Fading Productivity - Making Sense of Canada's Productivity Challenge [PDF]

open access: yes
The Global Competitiveness Report of the World Economic Forum demonstrates that Canada’s competitiveness is at its lowest in the last five years. This paper seeks to understand the major causes of the decreasing competitiveness and how these factors have

How to Manufacture Photonic Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Metamaterials boast applications such as invisibility and “hyperlenses” with resolution beyond the diffraction limit, but these applications haven’t been exploited in earnest and the market for them hasn’t grown much likely because facile and economical methods for fabricating them without defect has not emerged.

Graph product and the stability of circulant graphs [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
A graph $\Gamma$ is said to be stable if $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma\times K_2)\cong\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)\times \mathbb{Z}_{2}$ and unstable otherwise. If an unstable graph is connected, non-bipartite and any two of its distinct vertices have different neighborhoods, then it is called nontrivially unstable.

The Role of Theoretical Calculations for INVEST Systems: Complementarity Between Theory and Experiments and Rationalization of the Results

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Theoretical lessons are key for molecules presenting an inverted singlet‐triplet excited state (e.g. S1 and T1) energy difference. This perspective provides a snapshot of the role played by calculations in last years, not only to anticipate experimental findings but also for driving high‐throughput virtual screenings, as well as the main challenge to ...

Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...
