Rapid motion estimation and correction using self-encoded FID navigators in 3D radial MRI

Tobias Kober, Davide Piccini

Purpose: To develop a self-navigated motion compensation strategy for 3D radial MRI that can compensate for continuous head motion by measuring rigid body motion parameters with high temporal resolution from the central k-space acquisition point (self-enco ...

Geometric Algebra for Optimal Control With Applications in Manipulation Tasks

Sylvain Calinon, Tobias Löw

Many problems in robotics are fundamentally problems of geometry, which have led to an increased research effort in geometric methods for robotics in recent years. The results were algorithms using the various frameworks of screw theory, Lie algebra, and d ...

Unraveling looping efficiency of stochastic Cosserat polymers

Giulio Corazza, Raushan Singh

Understanding looping probabilities, including the particular case of ring closure or cyclization, of fluctuating polymers (e.g., DNA) is important in many applications in molecular biology and chemistry. In a continuum limit the configuration of a polymer ...

Screw vs. edge dislocation strengthening in body-centered-cubic high entrophy alloys and implications for guided alloy design

William Curtin, Francesco Maresca, Carolina Baruffi

Body-centered-cubic (BCC) high entropy alloys (HEAs) can show exceptionally high strength up to high temperatures. Mechanistic theories are needed to guide alloy discovery within the immense multicomponent HEA compositional space. Here, two new theories fo ...

To tread or not to tread: comparison between water treading and conventional flapping wing kinematics

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Alexander Gehrke, Swathi Badala Krishna

Hovering insects are limited by their physiology and need to rotate their wings at the end of each back-and-forth motion to keep the wing's leading edge ahead of its trailing edge. The wing rotation at the end of each half-stroke pushes the leading edge vo ...

Optical rotating torque sensor with nano newton-meter resolution based on a hanging torsion wire

Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Billy Nussbaumer

This article presents a novel torque measuring setup working in the nano newton-meter range. The central novelty is a long (1 meter range) thin (diameter of a few tens of micrometers) metallic wire used instead of the relatively stiff torsion zone of the s ...

High-order based revelation of bifurcation of novel Schatz-inspired metamorphic mechanisms using screw theory

Huijuan Feng

The revelation of mechanism bifurcation is essential in the design and analysis of reconfigurable mechanisms. The first- and second-order based methods have successfully revealed the bifurcation of mechanisms. However, they fail in the novel Schatz-inspire ...

Experimental studies of the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium electronic structure of non-symmorphic topological materials

Gianmarco Gatti

Symmetry and topology are fundamental properties of nature. Mathematics provides us with a general framework to understand these concepts. On one side, symmetry describes the invariance properties of an object for specific transformations. On the other sid ...

Prospective head motion correction using FID-guided on-demand image navigators

Rolf Gruetter, Reto Meuli, Tobias Kober, Gunnar Krüger, Tom Hilbert, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal, Guillaume Bonnier, Maryna Volodimirivna Waszak, Pavel Falkovskiy

PURPOSE: We suggest a motion correction concept that employs free-induction-decay (FID) navigator signals to continuously monitor motion and to guide the acquisition of image navigators for prospective motion correction following motion detection. METHODS: ...

Geometric Optimization of a Reciprocal Floor-Framing System with Self-Weight and Area-Loading Considerations

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

This paper explores the geometric optimization of a planar reciprocal frame (RF) floor framing structure, focusing on the triangular topology. The structural performance of the frames is computed and plotted against the geometric parameters for various loa ...

Bloch theorem with revised boundary conditions applied to glide and screw symmetric, quasi-one-dimensional structures

Florian Paul Robert Maurin

Bloch theorem is useful for analyzing wave propagation in periodic systems. It has been widely used to determine the energy bands of various translationally-periodic crystals and with the advent of nanoscale structures like nanotubes, it has been extended ...

Effect of static and kinematic boundary conditions on the out-of-plane response of brick masonry walls

Katrin Beyer

The Unreinforced Wall (URM) elements that are most susceptible to out-of-plane failure are wall elements of the upper storeys where the accelerations are largest. In modern URM buildings with reinforced concrete slabs, the out-of-plane mechanism involves t ...

Muscle Moment-Arms: A Key Element in Muscle-Force Estimation

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Müllhaupt, David Ingram, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

A clear and rigorous definition of muscle moment-arms in the context of musculoskeletal systems modelling is presented, using classical mechanics and screw theory. The definition provides an alternative to the tendon excursion method, which can lead to inc ...
