Crashworthiness optimization of thin-walled s-shaped structures
Creators: name: Beik, Varshan
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In a car crash, the higher level of energy absorption in the frontal structures leads to less transferred energy to the passengers and hence a safer car. S-shaped front rails, also known as S-rails, are one of the main structural elements and energy absorbers in a car body. Energy absorption in the S-rails happens through local buckling. In order to improve the passenger safety in a frontal crash, S-rails design should be optimised to absorb higher level of energy while crushing. In this study, using Finite Element Methods, the crashworthiness impact of tapering S-shaped rails is studied through investigating the energy absorption and Specific Energy Absorption of 42 tapered square cross section steel S-rail models subjecting to quasi-static and dynamic loading. The results are verified using analytical analysis. To develop the models, two S-rails, one without (type A) and one with (type B) internal diagonal reinforcement are tapered with 20 different tapering ratios ranging from 110% to 300% with 10% increments. All models are subjected to quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions. The effectiveness of tapering S-rails is assessed through investigating the Specific Energy Absorption (SEA) variations. In quasi-static loading conditions, tapering type A models showed 144% increase in energy absorption and 22% improvement in specific energy absorption. In type B models under quasi-static loading, the energy absorption increased by 118% and a maximum of 6% improvement in specific energy absorption was achieved as a result of tapering the S-rails. Reinforcing type A0 model to B0 model also increased the energy absorption by 412% and specific energy absorption by 279%. In quasi-static loading, the maximum specific energy absorption was observed in model B14 with 275% improvement in SEA comparing to model A0. In dynamic loading condition, an increase of 167% was observed in type A models as well as 33% increase in specific energy absorption. Type B models subjected to dynamic loading showed 101% increase in energy absorption and a maximum of 25% improvement in specific energy absorption as a result of tapering S-rail. Reinforcing type A0 model to B0 model also increased the energy absorption by 307% and specific energy absorption by 201%. In this loading condition, the maximum SEA achieved by reinforcing and tapering model A0 to model B11 which increased the specific energy absorption by 301%.

description: A study was conducted to compare the performance of three different ISRU production plants that extract metals and oxygen from regolith at the lunar South Pole. The processes selected were: (1) hydrogen reduction of ilmenite and carbonylation to produce low-carbon steels, (2) molten regolith electrolysis to produce ferrosilicon alloys, and (3) molten salt electrolysis, in particular the FFC-Cambridge process, together with vacuum distillation, to produce aluminum–silicon alloys. Holistic system sizing models, including excavation, beneficiation, handling, oxygen extraction and purification, metal processing, gas liquefaction and storage, thermal control, and power, were developed to determine the overall ISRU mass and power budgets. The most effective ISRU production plant preliminarily requires 6776 kg of hardware mass to produce 25 t/a of ferrosilicon alloys from Highlands regolith through molten regolith electrolysis. This facility coproduces 23.9 t/a of oxygen, presenting a total mass payback ratio of 0.14 kg of hardware/(kg of product/a). Sensitivity analyses are presented for the initial ilmenite and anorthite concentrations in regolith. The salt ratio (kg of molten salt per kg of regolith) of the FFC-Cambridge process and the degradation rate of the molten regolith electrolysis reactor are identified as key parameters that determine the feasibility of these ISRU processes. The mass and power of the production plants exhibit a slight economy of scale, indicating that larger amounts of metals and oxygen can be produced more efficiently.

description: We examine the electronic structure of recently fabricated in-plane heterojunctions of zigzag graphene nanoribbons embedded in hexagonal boron nitride. We focus on hitherto unexplored interface configurations in which both edges of the nanoribbon are bonded to the same chemical species, either boron or nitrogen atoms. Using ab initio and mean-field Hubbard model calculations, we reveal the emergence of one-dimensional magnetic conducting channels at these interfaces. These channels originate from the energy shift of the magnetic interface states that is induced by charge transfer between the nanoribbon and hexagonal boron nitride. We further address the response of these heterojunctions to external electric and magnetic fields, demonstrating the tunability of energy and spin splittings in the electronic structure. Our findings establish that zigzag graphene nanoribbon/hexagonal boron nitride heterojunctions are a suitable platform for exploring and engineering spin transport in the atomically thin limit, with potential applications in integrated spintronic devices

