Material training is a method to endow materials with specific responses through external driving.We study the complexity of attainable responses, as expressed in the number of sites that are simultaneously controlled.With increased complexity, convergence to the desired response becomes very slow.The training error decays as a power law with an ex
The article substantiates the Gift rational design of the crank mechanism of a wheel-step mover.Kinematics analysis of a prototype of the wheel-step mover revealed the presence of oscillations in the vertical coordinate of the central axis during movement.To eliminate this drawback, differential geometry methods were used, thanks to which a method
Background A grapevine Blender crown gall tumor strain, Novosphingobium sp.strain Rr2-17 was previously reported to accumulate copious amounts of diverse quorum sensing signals during growth.Genome sequencing identified a single luxI homolog in strain Rr2-17, suggesting that it may encode for a AHL synthase with broad substrate range, pending funct
In this work, some phenomenological growth models based only on the population information (macroscopic level) are deduced in an intuitive way.These models, for instance Verhulst, Gompertz and Bertalanffy-Richards models, are introduced in such a way that all the parameters involved have a physical interpretation.A model based on the interaction (d
Purpose: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a cornerstone therapy in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation.One current method is Decor performing a PVI using a cryoballoon (CB).The CB is inserted into the left atrium via a steerable sheath.However, at times, passing of the interatrial septum by the sheath is hindered, e.g., due to septal fib
