Inverse Design of Nanoparticulate Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inverse design shifts nanomaterial development from empirical trial‐and‐error to predictive model‐driven strategies. It can rely on knowledge‐based, data‐based, or hybrid process and property functions. This perspective article provides a practical framework for applying inverse design based on instructive examples. It discusses which modeling approach

Numerical solution of a general interval quadratic programming model for portfolio selection.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Based on the Markowitz mean variance model, this paper discusses the portfolio selection problem in an uncertain environment. To construct a more realistic and optimized model, in this paper, a new general interval quadratic programming model for ...

On efficiency of mean-variance based portfolio selection in DC pension schemes [PDF]

open access: yes
We consider the portfolio selection problem in the accumulation phase of a defined contribution (DC) pension scheme. We solve the mean-variance portfolio selection problem using the embedding technique pioneered by Zhou and Li (2000) and show that it is ...

Fiber‐Format Flexible Linear Electrostatic Motors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A flexible coaxial fibre‐format electrostatic motor enables backdrivable and reversible linear actuation with high force density and functionality under bending, offering a scalable actuation platform for soft and wearable robotics. ABSTRACT Linear motion is fundamental to robotics, yet existing solutions are either rigid electromagnetic motors or ...

Model Free Adaptive Q-Learning for Stochastic Differential Games With State-Dependent Perturbations and Input Saturation

open access: yesIEEE Access
This paper proposes an online adaptive Q-learning algorithm for linear-quadratic nonzero-sum stochastic differential games with completely unknown system dynamics, state-dependent perturbations, and input saturation constraints.

Textile‐Based Capacitive Pressure Sensors Enabled by Ultrasonic Spray‐Coated Carbon Black Electrodes and Electrostatic Flocking

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A 4‐layer Kevlar‐based composite is fabricated by combining ultrasonic spraying and electrostatic flocking. Carbon black dispersion is first deposited onto Kevlar fabric to create a conductive electrode. Nylon fibers are then electrostatically flocked onto the coated fabric, forming a dielectric layer.

Asymptotic expansions of error rates for the linear and quadratic discriminant functions in the case of unequal variances

open access: yesJournal of the Japan Statistical Society, Japanese Issue, 1988
This study compares the error rates between the linear discriminant function (LDF) and the quadratic discriminant function (QDF) in the case of univariate normal distributions with unequal variances. Asymptotic expansions for the distributions of two discriminant functions are presented.

Effects of variance-function misspecification in analysis of longitudinal data

open access: yes, 2005
The approach of generalized estimating equations (GEE) is based on the framework of generalized linear models but allows for specification of a working matrix for modeling within-subject correlations.

Programmable Variable‐Stiffness Multilayer Elastomer Composites With High‐Aspect‐Ratio Low‐Melting‐Point Alloy Inclusions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.