description: Quantum entanglement and decoherence are the two counterforces of many quantum technologies and protocols. For example, while quantum teleportation is fueled by a pair of maximally entangled resource qubits, it is vulnerable to decoherence. In this Article, we propose an efficient quantum teleportation protocol in the presence of pure decoherence and without entangled resource qubits entering the Bell-state measurement. Instead, we employ multipartite hybrid entanglement between the auxiliary qubits and their local environments within the open-quantum-system context. Interestingly, with a hybrid-entangled initial state, it is the decoherence that allows us to achieve high fidelities. We demonstrate our protocol in an all-optical experiment.

description: We perform an exploratory study of a new approach for evaluating Feynman integrals numerically. We apply the recently-proposed framework of physics-informed deep learning to train neural networks to approximate the solution to the differential equations satisfied by the Feynman integrals. This approach relies neither on a canonical form of the differential equations, which is often a bottleneck for the analytical techniques, nor on the availability of a large dataset, and after training yields essentially instantaneous evaluation times. We provide a proof-of-concept implementation within the PyTorch framework, and apply it to a number of one- and two-loop examples, achieving a mean magnitude of relative difference of around 1% at two loops in the physical phase space with network training times on the order of an hour on a laptop GPU.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit untersucht den Zusammenhang von Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen und Erfolg bei der Ergänzungsprüfung der sportwissenschaftlichen Studien. Die sportpsychologische Forschung beschäftigt sich eingehend mit der Erforschung des Zusammenhangs von sportlicher Leistung und Persönlichkeit (Alfermann & Stoll, 2006). Da einige Studien von einem Zusammenhang der Persönlichkeitsdimensionen Neurotizismus und Extraversion mit der sportlichen Leistungsfähigkeit belegen (Morgan, 1985), andere diesen Zusammenhang nicht belegen können (Conzelmann, 2001), wurde mit der vorliegenden Arbeit versucht zu einer Erweiterung des Wissenstandes auf diesem Gebiet beizutragen. Aufgrund von Ergebnissen bezüglich des Einflusses von Wettkampfangst (Brand et al, 2005, Kleine & Schwarzer, 1991), der individuellen Stressversarbeitung (Prapavessis, 2000, Ben-Ari et al, 2006) und der Verausgabungsbereitschaft (Würth, in Vorbereitung) auf die sportlichen Leistung wurden auch diese Persönlichkeitsdimensionen in Zusammenhang mit dem Ergebnis der Ergänzungsprüfung gebracht. In der vorliegenden Onlinestudie konnte kein Einfluss von Neurotizismus und Extraversion auf das Ergebnis der Ergänzungsprüfung nachgewiesen werden. Es wurde ein Einfluss von Wettkampfangst auf das Ergebnis der Ergänzungsprüfung nachgewiesen. Dieses Modell klärt 5,7 Prozent der Varianz auf. Diese Ergebnisse ordnen sich in den aktuellen Forschungsstand ein.
description: The present study is surveying the relationship between dimensions of personality and success at the aptitude test for the studies of sport science at the university of Vienna. Sportspsychological research is dealing with the relationship between personality and performance (Alfermann & Stoll, 2006). There is strong evidence for the theory that neuroticism and extraversion have an influence on performance (Morgan, 1985). Some researches do not agree with that postulation (Conzelmann, 2001). The present study tries to provide a solution for this problem. There is also evidence that competitive anxiety (Brand et al, 2005, Kleine & Schwarzer, 1991), coping with stress (Prapavessis, 2000, Ben-Ari et al, 2006) and the disposition for exhaustion (Würth, in preparation) affect performance. The influence from Big-Five-Personality- Dimensions, competitive anxiety, stress reactivity and the disposition for exhaustion on the outcome of the aptitude test for sport science studies is being empirically tested. Results show, that competitive anxiety has an influence on the result of the aptitude test for sport science studies.

