Abstract: There are provided a colloidal crystal having a four-fold symmetric pattern and capable of stably existing even in a geometrically unconstrained space, and a method for producing the same. The colloidal crystal of the present invention exists in a geometrically unconstrained space and has a four-fold symmetric pattern. The colloidal crystal of the present invention can be produced by filling a dispersion of colloidal particles between a substrate 1 and an opposed plate 2 facing the substrate 1 to precipitate a charged colloidal crystal having a four-fold symmetric pattern (crystallization step S1); and electrostatically adsorbing and immobilizing, onto the substrate 1, the charged colloidal crystal having a four-fold symmetric pattern (immobilization step S2).

Abstract: An approach is provided for accelerated flood modeling. Using a down-sampling neural network, a low-resolution elevation map is generated from a high-resolution elevation map. Using a partial differential equation (PDE) model, a low-resolution water depth map is generated from the low-resolution elevation map and one or more boundary conditions. Using an up-sampling neural network, a high-resolution water depth map is generated from the low-resolution water depth map. The down-sampling and up-sampling neural networks are trained by minimizing a loss between the generated high-resolution water depth map and ground truth data generated by the PDE model using the high-resolution elevation map as direct input and without using the low-resolution elevation map.
