Additives: Their Influence on the Humidity- and Pressure-Induced Crystallization of Amorphous CaCO3

Esther Amstad, Camelia Borca, Huachuan Du, Mathias Steinacher, Alan Böhlen, Clémence Courrégelongue

Nature possesses a unique control over the formation of CaCO3 crystals that imparts fascinating mechanical properties to many CaCO3-based biomaterials. This high level of control is, at least in part, achieved through the use of certain soluble additives t ...

Atomic scale symmetry and polar nanoclusters in the paraelectric phase of ferroelectric materials

Dragan Damjanovic, Emad Oveisi, Sina Hashemi Zadeh, Takuya Hoshina

The nature of the "forbidden" local- and long-range polar order in nominally nonpolar paraelectric phases of ferroelectric materials has been an open question since the discovery of ferroelectricity in oxide perovskites (ABO3). A currently considered model ...

Fuzzy Control System for Autonomous Navigation and Parking of Thymio II Mobile Robots

Francesco Mondada

This paper proposed a fuzzy controller for the autonomous navigation problem of robotic systems in a dynamic and uncertain environment. In particular, we are interested in determining the robot motion to reach the target while ensuring their own safety and ...

Exploring the Nature of "Trader Intuition"

Experimental evidence has consistently confirmed the ability of uninformed traders, even novices, to infer information from the trading process. After contrasting brain activation in subjects watching markets with and without insiders, we hypothesize that ...

Fuzzy Trust Aggregation And Personalized Trust Inference In Virtual Social Networks

Mohsen Lesani

Virtual marketplaces on the Web provide people with great facilities to buy and sell goods similar to conventional markets. In traditional business, reputation is subjectively built for known persons and companies as the deals are made in the course of tim ...

Fractional Collections with Cardinality Bounds, and Mixed Integer Linear Arithmetic with Stars

Viktor Kuncak, Ruzica Piskac

We present decision procedures for logical constraints that support reasoning about collections of elements such as sets, multisets, and fuzzy sets. Element membership in such collections is given by a characteristic function from a finite universe (of unk ...
