Inverse design of Bézier curve-based mechanical metamaterials with programmable negative thermal expansion and negative Poisson's ratio a data augmented deep autoencoder.

Controlling stress and deformation induced by thermo-mechanical stimulation in high-precision mechanical systems can be achieved by mechanical metamaterials (MM) exhibiting negative thermal expansion (NTE) and negative Poisson's ratio (NPR). However, the inverse design of MM exhibiting a wide range of arbitrary target NTEs and NPRs is a challenging task due to the low design flexibility of analytical methods and parametric studies based on numerical simulation. In this study, we propose Bézier curve-based programmable chiral mechanical metamaterials (BPCMs) and a deep autoencoder-based inverse design model (DAIM) for the inverse design of BPCMs.

Effect of Volatile Organic Chemicals in Linné on Blood Pressure and Electroencephalogram.

This study identified the volatile organic compounds in the essential oils that are extracted from Linné ( Linné) and investigated the effects of the inhalation of these compounds. We detected a total of 41 volatile organic compounds, including 32 hydrocarbons, four acids, three alcohols, two ketones, and one aldehyde. In a sniffing test, seven types of volatile organic compounds were identified.

Supported ionic liquid catalyst (Pd-SILC) for highly efficient and recyclable Suzuki-Miyaura reaction.

Highly efficient Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl halides with arylboronic acid was realized in 50% aqueous ethanol at room temperature employing Pd(OAc)(2) immobilized in diethylaminopropylated (NDEAP) alumina pores with the aid of [bmim]PF(6), which enabled recycle use up to five times in 95% average yield and turnover number of two million.
