IEEJ Transactions on Power and Energy, 1997 Direct lightning strokes are considered to be a main cause of damage to surge arresters on power distribution lines. Recently, lightning performance of distribution lines has been observed using still cameras, and lightning-caused distribution outages on hilltop areas on the coast of the Sea of Japan have been investigated.

Dissociation energy of the water dimer from Quantum Monte Carlo calculations
, 2007 We report a study of the electronic dissociation energy of the water dimer using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) techniques. We have performed variational quantum Monte Carlo (VMC) and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations of the electronic ground ...

Non-divisibility vs backflow of information in understanding revivals of quantum correlations for continuous-variable systems interacting with fluctuating environments [PDF]
, 2015 We address the dynamics of quantum correlations for a bipartite continuous-variable quantum system interacting with its fluctuating environment. In particular, we consider two independent quantum oscillators initially prepared in a Gaussian state, e.g. a

BLOC: Buildable and Linkable Organ on a Chip
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We developed a “Buildable and Linkable Organ on a Chip” (BLOC) that can construct diverse microphysiological systems (MPSs). The BLOC is standardized to the same size and has one of the functions of “Culture,” “Control,” or “Analysis.” Users can freely configure various MPSs, including developing perfusion, cytotoxicity analysis, and biochemical ...

Electron hydrodynamics dilemma: whirlpools or no whirlpools [PDF]
, 2016 In highly viscous electron systems such as, for example, high quality graphene above liquid nitrogen temperature, a linear response to applied electric current becomes essentially nonlocal, which can give rise to a number of new and counterintuitive ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Water scarcity poses a critical threat to global food security. A low‐power, flexible electromagnetic actuator is presented for smart drip irrigation systems. The device achieves precise, wide‐range flow modulation (0.05–5.8 mL/min) in response to real‐time plant demands, reducing water consumption compared to conventional flood irrigation.

A Soft Robotic Model for Simulating Heart Valve Disease and Cardiac Interventions
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This paper introduces a fully synthetic fabrication methodology for a soft robotic, in‐vitro model of the left‐heart, complete with a functioning mitral valve apparatus. With a view towards patient‐specific modeling, we demonstrate physiological flow and pressure waveforms, tunable mitral valve function with clinical imaging compatibility, and its use ...
