Variable Stiffness Flexure Structures Enabled by Phase‐Change Gallium and Adhesive Interfacial Locking for Soft Robotic Applications

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A flexure‐based variable stiffness structure is developed by integrating phase‐change modulation and adhesive interfacial locking of gallium. The design enables a wide stiffness variability, transitioning from soft, flexible behavior to rigid, load‐supporting performance.

Estimation of Plastic and Other Waste Disposed of by Longline and Gillnet Fleets Operating from Cilacap

Ilmu Kelautan, 2022
Tuna-fishing boats based at the Cilacap Oceanic Fishing Port are potential contributors to marine debris in the Indian Ocean. Without a quantitative assessment of the types and amount of debris, port management cannot develop a strategy to address this ...

Is an Apple an Orange? A Large Language Model Benchmark for Candidate Term Extraction and Subclass Decisions Against Upper Ontologies in Engineering and Materials Science

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Building machine‐readable vocabularies for materials science is slow, expert‐driven work. This study benchmarks 13 large language models on two of its first steps: finding candidate terms in engineering articles and deciding where they belong in a class hierarchy.

Vessel Port Dues: An Influence from Path Dependency rather than Geography of Ports

Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics, 2018
Port dues have a limited impact on the door-to-door international decision making process. They are, however, a major source of revenue for port authorities.

Approximation to a landlord port management model: Ukrainian context

Розвиток методів управління та господарювання на транспорті, 2020
With the beginning of port reform in Ukraine, the model of port sector governance was changed. Established in 2013, the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority was endowed with administrative, maritime safety and security functions.

Optoelectronic Synaptic Devices Using Molecular Telluride Phase‐Change Inks for Three‐Factor Learning

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Optoelectronic synaptic devices based on solution‐processed molecular telluride GST‐225 phase‐change inks are demonstrated for three‐factor learning. A global optical signal broadcast through a silicon waveguide induces non‐volatile conductance updates exclusively in locally electrically flagged memristors.

An approach to assessing tsunami risk to the global port network under rising sea levels

npj Natural Hazards
Seaports are vulnerable to extreme sea level events. Beyond physical damage, any port inoperability affects trade flows in and out of the affected port and disrupts shipping routes connected to it, which then propagates throughout the port network. Here,

Controlling port dues in the sea ports of Ukraine

Problemi ekonomìki transportu, 2017
Цель. С целью приведения портовых сборов в Украине к конкурентному уровню сборов других стран их необходимо оптимизировать до экономически обоснованного уровня. Применение методической системы контролинга позволит определить обоснованные ставки каждого портового сбора, исходя из необходимых эксплуатационных затрат каждого порта.

Chiral Phase Change Nanomaterials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates reversible, non‐volatile phase transitions in chiral Ge2${\rm Ge}_2$Sb2${\rm Sb}_2$Te5${\rm Te}_5$ (GST) nanohelices for high‐speed optical modulation of chirality and dynamic control of the state of polarization (SOP). The chiral nanostructures are fabricated using a highly directional, wafer‐scale physical vapor deposition ...
