From Origami to Bistable and Laminate Structures: A Review for Multifunctional Applications from Structural Perspective of Shape‐Changing Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores how shape‐changing structures—origami, bistable, and laminate structures—enable multifunctionality in soft robotics and metamaterials. Starting from structural design, it examines core principles, real‐world applications, and ongoing challenges.

An Origami‐Inspired Cable‐Driven Continuum Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A cable‐driven origami‐inspired continuum robot with dual bending‐contraction freedom is presented, overcoming monofunctional limitations of existing designs. A multijoint prototype demonstrates significant adaptability for shape‐variable grasping. Embedded structural conformality further supports a customizable wrist orthosis with dual rehabilitation ...

Digital Point‐of‐Care Testing Device Based on Bioluminescent Pyrophosphate in Real‐Time and Recombinase‐aid Amplification

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A point‐of‐care testing method based on solvent‐responsive magnetic beads suitable for large‐area diagnosis and mutation screening in remote areas was developed to detect it by combining bioluminescenct pyrophosphate in real‐time technology and recombinase‐aid amplification technology.

Planning and Control Framework for a Quadruped Robot With Changeable Configuration

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Multiconfiguration quadruped robots enhance adaptability by switching between mammal‐like and reptile‐like morphologies. This study presents a nonlinear constraint‐based motion planner integrated with a hierarchical whole‐body controller, enabling robust configuration switching and locomotion on complex terrains. Experiments on slopes, irregular bricks,

Beyond the Mountain Pass: Some Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Nonlinear Studies, 2012
Abstract We will survey three applications of the famous Mountain Pass Lemma by Antonio Ambrosetti and Paul H. Rabinowitz, [6]. Precisely, we will present some results on the following problems: A model of growth and roughening of surfaces, usually called Kardar-Parisi-Zhang model. A supercritical problem

Promoting caring communities through collective action

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current times call for the promotion of caring communities through collective action. In caring communities, we feel connected, experience a sense of belonging, and deeply care about each other's health and well‐being. Seymour Sarason's notion of social change as the creation of settings may have anticipated the art and practice of creating ...

Note on an anisotropic p-Laplacian equation in $R^n$

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2010
In this paper, we study a kind of anisotropic p-Laplacian equations in $R^n$. Nontrivial solutions are obtained using mountain pass theorem given by Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz.

The Mountain Passes in Norðradalur

open access: yesFróðskaparrit - Faroese Scientific Journal, 2017
The article deals with the names of two mountain passes used by people travelling to or from Norðradalur. The passes exhibit a wide variety of names in written and oral sources. The more northerly one is called Norðaraskarð, Norðaraskarð í Norðradali, Norð­ara Norðradalsskarð, Neytaskarð, Norðradals­ skarð, Skarðið, while its neighbour to the south ...

The Cost of the National Disability Insurance Scheme: Australia's Print‐Media Discourse

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the way that Australian newspapers have framed the cost of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Introduced in 2013, the NDIS represented a major change in Australia's disability support policy, moving for the first time to a nationwide universal insurance model.