description: The initial mass function (IMF) of the first Pop III stars remains a persistent mystery. Their predicted massive nature implies the existence of stars exploding as pair-instability supernovae (PISN), but no observational evidence had been found. Now, the LAMOST survey claims to have discovered a pure PISN descendant, J1010+2358, at ${\rm [Fe/H]}= -2.4$. Here we confirm that a massive 250-260 ${\rm M_\odot}$ PISN is needed to reproduce the abundance pattern of J1010+2358. However, the PISN contribution can be as low as 10%, since key elements are missing to discriminate between scenarios. We investigate the implications of this discovery for the Pop III IMF, by statistical comparison with the predictions of our cosmological galaxy formation model, NEFERTITI. First, we show that the non-detection of mono-enriched PISN descendants at ${\rm [Fe/H]}<-2.5$ allows us to exclude: (i) a flat IMF at a 90% confidence level; and (ii) a Larson type IMF with characteristic mass $m_{\rm ch}/{\rm M_\odot} > 191.16x - 132.44$, where x is the slope, at a 75% confidence level. Secondly, we show that if J1010+2358 has only inherited <70% of its metals from a massive PISN, no further constraints can be put on the Pop III IMF. If, instead, J1010+2358 will be confirmed to be a nearly pure (>90%) PISN descendant, it will offer strong and complementary constraints on the Pop III IMF, excluding the steepest and bottom-heaviest IMFs: $m_{\rm ch}/{\rm M_\odot} < 143.21x - 225.94$. Our work shows that even a single detection of a pure PISN descendant can be crucial to our understanding of the mass distribution of the first stars.

The constitution of youth: toward a genealogy of the discourse and government of youth
Creators: name: Anderson, Anna
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis concerns how we understand youth and how, as a result of this, we try to govern young people. More specifically it addresses the linkage of that governing with young people’s capacities for participation and autonomy. It examines this through a critical analysis of youth participation policies and programs recently introduced to reform the way young people are governed and the critical discourse of youth that defines an historical and continuing problem of youth marginalisation and repression to which these policies and programs are implemented as a solution. To produce this analysis it uses an approach which is derived from Michel Foucault’s discussion of governmentality and deploys his genealogical method. In line with that approach it introduces uncomfortable continuities between the 19th century concerns and practices for the government of boys in boarding schools and in prisons and the contemporary discourses and practices of youth participation such as those of the Youth Roundtable in Victoria. In doing so, it unsettles the critical discourse of youth that proposes that youth have a natural autonomy that has been marginalised and repressed by dominant ideologies and institutional treatment and that youth therefore need to be empowered or facilitated to use their autonomy and capacities for self-government and participate in decision-making. The thesis argues that youth participation is itself a form of government that exhibits the characteristics of a liberal governmentality and the critical discourse of youth is a regime of truth that makes it possible and plays a role in its operation.

description: The main focus will be on the indirect Joint Source-Channel Coding problem in which a noisy observation of the source has to be quantized ahead of transmission over an error-prone forward link to a remote processing unit. To that end, we present here a complete extension to the preliminary Information Bottleneck method by providing the formal optimal solution to this newly established Variational Principle, together with an algorithm, the Forward-Aware Vector Information Bottleneck (FAVIB), to pragmatically tackle its underlying non-convex design optimization. FAVIB extends the current state-of-the-art approaches via capacitating a full sweep over the entire gamut of the trade-off parameter. Consequently, the trajectory of all achievable points in the Information-Compression plane becomes traversable via soft mappings. It will be shown that, by enjoying an inherent error protection, this novel compression scheme can obviate the call for separate channel coding on the forward path.

description: We consider critical percolation on a supercritical Galton-Watson tree. We show that, when the offspring distribution is in the domain of attraction of an $α$-stable law for some $α\in (1,2)$, or has finite variance, several annealed properties also hold in a quenched setting. In particular, the following properties hold for the critical root cluster on almost every realisation of the tree: (1) the rescaled survival probabilities converge; (2) the Yaglom limit or its stable analogue hold - in particular, conditioned on survival, the number of vertices at generation $n$ that are connected to the root cluster rescale to a certain (explicit) random variable; (3) conditioned on initial survival, the sequence of generation sizes in the root cluster rescales to a continuous-state branching process. This strengthens some earlier results of Michelen (2019) who proved (1) and (2) in the case where the initial tree has an offspring distribution with all moments finite.

