We consider the problem of designing trajectory tracking feedback control laws for La- grangian mechanical systems in a Riemannian geometric framework. Classical nonlinear control techniques that rely on Euclidean ...

Photoacoustic imaging is a hybrid biomedical imaging technique combining optical ab- sorption contrast with ultrasonic resolution. It is a non-invasive technique that is scalable to reveal structural, functional, and ...

Organic photovoltaics is a fast-developing technology and has the potential to revolutionize the energy market. In the recent years, high photoconversion efficiency has been achieved through continuous efforts on design ...

The multiferroics are an important class of multifunctional material which simultaneously possess spontaneous ferroelectric polarization and magnetic ordering. If there exists a coupling between the ferroelectricity and ...

Flexible Electronics is a multi-disciplinary domain that creates intersections among elec- tronics, materials-science, mechanics, packaging, sensor-design, etc., to build exible / stretchable / conformal electronic ...

Optical Frequency Combs (OFC) are laser sources that consist of discrete, equally spaced lines in frequency space, have found extensive use in metrology, spectroscopy, sensing and optical communications. Generation of ...

With Dennard Scaling phasing out in the mid-2000s, architectural scaling and hardware specialization take centre stage to provide performance bene fits with already stalling Moore's law. An outcome from this hardware ...

Creatinine is an important biomarker for evaluating the renal function and its concentration in serum can be utilized for early detection of kidney disease, thyroid disorders, and muscular dystrophy. Accurate, reliable, ...

Over the past few decades, applications of high-power fiber laser in the area of material processing, medicine, defence, high precision micro-machining etc., is rapidly increasing. The primary reason behind thriving ...

Life forms as we know emerged due to unique mechanical and transport properties exhibited by Soft Materials at interface. For instance, the interior of a cell is separated from outside environment by lipid bilayer which ...
