Gender and urban fiscal governance: evidence from female leadership in Indian municipal corporations
This study examines how female leadership shapes fiscal outcomes in India's Municipal Corporations, which, despite comprising only 5.5% of Urban Local Bodies, control 60-65% of aggregate municipal revenues. Integrating representative bureaucracy and fiscal federalism theories, we...

A Generalized Shape Function Approach for Multimaterial Topology Optimization
ABSTRACT This paper presents a generalized shape function (gSF) approach for multi‐material topology optimization that utilizes a compact design space to produce optimized configurations featuring a large number of materials. Building upon 1D (linear), 2D (bilinear), and 3D (tril...

A proposed E 8 × E 8 kinematic scaffolding for the standard model with pre-gravitation
Abstract We present a proposed E 8 × E 8 kinematic scaffolding for the standard model with pre-gravitation. The notation E 8 × ωE 8 used below records a split-complex exchange grading of two factors; it is not a tensor product of groups. Each factor branches through SU (3) × E 6...

Non-canonical pore architecture underlies constitutive gating of human retinal TRPM1
Transient receptor potential melastatin 1 (TRPM1), a Ca²⁺-permeable nonselective cation channel essential for retinal ON bipolar cell signaling and night vision, and implicated in congenital night blindness, has remained structurally and functionally poorly characterized. Here we...
