Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

Directional Control of a Platoon of Vehicles for Comfort Specification by Considering Parasitic Time Delays and Lags

open access: yesPromet (Zagreb), 2013
The problem of controlling a string of vehicles moving in one dimension is considered so that they all follow a lead vehicle with a constant spacing between successive vehicles.

On the stability of string theory vacua

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
Vacuum compactifications may suffer from instabilities under small perturbations or tunnel effects; both are difficult to analyze. In this paper we consider the issue from a higher-dimensional perspective.

The Dirac Sea Contribution To The Energy Of An Electroweak String [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We present a systematic determination of the order hbar fermionic energy shift when an electroweak string is perturbed. We show that the combined effect of zero modes, bound states and continuum states is to lower the total fermionic ground state energy ...

Swelling‐Programmed Topographical Guidance for Dynamic Spheroid Self‐Assembly via a Mechanochemical Hydrogel Niche

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A swelling‐programmed micropatterned hydrogel guides adherent cells through a controlled transition from cell–matrix anchoring to cadherin‐mediated cell–cell compaction, enabling rapid assembly of high‐viability spheroids with defined size and morphology.

Spacing Policies for Adaptive Cruise Control: A Survey

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems are designed to provide longitudinal assistance for drivers to enhance safety and reduce workload. As the core of all ACC control algorithms, the spacing policy plays a crucial role in various aspects.

Influence of bit size on stability bottom drill column balance when drilling a horizontal well

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Нефть и газ, 2021
The article raises the question that if you change the bit type, the "critical length" of the lower part of the drill string change too. For the first time, the issue of the stability of the lower part of the drill string when drilling a horizontal ...

Coupled currents in cosmic strings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We first examine the microstructure of a cosmic string endowed with two simple Abelian currents. This microstructure depends on two state parameters. We then provide the macroscopic description of such a string and show that it depends on an additional ...

Interfacial Adsorption Engineering Enables a Highly Utilized Zinc Anode With 99.9% Coulombic Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
When hydrated zinc ions are deposited onto Cu substrates at practical current densities, the modified Cu enables simultaneously compact zinc growth and suppressed hydrogen evolution. This regulatory effect originates from the superior adsorption of the modified Cu interface, which enhances zincophilicity and the hydrogen desorption barrier, thereby ...

A Robust String-Stable Spacing Policy for ACC-Based Vehicle Platoons Using Adaptive Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Control

open access: yesIEEE Access
Ensuring string stability in adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems is essential to prevent disturbance amplification in vehicle platoons. Conventional speed-dependent spacing policies, such as the constant time-gap (CTG) policy, are widely adopted to ...
