Classical spin liquids have been a very active subject of research in the last few years. A very rich variety of cases have been shown to exist, including short-range and algebraic spin liquids displaying dipolar correla...

Abstract Chronic wounds represent a longstanding clinical problem due to impaired angiogenesis due to insufficient activation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). In this investigation, we used comp...

The dipole-dominated magnetic fields of Jupiter and Saturn provide evidence for active dynamos operating within their deep interiors, yet the depth of the convecting dynamo layers remains poorly constrained. While magnet...

Nonlinear response conception in rotating machinery, particularly in systems with squeeze film dampers (SFDs), pose significant challenges for established time-domain numerical methods due to bifurcations and critical po...

Recent years have seen many arguments for cosmic rays (CRs) as an important influence on galactic and circumgalactic (CGM) physics, star and galaxy formation. We present a pedagogical overview of state-of-the-art modelin...

Abstract The paper proposes a novel multi-legged robot with pitch adjustive units aiming at obstacle surmounting. With only 6 degrees of freedom, the robot with 16 mechanical legs walks steadily and surmounts the obstacl...

Pump-jet propulsors are widely used in marine applications because of their advantages in propulsive efficiency, cavitation performance, and low noise performance. However, the lack of a standard series database still li...

We present a systematic investigation of the optical response to circularly polarized illumination in twisted stacked plasmonic nanostructures. The system consists in two identical, parallel gold triskelia, centrally ali...

Access to surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) with directional control excited by electrical means is important for applications in (on-chip) nano-optoelectronic devices and to circumvent limitations inherent to approaches...

IntroductionLiver diseases continue to impose a major global health burden, and therapeutic progress is constrained by the limited availability of validated small-molecule modulators. TEAD4, a central Hippo-YAP effector,...

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is an attractive thermal-control material exhibiting low thermal hysteresis and excellent temperature cycling performance. However, the deficiencies including weak spectral shift and narrow-band ab...

Current shampoo bottles are oversized, using more plastic than necessary. In order to promote plastic minimization, the aim of this work is to determine how much it is possible to reduce the thickness of current shampoo ...

Gradient-based optimization offers significant efficiency advantages for wind turbine blade design, but its application has often been limited by the cost and accuracy of finite-difference derivative calculations, especi...

Abstract This paper presents an evaluation of multicarrier channel sounding techniques using different random and pseudo-random sequences to modulate the OFDM sounding signal. The Random (Rand), Pseudo-Noise (PN) and Zad...

This work presents the workflow and supporting tools used to realize a 500 kW, ±10 kVdc MMC-based laboratory supply. Control Real-Time Hardware-in-the-Loop (RT-CHIL) simulations have played a key role in its devel...

Atomistic simulations are often used to explore the mechanical and chemical properties of a variety of materials and structures, such as nanowires, whiskers, nanospheres, nanotrusses, and nanoscale foams, among others. P...

The free surface resolution in current load calculations increases costs significantly when using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), even though the small Froude number of a dynamic positioning (DP) vessel suggests mini...

Abstract Predictive atomistic simulations have propelled materials discovery, yet routine setup and debugging still demand computer specialists. This know-how gap limits the use of Integrated Computational Materials Engi...

Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a widespread environmental pollutant, has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic degenerative diseases. Environmental pollutants have recently been recognized as emerging risk f...

Sailing yachts can achieve operationally zero-emission propulsion by integrating solar photovoltaic (PV), wind and hydrokinetic generation with battery-electric drive systems. This study applies a systems engineering mod...

Abstract This paper reports detailed propagation analyses of mm-wave indoor networks based numerical simulations of the wireless coverage and measurements of the propagation coefficient at 28 and 38 GHz. Additionally, ma...

Abstract Non-contact actuated microbeads have attracted a lot of attention in recent years because of its enormous potential in medical, biological, and industrial applications. Researchers have proposed a multitude of e...

This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to systematically investigate the effects of the degree of polymerization (DP 10, 20, and 35) on the mechanical and tribological properties of nitrile butadiene rubb...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH). Large-pore MOFs provide high water capacity, but their significant hysteresis between sorption and desorption ...
