An efficient technique based on polynomial chaos to model the uncertainty in the resonance frequency of textile antennas due to bending [PDF]

, 2014
The generalized polynomial chaos theory is combined with a dedicated cavity model for curved textile antennas to statistically quantify variations in the antenna's resonance frequency under randomly varying bending conditions. The nonintrusive stochastic

Advancing Electronic Application of Coordination Solids: Enhancing Electron Transport and Device Integration via Surface‐Mounted MOFs (SURMOFs)

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The layer‐by‐layer (LbL) assembly of coordination solids, enabled by the surface‐mounted metal‐organic framework (SURMOF) platform, is on the cusp of generating the organic counterpart of the epitaxy of inorganics. The programmable and sequential SURMOF protocol, optimized by machine learning (ML), is suited for accessing high‐quality thin films of ...
