Lowering the sound transmission loss of impedance-matching structures: Data-driven optimization assisted with a priori knowledge

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2023
Impedance-matching structures (IMSs) with low sound transmission loss (TL) are of great importance in engineering applications. Due to the limitations of the traditional research methods, the designs of the IMSs were usually empirically guided, e.g ...

Voltage-controlled radial wrinkles of a trumpet-like dielectric elastomer structure

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2018
Wrinkle is usually considered as one failure mode of membrane structure. However, it can also be harnessed in developing smart devices such as dry adhesion tape, diffraction grating, smart window, etc.

Designing Ionic Conductive Elastomers Using Hydrophobic Networks and Hydrophilic Salt Hydrates with Improved Stability in Air

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, 2023
Existing soft ionic conductors fall into two distinct categories: liquid‐rich ionic conductors containing large amounts of liquid electrolytes (≈70–90 wt.% water for hydrogels and ≈20–80 wt.% ionic liquids for ionogels), and liquid‐free ionic conductors ...

How much ‘Soft Power’ does China have in Africa? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
I have over the past years been intrigued by why Chinese scholars and policy makers have found the term ‘soft power’1 so useful. Can it have something to with its loose connotations, and that it one the hand signifies power, and on the other hand does ...

On Soft Power Diagrams

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms in Operations Research, 2014
Many applications in data analysis begin with a set of points in a Euclidean space that is partitioned into clusters. Common tasks then are to devise a classifier deciding which of the clusters a new point is associated to, finding outliers with respect to the clusters, or identifying the type of clustering used for the partition.

SOFT POWER ROSJI

open access: yesPrzegląd Strategiczny, 2017
Rosja zawsze była państwem, które dążyło, aby być mocarstwem. Nawet jeżeli straciło tematyce bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego. W odniesieniu do roku 2016 autor dokonał (siłą rzeczy) subiektywnego wyboru tekstów, które znalazły się na łamach czterech publikacji- ,,Bellony", ,,Rocznika Bezpieczeństwa Międzynarodowego", ,,Rocznika Strategicznego" oraz ...
