When astronomers talk about directly imaging an exoplanet orbiting a faraway star, the analogy they most commonly use is ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to determine how big an earthquake may become just seconds after it begins. In a new ...

In the present study, we demonstrate the feasibility to reveal the numerical solution of the multi-dimensional wave equations. A simple semi-analytical meshless method was proposed to obtain the ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

In the wave-driven unmanned surface vehicles (WUSVs), oscillating-foils are the most straightforward and widely used wave energy conversion mechanism, like the wave glider. However, WUSVs usually sail ...

Mechanical metamaterials are an interesting platform to reproduce atomistic-scale phenomena at the macroscale and to exploit them to achieve additional functionalities. An interesting feature of many ...

Audio frequencies range from 20Hz to 20kHz but these frequencies are not heard in the same way. Frequencies below 20Hz and above 20kHz are very difficult to hear, while those not much more than 20Hz, ...

Electrodermal activity (EDA) recordings are widely used in experimental psychology to measure skin conductance responses (SCRs) that reflect sympathetic nervous system arousal. However, irregular ...
