(author), Fong, Kin Chung (author), Hardy, Edward (author)It has been suggested that certain antiferromagnetic topological insulators contain axion quasiparticles (AQs), and that such materials could be used to detect axion dark matter (DM). The AQ is a longitudinal antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation coupled to the electromagnetic Chern-Simons term, which, in the presence of an applied magnetic...journal article 2021

Ali, Liaqat (author), Makhdoom, Nageena (author), Gao, Yifan (author), Fang, P. (author), Khan, Sikandar (author), Bai, Yong (author)A numerical model in slice configuration was applied to the Central Andaman Sea in order to derive metocean operational and design criteria associated to internal solitary waves which are large amplitude interfacial waves. For that purpose, a 10 year hindcast was generated. The model was driven by tides at the open boundary and included...journal article 2021

(author)Induction furnace steel slag is a secondary product obtained when molten steel is separated from the impurities in the steel-producing furnaces. Though numerous studies have been published on the mechanical strength of concrete/mortar made with steel slag as fine aggregate, relatively few studies focus on the shrinkage, durability (i.e.,...journal article 2021

Ali, A. (author), Szili-Torok, Tamas (author), Stijnen, Marco (author), Breedveld, P. (author), Dodou, D. (author)Purpose: In previous studies we developed two mechanical prototypes of steerable catheters: the Sigma, which uses joysticks to actuate two steerable tip segments, and the Epsilon, which has a handle that is an enlarged version of the tip. In this study, we present a first performance evaluation of the prototypes in the cardiac environment....journal article 2020

Pons, Gerard (author), Ali, Abdallah El (author), Cesar, Pablo (author)Facial thermal imaging has in recent years shown to be an efficient modality for facial emotion recognition. However, the use of deep learning in this field is still not fully exploited given the small number and size of the current datasets. The goal of this work is to improve the performance of the existing deep networks in thermal facial...conference paper 2020

Zhang, T. (author), Ali, Abdallah El (author), Chen, C. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Cesar, Pablo (author)Recognizing user emotions while they watch short-form videos anytime and anywhere is essential for facilitating video content customization and personalization. However, most works either classify a single emotion per video stimuli, or are restricted to static, desktop environments. To address this, we propose a correlation-based emotion...journal article 2020

Ishiyama, Tomohide (author), Ali, Mohammed (author), Blacquière, G. (author), Nakayama, S. (author)We introduce a blended-acquisition method: temporally signatured and/or modulated and spatially dispersed source array, namely S-/M-DSA. The former S-DSA has much less constraints in the encoding with operational flexibility, allowing non-uniform sampling and non-patterned shooting both in the space and time dimension. The latter M-DSA allows...conference paper 2019