description: Ein Blick in die Geschichte der Opferhilfe zeigt, dass diese ihren Anfang in feministischen Frauenprojekten nahm, die das Ziel verfolgten, häusliche Gewalt gegen Frauen öffentlich zu machen. Die Beratung von gewaltbetroffenen Frauen ist bis heute ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Arbeit der Opferberatungsstellen geblieben. Dennoch gibt es in der Literatur Hinweise darauf, dass deren Zugang zu finanziellen Leistungen der Opferhilfe erschwert ist. Die Autorin verfolgt mit ihrer Arbeit das Ziel, Schwierigkeiten bei der Inanspruchnahme finanzieller Opferhilfe im Zusammenhang mit Opfern häuslicher Gewalt aufzudecken, zu erklären und daraus Massnahmen für einen verbesserten Zugang abzuleiten. Als Forschungsinstrument verwendet sie das Leitfadeninterview. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass sich Schwierigkeiten, wenn der Zugang zur Opferhilfe gegeben ist, ausschliesslich in Bezug auf die Entschädigung und Genugtuung ergeben. Dies wird dadurch begründet, dass die Opferberatung oftmals in Form einer Krisenintervention erfolgt und längerfristige Ziele – wie die Beantragung einer Genugtuung – in den Hintergrund treten. Ausserdem machen die Ausführungen zu den Merkmalen und Eigenheiten häuslicher Gewalt deutlich, dass sich häusliche Gewalt gerade dadurch auszeichnet, dass sie schwer nachzuweisen ist, weshalb der Nachweis der Opfereigenschaft oftmals zum Problem wird. Dass ein Teil der Opfer über keinen Zugang zur Opferhilfe verfügt, erklärt sich durch die Tabuisierung des Themas. Als Massnahme zur Verbesserung des Zugangs wird unter anderem die erneute Kontaktierung der Opfer nach Beendigung der Beratung genannt.

description: Survey experiments are an important tool to measure policy preferences. Researchers often rely on the random assignment of policy attribute levels to estimate different types of average marginal effects. Yet, researchers are often interested in how respondents trade-off different policy dimensions. We use a conjoint experiment administered to more than 10,000 respondents in Germany, to study preferences over personal freedoms and public welfare during the COVID-19 crisis. Using a pre-registered structural model, we estimate policy ideal points and indifference curves to assess the conditions under which citizens are willing to sacrifice freedoms in the interest of public well-being. We document broad willingness to accept restrictions on rights alongside sharp heterogeneity with respect to vaccination status. The majority of citizens are vaccinated and strongly support limitations on freedoms in response to extreme conditions—especially, when they vaccinated themselves are exempted from these limitations. The unvaccinated minority prefers no restrictions on freedoms regardless of the severity of the pandemic. These policy packages also matter for reported trust in government, in opposite ways for vaccinated and unvaccinated citizens.

description: The Act of Reflective Practice explores the manner in which three individuals, young architects, came together and the manner in which their inherent value systems inform and determine the way they produce architecture. The research offers a systematic distillation of the common value systems behind the individuals who comprise iredale pedersen hook architects, identifying the particularity of each practitioner in terms of their expertise, experience and character within the collective and the situations from which the individuals have emerged. The PhD tracks the evolution of the practice and identification of its architecture through the RMIT Invitational Masters of Architecture by Project program and PhD by Project program, contextualizing the work through the establishment of a network of mentors and peers and ultimately locates the work locally, nationally and globally.

When introduced to the idea of the 'Reflective Practitioner', the architecture of iredale pedersen hook has taken a significant evolutionary step where the three individuals have begun to operate in a more cohesive manner and the inherent value system and concerns behind the work are now able to inform the future direction of the architecture. The research also explores how this shift has expand the character of the work and transform the manner in which the architecture is conceived, described and ultimately produced. Through the PhD and the accompanying Masters by my two practice partners and collaborators, Adrian Iredale and Finn Pedersen, the primary concerns embedded within our work have been isolated and a systematic but qualitative method developed that may assess the impact of these concerns across a selection of iredale pedersen hook projects.

