The study of asteroids, its composition and trajectories, has been a persistent interest in the space exploration community. In addition, they are also perceived as a great threat to life on Earth, considering the possibility of an impact with our planet. A considerable portion, around 15%, of the asteroid population are believed to be part of a double or triple asteroid system.

The topologically engineered complex Schwarzites architecture has been used to build novel and unique structural components with a high specific strength. The mechanical properties of these building blocks can be further tuned, reinforcing with stronger and high surface area architecture. In the current work, we have built six different Schwarzites structures with multiple interlocked layers, which we named architecturally interlocked petal-schwarzites (AIPS). These complex structures are 3D printed into macroscopic dimensions and compressed using uniaxial compression. The experimental results show a strong dependency of mechanical response on the number of layers and topology of the layers. Fully atomistic molecular dynamics compressive simulations were also carried out, and the results are in good agreement with experimental observations. They can explain the underlying AIPS mechanism of high specific strength and energy absorption. The proposed approach opens a new perspective on developing new 3D-printed materials with tunable and enhanced mechanical properties., 22 pages and 9 figures

The formation of our Solar System and planetary defense strategies are among the priorities to be investigated in the next years by the space science community. As in-situ missions to small bodies (as comets and asteroids) are options to conduct these investigations, this paper proposes a combination of methodologies to produce low-cost transfers to near-earth asteroids (NEAs). Low-cost trajectories derived from retrograde periodic orbits around $${L}_{1}$$ L 1 are taken as a starting point for the escape of the Earth-Moon system and, as the vehicle exits the sphere of influence of Earth, the deployment of an adjustable solar sail guarantees the interception of the target in a predetermined position and time of flight. Different sail loadings (164, 61 and 30 g/m2) are tested and a case study to the NEA 65,803 Didymos is presented. The results show economies in the velocity increments required by the mission up to 8.48%, although a longer time of flight might be needed depending on the sail loading.

In this work, we propose a new methodology for obtaining 3D carbon allotrope structures from 2D ones through topological mapping. The idea is to select a 3D target structure and 'slice' it along different structural directions, creating a series of 2D structures. As a proof of concept, we chose the Tubulane structure 12-hexa(3,3) as a target. Tubulanes are 3D carbon allotropes based on cross-linked carbon nanotubes. One of obtained 2D 'sliced' structures was mapped into the biphenylene carbon (BPC). We showed that compressing BPC along different directions can generate not only the target Tubulane 12-hexa(3,3) but at least two other structures, bcc-C6 and an unreported member of the Tubulane family, which we called Tubulane X. The methodology proposed here is completely general, it can be used coupled with any quantum method. Considering that new 2D carbon allotropes, such as the biphenylene carbon network, which is closely related to BPC, have been recently synthesized, the approach proposed here opens new perspectives to obtain new 3D carbon allotropes from 2D structures.

Hydrogen is a promising element for applications in new energy sources like fuel cells. One key issue for such applications is storing hydrogen. And, to improve storage capacity, understanding the interaction mechanism between hydrogen and possible storage materials is critical. This work uses DFT simulations to comprehensively investigate the adsorption mechanism of H/H$_2$ on the 2D metallic porphyrins with one transition metal in its center. Our results suggest that the mechanism for adsorption of H (H$_2$) is chemisorption (physisorption). The maximum adsorption energy for atomic hydrogen was $-3.7$ eV for 2D porphyrins embedded with vanadium or chromium atoms. Our results also revealed charge transfer of up $-0.43$ e to chemisorbed H atoms. In contrast, the maximum adsorption energy calculated for molecular hydrogen was $-122.5$ meV for 2D porphyrins embedded with scandium atoms. Furthermore, charge transfer was minimal for physisorption. Finally, we also determined that uniaxial strain has a minimal effect on the adsorption properties of 2D metallic porphyrins.

This is the first time a comprehensive list of the stink bugs from Colombia is presented, providing a baseline to develop further studies in this group of true bugs.

