A Cuckoo Filter Modification Inspired by Bloom Filter

Probabilistic data structures are so popular in membership queries, network applications, and so on. Bloom Filter and Cuckoo Filter are two popular space efficient models that incorporate in set membership checking part of many important protocols. They are compact representation of data that use hash functions to randomize a set of items. Being able to store more elements while keeping a reaso...

Material design and structural color inspired by biomimetic approach.

Generation of structural color is one of the essential functions realized by living organisms, and its industrial reproduction can result in numerous applications. From this viewpoint, the mechanisms, materials, analytical methods and fabrication technologies of the structural color are reviewed in this paper. In particular, the basic principles of natural photonic materials, the ideas develope...

Dry friction of microstructured polymer surfaces inspired by snake skin

The microstructure investigated in this study was inspired by the anisotropic microornamentation of scales from the ventral body side of the California King Snake (Lampropeltis getula californiae). Frictional properties of snake-inspired microstructured polymer surface (SIMPS) made of epoxy resin were characterised in contact with a smooth glass ball by a microtribometer in two perpendicular di...
