as an extension of the Modified Compression Field Theory (Vecchio and Collins 1986). In this program, the cracked concrete is considered as an orthotropic material. 2.1 Finite element modeling and ...

While the electromagnetic, weak and strong forces are all described using quantum field theory — a mathematical framework that incorporates uncertainty and wave-particle duality — gravity ...

Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the uncert ...

Entomologist Dr. Jessica Ware joins WIRED to answer the internet's burning questions about the world of insects. Are ...

Recent studies have shown promising advancements in light field compression through geometry-aware reconstruction networks. This approach exploits multi-stream architectures to fully utilise the ...

On that basis, Plefka and his colleagues applied techniques from quantum field theory that are more typically used to analyze the behavior of elementary particles. “We’re building on decades ...

String theory has long been touted as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the universe, with elementary particles and forces described as vibrations of tiny threads ...

The minimum background needed to get full benefit of this TASI is a knowledge of quantum field theory and some familiarity with the Standard Model and issues beyond it. We hope to provide some subsidy ...

BP and its partners have approved the next phase of development of the Shah Deniz gas field, which BP operates with a 29.999% interest. The $2.9 billion Shah Deniz Compression project, the field’s ...

Abstract: The paper presents a modified framework for image compression using Burrow Wheeler Transform (BWT). The BWT is widely used in text compression but very few attempts have been made to BWT in ...
