Drosophila mechanical nociceptors preferentially sense localized poking
Mechanical nociception is an evolutionarily conserved sensory process required for the survival of living organisms. Previous studies have revealed much about the neural circuits and sensory molecules in mechanical nociception, but the cellular ...

Optimal design and performance evaluation of tuned mass damper inerter in building structures
This paper concerns the numerical performance evaluation of multi-degree-of-freedom systems equipped with Tuned Mass Dampers-Inerter (TMDIs); a passive control device used for the mitigation of mechanical vibrations induced by dynamic loads.

Limit cycle behavior of smart fluid dampers under closed loop control [PDF]
Semiactive vibration dampers offer an attractive compromise between the simplicity and fail safety of passive devices, and the weight, cost, and complexity of fully active systems.

Magnetic damping of a carbon nanotube NEMS resonator [PDF]
A suspended, doubly clamped single wall carbon nanotube is characterized at cryogenic temperatures. We observe specific switching effects in dc-current spectroscopy of the embedded quantum dot.

Impact of controlled extensional flow during extrusion of PP, PVDF and LDPE
The structure and properties of semi-crystalline polymers can be drastically tailored by extensional flows. In this work, polypropylene (PP), Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) were melt extruded through a sequence of ...

Dynamical magnetic anisotropy and quantum phase transitions in a vibrating spin-1 molecular junction
We study the electronic transport through a spin-1 molecule in which mechanical stretching produces a magnetic anisotropy. In this type of device, a vibron mode along the stretching axis will couple naturally to the molecular spin.
