Identifying the origin of local flexibility in a carbohydrate polymer

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Sabine Abb

Correlating the structures and properties of a polymer to its monomer sequence is key to understanding how its higher hierarchy structures are formed and how its macroscopic material properties emerge. Carbohydrate polymers, such as cellulose and chitin, a ...

Antennas for CubeSat Communication

Miroslav Veljovic

CubeSats are a type of small satellites (< 500 kg) that weigh several kilograms and consist of multiple Units (U) measuring 100 × 100 × 113.5 mm3. CubeSats emerged as a low-cost alternative to conventional large satellites, and have since demonstrated capa ...

Increased brain glucocorticoid actions following social defeat in rats facilitates the long-term establishment of social subordination

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Meltem Weger

Social rank is frequently established through aggressive encounters between new conspecifics. Despite increasing evidence suggesting that social rank is critical for the well-being of both humans and animals, knowledge about the factors influencing social ...

Reliability and Adaptive Assistance in Brain-Computer Interfaces

Sareh Saeedi

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) aim at offering an interaction modality for people with severe motor disabilities. Despite promising advances, BCIs are still confronted with multiple challenges in determining user's intentions reliably, mainly due to high ...

Towards biomimetic behavior of an active deployable tensegrity structure

Nicolas Willy Veuve

Tensegrity structures have non-conventional structural properties since they require self-stress in order to be stable. When a tensegrity structure integrates sensors, actuators, (structural members able to change their length) and a control system, deploy ...

Robotic Origamis: Self-morphing Modular Robot

Jamie Paik

Programmable matter is a material that produces distinctive shapes or patterns according to a given command. Often they are composed of interconnected modular elements that are able to make or break the connections or alter relative orientation. We pre ...

Neurobiological Mechanisms Involved in the Establishment and Maintenance of Dominance Hierarchies and its Modulation by Stress in Rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Marjan Timmer

Stress can have a strong and long lasting effect on the establishment and maintenance of dominance hierarchies in rats. When two rats of a pair have not been stressed (non-stressed pair) before a first social encounter, they establish a dominance hierarchy ...

Overactuated systems coordination

Yvan Michellod

The economic growth inherent to our nowadays society pushes the industries toward better performances. In the mechatronic context, the increasing competition results in more and more stringent specifications. Thus, the multiple objectives to track become h ...

Exploration of an Incremental Suite of Microscopic Models for Acoustic Event Monitoring Using a Robotic Sensor Network

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh, Christopher Cianci

Simulation is frequently used in the study of multi-agent systems. Unfortunately, in many cases, it is not necessarily clear how faithfully the details of the simulated model represent the behavior of the physical system. Often, the effects of the environm ...

Adaptive civil engineering structures

Bernard Adam

Most civil structures are passive and static. They are designed according to serviceability and safety requirements. When subjected to actions, they generally deflect in a passive manner. For example, they do not adapt actively to external loading. A more ...
