Department seminar. James Robinson is Professor of Government at University of Chicago. He will present the paper: "The Economic Effects of the English Parliamentary Enclosures".
Abstract: Exchange processes across a porous-medium free-flow interface occur in a wide range of environmental, technical, and bio-mechanical systems. In the course of these processes, flow dynamics in the porous domain and in the free-flow domain exhibit strong coupling, often controlled by mechanisms at the common interfaces. Such processes need to be analyzed on small scales and new scale-bridging modeling concepts need to be developed for an accurate description also on larger scales (REV scale). Recent developments within the Collaborative Research Center "Interface-Driven Multi-Field Processes in Porous Media – Flow, Transport and Deformation" and the Cluster of Excellence SimTech at the University Stuttgart regarding such aspects for coupled free-flow and porous-medium flow systems will be presented in this talk.
This talk is part of the Mechanics Lunch Seminar series. Bring-your-own-lunch and lots of questions.
Abstract: We present a second-order numerical scheme to compute capillary bridges between arbitrary solids by minimizing the total energy of all interfaces. From a theoretical point of view, this approach can be interpreted as the computation of generalized minimal surfaces using a Newton-scheme utilizing the shape Hessian. In particular, we give an explicit representation of the shape Hessian for functionals on shells involving the normal vector without reverting back to a volume formulation. From an algorithmic perspective, we combine a resolved interface via a triangulated surface for the liquid with a level-set description for the constraints stemming from the arbitrary geometry. The actual shape of the capillary bridge is then computed via finite elements provided by the FEniCS environment, minimizing the shape derivative of the total interface energy.

China’s rise to superpower status is the most important geopolitical change of our time. On November 3rd we are excited to host two international experts on this topic, Elizabeth Economy and Shaun Breslin, in discussion with China correspondent for the New York Times, Amy Qin.
Cards are drawn, one at a time, with replacement, from a deck of n cards. I study the total time W_n needed until we have seen all n cards, via different perspectives, along with a Gumbel limiting distribution. Various non-trivial identities, involving different perspectives for moments and Laplace transformations, are found as corollaries. These findings are also used to estimate the number of different cards,if uknown. If I needed to sample 133 words from a document, before I had 50 different words, what is the vocabulary size for the document? How many words did Shakespeare know (including those he never used in his writing)?
An Abels T?rn podcast about some of these themes, which attracted a fair amount of inspired comments and guesses from the public (specifically, finding the mean of W_n above, for the case of n = 52 cards), can be found on the Abels T?rn website, July 2021, as a conversation with Torkild Jemterud, Jo R?islien, and myself.

Does climate panic cost us billions of dollars, harm the poor, and slow down transition to a better world?Arne N?ss seminars, Wigestrand Forlag and Norwegian Business School (BI) invite to a book debate with Bj?rn Lomborg, Bj?rn H. Samset and Atle Midttun.
The Centre for Gender Research and the FRONT project are hosting the first event in the seminar series Gender Inequality and Precarity in Academia in the European Context. In this webinar, Sevil Sümer will discuss the concept of gendered academic citizenship, focusing particularly on problems experienced by early-career academics, or “transitional” academic citizens.

Professor Dan Crisan, Imperial College London, author of several books on filtering is now holding an intensive course.
Abstract: Mixed-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) are equations coupling unknown fields defined over domains of differing topological dimensions. Such mixed-dimensional PDEs naturally arise in a wide range of fields including geology, biomedicine, and fracture mechanics. We introduce an automated framework dedicated to mixed-dimensional problems as part of the FEniCS library. This talk gives an overview of the abstractions and algorithms involved. The introduced tools will be illustrated by concrete examples of applications in biomedicine (see below for more detailed context).
