MCDM based evaluation and ranking of commercial off-the-shelf using fuzzy based matrix method [PDF]

Decision Science Letters, 2017
In today’s scenario, software has become an essential component in all kinds of systems. The size and the complexity of the software increases with a corresponding increase in its functionality, hence leads to the development of the modular software ...

Conformal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: A Cylindrical Geometry Perspective

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Cylindrical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces are explored for low‐complexity beam steering using one‐bit meta‐atoms. A multi‐level modeling approach, including optimization‐based synthesis, demonstrates that even minimal hardware can support directive scattering.

Establishing functionally important predators on crown-of-throwns starfish (Acanthaster spp.)

Ideas in Ecology and Evolution
Population irruptions of crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS; Acanthaster spp.) are one of the foremost causes of coral loss and reef degradation throughout the Indo west-Pacific.

An Investigation into the Genetic History of Japanese Populations of Three Starfish, Acanthaster planci, Linckia laevigata, and Asterias amurensis, Based on Complete Mitochondrial DNA Sequences

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci (COTS), are common in coral reefs of Indo-Pacific Ocean. Since they are highly fecund predators of corals, periodic outbreaks of COTS cause substantial loss of healthy coral reefs. Using complete mitochondrial

Updatable Closed‐Form Evaluation of Arbitrarily Complex Multiport Network Connections

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The inverse design of electrically large wave devices often uses reduced‐order multiport models with discrete optimization, requiring many evaluations of complex interconnections between subsystems that differ only in a few blocks. This paper introduces a closed‐form framework enabling efficient Woodbury low‐rank updates of related, previous ...

Digital Twins for the Design, Interactive Control, and Deployment of Modular, Fiber‐Reinforced Soft Continuum Arms

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A digital twin framework is presented for modular soft continuum arms built from fiber‐reinforced pneumatic actuators. Cosserat rod models describe individual actuators, while virtual assemblies are formed through serial and parallel networks, preserving actuator‐level architecture and arm deformation.

Reconfigurable Design and Optimization‐Based Control of an Integrated Leg‐Arm Robot for Space Applications With an Underactuated Body

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A quadrupedal integrated leg‐arm robot with an underactuated reconfigurable body is developed. By using a Sarrus mechanism as the body, the robot enables reconfiguration through its supporting limbs, achieving mode switching without additional actuators.

Protecting Great Barrier Reef resilience through effective management of crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks.

PLoS ONE
Resilience-based management is essential to protect ecosystems in the Anthropocene. Unlike large-scale climate threats to Great Barrier Reef (GBR) corals, outbreaks of coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster cf.

A Generalizable Framework for Building Executable Domain‐Specific Large Language Models Under Data Scarcity: Demonstration on Semiconductor Technology Computer‐Aided Design Simulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A schema‐first alignment framework builds compact, executable domain‐specific language models under data scarcity. Large‐scale synthetic question‐answer generation instills domain knowledge, and a code‐centric IR‐to‐DPO pipeline aligns generation with tool‐executable syntax.

Quantum‐Mechanical Wave Functions in Singular Potentials: Linear and Nonlinear States

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
The attractive singular potential −1/r2$-1/r^2$ gives rise to the quantum collapse in the 3D linear Schroedinger equation. The article summarizes theoretical results demonstrating suppression of the collapse and creation of the missing ground state (GS) in a gas of bosonic particles, carrying an electric dipole moment, which are pulled to the central ...
