Energy consumption reduction is key factor for sustainable mobility. This paper presents the design and specification of eCoMessages as a key technology component of the eCoMove project. These messages enhance existing protocols for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, which were primarily designed for road safety applications. The ecoMessages enable a wide range of ...

We are interested in asymptotic models for the propagation of internal waves at the interface between two shallow layers of immiscible fluid, under the rigid-lid assumption. We review and complete existing works in the literature, in order to offer a unified and comprehensive exposition. Anterior models such as the shallow water and Boussinesq systems, as well as unidirectional models of Camass...

Conventional integral equation methods for diffraction gratings require lattice sum techniques to evaluate quasi-periodic Green's functions. The boundary integral equation Neumann-to-Dirichlet map (BIE-NtD) method in Wu and Lu [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 26, 2444 (2009)], [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 28, 1191 (2011)] is a recently developed integral equation method that avoids the quasi-periodic Green's functio...

We present results for realistic modeling of the x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) of the overdoped high-Tc superconductor La2−xSrxCuO4 in the hole doping range x = 0.20 − 0.30. Our computations are based on a real-space Green’s function approach in which strong-correlation effects are taken into account in terms of a doping-dependent self-energy. The predicted O K-edge XANES is foun...

Environmentalism has fast emerged as a worldwide phenomenon. Today many sectors have accepted their responsibility to take green initiatives for protecting the planet. The automobile companies are also moving towards saving the environment through Green Cars. The green technology in car is a new trend but is the only option to save environment from heavy pollution. Though in Western countries, ...

Optical modulation is a crucial operation in photonics for network data processing with the aim to overcome information bottleneck in terms of speed, energy consumption, dispersion and cross-talking from conventional electronic interconnection approach. However, due to the weak interactions between photons, a facile physical approach is required to efficiently manipulate photon-photon interacti...

A fast fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) system is developed that can acquire images at a rate of hundreds of frames per second. The FLIM system is based on a wide-field microscope equipped with a time-gated intensified CCD detector and a pulsed laser. The time-gated detector acquires the signals from two time gates simultaneously and is therefore insensitive to movements of the specimen and...

Predators can strongly influence prey populations and the structure and function of ecosystems, but these effects can be modified by environmental stress. For example, fluid velocity and turbulence can alter the impact of predators by limiting their environmental range and altering their foraging ability. We investigated how hydrodynamics affected the foraging behavior of the green crab (Carcin...
