Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

User Centered Design (VII): From Automated Flight Deck to Intelligent Flight Deck [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Driven by the "user-centered design" philosophy, this paper first outlines the human factors problems of the flight deck automation for large civil aircraft and the human factors research carried out based on the "human-centered automation" approach. This paper then reviews the previous initial human factors research on intelligent civil flight deck ...

Fatigue‐Resistant Mechanoresponsive Color‐Changing Hydrogels for Vision‐Based Tactile Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanoresponsive color‐changing materials that can reversibly and resiliently change color in response to stress are highly desirable for diverse technologies in optics, sensors, and robots; however, such materials are rarely achieved. This work reports a fatigue‐resistant mechanoresponsive color‐changing hydrogel that exhibits reversible, resilient ...

Non-equilibrium thermodynamical framework for rate- and state-dependent friction [PDF]

open access: yesPeriodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering, 2015, 59/4, 583-589, 2015
Rate- and state-dependent friction law for velocity-step and healing are analysed from a thermodynamic point of view. Assuming a logarithmic deviation from steady-state a unification of the classical Dieterich and Ruina models of rock friction is proposed.

Model-Assisted Labeling via Explainability for Visual Inspection of Civil Infrastructures [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Labeling images for visual segmentation is a time-consuming task which can be costly, particularly in application domains where labels have to be provided by specialized expert annotators, such as civil engineering. In this paper, we propose to use attribution methods to harness the valuable interactions between expert annotators and the data to be ...
