All mechanical systems, naturally occurring or human-produced, are subjected to friction and wear at the interface of solid constituents. Large portions of energy dissipation and loss of material, in every-day life and industrial applications alike, are du ...
Our understanding of the rise of intellectual property has been highly influenced by the tools and concepts of economic history and the lens of the Industrial Revolution. Looking at the case of France, this article examines the cultural and ideological ori ...
Microfluidics and microtechnologies are of great interest for biological applications. This interest is linked to the fact that microtechnologies enable the study of single cells at the cellular and sub-cellular level. One of many applications of such sing ...
Layer-by-layer manufacturing of composite mechanisms allows fast and cost-effective fabrication of customized robots in millimeter and centimeter scales which is promising for research fields that rely on frequent and numerous physical iterations. Due to t ...
For a set X of integer points in a polyhedron, the smallest number of facets of any polyhedron whose set of integer points coincides with X is called the relaxation complexity rc(X). This parameter was introduced by Kaibel & Weltge (2015) and captures the ...
The fabrication challenges and application opportunities associated with the integration of novel materials at the micro- and nano-scale and prescribed positions within rigid and soft optical fibers will be presented. (C) 2020 The Author(s) ...
Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) applications require accurate analysis of extremely complex mixtures of species in a wide mass and charge state ranges. To optimize the related FTMS data analysis accuracy, parameters for data acquisition and the ...
The shoulder is the joint with the largest range of motion in the human body. It is composed of three articulations, the glenohumeral articulation providing about two thirds of its mobility which is, also the most complex and fragile of the three. For this ...
CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research located in Geneva, Switzerland. Its main goal is to explore fundamental physics and it exists primarily to provide physicists the necessary tools for doing this, namely accelerators. These tools bring ...
Surface sediments can accumulate contaminants that affect microorganisms and invertebrates and disturb benthic ecological functions. However, effects of contaminants on ecological functions supported by sediment communities are understudied. Here, we teste ...
