By the past two decades IPMCs have been intensively studied because of their special capabilities for actuation and sensing.This paper presents a theoretical physics based model for analyzing the behavior of IPMC sensors in fluid environments. The mechanical vibration of the IPMC strip is described by the classical Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The model also takes in to account the physical pro...

we give some new results on sparse signal recovery in the presence of noise, forweighted spaces. traditionally, were used dictionaries that have the norm equal to 1, but, forrandom dictionaries this condition is rarely satised. moreover, we give better estimationsthen the ones given recently by cai, wang and xu.

The Institute of Food Technologists has issued this Scientific Status Summary to provide readers with a tutorial on biofilms, their purposeful mechanism of interaction (quorum sensing), and recent findings on how to inhibit their formation.

Keeping a pace with Quorum sensing, analyzing communication shows the close co-evolution of fungi with organisms present in their environment giving insights into multispecies communication. Subsequently, many examples of cell density dependent regulation by extracellular factors have been found in diverse microorganisms. The widespread incidence of diverse quorum-sensing systems strongly sugge...

Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) images are often used for target classification and recognition applications. However, conventional 2D images do not provide the height information about the scattering centers. In this paper, an interferometric ISAR imaging method based on compressive sensing (CS) is proposed that is able to estimate the scatterering centres heights. The interferometric ...
