We present very deep narrow band observations of a volume containing a significant over-density of galaxies previously discovered in our survey for continuum–selected Lyman break galaxies at redshifts 2.7 < ∼ z < ∼ 3.4. The new observations are used in conjunction with our spectroscopic results on LBGs to compare the effectiveness of continuum and emission line searches for star forming galaxie...

In this paper, we develop a macroscopic model for pedestrian flow using the dynamic continuum modeling approach. We consider a two-dimensional walking facility that is represented as a continuum within which pedestrians can move freely in any direction. A pedestrian chooses a route based on his or her memory of the shortest path to the desired destination when the facility is empty and, at the ...

Homogenization technique has been used to derive equivalent material properties of masonry units for many years. However, most of the previous research work concentrated on derivation of equivalent material properties for solid brick masonry structure. Very few studies have been conducted to investigate complex mechanical properties of hollow concrete block masonry unit. In this paper, homogeni...

The kinematics and the balance equations for multiphase micro-architectured materials such as foams, textiles, or beam-like structures exhibit a peculiar macroscopic behavior. The topology and mechanical properties of their structural constituents at the microscale induce this behavior. The derivation of the effective mechanical properties of 2D and 3D lattices made of articulated beams is here...

For 1 < p < ∞ and p 6= 2 we construct a family of mutually non-equivalent greedy bases in `p having the cardinality of the continuum. In fact, no basis from this family is equivalent to a rearranged subsequence of any other basis thereof. We are able to extend this statement to the spaces Lp and H1. Moreover, the technique used in the proof adapts to the setting of almost greedy bases where sim...

This paper deals with non-Markovian behavior in atomic systems coupled to a structured reservoir of quantum electromagnetic field modes, with particular relevance to atoms interacting with the field in high-Q cavities or photonic band-gap materials. In cases such as the former, we show that the pseudomode theory for single-quantum reservoir excitations can be obtained by applying the Fano diago...
