromy of their universal families is determined as well as their period maps. These all turn out to be non-injective. We analyse the reason behind this, which for each type is different. For the two classes that give properly elliptic surfaces this leads to a mixed Torelli-type theorem as in the case of the Catanese-Kunev-Todorov surfaces. We added an application to certain compactifications of moduli spaces of surfaces of general type with $K^2=1$, $p_g=2$ and $q=0$, as well as detailed SageMath-calculations. The appendix written by Wim Nijgh shows that the general member of the type 1 and type 2 elliptic family has "trivial" Picard lattice, i.e. is spanned by fiber components and a multisection.
description: This is the final version. The main changes are the addition of Appendix C (by Wim Nijgh) and the observation that the Tate conjecture and the the Mumford-Tate conjecture for the surfaces in our families are true as a direct consequence of Ben Moonen's work
A generalization of Poisson–Nijenhuis structures
Creators: name: Wade, Aissa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2001

description: We generalize Poisson-Nijenhuis structures. We prove that on a manifold endowed with a Nijenhuis tensor and a Jacobi structure which are compatible, there is a hierarchy of pairwise compatible Jacobi structures. Furthermore, we study the homogeneous Poisson-Nijenhuis structures and their relations with Jacobi structures.
What works in course development? A practice guide

description: Course development is an important part of education at ETH Zürich. Yet, ETH Zürich has not consolidated the relevant information in one concise way or defined a process to guide the hands-on course development processes. Therefore, I developed the Course Development Cycle (CDC) and wrote a guide for my research group. The main aim of this initiative was to streamline the journey from concept to course by providing colleagues a structured guide with all the information they should consider when they develop a course at ETH. During the development of an undergraduate course with the help of the CDC the guide proved to be useful. Now, the guide needs to be refined further and turned into a generic version that will work across ETH.

description: Efficient techniques to navigate networks with local information are fundamental to sample large-scale online social systems and to retrieve resources in peer-to-peer systems. Biased random walks, i.e. walks whose motion is biased on properties of neighbouring nodes, have been largely exploited to design smart local strategies to explore a network, for instance by constructing maximally mixing trajectories or by allowing an almost uniform sampling of the nodes. Here we introduce and study biased random walks on multiplex networks, graphs where the nodes are related through different types of links organised in distinct and interacting layers, and we provide analytical solutions for their long-time properties, including the stationary occupation probability distribution and the entropy rate. We focus on degree-biased random walks and distinguish between two classes of walks, namely those whose transition probability depends on a number of parameters which is extensive in the number of layers, and those whose motion depends on intrinsically multiplex properties of the neighbouring nodes. We analyse the effect of the structure of the multiplex network on the steady-state behaviour of the walkers, and we find that heterogeneous degree distributions as well as the presence of inter-layer degree correlations and edge overlap determine the extent to which a multiplex can be efficiently explored by a biased walk. Finally we show that, in real-world multiplex transportation networks, the trade-off between efficient navigation and resilience to link failure has resulted into systems whose diffusion properties are qualitatively different from those of appropriately randomised multiplex graphs. This fact suggests that multiplexity is an important ingredient to include in the modelling of real-world systems.

description: We consider the tensor product V = (CN)⊕n of the vector representation of glN and its weight decomposition V = ⊕λ=(λ1,...,λN)V [λ]. For λ = (λ1 > · · · > λN), the trivial bundle V [λ]×Cn → Cn has a subbundle of q-conformal blocks at level ℓ, where ℓ = λ1−λN if λ1−λN > 0 and ℓ = 1 if λ1−λN = 0. We construct a polynomial section Iλ(z1, . . . , zn, h) of the subbundle. The section is the main object of the paper. We identify the section with the generating function Jλ(z1, . . . , zn, h) of the extended Joseph polynomials of orbital varieties, defined in [DFZJ05, KZJ09]. For ℓ = 1, we show that the subbundle of q-conformal blocks has rank 1 and Iλ(z1, . . . , zn, h) is flat with respect to the quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov discrete connection. For N = 2 and ℓ = 1, we represent our polynomial as a multidimensional q-hypergeometric integral and obtain a q-Selberg type identity, which says that the integral is an explicit polynomial.

description: To familiarize students with today’s challenges in the field of ecosystem management, the environmental sciences master program offers a course for students called Foundations of Ecosystem Management. The aim of this course is to create an effective learning experience and develop critical thinking capacities for future natural resource managers and academics. The course is structured into various parts where students first elaborate on the definition of the theoretical foundations and concepts. In a next step, they use this definition to work on real-world case studies. During their groupwork, they construct a role-playing game that addresses the most prominent issues in the system and thereby learn to understand and deal with the complexity of the management issues. At the same time, students are trained in soft skills like teamwork, self-reflection, debriefing, and facilitation. In this paper, we present the structure of the course and results from an online survey done by students from the last 5 years. We assessed how well former students remember the course and the theory they learnt and how they perceived the teaching approach. We found positive results: students appreciate the different teaching approach and most of the students, including students from earlier cohorts, state that they still remember the concepts. Students report that they have applied the concepts and approaches from the course in other contexts outside the classroom. We, as teaching staff, reflect on the course, the learning experience, and the results from the online survey, and present four teaching principles that underline what has worked in the course: i) self-authorship, ii) education through active and experiential learning, iii) competence-oriented learning on soft skills: self-reflection, teamwork, and facilitation, and finally iv) inter-cultural learning.
