Spheres, tears, and spears: Regulating the perimeter and circularity of millimeter‐sized alginate hydrogel beads

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Generating hydrogel beads pertains to many engineering applications. We examined two alginate‐based fluids at three concentrations of alginate, cAG$$ {c}_{\mathrm{AG}} $$. We used the “Map of Misery” to determine which material property (viscosity, elasticity, and inertia) drives droplet formation.

Electrothermally Controlled 3D‐Printed Shape Memory Polymers for Near‐Ambient Temperature Soft Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In this article, we develop bespoke resins for stereolithography 3D‐printing of soft‐robotic grippers that are controlled remotely by electrothermal stimulus near ambient temperatures. Turning on the electrical control, each finger can be actuated separately.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Design and feasibility study of a smart speed hump for selective urban speed management: risk-informed deployment via conditional generative modelling

open access: yesFrontiers in Future Transportation
Urban speed management in developing countries frequently relies on fixed physical speed humps. While effective for compliance, these devices can reduce comfort for compliant drivers, increase structural loads on heavy vehicles, and complicate winter ...

Homozygous Achondroplasia With Long‐Term Survival: Growth Patterns, Medical Interventions, and Practice Implications

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Homozygous achondroplasia is widely considered perinatal lethal by the medical community. In this case series, we report two children from a single family with longer‐term survival. One child lived for 17 months and the other was 60 months at the time of publication.

Surface Properties of CeB6 and Challenges in Surface Preparation Revealed by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
The investigation of the Kondo lattice system CeB6${\rm CeB}_6$ by highly surface sensitive techniques is hampered by difficulties in preparing well‐ordered, atomically flat surfaces. The richness of possible surface terminations and their impact on spectroscopic STM results are discussed.

BRAKING PRECISION, THE CAR NUMBER IN THE TRAILER AND THE HUMP''S PERFORMANCE

open access: yesNauka ta progres transportu, 2009
A form of regression equations is determined, which adequately describe a correlation between the error of braking of cuts and the average speed of their collision on hump tracks, the average length of «window» and the average quantity of setting ...
