Abstract Scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) enables high-resolution, noncontact, in situ characterization of specimens in liquid environments, providing simultaneous access to three-dimensional (3D) topographical, electrical, and mechanical properties. Despite its versati...

Sensing limit in blade tip timing measurement and underlying theory

Blade Tip Timing (BTT) is a promising non-contact technique for measuring blade vibrations in rotating machinery due to its minimal hardware intrusion and long service life. However, the inherent mismatch between the high vibration frequencies of the blades and the relatively low...

Disturbance growth analysis of pressure gradient transition flow with three-dimensional rough surfaces

This study employs direct numerical simulations to examine the laminar-to-turbulent transition over a flat plate subjected to a favourable–adverse pressure gradient, incorporating isotropic/anisotropic and negatively skewed rough surfaces. The rough surfaces are positioned upstre...

Psychological flexibility, neuroticism, and subjective well-being among medical students: a latent profile and mediation analysis

Medical students’ subjective well-being is closely associated with academic stress, psychological flexibility, and neuroticism; however, the heterogeneity of psychological flexibility and the potential indirect association through neuroticism remain underexplored. The present stu...

Statistical Theory of Multi-stage Newton Iteration Algorithm for Online Continual Learning

We focus on the critical challenge of handling non-stationary data streams in online continual learning environments, where constrained storage capacity prevents complete retention of historical data, leading to catastrophic forgetting during sequential task training. To more eff...
