2. Dynamic electric breakdown modeling of quasi-uniform, dielectric-bounded gas gaps 

   Färber, Raphael; Yang, Lu; Balmelli, Michelangelo; et al. (2024)

   The motivating problem for this paper is the determination of the probability of breakdown of small (< mm) quasi-uniform, dielectric-bounded air gaps under short transient voltages (some ns to us). Guidelines for answering this question are of importance in many areas of applied plasma physics, ranging from new spark ignition concepts with ultrashort high-voltage pulses (consistent high breakdown voltage desired) to the avoidance of the ...

3. Attributions toward artificial agents in a modified Moral Turing Test 

   Aharoni, Eyal; Fernandes, Sharlene; Brady, Daniel J.; et al. (2024)

   Scientific Reports

   Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) raise important questions about whether people view moral evaluations by AI systems similarly to human-generated moral evaluations. We conducted a modified Moral Turing Test (m-MTT), inspired by Allen et al. (Exp Theor Artif Intell 352:24–28, 2004) proposal, by asking people to distinguish real human moral evaluations from those made by a popular advanced AI language model: GPT-4. A representative ...

4. Swift: a modern highly parallel gravity and smoothed particle hydrodynamics solver for astrophysical and cosmological applications 

   Schaller, Matthieu; Borrow, Josh; Draper, Peter W.; et al. (2024)

   Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

   Numerical simulations have become one of the key tools used by theorists in all the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. The development of modern tools that target the largest existing computing systems and exploit state-of-the-art numerical methods and algorithms is thus crucial. In this paper, we introduce the fully open-source highly-parallel, versatile, and modular coupled hydrodynamics, gravity, cosmology, and galaxy-formation code ...

5. Nonplanar Layered Morphologies 

   Mitropoulou, Ioanna (2024)

   This thesis investigates the potential of nonplanar robotic 3D printing for architectural applications and develops novel methods to design nonplanar print paths for medium to large-scale robotic FDM 3D printing. Latest developments in additive manufacturing have opened new possibilities for 3D printing objects with unprecedented geometric complexity. However, these advancements are still hindered by the inherent limitations of current ...
