Abstract We report sensing of single nanoparticles using disordered metallic nanoisland substrates supporting surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). Speckle patterns arising from leakage radiation of elastically scattered SPPs provides a unique fingerprint of the scattering microstructure at the sensor surface. Experimental measurements of the speckle decorrelation are presented and shown to enable detection of sorption of individual gold nanoparticles and polystyrene beads. Our approach is verified through bright-field and fluorescence imaging of particles adhering to the nanoisland substrate.

AbstractWe introduce the concept of alternate-edge-colourings for maps and study highly symmetric examples of such maps. Edge-biregular maps of type (k, l) occur as smooth normal quotients of a particular index two subgroup of $$T_{k,l}$$ T k , l , the full triangle group describing regular plane (k, l)-tessellations. The resulting colour-preserving automorphism groups can be generated by four involutions. We explore special cases when the usual four generators are not distinct involutions, with constructions relating these maps to fully regular maps. We classify edge-biregular maps when the supporting surface has non-negative Euler characteristic, and edge-biregular maps on arbitrary surfaces when the colour-preserving automorphism group is isomorphic to a dihedral group.

The problem of searching for complex roots of the dispersion equations of plasmon-polaritons along the boundaries of the layered structure-vacuum interface is considered. Such problems arise when determining proper waves along the interface of structures supporting surface and leakage waves, including plasmons and polaritons along metal, dielectric and other surfaces. For the numerical solution of the problem, we consider a modification of the method of simple iterations with a variable iteration parameter leading to a zero derivative of the right side of the equation at each step, i.e. convergent iterations, as well as a modification of the minimum residuals method. It is shown that the method of minimal residuals with linearization coincides with the method of simple iterations with the specified correction. Convergent methods of higher orders are considered. The results are demonstrated by examples, including complex solutions of dispersion equations for plasmon-polaritons. The advantage of the method over other methods of searching for complex roots in electrodynamics problems is the possibility of ordering the roots and constructing dispersion branches without discontinuities. This allows you to classify modes.

Abstract The object of the study is an exoskeleton of the lower extremities with a rigid structure of the power frame, which has 7 degrees of freedom. The movement of the exoskeleton in the sagittal plane is considered with the assumption of symmetrical movement of the right and left legs. The aim of the study is to develop a mathematical model of the dynamics of the exoskeleton, taking into account the forces of viscous friction in the joints. The equations of motion are obtained under the condition that there is no slippage of the points of contact with the supporting surface. Based on the results of numerical simulation, the control moments were obtained, which must be created by the drives to provide program movement.

Plastics of skin defects of the foot as a reconstructive operation has a twofold purpose: on the one hand, as a means of preserving the organ, and on the other, as a means of restoring its supporting function.

Vibration transmitted through the foot can lead to vibration white feet, resulting in blanching of the toes and the disruption of blood circulation. Controlled studies identifying industrial boot characteristics effective at attenuating vibration exposure are lacking. This work focused on the evaluation of vibration transmissibility of boot midsole materials and insoles across the range 10–200 Hz at different foot locations. Questionnaires were used to evaluate the comfort of each material. The materials were less effective at attenuating vibration transmitted to the toe region of the foot than the heel. Between 10 and 20 Hz, all midsole materials reduced the average vibration transmitted to the foot. The average transmissibility at the toes above 100 Hz was larger than 1, evidencing that none of the tested material protects the worker from vibration-related risks. There was a poor correlation between the vibration transmissibility and the subjective evaluation of comfort. Future research is needed to identify materials effective for protecting both the toe and the heel regions of the foot. Specific standards for shoe testing are required as well.

The paper describes the principle of choosing the optimal size and shape of the supporting element of a walking machine, provided that the maximum possible contact area with the supporting surface is provided for moving on snow or soils with a low bearing capacity. The study was carried out for an orthogonal walking propulsion device, but it can also be used for walking mechanisms of other types.

Fabrication of complete dentures (CDs) utilizing computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) methods has attracted a lot of attention. The purpose of this paper was to summarize current knowledge about digital CDs and the relevant technology, and to present the application of the new technology in a dental geriatrics case. Initially, some of the challenges regarding digitization of the oral mucosa as a supporting surface of the CDs’ intaglio surface are listed. Next, a brief introduction of the CAD software capabilities regarding CDs is presented. The latest CAM additive and subtractive techniques for CDs are following. Subsequently, the consecutive steps for the construction of a digital CD as part of the prosthodontic treatment of a 90-year-old ambulative female patient are presented. Finally, some considerations about the digital workflow in CD manufacturing are discussed. In conclusion, the new digital technology has clear advantages; however, implementation requires careful planning. The digital workflow is applicable and versatile.
