Experimental Analysis and Physics‐Based Analytical Model on Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Twisted and coiled artificial muscles made from silver‐coated nylon fibers are investigated through experiments and analytical modeling. The actuators achieve contractions up to 19.3% and specific work of 8 kJ kg−1, though efficiency remains limited (≈0.15%) by thermal losses.

A Positron Lifetime Study of Cooling and Natural Aging of Solutionized Aluminum Alloys
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The process during cooling of Al–Mg and Al–Mg–Si alloys from the solutionizing temperature down to 20 °C is interrupted. These states are analyzed with positron lifetime spectroscopy to trace the processes during cooling. In different temperature ranges, two stages of vacancy loss and solute clustering are identified.

Ant-based extraction of rules in simple decision systems over ontological graphs
International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2015 In the paper, the problem of extraction of complex decision rules in simple decision systems over ontological graphs is considered. The extracted rules are consistent with the dominance principle similar to that applied in the dominancebased rough set ...
