3D printed large amplitude torsional microactuators powered by ultrasound

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Mehdi Ali Gadiri, Junsun Hwang, Amit Yedidia Dolev

Here, we introduce a design, fabrication, and control methodology for large amplitude torsional microactuators powered by ultrasound. The microactuators are 3D printed from two polymers with drastically different elastic moduli as a monolithic compliant me ...

TDCOSMO I. An exploration of systematic uncertainties in the inference ofH(0)from time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin

Strong-lensing time delays enable the measurement of the Hubble constant (H0) independently of other traditional methods. The main limitation to the precision of time-delay cosmography is mass-sheet degeneracy (MSD). Some of the previous TDCOSMO analyses b ...

Comparing the Buckling Strength of Spherical Shells With Dimpled Versus Bumpy Defects

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Fani Derveni, Arefeh Abbasi

We investigate the effect of defect geometry in dictating the sensitivity of the critical buckling conditions of spherical shells under external pressure loading. Specifically, we perform a comparative study between shells containing dimpled (inward) versu ...

Probing gravity with the DES-CMASS sample and BOSS spectroscopy

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

The DES-CMASS sample (DMASS) is designed to optimally combine the weak lensing measurements from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and redshift-space distortions (RSD) probed by the CMASS galaxy sample from the Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. In this ...

Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Cosmological implications from two decades of spectroscopic surveys at the Apache Point Observatory

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Andrei Variu, Zheng Zheng, Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Johan Comparat, Amélie Tamone, Yuting Wang

We present the cosmological implications from final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and Ly alpha forests from the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) lineage of experiments in large-scale structure. These experiments, composed of ...

Euclid: The reduced shear approximation and magnification bias for Stage IV cosmic shear experiments

Georges Meylan, Jean-Luc Starck, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

Context. Stage IV weak lensing experiments will offer more than an order of magnitude leap in precision. We must therefore ensure that our analyses remain accurate in this new era. Accordingly, previously ignored systematic effects must be addressed.Aims. ...

Are Photonic Nanojets Achromatic?

Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Michail Symeonidis

In this work we study the evolution of the photonic nanojet (PNJ) phenomenon as the ratio of the sphere's diameter over the illumination wavelength changes, for microspheres with diameters from 2 mu m to 100 mu m. We measure the focal point position by usi ...

Using a Virtual Lidar Approach to Assess the Accuracy of the Volumetric Reconstruction of a Wind Turbine Wake

Fernando Porté Agel, Fernando Carbajo Fuertes

Scanning Doppler lidars are the best tools for acquiring 3D velocity fields of full scale wind turbine wakes, whether the objective is a better understanding of some features of the wake or the validation of wake models. Since these lidars are based on the ...

A co-rotational scroll machine

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Luis Carlos Mendoza Toledo

A co-rotating scroll machine operable as compressor or expander, comprises a transmission and guidance mechanism (9,10) for first and second scroll plates (7,8), having three transmission and guidance units (9,10) uniformly distributed around the scroll pl ...

Bacterial adhesion and inactivation on Ag decorated TiO2-nanotubes under visible light: Effect of the nanotubes geometry on the photocatalytic activity

Sami Rtimi

This study investigates the effect of the diameter of TiO2 nanotubes and silver decorated nanotubes on optical properties and photocatalytic inactivation of Escherichia coli under visible light. The TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2 -NTs) were prepared using the electr ...
