The rheology of saltwater taffy by Chan, San To, Haward, Simon J., Fried, Eliot, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…As a sufficiently high frequency is exceeded, taffy transitions from a critical gel-like state to an elastic solid-like state. The master curve can be described by the fractional Maxwell gel (FMG) model with three parameters: a plateau modulus, a characteristic relaxation time, and a power-law exponent. …”

A Verified Compiler for a Functional Tensor Language by Liu, Amanda, Bernstein, Gilbert, Chlipala, Adam, Ragan-Kelley, Jonathan

“…Producing efficient array code is crucial in high-performance domains like image processing and machine learning. It requires the ability to control factors like compute intensity and locality by reordering computations into different stages and granularities with respect to where they are stored. …”

Multi-bounce Returns for Specular Surface Mapping from Consumer-grade Flash LiDAR by Lin, Tsung-Han

“…Traditional LiDAR systems typically assume that all returns are single-bounce, which can lead to inaccurate representations of specular surfaces like mirrors or glass, often causing them to appear as though there is a hole. …”

De novo-designed β-sheet heme proteins by D'Souza, Areetha, Bhattacharjya, Surajit

“…By contrast, there are only a few known β-sheet proteins that bind heme and designs of β-sheets frequently result in amyloid-like aggregates. This review reflects on our success with designing a series of multi-stranded β-sheet heme binding peptides that are well folded both in aqueous and membrane-like environments. …”

Comprehensive insights into Sitobion avenae preferences and performance on Pakistan’s wheat cultivars leading to identification of potential RNAi targets by Mukhtar, Ruhma, Afzal, Eijab, Noureen, Rabia, Zeeshan, Nadia, Afroz, Amber

“…Sitobion avenae, a notable hemipteran pest, poses a significant economic threat to Triticum aestivum due to its short generation times and high reproductive rates. Challenges like the development of insecticide resistance, the limited impact of insecticidal genes, and associated risks led to seeking a more precise approach like RNA interference. …”

Disclosing downstream emissions: when are companies accountable for customers’ use of their products? by Kaplan, RS, Ramanna, K

“…Three principles govern accountability: (1) Downstream accountability is limited to companies whose products are directly used by end customers. (2) Accountability for B2C companies is limited to cases where a reasonable causal link exists between product-design decisions and the downstream emissions generated by consumers. (3) Companies are accountable for disclosing emissions produced per unit of use, not for total emissions. …”
