Abstract Indium antimonide (InSb), an n-type narrow-band gap semiconductor, has attracted considerable interest in intermediate-temperature thermoelectric (TE) applications due to its excellent electronic transport properties; however, its relatively high lattice thermal conducti...

A TWAS Method Calibrated for the Uncertainty of Predicted Expression

ABSTRACT The transcriptome‐wide association study (TWAS) is a powerful approach to identifying novel genes associated with complex phenotypes. Standard TWAS approaches build a prediction model for the genetic component of expression based on reference transcriptome data. Next, an...

Scaling behavior of the fractional Maxwell model parameters for semidilute entangled polymer solutions and its application for predicting linear viscoelastic properties

We report that the parameters of the fractional Maxwell model (FMM) for semidilute entangled polymer solutions can be superimposed onto master curves by applying the scaling rules of the correlation blob theory. The FMM is parametrized by four terms—the quasimoduli parameters V a...

Programming Stress Relaxation and Creep in Low‐Molecular‐Weight Self‐Assembled Hydrogels Through Polymer Incorporation

Mechanical property characterization of supramolecular viscoelastic materials, particularly low-molecular-weight gelator (LMWG)-derived hydrogels, has predominantly relied on small-amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) measurements, although these experiments probe network dynamics...

Dimension reduction of higher-order dynamical networks

Abstract Low-dimensional reductions provide a useful framework for studying high-dimensional dynamics on complex networks, but most existing approaches are restricted to pairwise interactions. Here, we develop a one-dimensional reduction for dynamical systems on networks with pur...

Effect of Stress‐Induced Anisotropy on the Stability of Infinite Sandy Slopes

ABSTRACT Reliable assessment of infinite sandy slope stability requires accounting for anisotropic in‐situ stress state imposed by slope geometry and self‐weight. This study presents a mechanics and state‐based analytical framework that introduces stress‐induced anisotropy throug...

Low‐Threshold Red Lasing in Diketopyrrolopyrrole‐Based Organic Semiconductor Films

ABSTRACT Achieving low‐lasing threshold organic semiconductor lasers (OSLs) in the red to deep‐red region remains challenging due to the intrinsic trade‐off between long‐wavelength emission and high optical gain. Extended π‐conjugation required for red‐shifted emission typically...

Simultaneous stabilization based attitude tracking control for quadrotor UAV with thrust constraints under complete actuator failure

This paper presents an LMI-based control strategy for stabilizing both the attitude and altitude dynamics of a quadrotor in the presence of a single actuator failure. The analysis considers multiple equilibrium points that can be attained under thrust limitations, and examines th...

Analysis of Radiative Magnetohydrodynamic Boundary Layer Flow Over a Vertical Porous Plate Using Successive Linearization

ABSTRACT This research explores impact of radiation on boundary layer flow around a porous plate undergoing vertical motion in an incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid. A system of complex differential equations is generated by reducing governing nonlinear equations usin...

Dissecting nationalist narratives: Lagaan – a critique of colonialism or a eulogy of colonial governance?

Ashutosh Gowariker’s Lagaan is widely considered one of Bollywood’s most compelling portrayals of anti-colonial resistance in India. The film’s depiction of a small village, resisting exploitative colonial taxation, is often read as a powerful cinematic expression of nationalist...
