A diversified approach to the design of recombinant silk proteins for biomaterials
Silk offers a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers, yet widespread industrial adoption has not been realised. Many current silk protein engineering efforts have focused on spider dragline silk; a pursuit made difficult by the metabolic burden of expressing high molecular...

A unified degrading shear strength model for rectangular and circular solid/hollow RC columns
Reliable quantification of shear strength in the plastic hinge regions of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is crucial for seismic design. However, existing shear strength models often rely on the linear superposition of multiple shear-resisting contributions, an approach that has...

Placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFLT-1) are established biomarkers of placental dysfunction, but their functions extend beyond the maternal circulating ratio. This structured narrative review examines the FLT1–PlGF–vascular endothelial growt...

Preservation of Isolated Vesicles in Submarine Pumice and Implications for Submarine Slope Stability
Abstract Pumice clasts from submarine eruptions contain abundant isolated vesicles that are completely encased in glass. As erupted clasts cool, gas inside isolated vesicles contracts, leading to low pressures inside those vesicles. Despite low pressures, isolated vesicles can be...

The fast and the studious? Ramadan observance and student performance
Abstract We examine how religious observance affects educational performance by studying the years in which Ramadan overlapped with the national end-of-secondary-school exams in the Netherlands. Using administrative microdata and a difference-in-differences design, we find that s...

Integral cubic torsion and Frobenius in genus two
Let \(T\) be a symplectic \(\mathbf Z_2\)-lattice of rank four and let \(L\) be its closed-surface cubic Lie quotient. For a nondegenerate symmetric monodromy pairing \(B\), we compute the two-torsion in \(\operatorname{coker}(\rho_3(\tau_B)-1)\) and its normaliser action. For pr...

Rethinking postcolonial mobilities through literature
Inspired by research that positions literary texts as capable of contributing to theoretical discussions on mobility, this article argues that literature can enable a deeper understanding of postcolonial mobilities than mainstream postcolonial literary scholarship. Although there...

Correlation Decay, Determinant Limits, and Zero Escape in a Nonlinear Spherical Response Model
We study a nonlinear response model on the probability sphere obtained by iterating F(s) = s + s² on squared spatial projections, then centering and normalizing the resulting fields in L². For each fixed dimension d ≥ 2 and amplitude τ > 0, we prove geometric decay of correlation...
