Plasma start-up is a crucial phase for tokamak operations and its design and optimization is getting more and more attention in view of the operation of future large tokamaks like ITER, where costs, risks and operational limits require more design tools. M ...

This study presents the development and experimental validation of an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) based on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Traditional AUS devices are often mechanically complex, prone ...

This monograph is about the author’s 25-year journey as a pioneer, scientist, designer, and lecturer in the field of fibre-polymer composites, applied to structural engineering and architecture. Composites are construction materials that offer unique prope ...

Buildings play a pivotal role in the ongoing worldwide energy transition, accounting for 30% of the global energy consumption. With traditional engineering solutions reaching their limits to tackle such large-scale problems, data-driven methods and Machine ...

There is great interest in "end-to-end" analysis that captures how innovation at the materials, device, and/or architectural levels will impact figures of merit at the application-level. However, there are numerous combinations of devices and architectures ...

Different types of mental rotation tests have been used extensively in psychology to understand human visual reasoning and perception. Understanding what an object or visual scene would look like from another viewpoint is a challenging problem that is made ...

The Laser Power Bed Fusion (LPBF) process is of high interest to many industries, such as motors and vehicles, robotics, biomedical applications, aerospace, and others. LPBF workpieces can indeed achieve near full density and high resistance. However, a la ...

In laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), complex components are manufactured layer-by-layer via scanning the cross-sections of a 3D CAD model using a high intensity laser. Throughout this process, the material is exposed to temperature profiles that significantl ...

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a widely emerging method to assess vascular health in humans. The origins of the signal of reflective PPG on peripheral arteries have not been thoroughly investigated. We aimed to identify and quantify the optical and biomecha ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM), a member of the scanning probe microscopy (SPM) family, holds a unique position as a nano-characterization instrument in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology. Its ability to provide atomic resolution and operate in v ...

Physical simulation is an indispensable component of robotics simulation platforms that serves as the basis for a plethora of research directions. Looking strictly at robotics, the common characteristic of the most popular physics engines, such as ODE, DAR ...

While the basic greedy algorithm gives a semi-streaming algorithm with an approximation guarantee of 2 for the unweighted matching problem, it was only recently that Paz and Schwartzman obtained an analogous result for weighted instances. Their approach is ...

Local defects in the manufacturing of high temperature superconducting cable-in-conduit conductors are known to be present at different stages of the conductor production. The impact of such defects on the performance of one module of the hybrid option of ...

The metric dimension (MD) of a graph is a combinatorial notion capturing the minimum number of landmark nodes needed to distinguish every pair of nodes in the graph based on graph distance. We study how much the MD can increase if we add a single edge to t ...

In light of the energy transition, it becomes a widespread solution to decentralize and to decarbonize energy systems. However, limited transformer capacities are a hurdle for large-scale integration of solar energy in the electricity grid. The aim of this ...

Autonomous soft robots require compact actuators generating large strokes and high forces. Electro-fluidic actuators are especially promising, they combine the advantages of electroactive polymers (low-power consumption, fast response, and electrical power ...

The attosecond quantum beat of an electronic state superposition was captured in SiH4 using soft-X-Ray attosecond transient-absorption spectroscopy. Its decoher-ence and revival, induced by non-adiabatic vibrational dynamics, were reproduced using MCTDH ca ...

A methodology for designing cylindrical origami with different patterns and different cross-sectional shapes is presented. Planar and cylindrical origami with curved-crease patterns are designed and proved to be foldable and developable regardless of the t ...

Most logic synthesis algorithms work on graph representations of logic functions with nodes associated with arbitrary logic expressions or simple logic functions and iteratively optimize such graphs. While recent multilevel logic synthesis efforts focused ...
