A Wearable Soft Actuator for Directional Tactile Stimulation: Design and Testing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A wearable actuator able to produce directional tactile stimulation is obtained by embedding a planar shape memory spring in silicone matrix. The matrix is designed taking into account skin characteristics and leveraging its multifunctionality: it acts as a bias load, improves the thermal behavior of the spring and wearability.

Knot Theory: from Fox 3-colorings of links to Yang-Baxter homology and Khovanov homology

open access: yes, 2018
This paper is an extended account of my "Introductory Plenary talk at Knots in Hellas 2016" conference We start from the short introduction to Knot Theory from the historical perspective, starting from Heraclas text (the first century AD), mentioning R ...

Monolithic Biohybrid Flexure Mechanism Actuated by Bioengineered Skeletal Muscle Tissue

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A scalable, monolithic biohybrid flexure mechanism is presented, integrating engineered skeletal muscle tissue with a soft, biocompatible, hollow silicone cylinder featuring dual pillars. Muscle contraction induces bending motion upon electrical stimulation, with performance governed by the structure's flexural rigidity.

The Abbaco Tradition (1300-1500): its role in the development of European algebra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Abbaco algebra is a coherent tradition of algebraic problem solving mostly based in the merchant cities of fourteenth and fifteenth-century Italy. This period is roughly situated between two important works dealing with algebra: the Liber Abbaci by ...

Soft Robots Proprioception Through Stretchable Laser‐Induced Graphene Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the potential of laser‐induced graphene and silicone sensors for soft pneumatic grippers’ proprioception. The sensors are thin, stretchable, mechanically transparent, and easy to integrate. Finite‐element method analysis identifies the finger's neutral bending plane and four sensor positions are tested to validate the ...

Glueball masses from ratios of path integrals

open access: yes, 2011
By generalizing our previous work on the parity symmetry, the partition function of a Yang-Mills theory is decomposed into a sum of path integrals each giving the contribution from multiplets of states with fixed quantum numbers associated to parity ...

Determinants of Toeplitz–Hessenberg Matrices with Generalized Leonardo Number Entries

open access: yesAnnales Mathematicae Silesianae
Abstract Let un = un (k) denote the generalized Leonardo number defined recursively by un = un− 1 + un− 2 + k for n ≥ 2, where u 0 = u 1 = 1. Terms of the sequence un

Chromosome‐scale reference genome of Pectocarya recurvata, the species with the smallest reported genome size in Boraginaceae

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Pectocarya recurvata (Boraginaceae, subfamily Cynoglossoideae), a species native to the Sonoran Desert (North America), has served as a model system for a suite of ecological and evolutionary studies. However, no reference genomes are currently available in Cynoglossoideae. A high‐quality reference genome for P.
