Influence of band structure effects on domain-wall resistance in diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors

, 2006
Intrinsic domain-wall resistance (DWR) in (Ga,Mn)As is studied theoretically and compared to experimental results. The recently developed model of spin transport in diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors [Van Dorpe et al., Phys. Rev.

Multiscale Microscopy via Automation: Dual Magnification Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy Imaging by Frame Alternation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An automation interface for environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) enables simultaneous, interlaced data sets via frame‐by‐frame parameter changes. Demonstrated on oscillatory hydrogen oxidation over cobalt (Co) foil, dual‐magnification imaging bridges mesoscopic to microscopic length scales, capturing alternating views of surface dynamics ...

Orbital character of O 2p unoccupied states near the Fermi level in CrO2

, 2000
The orbital character, orientation, and magnetic polarization of the O 2$p$ unoccupied states near the Fermi level ($E_F$) in CrO$_2$ was determined using polarization-dependent X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism ...

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Behavioral innovations in the management of obesity and overweight using the COM-B model

European Journal of Public Health, 2022
Abstract Background Increasing overweight and obesity rates represent one of the global health challenges in the 21st century. Obesity is a gateway to many non-communicable diseases and shorter life expectancy. Understanding individual capability, opportunity, and motivation for health behavior change

Stable Imitation of Multigait and Bipedal Motions for Quadrupedal Robots Over Uneven Terrains

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
How are quadrupedal robots empowered to execute complex navigation tasks, including multigait and bipedal motions? Challenges in stability and real‐world adaptation persist, especially with uneven terrains and disturbances. This article presents an imitation learning framework that enhances adaptability and robustness by incorporating long short‐term ...

Using the COM-B model of behaviour to understand sitting behaviour in UK office workers [PDF]

Sport & Exercise Psychology Review, 2018
Prolonged sedentary behaviour has established health risks; however many individuals spend long periods of time sitting at work. Qualitative researchers suggest that inconsistent effectiveness of interventions may be linked to an incomplete understanding of the nature of and factors influencing sedentary behaviour in the workplace.
