Bistable Soft Shells for Programmable Mechanical Logic by Nan Yang, Yuming Lan, Miao Zhao, Xiaofei Shi, Kunpeng Huang, Zhongfa Mao, Damiano Padovani

“…This bistable behavior, explained via model‐based design, safeguards robustness by working only once for each input pulse. Thus, these shells are leveraged to create a buffer and a NOT gate that lead to six fundamental gates (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR). …”

Tripling Optical Efficiency of Pancake Optics for Virtual Reality Displays by Yuze Xiao, Jiazhan Zhang, Yun Ye, Sheng Xu, Qun Yan, Tailiang Guo, Enguo Chen

“…The pancake structure is the mainstream optical solution for virtual reality (VR) displays due to its compact, folded optical path. However, only a small portion of the light can pass through the pancake optical engine because the incident light has to be polarized and directed to the half mirror (HM) twice. …”

Oxidative damage to DNA, expression of Mt-1, and activation of repair mechanisms induced by vanadium trioxide in cultures of human lymphocytes by V.A. Alcántara-Mejía, A.A. Beltrán-Flores, R.A. Mateos-Nava, L. Álvarez-Barrera, I.U. Bahena-Ocampo, E. Santiago-Osorio, E. Bonilla-González, J.J. Rodríguez-Mercado

“…This finding suggests that DNA damage is primarily repaired via two mechanisms: base excision repair (BER) and nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). In conclusion, one mechanism of action of V2O3 involves the oxidation of nitrogenous bases in DNA, the activation of damage sensors (such as ATMs), and the overexpression of Mt-1 as part of the antioxidant response to mitigate the effects of V and facilitate DNA repair pathways (including BER and NHEJ).…”

John Locke, Abolitionism, and the Reactionary Enlightenment by Brian Smith

“…Right around the time England abolished the slave trade in 1807, a string of successful vindication narratives helped to liberate Locke from his linkages to slavery. As a result, not only did prominent slavocrats begin to ridicule the Carolina constitution, but they also came to see Lockean natural law thinking as much more fundamentally incompatible with their worldview. …”
