In memory of Aureliano's ice. by Ho, Jia Xuan.

“…Going through the chain of events leading to the fateful encounter, he does not remember the acrobats with gold-capped teeth or the jugglers with six arms, nor the thousand more inventions so ingenious and unusual that his father wanted to invent a memory machine so that he could remember them all; in the critical moments right before his death, the other events are fleeting, yet “for the first time since his youth he knowingly fell into a trap of nostalgia and relived that prodigious afternoon of the gypsies when his father took him to see ice” (García Márquez 266-267). …”

Antiferromagnetic half-skyrmions and bimerons at room temperature by Jani, H, Lin, J-C, Chen, J, Harrison, J, Maccherozzi, F, Schad, J, Prakash, S, Eom, C-B, Ariando, A, Venkatesan, T, Radaelli, PG

“…Here we realize a family of topological antiferromagnetic spin textures in α-Fe2O3—an Earth-abundant oxide insulator—capped with a platinum overlayer. By exploiting a first-order analogue of the Kibble–Zurek mechanism20,21, we stabilize exotic merons and antimerons (half-skyrmions)8 and their pairs (bimerons)16,22, which can be erased by magnetic fields and regenerated by temperature cycling. …”

On the largest product-free subsets of the alternating groups by Keevash, Peter, Lifshitz, Noam, Minzer, Dor

“…We solve this problem for large n $n$ , showing that the maximum size is achieved by the previously conjectured extremal examples, namely families of the form { π : π ( x ) ∈ I , π ( I ) ∩ I = ∅ } $\left \{ \pi :\,\pi (x)\in I, \pi (I)\cap I=\varnothing \right \} $ and their inverses. …”

Comparison of models to predict incident chronic liver disease: a systematic review and external validation in Chinese adults by Cong, X, Song, S, Li, Y, Song, K, MacLeod, C, Cheng, Y, Lv, J, Yu, C, Sun, D, Pei, P, Yang, L, Chen, Y, Millwood, I, Wu, S, Yang, X, Stevens, R, Chen, J, Chen, Z, Li, L, Kartsonaki, C, Pang, Y

“…Models with high discrimination (C-index ≥ 0.70) in CKB were as follows: (1) general population: Li-2018 and Wen 1–2012 for HCC, CLivD score (non-lab and lab) and dAAR for CLD; (2) hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected individuals: Cao-2021 for HCC and CAP-B for CLD. In CKB, all models tended to overestimate the risk (O:E ratio 0.55–0.94). …”

Behaviors of floating droplet by Kan, Kah Hou

“…Investigation reveals the formation and transition of flow pattern and vorticity originates from the complex thermo-solutal Marangoni convection induced by the evaporating cap. A droplet forming two stable axis-symmetrical counter circulating flow during evaporation is seen to collapse into a large rotating vortical flow non-periodically. …”

Indefinite metamaterials for optical applications by Bisht, Ankit

“…Further, fabrication of diffraction-limited objects for both Superlensing (slits on film) and hyperlensing (slits on curved Cr-caps) are presented. These results are important for making progress in the realization of real-time bio-molecular imaging systems, eliminating the need for near-field scanning, destructive electron microscopy and various image post-processing techniques.…”

The GCSE attainment gap: assessing the influence of permanent school exclusion by Hills, Stephen, Walker, Matthew, Guinn, James, Kent, Aubrey

“…Using the National Pupil Database and a full cohort of UK pupils (N=590,092), our analysis tracked a sample of 1,490 pupils permanently excluded in year 11 of the English education system in 2018/19. Using capped GCSE points as the academic attainment variable, we find that permanently excluded pupil scores were nearly 25 points lower than their non-permanently excluded peers. …”

2DEG enhancement via epilayer stress engineering in AlN/GaN/AlN heterostructure by Patwal, Shashank

“…The subsequent GaN channel layer was optimized to be grown at 720 ºC with minimal relaxation at nearly stoichiometric condition (III/V = 1.05).The AGA heterostructure was completed with an AlN barrier layer grown at near stoichiometric (III/V~1) growth condition and a 2 nm GaN cap layer. The AlN barrier and GaN channel combination of 3 nm and 43 nm thickness resulted in 2DEG density of 2.16×1013 cm-2 and carrier mobility of 528 cm2/V. s. …”
