Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

Revision of Pseudo-Ultrametric Spaces Based on m-Polar T-Equivalences and Its Application in Decision Making

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
In mathematics, distance and similarity are known as dual concepts. However, the concept of similarity is interpreted as fuzzy similarity or T-equivalence relation, where T is a triangular norm (t-norm in brief), when we discuss a fuzzy environment ...

Implication operators in fuzzy logic

open access: yes, 2002
The choice of fuzzy implication as well as other connectives is an important problem in the theoretical development of fuzzy logic, and at the same time, it is significant for the performance of the systems in which fuzzy logic technique is employed ...

Hemocompatible Glycogen‐Tissue Plasminogen Activator Complexes for Enhanced Blood Clot Dissolution

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Glycogen–heparin‐cRGD nanoparticles enable targeted delivery of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to thrombi through activated platelet recognition. The hemocompatible hybrids minimize interactions with blood and immune cells while retaining enzymatic biodegradability.

Intuitionistic Type-2 Fuzzy Normed Linear Space and Some of Its Basic Properties

open access: yesMathematics
An intuitionistic fuzzy set is a more generalised tool than a fuzzy set for handling unpredictability as, in an intuitionistic fuzzy set, there is scope for considering a grade of non-membership, independent of the grade of membership, only satisfying ...

Negation, 'presupposition' and the semantics/pragmatics distinction [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A cognitive pragmatic approach is taken to some long-standing problem cases of negation, the so-called presupposition denial cases. It is argued that a full account of the processes and levels of representation involved in their interpretation typically ...

Negation in Skolt Saami

open access: yes, 2015
This chapter describes negation in Skolt Saami in a typological perspective. In the standard negation construction, the negative marker is a negative auxiliary verb and the lexical verb appears in a non-finite form.

Achieving High Spatial Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Studies in Closed Liquid Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Achieving high spatial resolution is important for resolving nanoscale dynamic processes and structural transformations in liquid environments, yet remains challenging in liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM). This review highlights key strategies, including mitigating membrane bulging, displacing or redistributing local liquid ...

Sub‐nm2 Ferroelectric Domains via Charged 180° Walls in ZrO2

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric ZrO2${\rm ZrO}_2$ thin films host closely spaced charged 180∘$^{\circ }$ domain walls that vertically compress polar domains beyond their lateral half‐unit‐cell limit. These head‐to‐head and tail‐to‐tail walls show distinct bulk‐like structures, natural oxygen‐mediated stabilization, and highly asymmetric mobility, highlighting new ...
