Measuring Pavement Condition Data for a Long-term Pavement Performance Study on New Zealand Roads

open access: yes, 2015
New Zealand like most countries has "site specific" factors which influence pavement performance, some of which are not well investigated or covered in current pavement deterioration models.

Neuromorphic Training of VO2 Device at Behavioral Timescale Inspired by the Plasticity of CA1 Neurons of Live Mouse Brain

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A VO2 device can act as a functional analog for behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity noted in the mouse brain by current pulsing. ABSTRACT Realizing biologically relevant plasticity rules in hardware is a central goal in neuromorphic computing.

Evaluation of performance based approach for determining contribution of environmental factors to pavement deterioration : H P & R implementation study.

open access: yes
State Legislation requires that cost responsibility studies be available for the 1991 and 1993 Legislative sessions. Part of this legislative requirement includes the need to re-evaluate and establish a sound basis for the weight-mile tax. To be fair and

Two‐Way Shape Memory Polymer Composite Gripper for Adaptive Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐way shape memory polymer (SMP) composite is developed with intrinsic shape‐changing capability driven solely by temperature, eliminating external actuation loads. Embedding the SMP in a low‐stiffness elastomeric matrix enabled reversible transformations during heating and cooling cycles.

Unlocking Terahertz Steganography: Authentication of Hidden Images in Flexible Media

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hidden information in multilayered devices, such as steganographic portraits, is detected and authenticated using reflection‐mode terahertz time‐domain imaging. Image reconstruction relies on a dedicated figure‐of‐merit obtained by integrating the signal intensity over the time‐window associated with the reflection from the metallic mirror backing the ...
