Superresolution underwater acoustics

open access: yes, 2018
We explore the application of some recent results in exponential analysis and sparse interpolation to underwater acoustics, in a joint effort from marine engineers and computational mathematicians.

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

An improved hybrid indoor positioning system based on surface tessellation artificial neural network

open access: yesMeasurement + Control, 2020
In indoor environments, accurate location or positioning becomes an essential requirement, driven by the need for autonomous moving devices, or to identify the position of people in large spaces. Single technology schemes which use WiFi and Bluetooth are

Guiding and Manipulating Light Fields in Microstructured Liquid Crystals

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in guided‐wave optics enabled by microstructured liquid crystal (LC) devices, covering their fundamental material properties, key degree of freedom for dynamic light field manipulations. The advances of linear guided‐wave optics, nonlinear‐optics with spatial optical solitons, and microlasers in LC‐based devices ...

Bubble acoustics: from whales to other worlds

open access: yes, 2014
Gas bubbles in liquids have an extraordinary ability to interact with sound fields. They are potent generators, absorbers, and scatterers of sound, and can have a profound effect upon the sound speed (changing it on subsecond timescales by a factor of 2 ...

Modeling arrival scattering due to surface roughness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Signal scattering due to surface roughness constitutes one of the most important modeling problems in underwater acoustics when dealing with signal processing at large frequencies (i.e. above 1 kHz).

Comprehensive DFT Analysis of FeSi and RhSi: Structural Stability, Electronic Contrast and Transport‐Optical Responses

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This comprehensive density functional theory analysis investigates the structural, electronic, optical, mechanical, and thermoelectric properties of FeSi, c‐RhSi, and o‐RhSi. Results reveal distinct electronic and optical contrasts among the materials.

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Studies into the detection of buried objects (particularly optical fibres) in saturated sediment. Part 2: design and commissioning of test tank

open access: yes, 2007
This report is the second in a series of five, designed to investigate the detection oftargets buried in saturated sediment, primarily through acoustical or acoustics-relatedmethods.
