Topology optimisation: increasing the speed and reliability of design [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper, topology optimisation is applied to the design of the rear fuselage of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A comparison is drawn between the performance of a design created through evolutionary structural optimisation (ESO) and a baseline ...

Geometry and topology of groups
Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2013 This short note is a slightly expanded version of the talk given by the author at the 54th LMD Conference, devoted to present a very informal and brief introduction to the main ideas of the asymptotic geometry of groups.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.InSb, a narrow‐bandgap semiconductor with high carrier mobility, is promising for thermoelectric energy conversion but suffers from high lattice thermal conductivity and strong bipolar conduction. Here, in situ interface engineering using Co2O3 nanoprecursors forms hierarchical CoSbx/In2O3/CoSb3 heterostructures that enhance phonon scattering and ...

The geometry of the disk complex [PDF]
, 2013 We give a distance estimate for the disk complex. We use the distance estimate to prove that the disk complex is Gromov hyperbolic. As another application of our techniques, we find an algorithm which computes the Hempel distance of a Heegaard splitting,

Entropy, 2018 In this article, we consider statistical submanifolds of Kenmotsu statistical manifolds of constant ϕ-sectional curvature. For such submanifold, we investigate curvature properties. We establish some inequalities involving the normalized δ-Casorati

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks

On the geometry, topology and approximation of amoebas
, 2013 We investigate multivariate Laurent polynomials f \in \C[\mathbf{z}^{\pm 1}] = \C[z_1^{\pm 1},\ldots,z_n^{\pm 1}] with varieties \mathcal{V}(f) restricted to the algebraic torus (\C^*)^n = (\C \setminus \{0\})^n.

On the Geometry and Topology of Discrete Groups: An Overview
In this paper, we provide a brief introduction to the main notions of geometric group theory and of asymptotic topology of finitely generated groups. We will start by presenting the basis of discrete groups and of the topology at infinity, then we will ...

A Non‐Reciprocal Architected Porous Medium
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In several fluid flow, energy‐dumping, and energy‐harvesting applications, a dominant flow direction or dominant resistance direction is desirable. In this study, we propose a simple modular geometry that doubles flow resistance in one direction relative to the opposite direction, while maintaining laminar viscous flow.

The geometry of visual experience [PDF]
, 2007 In this thesis I examine what the geometry of visual experience is. This is a question which to some has had an a priori answer, and to some its relevance to philosophy has been considered questionable.
