Experimental study of bluntness effects on hypersonic boundary-layer transition over a slender cone using surface mounted pressure sensors

Advances in Aerodynamics, 2022
In this work, we studied the bluntness effect on the hypersonic boundary-layer transition over a slender cone at Mach 6 with interchangeable tips in a noisy Ludwieg tube tunnel before the so-called “transition reversal” phenomenon occurs.

Wearable Smart Patches on Sustainable Chitosan With Reversible Microbial Growth‐Inhibitory Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chitosan, a polysaccharide upcycled from biowaste, has long promised sustainable, biocompatible, and antimicrobial films and devices, an appeal reinforced by its recent regulatory recognition, with several chitosan‐based antibacterial dressings gaining clearance through the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) pathway.

Sufficient Conditions for Spanning k-Hypertrees via Distance Spectral Radius of Hypergraphs

Journal of Mathematics
For an integer k≥2, a spanning k-hypertree T is defined as a spanning hypertree (β-acyclic) such that the maximum degree dTv of every vertex v∈VT is at most k. A sufficient condition for the existence of a spanning k-hypertree in connected hypergraphs is

Simultaneous occurrence and compensating effects of multi‐type disorder in two‐dimensional photonic structures

Nano Select, 2023
Finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) simulations of the transmission spectra of planar small‐footprint photonic components with up to four types of morphological disorder as a materials parameter are performed with the aim to identify the individual ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

The spectral radius and the distance spectral radius of complements of block graphs

In this paper, we determine the graphs whose spectral radius and distance spectral radius attain maximum and minimum among all complements of clique trees. Furthermore, we also determine the graphs whose spectral radius and distance spectral radius attain minimum and maximum among all complements of block graphs, respectively.

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

Directed random geometric graphs: structural and spectral properties

Journal of Physics: Complexity, 2022
In this work we analyze structural and spectral properties of a model of directed random geometric graphs: given n vertices uniformly and independently distributed on the unit square, a directed edge is set between two vertices if their distance is ...
