Collective Deformation Modes Promote Fibrous Self-Assembly in Deformable Particles by Hugo Le Roy, M. Mert Terzi, Martin Lenz

“…Particles with a soft internal deformation mode thus give rise to large aggregates. In addition, when the particles are incompressible, their aggregates tend to be anisotropic and fiberlike. …”

(SPT-)LSM theorems from projective non-invertible symmetries by Salvatore D. Pace, Ho Tat Lam, and Ömer M. Aksoy

“…When this condition is not met, we prove an SPT-LSM theorem: any unique and gapped ground state is necessarily a non-invertible weak symmetry protected topological (SPT) state with non-trivial entanglement, for which we construct an example fixed-point Hamiltonian. …”

Influences of a Quasi-stationary Front on Particulate Matter in the Low-latitude Plateau Region in China by Wenxuan Fan, Jian Wu, Xiaopeng Li, Fangyuan Yang, Bing Chen, Jun Guo

“…When the KMQSF gradually retreated from the western to the eastern part of the LoLaP, the PM in Kunming dropped as the westerly wind increased in strength, whereas the PM in Guiyang continued to rise as the planetary boundary layer (PBL) height (PBLH) and boundary layer dissipation (BLD) rate decreased. …”

Essential Hypertension: An Approach to Its Etiology and Neurogenic Pathophysiology by Juan J. Bolívar

“…This review emphasizes that, from an evolutionary point of view, we are adapted to ingest and excrete <1 g of sodium (2.5 g of salt) per day and that essential hypertension develops when the kidneys become unable to excrete the amount of sodium ingested, unless blood pressure is increased. …”

An enhanced system resilience assessment method during seismic hazards: Incorporating the iteration algorithm and impact increment state enumeration by Changle Liu, Baohong Li, Qin Jiang, Yingmin Zhang, Tianqi Liu

“…Meanwhile, the exponentially increasing number of enumerations associated with a rise in failure order introduces computational challenges when we seek to assess system resilience. …”

ISMIP6-based Antarctic projections to 2100: simulations with the BISICLES ice sheet model by J. F. O'Neill, T. L. Edwards, D. F. Martin, C. Shafer, S. L. Cornford, H. L. Seroussi, S. Nowicki, M. Adhikari, L. J. Gregoire

“…Under higher-warming scenarios, high accumulation offsets more ocean-driven mass loss when sensitivity to ocean-driven melt is low. Conversely, we show that when sensitivity to ocean warming is high, ocean melting drives increased mass loss despite high accumulation. …”

Feedback regulation in multistage cell lineages by Wing-Cheong Lo, Ching-Shan Chou, Kimberly K. Gokoffski, Frederic Y.-M. Wan, Arthur D. Lander, Anne L. Calof, Qing Nie

“…Here we report on the existence and uniquenessof steady states in this system, as well as local and global stability of these steady states.In particular, we identify parameter conditions for the stability of the system when negativefeedback loops are represented either as Hill functions, or in more general terms.Our results suggest that two factors -- autoregulation of the proliferation oftransit amplifying (TA) progenitor cells, and a low death rate of TD cells -- enhance the stability of this system.…”

Tree Mortality following Prescribed Fire and a Storm Surge Event in Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii var. densa) Forests in the Florida Keys, USA by Jay P. Sah, Michael S. Ross, James R. Snyder, Danielle E. Ogurcak

“…Due to their influence on population structure and fuel dynamics, the size-selective mortality patterns following fire and storm surge have practical importance for using fire as a management tool in Florida Keys pinelands in the future, particularly when the threats to their continued existence from tropical storms and sea level rise are expected to increase.…”

Enhancement of Coal Permeability Using Aqueous NaCl with Microwave Irradiation by Weiming Guan, Qi Qi, Senlin Nan, Haichao Wang, Xin Li, Yingyuan Wen, Junhui Yao, Yanyan Ge

“…Water in coal pores can generate strong steam explosions when treated with microwave irradiation. In order to improve the sensitivity of coal reservoirs to microwaves, we used varying concentrations of NaCl on the pore solution, which further increased the effect of microwaves on permeability enhancement. …”
