Asymmetric effects of cooler and warmer winters on beech phenology last beyond spring

Alexandre Buttler, Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Yann Vitasse, Constant Signarbieux, María Paula Sanginés De Cárcer, Ester Toledano Díaz

In temperate trees, the timings of plant growth onset and cessation affect biogeochemical cycles, water, and energy balance. Currently, phenological studies largely focus on specific phenophases and on their responses to warming. How differently spring phe ...

Experimental Investigation of Steel Braces Installed with Intentional Eccentricity Using Gusset Plate Connections

Hiroyuki Inamasu

The present paper proposes an improved design of conventional buckling braces (CBBs) by introducing intentional eccentricity along the brace length. The proposed brace is named the Brace with Intentional Eccentricity (BIE). Due to the inherent action momen ...

Shape of a Stretched Polymer

Paolo De Los Rios, Salvatore Assenza, Alberto Stefano Sassi

The shape of a polymer plays an important role in its interactions with surrounding molecules. We characterize the shape and the orientational properties of a polymer chain under tension in a good solvent, a physical condition that is often realized both i ...

Gravity insensitive flexure pivots for watch oscillators

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Lennart Rubbert, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan

Classical pivots have frictional losses leading to the limited quality factor of oscillators used as time bases in mechanical watches. Flexure pivots address these issues by greatly reducing friction. However, they have drawbacks such as gravity sensitivit ...

Series Elastic Actuation for Assistive Orthotic Devices: Case Study of Pneumatic Actuator

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jonathan Olivier, Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Wearable assistive robotics is a modern field where intelligent actuated systems work in collaboration with the body to replace a lost limb, to enhance performances (e.g. carrying load, walking, running, jumping) or to train or rehabilitate specific activi ...

Structure of the T4 baseplate and its function in triggering sheath contraction

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Petr Leiman, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, Christopher Browning, Nikolai Prokhorov

Several systems, including contractile tail bacteriophages, the type VI secretion system and R-type pyocins, use a multiprotein tubular apparatus to attach to and penetrate host cell membranes. This macromolecular machine resembles a stretched, coiled spri ...

Modeling, Characterization and Control of a Novel Torsional Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Actuator

Jamie Paik, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Jian-Lin Huang

Thermally activated shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators are direct-driven and produce high power density with design versatility. However, beyond their linear actuation in spring forms there is little variety and their application in robotics is limited by ...

Harnessing the damping properties of materials for high-speed atomic force microscopy

Jürgen Brugger, Georg Fantner, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Blake William Erickson, Jonathan David Adams, Jonas Grossenbacher

The success of high-speed atomic force microscopy in imaging molecular motors1, enzymes2 and microbes3 in liquid environments suggests that the technique could be of significant value in a variety of areas of nanotechnology. However, the majority of atomic ...
