Active Oscillations of Elastic Membranes Arising from the Coupling with a Catalytic Reaction
Coupling an elastic membrane to a catalytic reaction produces active oscillations that self‐sustain for hours: the membrane cyclically inflates and deflates as the reaction spontaneously activates and deactivates, without external power. Energy release is directly embodied in the oscillation dynamics, opening elasto‐chemical strategies for the physical

Habitat‐Specific Design Strategies for Untethered Soft Robots
Habitat shapes the design of untethered soft robots. Across land, water, air, and living tissues, environmental constraints govern viable combinations of compliant structures, actuation mechanisms, and energy delivery. This review connects these constraints with robotic performance and identifies design principles for advancing adaptable, durable, and ...

The Hybrid BFGS-CG Method in Solving Unconstrained Optimization Problems
In solving large scale problems, the quasi-Newton method is known as the most efficient method in solving unconstrained optimization problems. Hence, a new hybrid method, known as the BFGS-CG method, has been created based on these properties, combining ...

A Modified q-BFGS Algorithm for Unconstrained Optimization
This paper presents a modification of the q-BFGS method for nonlinear unconstrained optimization problems. For this modification, we use a simple symmetric positive definite matrix and propose a new q-quasi-Newton equation, which is close to the ordinary

The Effect of SNAP Purchasing Power on Diet Quality
ABSTRACT The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits millions of eligible low‐income Americans by increasing access to food, helping to reduce food insecurity. Previous studies have documented that the geographical variation in local food prices leads to significant differences in SNAP's purchasing power.

Experimental and numerical study of liquid–liquid systems using the Euler–Lagrange/VOF approach
Abstract Achieving stable liquid–liquid dispersions with controlled droplet size remains a challenge due to the complex interplay of dispersed phase viscosity, hydrodynamic conditions and interfacial interactions. This work presents a validated computational framework for droplet breakage and coalescence in liquid–liquid dispersions with variable ...

An Adaptive Lp Norm Minimization Algorithm for Direction of Arrival Estimation
In this paper, we propose a new direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm, in which DOA estimation is achieved by finding the sparsest support set of multiple measurement vectors (MMV) in an over-complete dictionary. The proposed algorithm is based

Crystal Structure Prediction of Inorganic Materials: A Benchmark and Modern Evaluation
Predicting a crystal’s structure from composition alone is a long‐standing challenge in materials discovery. The CSP180 benchmark of 180 inorganic crystals evaluates thirteen crystal structure prediction algorithms requiring no density functional theory (DFT) against DFT‐based baselines across twelve metrics.

A numerical solution of parabolic quasi-variational inequality nonlinear using Newton-multigrid method [PDF]
In this article, we apply three numerical methods to study the L∞-convergence of the Newton-multigrid method for parabolic quasi-variational inequalities with a nonlinear right-hand side.

Learning regularized Gauss-Newton methods
We consider variational networks for a class of nonlinear-ill-posed least squares inverse problems. These problems are addressed by regularized Gauss-Newton type optimization algorithms where the regularization is learned by a neural network.
