Manipulating waves by distilling frequencies: a tunable shunt-enabled rainbow trap [PDF]
Smart Mater. Struct. 25, 085017 (2016), 2016 In this work, we propose and test a strategy for tunable, broadband wave attenuation in electromechanical waveguides with shunted piezoelectric inclusions. Our strategy is built upon the vast pre-existing literature on vibration attenuation and bandgap generation in structures featuring periodic arrays of piezo patches, but distinguishes itself for ...

Liver transplantation in patients with patent splenorenal shunts [PDF]
, 1987 Patent distal splenorenal shunts (Warren shunt) have been reported to cause decreases in the portal perfusion pressure and the total hepatic blood flow. Such hemodynamic alterations could have adverse effects on the transplanted liver.

Two‐Stage Treatment for Adult Large Patent Ductus Venosus
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This is the first report of a two‐stage treatment for an adult large PDV involving the first stage surgical angioplasty of the large Arantius' duct and second stage embolization of the formed small Arantius' duct. The two‐stage approach could avoid embolic material migration into the systemic circulation or acute portal hypertension associated with the

Tunable elastic Parity-Time symmetric structure based on the shunted piezoelectric materials [PDF]
, 2018 We theoretically and numerically report on tunable elastic Parity-Time (PT) symmetric structure based on shunted piezoelectric units. We show that the elastic loss and gain can be archived in piezoelectric materials when they are shunted by external circuits containing positive and negative resistances.

A Wearable Soft Actuator for Directional Tactile Stimulation: Design and Testing
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A wearable actuator able to produce directional tactile stimulation is obtained by embedding a planar shape memory spring in silicone matrix. The matrix is designed taking into account skin characteristics and leveraging its multifunctionality: it acts as a bias load, improves the thermal behavior of the spring and wearability.
