Experimental observation of optical Weyl points and Fermi arc-like surface states by Chong, Yi Dong, Chen, Kevin P., Rechtsman, Mikael C., Noh, Jiho, Huang, Sheng, Leykam, Daniel

“…Weyl fermions are hypothetical two-component massless relativistic particles in three-dimensional (3D) space, proposed by Hermann Weyl in 1929. Their band-crossing points, called ‘Weyl points’, carry a topological charge and are therefore highly robust. …”

Geometric point interpolation method in R3 space with tangent directional constraint by Chen, Xiao-Diao, Ma, Weiyin

“…This paper discusses a cubic BB-spline interpolation problem with tangent directional constraint in R3R3 space. Given mm points and their tangent directional vectors as well, the interpolation problem is to find a cubic BB-spline curve which interpolates both the positions of the points and their tangent directional vectors. …”

Single point mutations in ATP synthase compensate for mitochondrial genome loss in trypanosomes by Dean, S, Gould, MK, Dewar, CE, Schnaufer, AC

“…Our results provide insight into the molecular mechanism of compensation for kDNA loss by showing FO-independent generation of the mitochondrial membrane potential with increased dependence on the ADP/ATP carrier. Our findings also suggest that, in the pathogenic bloodstream stage of T. brucei, the huge and energetically demanding apparatus required for kDNA maintenance and expression serves the production of a single F1FO–ATPase subunit. …”

Distributed algorithms for computing a fixed point of multi-agent nonexpansive operators by Li, Xiuxian, Xie, Lihua

“…This paper investigates the problem of finding a fixed point for a global nonexpansive operator under time-varying communication graphs in real Hilbert spaces, where the global operator is separable and composed of an aggregate sum of local nonexpansive operators. …”

Winning Models for Grade Point Average, Grit, and Layoff in the Fragile Families Challenge by Rigobon, Daniel E., Jahani, Eaman, Suhara, Yoshihiko, AlGhoneim, Khaled, Alghunaim, Abdulaziz, Pentland, Alex, Almaatouq, Abdullah

“…The top-performing submissions produced winning out-of-sample predictions for three outcomes: grade point average, grit, and layoff. However, predictions were at most 20 percent better than a baseline that predicted the mean value of the training data for each outcome.…”

CRISPR-enabled point-of-care genotyping for APOL1 genetic risk assessment by Greensmith, Robert, Lape, Isadora T., Riella, Cristian V., Schubert, Alexander J., Metzger, Jakob J., Dighe, Anand S., Tan, Xiao, Hemmer, Bernhard, Rau, Josefine, Wendlinger, Sarah, Diederich, Nora, Schütz, Anja, Riella, Leonardo V.

“…However, current methods, relying on hybridization or sequencing, are unsuitable for point-of-care settings. In contrast, CRISPR-based-diagnostics offer high sensitivity and specificity for point-of-care applications. …”

Distributed economic dispatch control via saddle point dynamics and consensus algorithms by Bai, Lu, Ye, Maojiao, Sun, Chao, Hu, Guoqiang

“…The proposed method is based on consensus protocols and the saddle point dynamics. The consensus protocols are employed to estimate the global information in a distributed fashion, and the saddle point dynamics are leveraged to search for the optimal solution of the economic dispatch problem. …”

Tipping point in ice-sheet grounding-zone melting due to ocean water intrusion by Bradley, AT, Hewitt, IJ

“…We reveal a sensitive dependence of the grounding-zone dynamics on this feedback: as the grounding zone widens in response to melting, both temperature and flow velocity in the region increase, further enhancing melting. We find that increases in ocean temperature can lead to a tipping point being passed, beyond which ocean water intrudes in an unbounded manner beneath the ice sheet, via a process of runaway melting. …”
