Fractal Cityscape

International Journal of Virtual Reality, 2010
There is an increasing demand for the simulation of large-scale "free-flow" urban environments in games or other virtual reality worlds. Currently most 3D cityscapes are generated by time consuming manually pre-scripted "room-to-room" approaches.

Strategic Design of Soft Actuators in Translational Medical Robotics for Human‐Centered Healthcare

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Soft robotics enables biocompatible, compliant medical devices, but clinical translation requires design‐driven engineering beyond materials. This perspective reviews implantable, surgical, and wearable systems by actuation mechanism, highlighting how optimized architectures and integration improve mechanical interfacing, adaptability, and durability ...

Caminhos (in)visíveis: mapeamento bibliográfico da população de rua pelas cidades [PDF]

Fractal: Revista de Psicologia
Resumo A população em situação de rua (PSR) é submetida a uma série de experiências que expressam as desigualdades no cotidiano das cidades. Consideramos que a rua não é só parte de um recorte geográfico, mas também um lugar de luta, resistência e ...

Physical Origin of Temperature Induced Activation Energy Switching in Electrically Conductive Cement

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The temperature‐induced Arrhenius activation energy switching phenomenon of electrical conduction in electrically conductive cement originates from structural degradation within the biphasic ionic‐electronic conduction architecture and shows percolation‐governed characteristics: pore network opening dominates the low‐percolation regime with downward ...

Personalized Network‐Guided Neuromodulation Enhances Human Working Memory

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A personalized neuromodulation framework combining individualized functional brain network targeting with real‐time neural decoding is introduced. Using concurrent TMS–fMRI, participant‐specific stimulation targets and optimal frequencies are identified. Only optimal‐frequency stimulation improves working memory across sessions.

The Impact of Vaccination Frequency on COVID-19 Public Health Outcomes: A Model-Based Analysis

Vaccines
Background: While the rapid deployment of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines had a significant impact on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, rapid viral immune evasion and waning neutralizing antibody titers have degraded vaccine efficacy.

Impossible fractals [PDF]

Computers & Graphics, 2007
Impossible objects are a type of optical illusion involving ambiguous visual descriptions of figures that cannot physically exist. It is shown by way of example that such objects can be further developed using standard fractal techniques to create new, more complex designs that retain the perceptual illusion, sometimes allowing additional illusions to ...

Functional Disorder at the Neural Interface: How Disordered Nanostructures Promote Proper Growth and Differentiation in In Vitro Neural Cultures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work provides a practical guide for neuroengineers to design advanced neural interfaces, embracing and tailoring the concept of functional disorder. By bridging 2D and 3D in vitro models, this work highlights how non‐periodic, spatially heterogeneous, multiscale nanotopography can enable more physiologically relevant platforms for studying neural ...

Computational identification of antibody-binding epitopes from mimotope datasets

Frontiers in Bioinformatics
Introduction: A fundamental challenge in computational vaccinology is that most B-cell epitopes are conformational and therefore hard to predict from sequence alone. Another significant challenge is that a great deal of the amino acid sequence of a viral
