Multilayer Self‐Limiting Electrospray Deposition via Stepped Voltage Bias

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐limiting electrospray deposition (SLED) uses a high voltage to generate and deposit a charged payload on a target surface. The coating retains its charge, repelling newly arriving material. SLED thickness can be decreased by applying a secondary bias to the target.

Stability and Adaptability of Passive Creeping of a Snake-like Robot

, 2010
The control of a snake-like robot is a challenging problem because of the complex dynamics and the unknown environment. We have proposed an energy-based method, called passive creeping, to control the serpentine locomotion.

Prediction of Hevea progeny performance in the presence of genotype-environment interaction

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009
Twenty two open-pollinated Hevea progenies from different parental clones of the Asian origin were tested at five sites in the Northwestern São Paulo State Brazil to investigate the progeny girth growth, rubber yield, bark thickness and plant height ...

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

Architecture‐Driven Sensor Stability in Weft‐Knitted Engineering Textiles

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Textile‐integrated sensor architectures are systematically compared to evaluate their electromechanical behavior under combined mechanical and environmental loading. Pocket‐based integration exhibits stable and reproducible signals, whereas tunnel‐based routing shows higher sensitivity accompanied by increased variability.

How Adaptive Is an Adaptive Test: Are All Adaptive Tests Adaptive?

Journal of Computerized Adaptive Testing, 2019
The primary distinguishing feature of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is that sets of items that are administered to examinees are specifically selected for each examinee during the test process. This implies that examinees who respond differently to items on a test will get different sets of test items.
