Review of efficient surrogate infill sampling criteria with constraint handling

, 2010
This paper discusses the benefits of different infill sampling criteria used in surrogate-model-based constrained global optimization. Here surrogate models are used to approximate both the objective and constraint functions with the assumption that ...

An Improved Surrogate Constraints Method for Separable Nonlinear Integer Programming

An Improved Surrogate Constraints Method for Separable Nonlinear Integer Programming
An improved surrogate constraints method for solving separable nonlinear integer programming problems with multiple constraints is presented. The surrogate constraints method is very effective in solving problems with multiple constraints. The method solves a succession of surrogate constraints problems having a single constraint instead of the ...

Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

Conformational Switching of Proteins on Material Surfaces Enabled by Peptide‐Oriented Adsorption

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Responsive biointerfaces could be achieved using conformationally responsive proteins; however, their interconversion can be lost upon surface adsorption. Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation a Au binding peptide into calmodulin allows for binding control on Au wherein the protein retains conformational switching. This capability was confirmed

An Edible Chitosan‐Based Acoustic Sensor for Sound‐Responsive Actuation in Edible Robots

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an edible acoustic sensor for robotic food and edible robotics. Built from a chitosan piezoelectric film between gold electrodes, the sensor enables acoustic communication through ON/OFF keying. Integrated into an edible robot with pneumatically actuated arms and neck, it responds to high‐frequency tones.
