Water Permeates and Plasticizes Amorphous Carbon Dots: Unraveling the Inner Accessibility of the Nanoparticles by Glass Transition Studies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The water permeability of amorphous carbon dots (CDs) is demonstrated by investigating their plasticization. Novel polyamide‐based and amorphous nanoparticles are synthesized by controlling their inner packing density. Water plasticization is evidenced by the decrease of the CDs glass transition temperature with increasing the hydration degree.

Advances in the Application of Fractal Theory to Oil and Gas Resource Assessment

open access: yesFractal and Fractional
In response to the growing complexity of global exploration targets, traditional Euclidean geometric and linear statistical methods reveal inherent theoretical limitations in characterizing hydrocarbon reservoirs as complex geological bodies that exhibit

On the fractal characteristics of a stabilised Newton method [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
In this report, we present a complete theory for the fractal that is obtained when applying Newton's Method to find the roots of a complex cubic. We show that a modified Newton's Method improves convergence and does not yield a fractal, but basins of ...

Ductility Tuning via Cluster Network Characteristics of Porous Components

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Network optimization via cluster characteristics induced by interaction of stress concentration is proposed, demonstrating increased cluster size and dispersion in non‐uniform porous components. The optimized structures exhibit, for the first time, that enhanced ductility and damage progression is controllable through zigzag cluster network designed by

Critical interfaces in the random-bond Potts model

open access: yes, 2008
We study geometrical properties of interfaces in the random-temperature q-states Potts model as an example of a conformal field theory weakly perturbed by quenched disorder.

Morphology‐Driven Electromechanical Performance of Graphene‐Based Electrofluids for Emerging Soft Electronic Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Here, two types of electronic components are presented: a strain sensor and a stable resistor. Electrofluids properties are tuned to match these behaviors by selecting the type of filler. We show that the morphology of the filler together with its oxygen content are the key parameters to create electrical and mechanical networks with distinct responses.

Continuous Time Random Walk and Migration Proliferation Dichotomy

open access: yes, 2015
A theory of fractional kinetics of glial cancer cells is presented. A role of the migration-proliferation dichotomy in the fractional cancer cell dynamics in the outer-invasive zone is discussed an explained in the framework of a continuous time random ...

Muscle Control of an Extra Robotic Digit

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study compares muscle‐ and movement‐based control for operating a supernumerary robotic thumb. While movement control performs better in the proposed tasks, muscle‐based (EMG) control promotes broader motor learning. The results highlight the promise and challenges of using biosignals for human augmentation, offering new insights into intuitive ...

Deciphering Shale Gas Production Dynamics: A Fractal Theory Approach

open access: yesFractal and Fractional
Shale gas production dynamics display strong heterogeneity and nonlinearity, posing challenges to conventional analytical methods. This study applies fractal theory to analyze long-term production data from 178 global shale gas fields by calculating ...

Research on Gridding of Urban Spatial Form Based on Fractal Theory

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2022
Urban spatial form is a significant reference to getting to know cities and running the cities. The fractal theory is an effective means to quantify urban spatial form.
