Boundary theories of critical matchgate tensor networks by Jahn, Alexander, Gluza, Marek, Verhoeven, Charlotte, Singh, Sukhbinder, Eisert, Jens

“…We show that these Hamiltonians exhibit multi-scale quasiperiodic symmetries captured by an analytical toy model based on layers of the hyperbolic lattice, breaking the conformal symmetries of the critical Ising model in a controlled manner. …”

Geometric optimization of double layered microchannel with grooves array for enabling nanoparticle manipulation by Zhang, Boran, Wu, Wenshuai, Zhao, Qianbin, Yan, Sheng

“…Based on the simulating calculation, the proposed optimized design of microchannel can remarkably improve the manipulating performance breaking through the manipulating limitation of manipulatable microparticle size, from microscale (4-10 μm) into nanoscale (500-800 nm), compared with the conventional microchannel.…”

Super-resolution photoacoustic microscopy using a localized near-field of a plasmonic nanoaperture : a three-dimensional simulation study by Park, Byullee, Lee, Hongki, Upputuri, Paul Kumar, Pramanik, Manojit, Kim, Donghyun, Kim, Chulhong

“…The lateral resolution of the conventional photoacoustic microscopy is limited to ~200 nm by diffraction limit, therefore reducing the lateral resolution is a major research impetus. Our approach to breaking resolution limit is to use laser pulses of extremely small spot size as a light source. …”

Effects of hybrid additive of ethanol-butanol and magnetite nanoparticle on emission and performance of diesel engine fueled with diesel/biodiesel blends by Sule, Ahmed, Abdul Latiff, Zulkainain, Abas, Mohammed Azman, Mohammed Perang, Mohammed Rozi, Veza, Ibham, Anthony, Opia Chukwunonso

“…The engine test results indicated that the addition of magnetite nanoparticles in conjunction with the two biofuels significantly reduced brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) up to 15.68% (8.8 gm/kW-hr) compared with B100 (10.4 gm/kW-hr) at peak brake power. The break thermal efficiency (BTE) also improved by 4.26% and 9.71% at tested minimum and maximum brake power, respectively. …”

From Opinion Dynamics to Collective Action: How Identity-Based Tolerance Leads to Political Extremism by Liang, Chen E.

“…We resolve this apparent paradox by illustrating how extreme collective action can arise from a moderate majority that retains moderate opinions yet responds positively to recruitment by extremists. We break down this task into three steps. First, we theoretically distinguish between opinion homophily and identity homophily (i.e., individuals who share the same identity interact more). …”

Wave Mechanics in Constructed Oyster Reefs and the Design of Nature-Based Coastal Adaptation by Brice, James Vincent

“…Physical and numerical wave flume experiments were conducted to investigate mechanisms of wave energy loss in oyster shell gabion-type CORs that place oyster biology in the foreground— particularly, the influence of across-shore width, spacing and structure porosity on wave attenuation under non-breaking wave conditions. Gabion widths of O(1) wavelength were found to attenuate waves by 40%. …”

Electric field induced associations in the double layer of salt-in-ionic-liquid electrolytes by Markiewitz, Daniel M, Goodwin, Zachary AH, McEldrew, Michael, Pedro de Souza, J, Zhang, Xuhui, Espinosa-Marzal, Rosa M, Bazant, Martin Z

“…However, at large negative voltages, which are strong enough to break the alkali metal cation–anion associations, these IL cations are exchanged for the alkali metal cation because of their higher charge density. …”

Local geometry of NAE-SAT solutions in the condensation regime by Sly, Allan, Sohn, Youngtak

“…This is the first description of the local weak limit in the condensation regime for any sparse random csps in the one-step replica symmetry breaking (1rsb) class. Our result is non-asymptotic and characterizes the tight fluctuation O ( n - 1 / 2 ) around the limit. …”

Localised and bifurcating structures in planar shear flows by Wang, Zhe

“…Based exclusively on the obtained analytical solutions, the origin of the quadrupolar angular dependence is identified as (i) the presence of the flow shear in the streamwise direction; and (ii) the breaking of the spatial homogeneity in the spanwise direction. …”

Predicting EPL results with Elo rating, league simulation and machine learning prediction model by Ching, Kai Teng

“…Team strength can be handicapped when the key player is injured or is forced to take an international break in favor of playing for his country. Even past results may be skewed as there are home teams and away teams in football matches and past results sometimes may be skewed towards having a weaker opponent. …”

The effect of build orientation and testing temperature on mechanical properties of polyamide-12 printed by multi jet fusion by Muhammad Fithri Bin Sadar

“…It was found that yield stress and Young’s modulus seem to decrease as temperature increases whereas the converse occurs for elongation at break. Additionally, the horizontal build orientation tends to yield higher mechanical properties than the other build orientations.…”

Ultra-fast all-optical switching based on nanoantenna coupled to monolayer TMDs by Song, Qige

“…The band gaps of few-layer TMDs are in the visible and near-infrared regions, and their excitons have considerable binding energies at room temperature, high resonant oscillator strengths, and valley-selective circular dichroism due to spatial inversion symmetry breaking, which make TMDs particularly attractive. …”

In situ nanoscopy of single-grain nanomorphology and ultrafast carrier dynamics in metal halide perovskites by Zizlsperger, M, Nerreter, S, Yuan, Q, Lohmann, KB, Sandner, F, Schiegl, F, Meineke, C, Gerasimenko, YA, Herz, LM, Siday, T, Huber, MA, Johnston, MB, Huber, R

“…<p>Designing next-generation light-harvesting devices requires a detailed understanding of the transport of photoexcited charge carriers. The record-breaking efficiencies of metal halide perovskite solar cells have been linked to effective charge-carrier diffusion, yet the exact nature of charge-carrier out-of-plane transport remains notoriously difficult to explain. …”

Cohort differences in physical health and disability in the United States and Europe by Gimeno, L, Goisis, A, Dowd, JB, Ploubidis, GB

“…Still, in both the United States and Europe, we observed a structural break in disability trends, with declines observed in prewar cohorts slowing, stalling, or reversing for cohorts born since 1945. …”

Characterisation of Topoisomerase 1-cleavage complex repair by Lascaux, P

“…As part of its enzymatic activity, TOP1 covalently binds to DNA, creating an intermediate known as TOP1 cleavage complex (TOP1cc) and a single strand DNA break which allows DNA to unwind. If not quickly repaired, TOP1cc hinders the progression of DNA replication and transcription, fostering genomic instability. …”

Identifying mechanisms involved in the resistance of homologous recombination defective Dictyostelium cells to ART inhibitors by Kolb, A

“…We further identify that HR inhibition is toxic for cells disrupted in the single-strand break responding PARP Adprt2, whereas an additional loss of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ)-promoting PARP Adprt1a renders cells resistant to the treatment. …”
