1. Joint Chance Constrained Optimal Control via Linear Programming 

   Schmid, Niklas; Fochesato, Marta; Sutter, Tobias; et al. (2024)

   IEEE CONTROL SYSTEMS LETTERS

   We establish a linear programming formulation for the solution of joint chance constrained optimal control problems over finite time horizons. The joint chance constraint may represent an invariance, reachability or reach-avoid specification that the trajectory must satisfy with a predefined probability. For finite state and action spaces, the solution is exact and our method computationally superior to approaches in the literature. For ...

2. Reflecting on the Science of Climate Tipping Points to Inform and Assist Policy Making and Address the Risks they Pose to Society 

   Stocker, T. F.; Jones, R. G.; Hegglin, M. I.; et al. (2024)

   SURVEYS IN GEOPHYSICS

   There is a diverging perception of climate tipping points, abrupt changes and surprises in the scientific community and the public. While such dynamics have been observed in the past, e.g., frequent reductions of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation during the last ice age, or ice sheet collapses, tipping points might also be a possibility in an anthropogenically perturbed climate. In this context, high impact-low likelihood ...

3. Out-of-focus spatial map imaging of magnetically deflected sodium ammonia clusters 

   Avocat, D. P. Borgeaud Dit; Yang, H.; Nitsche, A.; et al. (2024)

   Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

   This paper introduces out-of-focus spatial map imaging (SMI) as a detection method for magnetic deflection of molecular/cluster beams, using Nam(NH3)n to illustrate its capabilities. This method enables imaging of the complete spatial distribution, simplifying measurements and allowing for cluster-size-resolved analysis by shifting away from traditional in-focus SMI conditions. Incorporating out-of-focus SMI with TOF-MS and velocity map ...

4. EMPIRICALLY TUNED MECHANICAL SIMULATION MODEL OF 3D-PRINTED BIAXIAL WEAVES 

   Wirth, Marc; Shea, Kristina (2023)

   PROCEEDINGS OF ASME 2023 INTERNATIONAL DESIGN ENGINEERING TECHNICAL CONFERENCES AND COMPUTERS AND INFORMATION IN ENGINEERING CONFERENCE, IDETC-CIE2023, VOL 3A

   Additive manufacturing facilitates the realization of previously infeasible designs. Amongst them are 3D-printed textiles and specifically 3D-printed weaves. Textile designs can be spatially tuned in their mechanical properties by changing the pattern and material locally, when printed on a multi-material 3D printer. To inversely design weaves with desired mechanical properties, an efficient simulation of the mechanical behavior of textiles ...

5. Physiological Profiles of Male and Female CrossFit Athletes 

   D'Hulst, Gommaar; Hodzic, Deni; Leuenberger, Rahel; et al. (2024)

   International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance

   Objective: To (1) establish extensive physiological profiles of highly trained CrossFit (R) athletes using gold-standard tests and (2) investigate which physiological markers best correlate with CrossFit Open performance. Methods: This study encompassed 60 participants (30 men and 30 women), all within the top 5% of the CrossFit Open, including 7 CrossFit semifinalists and 3 CrossFit Games finalists. Isokinetic dynamometers were employed ...
