Biomimetic Design of Biocompatible Neural Probes for Deep Brain Signal Monitoring and Stimulation: Super Static Interface for Immune Response‐Enhanced Contact

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ultrathin, flexible neural probes are developed with an innovative, biomimetic design incorporating brain tissue‐compatible materials. The material system employs biomolecule‐based encapsulation agents to mitigate inflammatory responses, as demonstrated through comprehensive in vitro and in vivo studies.

Unconstrained inverse quadratic programming problem [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
The paper covers a formulation of the inverse quadratic programming problem in terms of unconstrained optimization where it is required to find the unknown parameters (the matrix of the quadratic form and the vector of the quasi-linear part of the quadratic form) provided that approximate estimates of the optimal solution of the direct problem and ...

Wearable Haptic Feedback Interfaces for Augmenting Human Touch

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The wearable haptic feedback interfaces enhance user experience in gaming, social media, biomedical instrumentation, and robotics by generating tactile sensations. This review discusses and categorizes current haptic feedback interfaces into force, thermal, and electrotactile stimulation‐based haptic feedback interfaces, elucidating their current ...

Foundations for Deductive Verification of Continuous Probabilistic Programs: From Lebesgue to Riemann and Back [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
We lay out novel foundations for the computer-aided verification of guaranteed bounds on expected outcomes of imperative probabilistic programs featuring (i) general loops, (ii) continuous distributions, and (iii) conditioning. To handle loops we rely on user-provided quantitative invariants, as is well established.

Blazes: Coordination Analysis for Distributed Programs [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
Distributed consistency is perhaps the most discussed topic in distributed systems today. Coordination protocols can ensure consistency, but in practice they cause undesirable performance unless used judiciously. Scalable distributed architectures avoid coordination whenever possible, but under-coordinated systems can exhibit behavioral anomalies under

Material Composition Gradient Controls the Autonomous Opening of Banksia Seed Pods in Fire‐Prone Habitats

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The seed pod valves of Australian Banksia attenuata plants are not simply bi‐layers which bend when dry. These experiments and models reveal complex mechanics, which allow seed release only after several steps of seed pod opening. Stiffness gradients prevent delamination of the valves during loading, and a shape‐memory function protects the seeds ...

Refuting conjectures in extremal combinatorics via linear programming [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
We apply simple linear programming methods and an LP solver to refute a number of open conjectures in extremal combinatorics.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Mimetics as Osteoinductive Mediators for Bone Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived nanoghosts (MSC‐NGs) mimic naturally secreted extracellular vesicles (MSC‐EVs) in structure and physicochemical properties but can be synthesized at more translatable yields. As osteogenic agents, MSC‐NGs demonstrate superior outcomes compared to MSC‐EVs.

Practical Algorithms for Finding Extremal Sets [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
The minimal sets within a collection of sets are defined as the ones which do not have a proper subset within the collection, and the maximal sets are the ones which do not have a proper superset within the collection. Identifying extremal sets is a fundamental problem with a wide-range of applications in SAT solvers, data-mining and social network ...
