Direct near field electrospinning is used to produce very long helical polystyrene microfibers in water. The pitch length of helices can be controlled by changing the applied voltage, allowing the production of both microsprings and microchannels. Using a novel high frequency variable voltage electrospinning method we determined the helix formation speed and compared the experimental buckling frequency to theoretical expressions for viscous and elastic buckling. Finally we showed that the new method can be used to produce new periodic micro and nano structures  

In this study, the authors consider the designing of a new set of uniquely decodable codes for uncoded synchronous overloaded code division multiple access for the number of codes exceeding the assigned code length. For the construction, the proposed recursive method at iteration-k generates a matrix that can be classified into k orthogonal subsets of different dimensions. Out of them, all besides the largest (binary Hadamard) one are ternary in nature. There resides an inbuilt twin tree structured cross-correlation hierarchy that facilitates an advantageous balance between the auto and intergroup cross-correlation for the signatures in a subset. This opportunity is further leveraged by the...
