Analysis and Control of the Complex Dynamics of a Multimarket Cournot Investment Game with Bounded Rationality

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2016
A dynamic multimarket Cournot model is introduced based on a specific inverse demand function. Puu’s incomplete information approach, as a realistic method, is used to contract the corresponding dynamical model under this function.

3D‐Printed Dynamic Heart Model With Left‐Side Anatomy and Integrated Sensor for Edge‐to‐Edge Repair and Regurgitation Reduction

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents a fully synthetic, 3D‐printed dynamic heart model with left‐side anatomy featuring sutured mitral valve chordae tendineae analogs, embedded actuators for physiologic wall contraction, and customized flexible pressure sensors for the left ventricle.

Work for Image and Work for Pay [PDF]

open access: yes
Standard economic models with complete information predict a positive, monotonic relationship between pay and performance. This prediction does not always hold in experimental tests: offering a small payment may result in lower performance than not ...

Self‐Soldering, Stretchable and Self‐Healing Liquid Metal Elastomer Interconnections for Soft Electronics Platforms

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A self‐healing and electrically conductive liquid metal elastomer enables robust self‐soldering of surface mount devices for soft electronics. Photothermally activated conductive pathways, strong pressure‐sensitive adhesion, and stable package‐integrated contacts provide high conductivity and extreme stretchability.

Self-Correcting Mechanisms in Public Procurement: Why Award and Contract Should be Separated [PDF]

open access: yes
In public procurement a temporal separation of award and actual contracting can frequently be observed. In this paper we give an explanation for this institutional setting.

Pixelated Laser with Tailored Emission Spectrum Photopatterned by Digital Holographic Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene‐based surface‐relief gratings inscribed via DHM‐integrated holographic lithography enable programmable pixelated DFB laser architectures. This approach allows independent control of grating parameters across a 2D array, enabling spatially tailored emission spectra.

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Optimal Contracts under Generalized Verifiability Correspondences [PDF]

open access: yes
Before playing a game, the players may sign a contract that prescibes not to take some actions. Following the methodology introduced in Bernheim and Whinston (1998), henceforth BW, this paper models verifiability as a correspondence mapping actually ...

Molecular Appendix Adjusted Architectural Propagations of Red‐Light Controlled Macroscopic Photoactuating Performances

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic chloroazobenzenes, bearing different amino acids as end groups alanine, phenylalanine, and valine, exhibit excellent photoisomerizations. Varying structures of three amino acid groups participate in supramolecular formations and therefore photoinduced morphological transformations via adjusting intermolecular interactions. These interaction