The PhD defines a methodology, The Field of Concerns, by which the projects produced by iredale pedersen hook architects may be scrutinised and assessed in a qualitative framework, based on the agreed parameters and inherent value system underpinning the work. The definition of the Field of Concerns is critical in the ability to establish an identity for each project and place it within the evolutionary output of the practice. Subsequent testing of the projects against the Concerns through the creation of spider diagrams enables the establishment of a visual process for evaluating the success of the projects against the aims of the practice and can be applied throughout the design process and upon completion. Together, the process of clarification, the questioning of our ability to claim authorship, and presence of all partners in each project may offer a qualitative framework for other 'Self-Curating Collectives' to establish criteria for exploring the evolution of their work.

Im Forschungsteil dieser Arbeit geht sie der Frage nach, welche Bedeutung die Auseinandersetzung mit Musik in der bisherigen Biografie der Zielgruppe hat und welche unterstützenden Faktoren sich in Bezug auf das subjektive Wohlbefinden und die soziale und kulturelle Teilhabe auf die drei analytischen Ebenen (Miso, Meso, Makro) übertragen lassen. Die durch narrative Interviews gewonnenen Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass Musik einen wertvollen Beitrag zur kulturellen Teilhabe und zum subjektiven Wohlbefinden leisten kann. Die aufgezeigten Handlungsmöglichkeiten bieten praktikable Möglichkeiten, Musik als Thema in der Sozialen Arbeit aufzugreifen und einzusetzen. Die Arbeit richtet sich an Professionelle der Sozialen Arbeit, aber auch an musikinteressierte Menschen.

description: This thesis investigates the determinants of capital structure and seeks to establish the degree to which cross-country differences affect capital structure. The theoretical foundations of this research derive from various theories of capital structure, including the trade-off theory, agency cost theory and pecking order theory. The problem encountered with this type of research, and the cross-sectional models associated with it, is that the theories are not sufficiently precise to produce a limited set of determining variables, which invariably leads to data mining. To overcome this problem, this thesis employs extreme bounds analysis (EBA) to distinguish between robust and fragile determinants of capital structure.

The empirical analysis is based on a large and diverse data set collected from Datastream and the World Bank. The size, complexity and detail of the data set pose a unique advantage for the analysis intended in this thesis (information at the firm and country levels on 28 variables covering 17 countries from 2003 until 2013). The objective of the study is to show that a large number of variables that have been reported as statistically significant determinants of capital structure are, in fact, fragile and only appear significant because of a particular selection of explanatory variables.

Through the application of EBA and running almost 2 million regressions throughout two phases of the analysis, the results reveal important findings pertaining to the determinants of capital structure. The results confirm the consistency and robustness of several firm-specific determinants across several countries; with respect to country-specific determinants, it appears that they do not have a substantial effect on the leverage choice of firms. Additionally, the similarity of the robust determinants of capital structure within and across countries increases when using either the book value or market value measures of leverage, which means that the determinants of leverage vary, depending on which component of debt is analysed. Most importantly, proper inference requires full reporting and transparency, which means that p-values and related statistics should not be reported selectively.

description: Macroscopic-scale nanostructures, situated at the interface of nanostructures and bulk materials, hold significant promise in the realm of thermoelectric materials. Nanostructuring presents a compelling avenue for enhancing material thermoelectric performance as well as unlocking intriguing nanoscale phenomena, including spin-dependent thermoelectric effects. This is achieved while preserving high power output capabilities and ease of measurements related to the overall macroscopic dimensions. Within this framework, the recently developed three-dimensional interconnected nanowire and nanotube networks, integrated into a flexible polymer membrane, emerge as promising candidates for macroscopic nanostructures. The flexibility of these composites also paves the way for advances in the burgeoning field of flexible thermoelectrics. In this study, we demonstrate that the three-dimensional nanowire networks made of ferromagnetic metals maintain the intrinsic bulk thermoelectric power of their bulk constituent even for a diameter reduced to approximately 23 nm. Furthermore, we showcase the pioneering magneto-thermoelectric measurements of three-dimensional interconnected nickel nanotube networks. These macroscopic materials, comprising interconnected nanotubes, enable the development of large-area devices that exhibit efficient thermoelectric performance, while their nanoscale tubular structures provide distinctive magneto-transport properties. This research represents a significant step toward harnessing the potential of macroscopic nanostructured materials in the field of thermoelectrics.

