Sequential metamaterials with alternating Poisson’s ratios by Farzaneh, Amin, Pawar, Nikhil, Portela, Carlos M., Hopkins, Jonathan B.

“…Herein, both periodic and graded metamaterials are introduced that leverage principles of differential stiffness and self-contact to passively achieve sequential deformations, which manifest as user-specified alternating Poisson’s ratios. An analytical approach is provided with a complementary software tool that enables the design of such materials in two- and three-dimensions. …”

Physical layer security in emerging wireless communication systems by Wang, Wei

“…The growing computational capability of the eavesdropper (Eve) and more and more complicated secure key management in large scale and heterogeneous networks, pose more and more stringent requirement to the cryptographic protocols. As a new design paradigm, physical layer security has been recognised as a promising solution to enhance the security of wireless links relying on the channel properties and advanced signal processing, and can act as either an alternative or a complementary solution to the conventional cryptographic methods. …”

Combining detection dogs and camera traps improves minimally-invasive population monitoring for the cheetah, an elusive and rare large carnivore by Verschueren, S, Hofmann, T, Schmidt-Küntzel, A, Kakove, M, Munyandi, B, Bauer, H, Balkenhol, N, Leirs, H, Neumann, S, Cristescu, B, Marker, L

“…Vehicular searches to identify cheetah marking sites appear to be an efficient alternative or complementary approach (3.8/100km), if a road network is available and marking sites are visually distinguishable. …”
