The control possibilities for soft robots have long been hindered by the lack of accurate yet computationally treatable dynamic models of soft structures. Polynomial curvature models propose a solution to this quest for continuum slender structures. Nevert ...

Background: Large-scale proteomic studies have to deal with unwanted variability, especially when samples originate from different centers and multiple analytical batches are needed. Such variability is typically added throughout all the steps of a clinica ...
Knowledge of oxygen diffusion in garnet is crucial for a correct interpretation of oxygen isotope signatures in natural samples. A series of experiments was undertaken to determine the diffusivity of oxygen in garnet, which remains poorly constrained. The ...
The main objective of this PhD thesis is to link the atomic scale structure to the catalytic properties of self-assembled nanostructures. The growth and characterization of these nanostructures was carried out in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber initiall ...
We investigate experimentally and theoretically diffusiophoretic separation of negatively charged particles in a rectangular channel flow, driven by CO2 dissolution from one side-wall. Since the negatively charged particles create an exclusion zone near th ...
The photoisomerization behavior of styryl 9M, a common dye used in material sciences, is investigated using tandem ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) coupled with laser spectroscopy. Styryl 9M has two alkene linkages, potentially allowing for four geometric i ...
Modelling and analysis of biological systems is crucial in order to quantitatively explain and predict their behaviour.
The importance of modelling in systems biology
becomes even more evident when tackling complex, large systems. Approaches
that rely on ...
Online characterization of aerosol composition at the near-molecular level is key to understanding chemical reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and sources under various atmospheric conditions. The recently developed extractive electrospray ionization time-of-f ...
The characterization of biomolecules plays a central role in biomedical research. The development of state-of-the-art technologies is needed to make such analyses faster, more sensitive, and more accurate. While mass spectrometry continues to play a centra ...