Additive manufacturing allows to produce parts with complex geometries is an essential tool in materials science. Schwarzites is a class of carbon allotropes with interesting mechanical properties. However, most of the schwarzite studies are theoretical until now because the synthesis of large schwarzite fragments remains elusive. In this work, we have carried out molecular dynamics simulations, and extensive experimental tests of 3D printed schwarzites to study their mechanical behavior. Our results show that this behavior does not strongly depend on printed used material, model size, or the number of structural unit cells. We also observed a strong correlation between the stress‐strain curves of 3D printed and the ones obtained from fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Both results show the same trends for almost all investigated schwarzites, suggesting that topological features and scale‐size invariant dominate some deformation mechanisms. Our results further validate the use of atomic models of materials with complex geometries that are impractical or very difficult to synthesize, translated into macro models that can be 3D printed, and offer an innovative engineered approach to produce new materials with tunable mechanical behavior.

This article presents a quasi-load insensitive (QLI) Doherty power amplifier (DPA). The proposed theory makes the amplifier load insensitive in terms of output power, while its efficiency is slightly degraded for complex loads. The load insensitiveness is achieved by dynamically changing the supply voltages ( ${V_{DD}}$ ) and the input power splitting for both the carrier and peaking transistors. The optimal, load-dependent, ${V_{DD}}$ values are theoretically derived from back-off (BO) and full power conditions using load line theory. The optimal input excitation signals for the carrier and peaking devices are also derived for these variable ${V_{DD}}$ conditions. A 3.6-GHz QLI DPA was designed, and a complete system, composed of the DPA output stage, a two-channel medium power driver, an adaptive input driving stage, and a load sensing system, was implemented. The laboratory measurements have been performed for loads distributed inside a 2.0 maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) circle and show an output power variation between 43.8 and 42.6 dBm and a BO efficiency between 50% and 35%. Under modulated signal excitation, for the worst case loads, the peak output power capability of the DPA is improved from 41.7 to 43.1 dBm, and the average efficiency is increased from 32.6% to 43%.

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) allowed to precisely identify the substrate in scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT). New software has been developed to define the 3D scar and corridors to help VT ablation by integrating the scar and electroanatomical mapping (EAM). The objective of this study is to evaluate the results of VT ablation aided by the integration of EAM and CMR software processed scar.We selected patients that underwent VT ablation with the integration of EAM and CMR processed using ADAS software and imported to the CARTO system using VTK file format.From 2019 to 2021, eight patients (mean age 63 ± 4.4, 62.5% male; EF 47 ± 12%) underwent CMR-aided VT ablation. Mean procedural time was 281 ± 77 min. There was of 9 ± 4.4 epicardial and 7.9 ± 4.3 endocardial bulls eye segments with at least 2 g of border zone or core scar. In a median follow-up time of 532 days (Q1: 284, Q3: 688), three patients (37.5%) presented VT recurrence, all three underwent a second procedure, with no VT recurrence on the follow-up. No patient died in the follow-up.CMR aided is ablation is feasible and effective in patients with scar related VT.

Schwarzites are porous structures that present negative Gaussian curvatures. Although initially proposed for carbon, in principle, schwarzites of other elements are possible. In this work, we have carried out a detailed investigation of the effect of element composition (C, Ge, Si, SiC, and BN) on the structural, electronic and optical properties of a gyroid schwarzite structure, the so-called G688. The DFT simulations were carried out using the well-known SIESTA code. Our results showed that formation energy values are in similar range of other related allotrope structures and are thermally stable (up to 1000~K). From the electronic analyses, our results indicate that all structures, except the carbon one, present semiconductor characteristics. From the optical properties, except for the infrared region where only silicon and germanium show some absorption, the other structures exhibit optical activity only in the visible and ultra-violet regions, and all of them have large refractive index values. For reflectivity, except for Si and Ge schwarzites that reflect almost 40\% of light, the other schwarzites exhibit low reflectivity. These characteristics make them good candidates for optoelectronic applications, such as infrared/ultraviolet absorbers, and ultraviolet blockers.

In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of insecticides sprayed by contact as well as seeds treatment for controlling the burrower bug Cyrtomenus mirabilis (Perti, 1830) (Hemiptera: Cydnidae) under laboratory conditions. In the first experiment, the insecticides were sprayed onto the insects (direct contact). Insect mortality evaluation started 24h after insecticide application and repeated every two days up to 20 days. In the second experiment, peanut seeds were treated with insecticides. The mortality of insects was evaluated at 10, 15, and 20 days after installation. The mixture of fipronil and alpha-cypermethrin in direct contact was the most efficient treatment to control nymphs and adults of C. mirabilis. Regarding the seed treatment, fipronil was the most efficient for controlling adults of C. mirabilis while for nymphs, all insecticides were highly effective.

