A Hyperbolic Model for Two-Layer Thin Film Flow with a Perfectly Soluble Anti-Surfactant

Abstract. We consider the motion of a two-layer thin film that consists of two immiscible viscous fluids and is endowed with an anti-surfactant solute. The presence of such solute particles induces variations of the surface tension and interfacial stress driving a Marangoni-type...

Multi-objective computational design optimization of a Total Disc Replacement implant

Abstract While cervical arthroplasty using Total Disc Replacement (TDR) implants is an established treatment for persistent neck and arm pain, revision rates limit it from reaching its full potential. To address the underlying complications, we developed finite element simulation...

Urbanization and electoral success: lawyers and workers in interwar France

This study argues that urbanization altered the relationship between candidates’ occupation and their electoral success. To identify the causal effect of local variation in urbanization, we exploit exogenous changes in the boundaries of electoral constituencies in the 1928, 1932,...

Microstructural insights into fast ion transport in solid electrolytes via multiscale modeling

Abstract Improving solid electrolytes is critical for high-performance all-solid-state batteries, yet the microstructural features that enable fast ion transport remain poorly understood. Here, we use multiscale modeling to resolve polycrystalline ion transport from atomic-scale...

Evidential raising in Mandarin Chinese

Abstract In this article, we develop the first syntax-and-semantics analysis of the evidential raising construction of Chinese as in [ Akiu ( haoxiang ) xihuan he pijiu ] de yangzi ‘Akiu seems to like drinking beer’ ( not the DP reading that this string has, too: ‘the appearance...

A Survey of Distributed Asynchronous Many-Task Models and Their Applications

Asynchronous many-task (AMT) runtime systems have become an important paradigm for expressing fine-grained parallelism and managing asynchrony in high-performance computing (HPC). Originating from early dataflow concepts, AMTs have evolved to enable dynamic task generation, expli...

Tailoring Liquid Crystalline Self‐Assembly and Photophysical Properties of Unsymmetrical Fluorenones via Polar Terminal Groups

ABSTRACT In this work, a series of novel unsymmetrical fluorenone derivatives bearing various head groups (H, Br, NO 2 , NH 2 , and CN) was synthesized and investigated with respect to their mesomorphic and photophysical properties. Depending on the head group, SmA, N, or SmC pha...

GeoHash3D: Robust and Efficient 6-DoF Pose Estimation from 3D Marker Sets

Accurately measuring the six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) pose of a sample is a critical prerequisite for applications in robotic sample handling, optical metrology, and industrial quality control. Our pose estimation problem requires matching a small, partial observation of 4–20 d...

The parameter estimation tables (PEtab) format version 2

Abstract Parameter estimation is a central task in data-driven computational modeling, and a clear, unambiguous, and commonly understood specification of parameter estimation problems is essential for reproducibility and interoperability. PEtab provides a standardized framework f...

A programmable DNA origami nanosyringe for directed membrane translocation

Abstract Bacterial contractile injection systems provide a model for membrane penetration and targeted delivery of molecular cargo through mechanical actuation. Replicating these features in synthetic nanoscale systems remains challenging, particularly with respect to coupling st...

Introducing Diradicaloid Thiele's Hydrocarbon Derivatives as Ligand in Transition Metal Chemistry

ABSTRACT Thiele's hydrocarbon (TH) derivatives, or p ‐quinodimethanes, are prototypical members of the organic diradicaloid family, predominantly explored in organic and main‐group organometallic chemistry. Herein, we introduce them to transition‐metal coordination by employing N...

How considered interests evolve in deliberation: evidence from Swiss citizens’ juries

Abstract Citizens increasingly demand involvement in policymaking, driving the rise of participatory processes like deliberative minipublics. This article introduces a novel longitudinal survey measure to determine the extent to which citizens are more considerate of others’ inte...

Synthesis and evaluation of fluorinated chromene-pyridone as a dual-acting agent against Alzheimer's disease and cancer: biological assessment and computational modelling

The global challenge of neurodegenerative diseases and cancer necessitates new multifunctional therapeutics. We designed and synthesised novel chromene-hydrazone derivatives as multitarget ligands. Structures were confirmed spectroscopically and by X-ray crystallography, with dat...
