Interdigital Sensors : Progress over the Last Two Decades / by Mukhopadhyay, Subhas Chandra, editor 180903, George, Boby, editor 643117, Roy, Joyanta Kumar, editor 643118, Islam, Tarikul, editor 643119

“…It presents theory, design, and practical realization of the IDT sensors working over wide frequency rage for scientific, industrial, and consumer applications. The IDT sensors have been widely investigated for wide range of sensing applications including agriculture, environmental monitoring, structural health monitoring, health care, food and beverage testing, testing of dielectric material, proximity sensing, microfluidic application, automatic dispensing system etc. …”

RoboTSP - a fast solution to the robotic task sequencing problem by Suárez-Ruiz, Francisco, Lembono, Teguh Santoso, Pham, Quang-Cuong

“…First, we propose a fast, near-optimal, algorithm to solve RTSP. The key to our approach is to exploit the classical distinction between task space and configuration space, which, surprisingly, has been so far overlooked in the RTSP literature. …”

Visible Range Plasmonic Modes on Topological Insulator Nanostructures by Dubrovkin, Alexander M., Adamo, Giorgio, Yin, Jun, Wang, Lan, Soci, Cesare, Wang, Qi Jie, Zheludev, Nikolay I.

“…Phase-resolved real-space imaging of localized plasmons in Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.8Se1.2 topological insulator nanostructures is performed by scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy. Dipolar and higher order surface plasmon modes with well-defined field amplitude and phase profiles are detected in the visible part of the spectrum.…”

A study on the snowing phenomenon in binary alloy solidification by Saffie, M.G.M., Tso, Chih Ping., Tan, F. L.

“…The snowing phenomenon has been observed in some studies where seed crystals formed near the bottom of the test cell during solidification are carried up flow above the mushy layer by thermo-solutal convection flow, and they fall down on it just like atmospheric snow occurring in nature. …”

Anomalous high-magnetic field electronic state of the nematic superconductors FeSe 1 − x S x by Bristow, M, Reiss, P, Haghighirad, A, Zajicek, Z, Singh, S, Wolf, T, Graf, D, Knafo, W, McCollam, A, Coldea, A

“…We find that the nematic state is dominated by a linear resistivity at low temperatures that evolves towards Fermi-liquid behavior, depending on the composition x and the impurity level. Near the nematic end point, we find an extended temperature regime with ∼ T 1.5 resistivity, different from the behavior found near an antiferromagnetic critical point. …”

Experimental investigation of fatigue in a cantilever energy harvesting beam by Avvari, Panduranga Vittal, Yang, Yaowen, Liu, Peiwen, Soh, Chee Kiong

“…This article brings forth an experimental investigation into the phenomenon of fatigue of a PEH cantilever beam. As there has been very little literature reported in this area, an effort has been made to scrutinize the damage due to fatigue in a linear vibrating cantilever PEH beam consisting of an aluminum substrate with a piezoelectric macro-fiber composite (MFC) patch attached near the root of the beam and a tip mass attached to the beam. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…</p> <br> <p>In Chapter 5, I focus on calving and flexure near the shelf edge. By using a viscoelastic flexure model, I investigate different mechanisms that cause flexure near the calving front, and how the flexure evolves due to viscous creep and leads to calving events.…”
