We study the thermodynamic and structural properties of a simple, one-patch fluid model using the reference hypernetted-chain (RHNC) integral equation and specialized Monte Carlo simulations. In this model, the interacting particles are hard spheres, each of which carries a single identical, arbitrarily oriented and attractive circular patch on its surface; two spheres attract via a simple squa...

Although adaptivity, the ability to adapt, is an important property of complex computing systems, so far little thought has been given to its evaluation. In this paper we propose a framework and methodology for the definition of benefit-based adaptivity metrics. The metrics thus defined allow an informed choice between systems based on their adaptivity to be made. We demonstrate application of ...

We are developing a novel interconnection method to form reliable joints between truly stretchable electrode mounts and rigid substrates. This is needed as the electrodes must be connected to implanted electronics if they are to be used for long term implantation, and the components are most often mounted on a rigid substrate and protected within a solid enclosure. In this paper we describe the...
