Active Thermal Field Integration for Marangoni‐Driven Salt Rejection and Water Collection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A thermal gradient fabric (TGF) evaporator with an auxiliary active thermal field can simultaneously increase evaporation rates and achieve long‐term salt rejection. The auxiliary active thermal field is well integrated with solar energy to construct moderate, extensive, and circulating Marangoni flow for salt rejection.

UNFOLDED REGULAR AND SEMI-REGULAR POLYHEDRA

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Design and Engineering Graphics, 2015
This paper proposes a presentation unfolding regular and semi-regular polyhedra. Regular polyhedra are convex polyhedra whose faces are regular and equal polygons, with the same number of sides, and whose polyhedral angles are also regular and equal ...

Multi-robot control for a static polygon formation using Neighbor-Leader algorithm

open access: yesJournal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2022
One of the biggest open challenges to the robotic system is controlling robots formation. Its importance has been noted in a wide variety of applications, from truck platoons to robot-based standalone parcel delivery.

Partitioning Regular Polygons into Circular Pieces I: Convex Partitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We explore an instance of the question of partitioning a polygon into pieces, each of which is as ``circular'' as possible, in the sense of having an aspect ratio close to 1.

On monohedral tilings of a regular polygon

open access: yesAequationes mathematicae, 2023
AbstractA tiling of a topological disc by topological discs is called monohedral if all tiles are congruent. Maltby (J Comb Theory Ser A 66:40–52, 1994) characterized the monohedral tilings of a square by three topological discs. Kurusa et al. (Mediterr J Math 17:156, 2020) characterized the monohedral tilings of a circular disc by three topological ...

Magnetically Guided Mechanoactive Mineralization Scaffolds for Enhanced Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printed ‘rebar‐concrete’ inspired scaffold (PGS‐P@MGel) synergizes spontaneous biomineralization with magneto‐mechanical stimulation through PDA@Fe3O4‐embedded hydrogel. This dual biointerface activates Piezo1/β‐catenin/YAP mechanotransduction axis, enhancing BMSCs osteogenesis and angiogenesis simultaneously.

Random Polygons and Estimations of π

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2019
In this paper, we study the approximation of π through the semiperimeter or area of a random n-sided polygon inscribed in a unit circle in ℝ2. We show that, with probability 1, the approximation error goes to 0 as n → ∞, and is roughly sextupled when ...

Highly Scalable, Raspberry‐Like Microbeads with Nano‐/Micro‐Confined Hybrid Hydrogel Desiccants for Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable nano‐/micro‐confinement strategy is developed, where polyacrylamide (PAM)‐LiCl hybrid desiccants are confined within hollow nanoparticles (HNPs) and assembled into raspberry‐like microbeads. The beads have a hydrogel‐rich core and an NP‐rich shell for fast absorption and desorption, releasing water 13.6 L kg⁻¹ day⁻¹.

Geometrically Templated, Ultra‐Lightweight and High Strength Soap Films from Lyotropic Liquid Crystalline Graphene Oxide/Polymer Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellular materials form spontaneously by dip coating the primitive triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) wireframe in an aqueous solution of lyotropic liquid crystalline graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets mixed with polymers. Regulated by surface tension, GO nanosheets align on the polymer soap film as the stress builds up during drying.

Functionalized Reduced Graphene Oxide‐Based Nanocomposite Hydrogels for Enhanced Osteogenesis in Bone Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Charge‐opposed reduced graphene oxide fillers are co‐integrated into biopolymeric nanocomposite scaffolds, synergistically enhance osteogenesis. Multiscale characterization reveals how surface chemistry and porosity dictate ectopic mineral architecture.
