We report a numerical study of saddles properties of the potential energy landscape for soft spheres with different softness, i.e. different power n of the interparticle repulsive potential. We find that saddle-based quantities rescale into master curves once energies and temperatures are scaled by mode-coupling temperature TMCT , confirming and generalizing previous findings obtained for Lenna...

We consider supersymmetry breaking due to a Scherk-Schwarz twist or localized mass terms in 6d N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory compactified on the orbifold T /Z2. We show that the Scherk-Schwarz breaking in 6d is equivalent to the localized breaking with mass terms along the lines in extra dimensions. In the presence of the considered supersymmetry breaking, we find that there arises a finite...

We prove a full completeness theorem for multiplicative-additive linear logic (i.e. MALL) using a double gluing construction applied to Ehrhard’s ∗-autonomous category of hypercoherences. This is the first non-game-theoretic full completeness theorem for this fragment. Our main result is that every dinatural transformation between definable functors arises from the denotation of a cut-free MALL...

| Many applications in teleoperation and virtual reality call for the implementation of e ective means of displaying to the human operator information on the softness and other mechanical properties of objects being touched. The ability of humans to detect softness of di erent objects by tactual exploration is intimately related to both kinesthetic and cutaneous perception, and haptic displays ...

Polysiloxanes, which can add high softness and lubricity to treated textiles, have been proposed as softening post-finishing agents for fabric. However, the hydrophobicity of the finished fabric is not satisfactory. In this work, long-chain fluoroalkyl acrylate was used to modify the polysiloxane, aimed at improving hydrophobicity of the finished fabric and retaining its softness simultaneously...

Contact interactions between the hand and handle, such as the contact surface softness and contact surface curvature, will affect both physical effort and musculoskeletal fatigue, thereby the comfort and safety of power tool operations. Previous models of hand gripping can be categorized into two groups: multi-body dynamic models and finite element (FE) models. The goal of the current study is ...

A combination of photocatalytic oxidation experiments and quantum mechanical calculations was used in order to describe the mechanism and the nature of the photocatalytic oxidation reactions of dinitronaphthalane isomers and interprete their reactivities within the framework of the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The photocatalytic oxidation reactions of three dinitronaphthalene isomers, 1,3-d...

Softness is one of the essential properties hygiene tissue products. Reliably measuring it utmost importance to ensure balance between customer expectations and cost-effective production. This study presents a method for assessing softness by analyzing acoustic emissions produced while tearing specimen. The aim was train neural network models using corrected results human panel tests as ground ...

Chemical and structural complexity of bacterial cell surfaces complicate accurate quantification of cell surfaces properties. The presence of fibrils, fimbriae or other surface appendages on bacterial cell surfaces largely influence those properties and would therefore play a major function in interfacial phenomena as aggregation and adhesion. The electrophoretic softness and fixed charge densi...
