Quantification of Palmar and Digital Epidermal Thickness and Sweat Duct Density

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Palmar digital skin, with its high density of epidermal sweat glands and unique stratum corneum, derives its autonomic innervation from peripheral nerves. Understanding the changes to these structures could serve as objective proxy markers following peripheral nerve injury and interventions to promote regeneration.

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Systems control theory applied to natural and synthetic musical sounds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Systems control theory is a far developped field which helps to study stability, estimation and control of dynamical systems. The physical behaviour of musical instruments, once described by dynamical systems, can then be controlled and numerically ...

Hand‐powered and programmable electrowetting‐on‐dielectric droplet actuation enabled by triboelectric nanogenerator and mechanically encoded punch‐card switch array

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
A hand‐powered and mechanically programmable electrowetting‐on‐dielectric platform is demonstrated by integrating a contact‐separation triboelectric nanogenerator with a mechanically encoded punch‐card switch array. This unified mechanical–electrical architecture enables autonomous, portable, and robust droplet control for field‐deployable microfluidic
