An investigation of resource-allocation decisions by means of project networks. [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper investigates the relationship between resource allocation and ES-policies, which are a type of scheduling policies introduced for stochastic scheduling and which can be represented by a directed acyclic graph.

Sustainable and Multifunctional Natural Macromolecular Polymers for Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We comprehensively review the structure‐function relationships and regulatory mechanism of natural macromolecular polymers in stabilizing zinc anodes at the microscopic and mesoscopic scales. The interactions among polymer structures, optimization strategies, and regulatory mechanisms are discussed systematically summarizing recent related research ...

Elastomeric 3D‐Printed Microenvironments Enable Nanonewton Force Measurements in Healthy and Diseased Human Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Derived Neuroepithelial Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present elastomeric three‐dimensional (3D) microstructures fabricated via two‐photon polymerization (2PP) and post‐processed through wet etching, for quantifying nanonewton (nN)‐scale forces applied by healthy and diseased neural cells. The mechanically characterized free‐standing beam architectures enable measurement of traction forces of ...

Breaking the Surface: Buoyant Metal–Polymer Open–Cell Hybrid Lattice Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Open‐cell metal–polymer lattice metamaterials that defy sinking. (a) Injection process of the polyurethane (PU) foam into the titanium (Ti‐6Al‐4V) hollow‐strut lattice creating the open‐cell Ti‐6Al‐4V+PU hybrid lattice, (b) flotation test of a hybrid lattice specimen, and (c) a digital representation and experimental validation of a marine buoy ...

N-Person Bargaining and Strategic Complexity [PDF]

open access: yes
We investigate the effect of introducing costs of complexity in the n -person unanimity bargaining game. In particular, the paper provides a justification for stationary equilibrium strategies in the class of games where complexity costs matter.

Artificial Intelligence Meets Micro/Nanorobotics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence is transforming micro‐ and nanorobots from externally controlled, task‐specific machines into adaptive, autonomous systems. Machine learning, multimodal perception, digital twins, AI‐guided materials and geometry design enhance propulsion, localization, decision‐making, whichaccelerates clinical and environmental applications ...

Algorithms in the theory of integral binary quadratic forms [PDF]

open access: yes
The classical ("old fashioned") theory of integral binary quadratic forms was developed by Gauss in his famous "Disquisitiones Arithmeticae". This thesis is concerned with the formal description and analysis of a selection of algorithms which make ...

Moiré Phase Mapping in Twisted Bilayer Liquid Crystals with Reconfigurable Light Polarization States

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Twisted bilayer liquid crystals are developed by vertical stacking assembly of two liquid crystals having designer domains and optical properties. These moiré‐symmetry, twisted liquid crystals demonstrate reconfigurable polarization states, moiré patterns and phases controlled by twist angles, providing a route to design active optical devices for ...

Toward Pore‐Engineered 3D‐Printed Materials for Sorption Water Harvesting, Interfacial Evaporation, and Radiative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Water harvesting, radiative cooling, and interfacial solar evaporation are fundamentally governed by coupled heat, mass, and light transport processes. These processes are mediated by pore architecture, including pore size, connectivity, and hierarchical organization.
