By drop-casting conductive inks onto the soft 3D printed surfaces, strain sensors of spatially-varying thickness mimicking inherent surface undulation substrate are fabricated with a gauge factor 151 over linear range ε = 97%.

the interaction of magnesium hydrate at the phosphate oxygen atom of the pyrimidine nucleotides (cmp,ump,dtmp) were studied at the hartree-fock level theory. we used lanl2dz basis set for mg and 6-31g* basis set for atoms.the basis set superposition error (bsse) begins to converge for used method/basis set. the gauge-invariant atomic orbital (giao) method and the continuous-set-of-gauge-transfo...

A rain gauge network should serve general as well as specific purposes such as water supply, hydropowergeneration, flood forecasting, irrigation, and flood control. The level of accuracy a network can achieve depends onthe number and locations of gauges in the network. In this study, a rain gauge network was designed for Hormozganprovince in the south of Iran. Monthly rainfall totals from 124 r...

Objectives: An efficient, safe, affordable and easily accessible measuring instrument for quantitative assessment of bone prior to dental implant placement enables more accurate treatment planning. Costly imaging modalities are neither widely available, nor affordable for some patients. This study sought to assess the efficacy of a newly designed digital bone gauge for measurement of bone width...

USEFUL FEATURES Twin Duty Cycle EVA’s twin duty cycle (TDC) technology (Figure) provides a high cut rate of 16 000 cpm with a constant open duty cycle of 92%. It significantly reduces the time to complete a core vitrectomy when compared with the Associate (DORC) and other non-TDC machines. A complete core vitrectomy with the 23-gauge system and TDC technology takes an average of 3 to 4 minutes....

We construct a gauge-fixing procedure in the path integral for gravitational models with branes and boundaries. This procedure incorporates a set of gauge conditions which gauge away effectively decoupled diffeomorphisms acting in the (d + 1)-dimensional bulk and on the d-dimensional brane. The corresponding gauge-fixing factor in the path integral factorizes as a product of the bulk and brane ...

To explore the feasibility of radar-based extreme precipitation climatologies, prototype radar areal reduction factor (ARF) curves are developed and compared to those based on traditional rain gauge networks. For both the radar and gauge data, increasing the spatial density of observations has little influence on the ARF relationship. However, independently, considerable differences between rad...

The effective coupling of QCD is measured by using the gauge configurations produced by the MILC collaboration in which the Kogut Susskind (KS) fermion is incorporated and by using that produced by the QCDOC collaboration in which the domain wall fermion (DWF) is incorporated. We fix the gauge to the Landau gauge and to the Coulomb gauge. The infrared effective coupling in the Coulomb gauge agr...

We investigate the efficiency of a gauge invariant input to neural network for path optimization method. While with completely gauge-fixed link-variable has successfully tamed sign problem in simple theory, does not work well when degrees freedom remain. propose employ input, such as plaquette, overcome this problem. The is evaluated 2-dimensional $U(1)$ theory complex coupling. average phase f...

The problem of preserving gauge invariance in the calculations involving unstable particles is well known since several years [1–4] . It is connected with the fact that the use of a width (e.g. iΓM) in the denominator of an s-channel unstable boson propagator is necessary to prevent divergences at p = M, but it is in fact an effective way of including only a part of higher order corrections, an...
