Bioinspired Adaptive Surfaces for Intelligent Liquid Manipulation: Progressing From Passive and Active to Hybrid Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

On computing normalized coprime factorizations of periodic systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A numerically reliable state space algorithm is proposed for computing normalized coprime factorizations of periodic descriptor systems. A preprocessing step is used in the algorithm to convert the initial problem for possibly non-causal systems into

On Balancing and Order Reduction of Unstable Periodic Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Abstract: We consider the direct application of balancing techniques to unstable periodic systems by extending the balancing concepts to arbitrary periodic systems. We extend first the balancing concepts to unstable discrete-time systems by defining the

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.

TAXA DE CORTE SUSTENTÁVEL PARA MANEJO DAS FLORESTAS TROPICAIS

open access: yesCiência Florestal, 2012
There is a large gap in tropical forest management plans regarding to the intensity of logging and cutting rates. So far, it has been defined arbitrarily. This work aims at to define different cutting intensities for groups of tree species with different

ECOLOGICAL AND FUNCTIONAL CLUSTERING OF FORESTAL SPECIES IN THE SOUTH WESTERN AMAZONIA

open access: yesRevista Árvore
The aim of this study was to perform ecological and functional clustering of tree species in southwestern Amazon. Developed from data from 95 permanent plots of 1 ha each, all individuals with diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥10 cm were measured.
