Exposure to Pb-halide perovskite nanoparticles can deliver bioavailable Pb but does not alter endogenous gut microbiota in zebrafish by Patsiou, Danae, del Rio-Cubilledo, Cristina, Catarino, Ana Isabel, Summers, Stephen, Afiq Mohd Fahmi, Boyle, David, Fernandes, Teresa F., Henry, Theodore B.

“…Induction of mt2 and reduction of ala-d expression levels in liver tissues showed Pb bioavailability after 2-d and 4-d dietary exposure to perovskite-spiked feeds. Changes in gut microbiota of adult zebrafish were detected after 14-d exposure to Pb-spiked food, but no changes were detected from perovskite-NP spiked food. …”

Review of Experimental Work in Biomimetic Foils by Triantafyllou, Michael S., Techet, Alexandra H., Hover, Franz S.

“…Biomimetic observations, however, show that there is a lot more to be learned, since many of the functions and details of fish fins remain unexplored. This review focuses primarily on experimental studies on some of the, at least partially understood, mechanisms, which include 1) the formation of streets of vortices around and behind two- and three-dimensional propulsive oscillating foils; 2) the formation of vortical structures around and behind two- and three-dimensional foils used for maneuvering, hovering, or fast-starting; 3) the formation of leading-edge vortices in flapping foils, under steady flapping or transient conditions; 4) the interaction of foils with oncoming, externally generated vorticity; multiple foils, or foils operating near a body or wall.…”

Universality for the largest eigenvalue of sample covariance matrices with general population by Bao, Zhigang, Pan, Guangming, Zhou, Wang

“…Moreover, in the real case, we show that when E is spiked with a fixed number of subcritical spikes, the type 1 Tracy—Widom limit TWi holds for the normalized largest eigenvalue of WN, which extends a result of Féral and Péché in [J. …”

Emergent vortices at a ferromagnetic superconducting oxide interface by Petrović, A P, Paré, A, Paudel, T R, Lee, K, Holmes, S, Barnes, C H W, David, A, Wu, T, Tsymbal, E Y, Panagopoulos, C

“…This hysteresis is argued to arise from vortex depinning within a thin (< 20 nm) superconducting layer, mediated by discrete ferromagnetic dipoles located solely above the layer. The pinning strength may be modified by varying the superconducting channel thickness via electric field-effect doping. …”
