Quantum energy inequalities (QEIs) were established by Flanagan for the massless scalar field on two-dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes globally conformal to Minkowski space. We extend his result to all two-dimensional globally hyperbolic Lorentzian spacetimes and use it to show that flat spacetime QEIs give a good approximation to the curved spacetime results on sampling timescales short in com...

This paper uses two game-based artworks by Mary Flanagan (primarily [domestic] and to a lesser extent [rootings]), to examine autobiography in the form of digital games. Specifically, it explores the ways in which these games construct/represent subjectivity, how they negotiate agency (both within the work and within the realm of cultural production), and how the game form structures selfnarrat...

This article explores the use of a homogenization method inspired by the classical Irving-Kirkwood procedure in the continuous multiscale modeling of elastic solids within the context of the finite element method. This homogenization method gives rise to a broad range of allowable boundary conditions for the RVE, which, in turn, yield a rich spectrum of estimates of the macroscopic stress respo...

A fast elastic matching based handwritten character recognition method is investigated. In the present method, an unconstrained elastic matching technique, where the matching is optimized locally and individually on each pixel, is utilized together with its a posteriori evaluation based on the eigen-deformations of handwritten characters. Our experimental results show that high recognition rate...

in this research, the influence of adding micro- and nano- sized calcium carbonate powders to nylon-66 was investigated. mechanical properties of micro and nano- composites, including tensile strength, elongation, and young’s modulus, before and after ageing, were determined and analyzed. for this purpose, micro- and nano-sized caco3 particles were used as fillers to prepare micro-composites (c...
