Predicting Atomic Charges in MOFs by Topological Charge Equilibration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An atomic charge prediction method is presented that is able to accurately reproduce ab‐initio‐derived reference charges for a large number of metal–organic frameworks. Based on a topological charge equilibration scheme, static charges that fulfill overall neutrality are quickly generated.

On the internal energy of the classical two-dimensional one-component-plasma

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2015
We describe a new semi-phenomenological approach to estimate the internal energy of the classical one-component-plasma in two dimensions. This approach reproduces the Debye-Hückel asymptote in the limit of weak coupling, the ion disc asymptote in the ...

Topology Optimization of Constrained Layer Damping on Plates Using Method of Moving Asymptote (MMA) Approach

open access: yes, 2011
Damping treatments have been extensively used as a powerful means to damp out structural resonant vibrations. Usually, damping materials are fully covered on the surface of plates.

Evaluating the status of African wild dogs Lycaon pictus and cheetahs Acinonyx jubatus through tourist-based photographic surveys in the Kruger National Park [corrected]. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The Kruger National Park is a stronghold for African wild dog Lycaon pictus and cheetah Acinonyx jubatus conservation in South Africa. Tourist photographic surveys have been used to evaluate the minimum number of wild dogs and cheetahs alive over the ...

Digital Actuation Control of Soft Robotic Origami With Self‐Folding Liquid Crystal Elastomer Hinges

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐folding soft‐rigid hybrid robotic origami is enabled by liquid crystal elastomer actuators with embedded Joule heating and closed‐loop digital control. Digitally addressable hinges provide reversible and programmable transitions between distinct folded states while maintaining actuation performance at high cycle counts (over 1500).

On the Delayed Scaled Consensus Problems

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2017
In this note, we study the scaled consensus (tracking) problems, wherein all agents reach agreement, but with different assigned ratios in the asymptote.

Full Analysis of Lung Cancer Mortality/Radon Relationship with Simple Nonlinear Concepts

open access: yesDose-Response, 2021
We analyze the relationship between the lung cancer mortality and the indoor radon intensity from the viewpoint of nonlinear mathematics. We conclude that their relationship is governed by the proportionality law where the cumulative lung cancer ...

Remark on Transitivity for piecewise increassing maps on R

open access: yesSelecciones Matemáticas, 2022
In this work a sufficient condition is shown to obtain transitivity in families of piecewise increassing maps with an inevitable discontinuity in x=0. Specifically, it is shown that the characteristics of a large class of transformations of the real line

Dual‐Programmable Architected Magnetic Soft Materials: Tuning Mechano–Electric Responses by Inverse Design

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Materials that can deform, sense, and autonomously generate power in response to wireless magnetic fields, through both magnetic‐actuated shape transformation and charge generation, are an emerging focus in advanced functional materials research.

Examining mathematical discourse to understand in-service teachers’ mathematical activities

open access: yesPythagoras, 2013
In this article I use Sfard’s theory of commognition to examine the surprising activities of a pair of in-service mathematics teachers in South Africa as they engaged in a particular mathematical task which allowed for, but did not prescribe, the use ...
