Versatile Rigid‐Flexible Coupling Modules: Enhancing Soft Origami Structures with Cable‐Driven Parallel Mechanisms

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a rigid‐flexible coupling building block by combining rigid parallel structures with soft origami structures. Through theoretical and experimental analysis, geometric parameters are optimized to achieve kinematic synergy between the two structures.

Aging Behavior of PEEK, PTFE, and PI Insulation Materials Under Thermal Oxidative and Humid Conditions for Aerospace Applications

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the aging behavior of aerospace‐grade polymers PEEK, PTFE, and PI under thermal oxidative and humid conditions. Findings highlight structural, thermal, mechanical, and dielectric changes, including surface roughening, void formation, and altered crystallinity.

How companies use typeface design to engage consumers in charitable activities

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 107-123, January 2023., 2023
Abstract This research examines how the typeface design in a charitable appeal affects consumers' evaluations of the ad and, in turn, their willingness to engage in the advertised charitable activities. We propose that the typeface's simulation of a handwritten note creates a sense of connectedness to the information sender (e.g., organization, brand),

On the Outage Analysis and Finite SNR Diversity-Multiplexing Tradeoff of Hybrid-Duplex Systems for Aeronautical Communications [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
A hybrid-duplex aeronautical communication system (HBD-ACS) consisting of a full-duplex (FD) enabled ground station (GS), and two half-duplex (HD) air-stations (ASs) is proposed as a direct solution to the spectrum crunch faced by the aviation industry.

Minimum-Delay Routing for Integrated Aeronautical Ad Hoc Networks Relying on Passenger-Planes in the North-Atlantic Region [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Relying on multi-hop communication techniques, aeronautical ad hoc networks (AANETs) seamlessly integrate ground base stations (BSs) and satellites into aircraft communications for enhancing the on-demand connectivity of planes in the air. In this integrated AANET context we investigate the shortest-path routing problem with the objective of minimizing

Associations of Fire Smoke and Other Pollutants With Incident Rheumatoid Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether pollutants such as fire smoke–related particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) are associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and RA‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD). Methods This patient–control study used Veterans Affairs (VA) data from October 1, 2009, to December 31, 2018.

Structure–Property Relationships of Shape Memory, Semicrystalline Polymers Fabricated by In Situ Polymerization and Crosslinking of Octadecyl Acrylate/Polybutadiene Blends

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 44, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
The development of a semicrystalline, shape memory polymer is synthesized by simultaneous free radical polymerization and crosslinking in a blend of polybutadiene and octadecyl acrylate, enabling the melt fabrication of complex 3D molded shapes with potential use in anticounterfeiting and antitampering applications.

Statistical methods for critical scenarios in aeronautics

open access: yesESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2015
We present numerical results obtained on the CEMRACS project Predictive SMS proposed by Safety Line. The goal of this work was to elaborate a purely statistical method in order to reconstruct the deceleration profile of a plane during

Nonexistence of time reversibility in statistical physics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2005
Contrary to the customary thought prevailing for long, the time reversibility associated with beam-to-beam collisions does not really exist. Related facts and consequences are presented. The discussion, though involving simple mathematics and physics only, is well-related to the foundation of statistical theory.
