Curvature-Adjustable Polymeric Nanolens Fabrication Using UV-Controlled Nanoimprint Lithography

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
Nanolenses are gaining importance in nanotechnology, but their challenging fabrication is thwarting their wider adoption. Of particular challenge is facile control of the lens’ curvature.

All metrics have curvature tensors characterised by its invariants as a limit: the \epsilon-property [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We prove a generalisation of the $\epsilon$-property, namely that for any dimension and signature, a metric which is not characterised by its polynomial scalar curvature invariants, there is a frame such that the components of the curvature tensors can ...

Linear Tool Path-Smoothing Method in High-Speed Machining Based on Error Feasible Area and Curvature Optimization

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Linear tool path is widely used in high-speed NC machining. However, the geometrical discontinuity of the corner between the linear tool paths will lead to fluctuations in speed, acceleration and jerk, which can excite machinery vibration and reduce the ...

Geometric Mean Curvature Lines on Surfaces Immersed in R3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Here are studied pairs of transversal foliations with singularities, defined on the Elliptic region (where the Gaussian curvature $\mathcal K$ is positive) of an oriented surface immersed in $\mathbb R^3$.

A Hybrid Method for Vibration-Based Bridge Damage Detection

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Damage detection algorithms employing the conventional acceleration measurements and the associated modal features may underperform due to the limited number of sensors used in the monitoring and the smoothing effect of spline functions used to increase ...

TOTAL SCALAR CURVATURE AND HARMONIC CURVATURE

open access: yesTaiwanese Journal of Mathematics, 2014
On a compact n-dimensional manifold, it has been conjectured that a critical point metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of unit volume, will be Einstein. This conjecture was proposed in 1984 by Besse, but has yet to be proved.

A note on sub-Riemannian structures associated with complex Hopf fibrations

open access: yes, 2012
Sub-Riemannian structures on odd-dimensional spheres respecting the Hopf fibration naturally appear in quantum mechanics. We study the curvature maps for such a sub-Riemannian structure and express them using the Riemannian curvature tensor of the Fubini-

Requirement of Cholesterol for Calcium‐Dependent Vesicle Fusion by Strengthening Synaptotagmin‐1‐Induced Membrane Bending

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2023
Cholesterol is essential for neuronal activity and function. Cholesterol depletion in the plasma membrane impairs synaptic transmission. However, the molecular mechanisms by which cholesterol deficiency leads to defects in vesicle fusion remain poorly ...

Recent Concepts for Supramolecular 2D Materials

open access: yesOrganic Materials, 2022
Bottom-up approaches are one strategy geared towards designing novel two-dimensional materials. Supramolecular polymerization has proven to be an effective way of obtaining these architectures due to the increasing control and tunability offered by ...
