Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

On a functional equation related to a generalization of Flett's mean value theorem

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2000
In this paper, we characterize all the functions that attain their Flett mean value at a particular point between the endpoints of the interval under consideration. These functions turn out to be cubic polynomials and thus, we also characterize these.

Tailoring Electric and Magnetic Dipole Emission of Er3+ Ions via Toroidal Dipole Resonance of Si Nanodisk Hexagonal Array

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Hexagonal arrays of silicon nanodisks are proposed to control 1.5 µm emission of Er3+ ions. Toroidal dipole resonance of the nanodisk array generates accessible magnetic hot spots at the surface, leading to enhanced and highly directional magnetic dipole emission along the surface‐normal direction via the magnetic Purcell effect.

Mean values of Dirichlet polynomials and applications to linear equations with prime variables

open access: yes, 2004
We prove a new mean-value theorem for Dirichlet polynomials with coefficients given by the von Mangoldt function. We then use our theorem to derive new estimates for certain exponential sums over primes.

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Near-optimal mean value estimates for multidimensional Weyl sums

open access: yes, 2012
We obtain sharp estimates for multidimensional generalisations of Vinogradov's mean value theorem for arbitrary translation-dilation invariant systems, achieving constraints on the number of variables approaching those conjectured to be the best possible.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Some fundamental theorems in the interval-valued functions and time scales [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mahani Mathematical Research
This research investigates the topological structure of the space of interval-valued functions equipped with an order relation defined by open balls. The aim is to establish analogues of fundamental theorems in calculus, including Bolzano’s theorem, the ...

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.
