Elastic collisions between two dressed grains charged with the same sign in dusty plasmas are investigated using the first- and second-order eikonal method. An interaction potential model taking into account the cross terms of shield effects is applied to describe the interaction potential between dressed dust grains in dusty plasmas. The impact parameter method is applied to investigate the variation of the eikonal phase and elastic cross section as functions of dust charge, Debye length, and collision energy. The result shows that the potential well in the interaction potential plays an important role in the elastic cross section as well as in the eikonal phase. It is also found that the dressing effects significantly increase the elastic cross section and change the sign of the eikonal phase. It is also found that the second-order eikonal phase is caused by the pure plasma screening effects.

Black and gray box learning of amplitude equations: Application to phase field systems.

Phys Rev E

February 2023

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Whiting School of Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, 3400 North Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21218, USA.

We present a data-driven approach to learning surrogate models for amplitude equations and illustrate its application to interfacial dynamics of phase field systems. In particular, we demonstrate learning effective partial differential equations describing the evolution of phase field interfaces from full phase field data. We illustrate this on a model phase field system, where analytical approximate equations for the dynamics of the phase field interface (a higher-order eikonal equation and its approximation, the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation) are known.

An aberration correction approach for single and dual aperture ultrasound imaging of the abdomen.

Ultrasonics

May 2023

Photoacoustics & Ultrasound Laboratory Eindhoven (PULS/e), Department of Biomedical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, P.O. Box 513, Eindhoven, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Electronic address:

Abdominal ultrasound image quality is hampered by phase aberration, that is mainly caused by the large speed-of-sound (SoS) differences between fat and muscle tissue in the abdominal wall. The mismatch between the assumed and actual SoS distribution introduces general blurring of the ultrasound images, and acoustic refraction can lead to geometric distortion of the imaged features. Large aperture imaging or dual-transducer imaging can improve abdominal imaging at deep locations by providing increased contrast and resolution.

Classical Gravitational Spinning-Spinless Scattering at O(G^{2}S^{∞}).

Phys Rev Lett

September 2022

Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, USA.

Making use of the recently derived, all-spin, opposite-helicity Compton amplitude, we calculate the classical gravitational scattering amplitude for one spinning and one spinless object at O(G^{2}) and all orders in spin. By construction, this amplitude exhibits the spin structure that has been conjectured to describe Kerr black holes. This spin structure alone is not enough to fix all deformations of the Compton amplitude by contact terms, but when combined with considerations of the ultrarelativistic limit we can uniquely assign values to the parameters remaining in the even-in-spin sector.

A dense single-node 3D seismic survey has been carried out around the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua (Italy), in order to give new insights about the archaeological setting of the area. The survey made use of nearly 1500 vertical nodes deployed over two rectangular grids. 38 shot positions were fired all around the two receiver patches.

A comparative study on computational models of multi-electrode radiofrequency ablation of large liver tumors.

Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg

August 2022

Siemens Healthineers, Digital Technology and Innovation, Princeton, NJ, USA.

Purpose: Thermal ablation of liver tumors has emerged as a first-line curative treatment for single small tumors (diameter < 2.5 cm) due to similar overall survival rates as surgical resection. Moreover, it is far less invasive, has lower complication rates, a superior cost-effectiveness, and an extremely low treatment-associated mortality.
