Cloaking by coating: How effectively does a thin, stiff coating hide a soft substrate?

, 2020
From human tissue to fruits, many soft materials are coated by a thin layer of a stiffer material. While the primary role of such a coating is often to protect the softer material, the thin, stiff coating also has an important effect on the mechanical ...

Addressing potential sources of variation in several non-destructive techniques for measuring firmness in apples [PDF]

, 2009
Measurements of firmness have traditionally been carried out according to the Magness Taylor (MT) procedure; using a texture analyser or penetrometer in reference texture tests.

Construction and Scaling of a Combined Spectral Index-Based Maturity Estimation Model for Cold-Region Japonica Rice

Agronomy
Precise timing of rice harvesting is critical for ensuring grain yield and quality. Traditional manual evaluation methods are highly subjective and time-consuming, highlighting the critical demand for rapid, non-destructive approaches to estimate rice ...

Forecasting strong aftershocks in earthquake clusters from northeastern Italy and western Slovenia

, 2020
In this study, we propose an analysis of the earthquake clusters that occurred in North-Eastern Italy and western Slovenia from 1977 to today. Given a mainshock generating alarm in the population, we are interested in forecasting if a similar magnitude ...

Dispersion-theoretical analysis of the D^+ --> K^- pi^+ pi^+ Dalitz plot [PDF]

, 2015
We study the Dalitz plot of the Cabibbo-favored charmed-meson decay $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ using dispersion theory. The formalism respects all constraints from analyticity and unitarity, and consistently describes final-state interactions between all ...

Metamaterial Antennas Enhance MRI of the Eye and Occipital Brain

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A radiofrequency antenna platform comprising planar and bend configurations is developed, incorporating structurally integrated epsilon‐negative metamaterial unit cells to enhance MRI. These antennas enable high‐resolution in vivo human MRI of the eye, orbit, and occipital brain. Comprehensive validation, including simulations, phantom experiments, SAR,

Measurements of the Young’s modulus of hydroxide catalysis bonds, and the effect on thermal noise in ground-based gravitational wave detectors [PDF]

, 2018
With the outstanding results from the detection and observation of gravitational waves from coalescing black holes and neutron star inspirals, it is essential that pathways to further improve the sensitivities of the LIGO and VIRGO detectors are explored.

Lattice Structures for Bone Replacement: The Intersection of Bone Biomechanics, Lattice Design, and Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review outlines how understanding bone's biology, hierarchical architecture, and mechanical anisotropy informs the design of lattice structures that replicate bone morphology and mechanical behavior. Additive manufacturing enables the fabrication of orthopedic implants that incorporate such structures using a range of engineering materials ...
