Ultrafast Adhesion/Friction Bidirectionally Switchable Control by Vibration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired gradient smooth architectures enable vibration‐switchable adhesion/friction with 62.02 kPa adhesion strength, 131.57 kPa shear strength, tilt angles ≥ 3°, roughness ≥ Ra 0.8 µm, 400 Hz antivibration robustness, and dual‐mode control. The synergy of geometry optimization and vibration modulation tuning bridges multidomain adaptability and ...

Using Generic Summarization to Improve Music Information Retrieval Tasks [PDF]

, 2016
In order to satisfy processing time constraints, many MIR tasks process only a segment of the whole music signal. This practice may lead to decreasing performance, since the most important information for the tasks may not be in those processed segments.

Rotary 4D Printing of Programmable Metamaterials on Sustainable 4D Mandrel

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The paper introduces open, rotary 4D printing of programmable tubular metamaterials. It presents an open, non‐planar path‐to‐G‐code pipeline and shape‐changing rotary mandrel that enable support‐free fabrication and multi‐stimuli actuation. Experiments and FEA validate the mentioned features and stress redistribution.

Chromosomal mapping of two Mariner-like elements in the grasshopper Abracris flavolineata (Orthoptera: Acrididae) reveals enrichment in euchromatin

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
The occurrence of transposable elements (TEs) is a ubiquitous characteristic of eukaryotic genomes, and these sequences are highly abundant in some species. Due to their large genomes, grasshoppers (Orthoptera) appear to be potentially good candidates in
