  • Kasner branes with arbitrary signature 
    Sabra, Wafic A. (Elsevier B.V., 2020)
    We present static and time-dependent solutions for the theory of gravity with a dilaton field and an arbitrary rank antisymmetric tensor. The solutions constructed are valid for arbitrary space-time dimensions and signatures. ...

    Sabra, Wafic A. (Elsevier B.V., 2022)
    We consider general charged Kasner-like solutions for the theory of five-dimensional supergravity coupled to Abelian vector multiplets in arbitrary space-time signature. These solutions, depending on the choice of coordinates, ...

    Najem, Sara A.; Krayem, Alaa; Ala-Nissilä, Tapio; Grant, Martin L. (American Physical Society, 2020)
    We analyze the morphology of the modern urban skyline in terms of its roughness properties. This is facilitated by a database of 107 building heights in cities throughout the Netherlands which allows us to compute the ...
  • Koopman operator for Burgers's equation 
    Balabane, Mikhaël; Méndez, Miguel Alfonso; Najem, Sara A. (American Physical Society, 2021)
    We consider the flow of Burgers's equation on an open set of (small) functions in L2([0,1]). We derive explicitly the Koopman decomposition of the Burgers flow. We identify the frequencies and the coefficients of this ...
  • Laplace surface dynamics, revisited: Satellites, exoplanets, and debris with distant, eccentric companions 
    Farhat, Mohammad A.; Touma, Jihad R. (Oxford University Press, 2021)
    To date, studies of Laplace surface dynamics have concerned themselves with test particle orbits of fixed shape and orientation in the combined field of an oblate central body (to which the particle is bound) and a distant, ...
  • Machine learning for buildings' characterization and power-law recovery of urban metrics 
    Krayem, Alaa; Yeretzian, Aram; Faour, Ghaleb; Najem, Sara A. (Public Library of Science, 2021)
    In this paper we focus on a critical component of the city: its building stock, which holds much of its socio-economic activities. In our case, the lack of a comprehensive database about their features and its limitation ...
  • Magnetic property, DFT calculation, and biological activity of bis[(μ2-chloro)chloro(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II)] complex

    Younes, Joan; Harajli, Zeinab; Soueidan, Maher; Fabrègue, Damien; Zaatar, Youssef; Kazan, Michel (American Institute of Physics Inc., 2020)
    The resonances of phonon and plasmon modes make the absorbance coefficient of materials tremendously high in the mid-infrared spectral range, which allows for a mid-infrared excitation laser to heat the surface layers of ...
