Non‐Additive Criteria Assessment in Sustainability Evaluation of High Entropy Alloys: A Toxicity‐Weighted Framework

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Sustainability assessment requires methodologies that appropriately distinguish between additive and non‐additive material properties. A toxicity‐weighted scoring system is developed and applied that accounts for the disproportionate influence of highly toxic constituents through nonlinear weighting functions, providing more realistic estimates than ...

Wearable Smart Patches on Sustainable Chitosan With Reversible Microbial Growth‐Inhibitory Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chitosan, a polysaccharide upcycled from biowaste, has long promised sustainable, biocompatible, and antimicrobial films and devices, an appeal reinforced by its recent regulatory recognition, with several chitosan‐based antibacterial dressings gaining clearance through the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) pathway.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

HERMITE INTERPOLATION WITH DICKSON POLYNOMIALS AND BERNSTEIN BASIS POLYNOMIALS

Eskişehir Teknik Üniversitesi Bilim ve Teknoloji Dergisi B - Teorik Bilimler, 2023
In this manuscript we introduce three new algorithms: (1) An algorithm to recover an unknown polynomial in terms of Dickson polynomials of the first kind, (2) an algorithm to recover an unknown polynomial in terms Dickson polynomials of the second kind, (3) an algorithm to recover an unknown polynomial in terms of Bernstein basis polynomials, from ...

Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

On the Equivalence Between a Minimal Codomain Cardinality Riesz Basis Construction, a System of Hadamard–Sylvester Operators, and a Class of Sparse, Binary Optimization Problems [PDF]

, 2014
Piecewise, low-order polynomial, Riesz basis families are constructed such that they share the same coefficient functionals of smoother, orthonormal bases in a localized indexing subset.

Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

On Complexity of Polynomial Basis Squaring in F2m [PDF]

, 2001
In this paper, the complexity of a squaring operation using polynomial basis (PB) in a class of finite fields F2m is evaluated. The main results are as follows: 1. When the field is generated with an irreducible trinomial f(x) = xm + xk + 1, 1 ≤ k ≤ m/2, where both m and k are odd, a PB squaring operation requires m-1/2 bit operations. 2.

Structural Properties of The Clifford–Weyl Algebra ${𝒜}_q^{\pm }$

Mathematics
The Clifford–Weyl algebra 𝒜q±, as a class of solvable polynomial algebras, combines the anti-commutation relations of Clifford algebras 𝒜q+ with the differential operator structure of Weyl algebras 𝒜q−. It exhibits rich algebraic and geometric properties.