description: Recent advancements in immune sequencing and experimental techniques are generating extensive T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire data, enabling the development of models to predict TCR binding specificity. Despite the computational challenges due to the vast diversity of TCRs and epitopes, significant progress has been made. This paper discusses the evolution of the computational models developed for this task, with a focus on machine learning efforts, including the early unsupervised clustering approaches, supervised models, and the more recent applications of Protein Language Models (PLMs). We critically assess the most prominent models in each category, and discuss recurrent challenges, such as the lack of generalization to new epitopes, dataset biases, and biases in the validation design of the models.
 Furthermore, our paper discusses the transformative role of transformer-based protein models in bioinformatics. These models, pretrained on extensive collections of unlabeled protein sequences, can convert amino acid sequences into vectorized embeddings that capture important biological properties. We discuss recent attempts to leverage PLMs to deliver very competitive performances in TCR-related tasks. Finally, we address the pressing need for improved interpretability in these often opaque models, proposing strategies to amplify their impact in the field.

description: Superconductivity in quasicrystals poses a new challenge in condensed matter physics. We measured the resistance and ac magnetic susceptibility of a Ta$_{1.6}$Te dodecagonal quasicrystal, which is superconducting below $T_c \sim$ 1 K. We show that the upper critical field increases linearly with a large slope of $-$4.4 T/K with decreasing temperature down to 0.04 K, with no tendency to level off. The extrapolated zero-temperature critical field exceeds the Pauli limit by a factor of 2.3. We also observed flux-flow resistance with thermally activated behavior and an irreversibility field that is distinct from the upper critical field. We discuss these peculiarities in terms of the nonuniform superconducting gap and spin--orbit interaction in quasicrystal structures.

Asymptotic expansions of truncated hypergeometric series for $1/π$

description: In this paper, we consider rational hypergeometric series of the form \[\frac{p}π= \sum_{k=0}^\infty u_k\quad\text{with}\quad u_k=\frac{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)_k \left(q\right)_k \left(1-q\right)_k}{(k!)^3}(r+s\,k)\,t^k,\] where $(a)_k$ denotes the Pochhammer symbol and $p,q,r,s,t$ are algebraic coefficients. Using only the first $n+1$ terms of this series, we define the remainder \[\mathcal{R}_n = \frac{p}π - \sum_{k=0}^n u_k=\sum_{k=n+1}^\infty u_k.\] We consider an asymptotic expansion of $\mathcal{R}_n$. More precisely, we provide a recursive relation for determining the coefficients $c_j$ such that \[ \mathcal{R}_n = \frac{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)_n \left(q\right)_n \left(1-q\right)_n}{n!^3}nt^n\left(\sum_{j=0}^{J-1}\frac{c_j}{n^j}+\mathcal{O}\left(n^{-J}\right)\right),\qquad n \rightarrow \infty.\] Here we need $J<\infty$ to approximate $\mathcal{R}_n$, because (like the Stirling series) this series diverges if $J\rightarrow\infty$. By applying our recursive relation to the Chudnovsky formula, we solve an open problem posed by Han and Chen.

description: Three-dimensional interconnected nanowire networks have recently attracted notable attention for the fabrication of new devices for energy harvesting/storage, sensing, catalysis, magnetic and spintronic applications and for the design of new hardware neuromorphic computing architectures. However, the complex branching of these nanowire networks makes it challenging to investigate these 3D nanostructured systems theoretically. Here, we present a theoretical description and simulations of the geometric properties of these 3D interconnected nanowire networks with selected characteristics. Our analysis reveals that the nanowire segment length between two crossing zones follows an exponential distribution. This suggests that shorter nanowire segments have a more pronounced influence on the nanowire network properties compared to their longer counterparts. Moreover, our observations reveal a homogeneous distribution in the smallest distance between the cores of two crossing nanowires. The results are highly reproducible and unaffected by changes in the nanowire network characteristics. The density of crossing zones and interconnected nanowire segments are found to vary as the square of the nanowire density multiplied by their diameter, further multiplied by a factor dependent on the packing factor. Finally, densities of interconnected segments up to 10$^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$ can be achieved for 22-$μ$m-thick nanowire networks with high packing factors. This has important implications for neuromorphic computing applications, suggesting that the realization of 10$^{14}$ interconnections, which corresponds to the approximate number of synaptic connections in the human brain, is achievable with a nanowire network of about 10 cm$^{2}$.
