Characterization of dielectric charging in RF MEMS capacitive switches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
RF MEMS capacitive switches show great promise for use in wireless communication devices such as mobile phones, but the successful application of these switches is hindered by reliability concerns: charge injection in the dielectric layer (SiN) can cause

Hybrid Evolutionary‐Exact Optimization Method for the Bi‐Objective Design‐For‐Control of Water Distribution Networks

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This work considers the design‐for‐control of water distribution networks (WDN) for the joint optimization of performance and cost‐related objectives. In particular, we focus on the problem of optimizing the placement (design) and settings (control) of pressure reducing valves to minimize leakage at minimum cost.

From Permits to Samples: Addressing Key Challenges for High‐Quality Reference Genome Generation in Europe

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐quality reference genome assemblies have become essential for deepening our understanding of biodiversity, yet obtaining them for many species remains surprisingly challenging. Drawing on experiences from the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) community, we focus on permit and sample‐handling procedures leading up to nucleic acid ...

Liquid–liquid equilibrium studies of n‐butane–bitumen system with application to solvent‐aided in situ bitumen recovery

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 1, Page 425-441, January 2026.
Abstract Solvent‐assisted recovery methods have gained attention as an alternative to conventional thermal methods which have significant environmental drawbacks and high greenhouse gas emissions. Solvent‐assisted recovery methods can lead to various phase equilibria, such as vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) and liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE), under ...

Palagonitization of Volcanic Rocks in Polar Climates: The Case of Deception Island (Antarctica)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract A detailed study of palagonitization in rocks from Deception Island—one of Antarctica's most active volcanoes—has been performed to advance our understanding of this alteration process. A detailed petrographic (optical and SEM), mineralogical (XRD), and mineral and glass spot geochemistry (EDS and EMP) characterization has been conducted on ...

Smooth Interpolation Design with Consideration of Corner Tolerance Constraints for Robotics

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
This paper presents a novel method for interpolation design that ensures the continuity of a velocity profile and satisfies a specified corner tolerance constraint. The method uses an S-shaped profile to generate trajectories for each line segment in the
