Micro-Electro-Mechanical Switch Based on Suspended Horizontal Dense Mat of CNTs by FIB Nanomanipulation

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Arnaud Magrez, Daniel Grogg, Rita Smajda, Anupama Arun, Donatello Acquaviva

The paper presents the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) alignment and length dependence with respect to the catalyst pattern design, the fabrication of a CNT MEM switch, nanomanipulating a CNT array by FIB and the electrical characterization of the device to evalua ...

Nonlinear Stability of Riemann Ellipsoids with Symmetric Configurations

Using modern differential geometric methods, we study the relative equilibria for Dirichlet's model of a self-gravitating fluid mass having at least two equal axes. We show that the only relative equilibria of this type correspond to Riemann ellipsoids for ...

Calibration from statistical properties of the visual world

What does a blind entity need in order to determine the geometry of the set of photocells that it carries through a changing lightfield? In this paper, we show that very crude knowledge of some statistical properties of the environment is sufficient for th ...

Finite element analysis of strain distribution in a bone scaffold used with revision knee prosthesis

Line Aschwanden

The goal of this study is to analyze mechanical behavior of a new scaffold composed of PLA/bTCP in revision knee arhtroplasty (RKA). For this purpose, finite element models of RKA was developed to study the importance of the geometry of bones, the fixation ...

An algorithm for the recovery of disrupted airline schedules

Michel Bierlaire, Matteo Salani, Niklaus Eggenberg

We consider the recovery of an airline schedule after an unpredicted event, commonly called disruption, that makes the planned schedule unfeasible. In particular we consider the aircraft recovery problem for a heterogeneous fleet of aircrafts, made of regu ...

Temperature-Dependent Elasticity of Microtubules

László Forró, Andras Kis, Andrzej Kulik, Sandor Kasas

Central to the biological function of microtubules. is their ability to modify their length which occurs by addition and removal of subunits at the ends of the polymer, both in vivo and in vitro. This dynamic behavior is strongly influenced by temperature. ...

Constraint-Level Advice for Shaving

Radoslaw Szymanek

This work concentrates on improving the robustness of constraint solvers by increasing the propagation strength of constraint models in a declarative and automatic manner. Our objective is to efficiently identify and remove shavable values during search. A ...

Magnetic fields in massive stars

Pierre North

We review the recent discoveries of magnetic fields in different types of massive stars and briefly discuss strategies for spectropolarimetric observations to be carried out in the future. ...

Tearing as a test for mechanical characterization of thin adhesive films

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Thin adhesive films have become increasingly important in applications involving packaging, coating or for advertising. Once a film is adhered to a substrate, flaps can be detached by tearing and peeling, but they narrow and collapse in pointy shapes. Simi ...
