How do attitudes of habitual high-technology entrepreneurs to early-stage failure differ in Silicon Valley, Cambridge and Munich?
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringInstitute for Manufacturing, 2013-04-16)
Entrepreneurs develop new technology ventures in uncertain conditions with unproven technologies and limited resources. The majority of such ventures fail, yet entrepreneurship is regarded as a national (and regional) ...
Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with CFRP Straps
(American Society of Civil EngineersJournal of Composites for Construction, 2013-07-13)
Shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) structures can be effectively strengthened using external prestressed carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps. Due to the presence of the external elastic straps, a strengthened ...
Designing a more nonlinearly stable laminar flow via boundary manipulation
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013-12-04)
We show how a fully nonlinear variational method can be used to design a more nonlinearly stable laminar shear flow by quantifying the effect of manipulating the boundary conditions of the flow. Using the example of plane ...
Magnetic relaxation, current sheets, and structure formation in an extremely tenuous fluid medium
(IOPScienceThe Astrophysical Journal, 2013-12-03)
The process of relaxation of a unidirectional magnetic field in a highly conducting tenuous fluid medium is considered. Null points of the field play a critical role in this process. During an initial stage of relaxation, ...
Chaos and Entropic Chaos in Kac's Model Without High Moments
(Institute of Mathematical StatisticsElectronic Journal of Probability, 2013-08-27)
In this paper we present a new local Lévy Central Limit Theorem, showing convergence to stable states that are not necessarily the Gaussian, and use it to find new and intuitive entropically chaotic families with underlying ...