Pentatomidae is the third largest family of true bugs, comprising over 40 tribes. Few tribes have been studied in a phylogenetic context, and none of them have been examined using molecular data. Moreover, little is known about the evolution of key morphological characters widely used in taxonomic and phylogenetic studies at multiple levels. Here, we conduct a phylogenetic study of the tribe Chlorocorini (Pentatominae) combining 69 morphological characters and five DNA loci. We use the inferred phylogeny to reconstruct the evolution of key morphological characters such as the spined humeral angles of the pronotum, a dorsal projection on the apices of the femora and characters of male genitalia. We provide solid evidence that the tribe as currently recognized is not monophyletic based both on DNA and morphological data. The generaArveliusSpinola andEludocorisThomas were consistently placed outside of the Chlorocorini, while the remaining genera were found to form a monophyletic group. We also show that nearly all morphological diagnostic characters for the tribe are homoplastic. The only exception is the development of the hypandrium, which, contrary to expectations for genital traits, showed the slowest evolutionary rates. In contrast, the most rapidly evolving trait is the length of the ostiolar ruga, which may be attributed to selection favoring anti-predatory behavior and other functions of its associated scent glands. Lastly, we also provide a preliminary glimpse of the main phylogenetic relationships within the Pentatomidae, which indicates that most of the included subfamilies and tribes are not monophyletic. Our results suggest that the current subfamily-level classification of Pentatomidae is not adequate to reflect its evolutionary history, and we urge for a more complete phylogeny of the family.

This article presents an automatic system that is able to dynamically restore the output power capability of a power amplifier (PA) under variable loading scenarios. This is accomplished by dynamically adapting the supply voltage, ${V_{\mathrm{ DD}}}$ , of the PA according to the developed theoretical model. To dynamically vary ${V_{\mathrm{ DD}}}$ , a GaN dc–dc converter, based on the commercial EPC 9067 Demo Board, was used. The load is measured using an impedance meter, which is based on the slotted line principle and was specifically designed for low insertion loss. This impedance meter also generates a load-dependent pulsewidth modulated signal that controls the dc–dc converter switching, regulating ${V_{\mathrm{ DD}}}$ . The prototype was designed for 3.55 GHz and tested with CW and modulated signal excitations, being able to compensate the output power degradation under variable loading conditions inside a 2.1 voltage standing wave ratio circle. For a constant gain compression level, the average efficiency degradation over the tested range of impedances is less than 5%, and the average power improvement is 0.7 dB. The worst case measured output power of the PA is compensated from 37.0 to 39.9 dBm, which corresponds to a 2.9 dB improvement. Using a modulated signal excitation, the peak envelope power, which is compressed by almost 3 dB without ${V_{\mathrm{ DD}}}$ compensation, is restored, and the average output power is improved by 0.6 dB. The system can track the load and adjust ${V_{\mathrm{ DD}}}$ with a worst case step-up delay of 25 ms.

This paper presents a compact solution for impedance calculation obtained from low phase resolution stationary wave measurements, for RF power systems operating in load varying scenarios. The implemented system is based on a bi-directional coupler and makes use of the stationary wave periodicity, which is synthesized and measured via a digital phase shifter, a power combiner, and an envelope detector, in a specific arrangement. Instead of sampling a transmission line at various spatial points (sampled line architectures), both incident and reflected waves are sampled at one specific position, the stationary wave is obtained by sweeping the incident or reflected waves' phase, mimicking the slotted line principle and, from there, the impedance is obtained using a new signal processing algorithm that is now presented. Taking advantage of the developed technique, this can be done for only three phase shifter states, making the measurement fast and accurate. This compact measurement solution can compute the impedance of both real and complex loads inside a 2.1 voltage standing wave ratio circle with high accuracy (-28.8 dB) at a rate of 1 kHz and is appropriate for high power systems due to its simple architecture and very low total losses (0.075 dB).
