Disentangling Contact Location for Stretchable Tactile Sensors from Soft Waveguide Ultrasonic Scatter Signals

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a novel data‐driven approach for force contact location sensing (FCLS), based on scatter signals of the ultrasonic waveguide, with the influence of sensor strain and forces. The experimental results indicate that the accuracy of the proposed FCLS method has an mean absolute error loss of 0.627 mm and a mean relative error loss of ...

Electropneumatic Oscillators Using Nonlinear Inflatables

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In animals, self‐oscillations are essential to coordinate locomotion and other bodily functions. By combining hysteretic membranes with a resistive strain sensor, an electropneumatic self‐oscillator with an oscillation frequency that directly depends upon geometric parameters in the fluidic domain is introduced.

How to Nurture Scientific Discoveries Despite Their Unpredictable Nature [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
The history of science reveals that major discoveries are not predictable. Naively, one might conclude therefore that it is not possible to artificially cultivate an environment that promotes discoveries. I suggest instead that open research without a programmatic agenda establishes a fertile ground for unexpected breakthroughs.

Sustainability‐Inspired Upcycling of Organophosphorus Pollutants into Phosphatic Fertilizer in a Continuous‐Flow Reactor

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
First report of organophosphorus pollutants selective degradation, via the synergistic effect of peroxymonosulfate and sodium percarbonate, into phosphates that are continually converted into phosphatic fertilizer by struvite precipitation on a continuous‐flow reactor. Abstract With the increasing requirement for phosphorus resources and their shortage

Inconsistency of Carnot's theorem's proof by William Thomson [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
William Thomson proved Carnot's theorem basing on postulate: "It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency, to derive mechanical effect from any portion of matter by cooling it below the temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects".

Innovating to amplify the voices of young people from marginalized ethnic migrant backgrounds

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The meaningful participation of young people from marginalized ethnic backgrounds in civic processes is central to the social cohesion of increasingly diverse liberal democracies, but their participation is compromised by a range of barriers resulting in decision‐making that is disconnected from their lives.

Metaphysics or Metaphors for the Anthropocene? Scientific Naturalism and the Agency of Things

open access: yesOpen Philosophy, 2018
In this paper, I provide the outlines of an alternative metaphilosophical orientation for Continental philosophy, namely, a form of scientific naturalism that has proximate roots in the work of Bachelard and Althusser.
