The response of biological phantoms against high velocity impact is actively sought for applications in defense, space, soft robotics and sensing.Towards this end, we study the ballistic response of silicone based skin simulant against fragment impact.Using a pneumatic gas gun setup, six chisel-nosed and three regular shaped (sphere, cylinder, and
The contribution is devoted to the issue of hybrid threats in connection with the level of education achieved.Hybrid threats represent coordinated activities by which different interest groups try to influence people in other areas.The research subjects are the respondents divided according to their levels of education.Data for the research were co
Recent advances in atmospheric transport model inversions could significantly reduce uncertainties in land carbon uptake through the assimilation of CO2 concentration measurements at weekly and shorter timescales.The potential of these measurements for reducing biases in estimated land carbon sinks depends on the strength of covariation between sur
Replicative aging of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an established model system for eukaryotic cellular aging.A limitation in yeast lifespan studies has been the difficulty of separating old cells from big boys hybrid shorts young cells in large quantities.We engineered a new platform, the Miniature-chemostat Aging Device (MAD), that enables purificat
Abstract Melt electrowriting (MEW) is an emerging high-resolution 3D printing technology used in biomedical engineering, regenerative medicine, and soft robotics.Its transition from academia to industry faces challenges such as slow experimentation, low printing throughput, poor reproducibility, and user-dependent operation, largely due to the nonl
