New chorus wave properties near the equator from Van Allen Probes wave observations
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 The chorus wave properties are evaluated using Van Allen Probes data in the Earth's equatorial magnetosphere. Two distinct modes of lower band chorus are identified: a quasi‐parallel mode and a quasi‐electrostatic mode, whose wave normal direction is ...

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.

Glowing seashells: diversity of fossilized coloration patterns on coral reef-associated cone snail (Gastropoda: Conidae) shells from the Neogene of the Dominican Republic. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The biology of modern Conidae (cone snails)--which includes the hyperdiverse genus Conus--has been intensively studied, but the fossil record of the clade remains poorly understood, particularly within an evolutionary framework.

Wind Resistance Analysis of Plate-cone Reticulated Shell [PDF]
Advances in Engineering Research, 2014 Plate-cone reticulated shell is a new type of space steel structure with good mechanical behaviour and technical economy. In this paper, the wind-induced vibration response characteristics of plate-cone reticulated shell are studied. By using the wave superposition method, the fluctuation wind loads are simulated.
