TL;DR: The X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer (XIPE) as discussed by the authors is a mission dedicated to Xray Astronomy which is in a competitive phase A as fourth medium size mission of ESA (M4).
Abstract: XIPE, the X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer, is a mission dedicated to X-ray Astronomy. At the time of writing XIPE is in a competitive phase A as fourth medium size mission of ESA (M4). It promises to reopen the polarimetry window in high energy Astrophysics after more than 4 decades thanks to a detector that efficiently exploits the photoelectric effect and to X-ray optics with large effective area. XIPE uniqueness is time-spectrally-spatially- resolved X-ray polarimetry as a breakthrough in high energy astrophysics and fundamental physics. Indeed the payload consists of three Gas Pixel Detectors at the focus of three X-ray optics with a total effective area larger than one XMM mirror but with a low weight. The payload is compatible with the fairing of the Vega launcher. XIPE is designed as an observatory for X-ray astronomers with 75 % of the time dedicated to a Guest Observer competitive program and it is organized as a consortium across Europe with main contributions from Italy, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Poland, Sweden.

TL;DR: Nanoporous polymeric membranes with a high density of 0.5 nm pores are fabricated with an excellent balance between selectivity and permeability of ions and demonstrate their exceptional performance for ion sieving.
Abstract: The great potential of nanoporous membranes for water filtration and chemical separation has been challenged by the trade-off between selectivity and permeability. Here we report on nanoporous polymer membranes with an excellent balance between selectivity and permeability of ions. Our membranes are fabricated by irradiating 2-μm-thick polyethylene terephthalate Lumirror® films with GeV heavy ions followed by ultraviolet exposure. These membranes show a high transport rate of K+ ions of up to 14 mol h−1 m−2 and a selectivity of alkali metal ions over heavy metal ions of >500. Combining transport experiments and molecular dynamics simulations with a polymeric nanopore model, we demonstrate that the high permeability is attributable to the presence of nanopores with a radius of ~0.5 nm and a density of up to 5 × 1010 cm−2, and the selectivity is ascribed to the interaction between the partially dehydrated ions and the negatively charged nanopore wall.

TL;DR: In this article, shear correction factors for arbitrary shaped beam cross-sections are calculated based on the equations of linear elasticity and further assumptions for the stress field, and a variational formulation is developed.
Abstract: In this paper shear correction factors for arbitrary shaped beam cross-sections are calculated. Based on the equations of linear elasticity and further assumptions for the stress field the boundary value problem and a variational formulation are developed. The shear stresses are obtained from derivatives of the warping function. The developed element formulation can easily be implemented in a standard finite element program. Continuity conditions which occur for multiple connected domains are automatically fulfilled.

TL;DR: This paper presents a review on design issues and solutions found in active lower limb prostheses based on a systematic literature search with a methodical search strategy.
Abstract: This paper presents a review on design issues and solutions found in active lower limb prostheses. This review is based on a systematic literature search with a methodical search strategy. The search was carried out across four major technical databases and the retrieved records were screened for their relevance. A total of 21 different active prostheses, including 8 above-knee, 9 below-knee and 4 combined knee-ankle prostheses were identified. While an active prosthesis may help to restore the functional performance of an amputee, the requirements regarding the actuation unit as well as for the control system are high and the development becomes a challenging task. Regarding mechanical design and the actuation unit high force/torque delivery, high efficiency, low size and low weight are conflicting goals. The actuation principle and variable impedance actuators are discussed. The control system is paramount for a “natural functioning” of the prosthesis. The control system has to enable locomotion and should react to the amputee’s intent. For this, multi-level control approaches are reviewed.
