Lattice Structures for Bone Replacement: The Intersection of Bone Biomechanics, Lattice Design, and Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review outlines how understanding bone's biology, hierarchical architecture, and mechanical anisotropy informs the design of lattice structures that replicate bone morphology and mechanical behavior. Additive manufacturing enables the fabrication of orthopedic implants that incorporate such structures using a range of engineering materials ...

Wearable Thermoelectric Generators for In Vivo Modulation of Insulin Release

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a wearable, self‐powered thermoelectric system (IGNITE) that sustainably harvests body heat to electrically stimulate engineered human cells for insulin release. Operating autonomously without batteries, IGNITE achieves glycemic control in diabetic mice, demonstrating a significant advance in bioelectronic medicine and setting the ...

Valuations and plurisubharmonic singularities

, 2007
We extend to higher dimensions some of the valuative analysis of singularities of plurisubharmonic (psh) functions developed by the last two authors. Following Kontsevich and Soibelman we describe the geometry of the space V of all normalized valuations ...

Subuniformity of harmonic mean p$$ p $$‐values

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We obtain several inequalities on the generalized means of dependent p$$ p $$‐values. In particular, the weighted harmonic mean of p$$ p $$‐values is strictly subuniform under several dependence assumptions of p$$ p $$‐values, including independence, negative upper orthant dependence, the class of extremal mixture copulas, and some Clayton ...

Asymptotic independence in more than two dimensions and its implications on risk management

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract In extreme value theory, the presence of asymptotic independence signifies that joint extreme events across multiple variables are unlikely. Although well understood in a bivariate context, the concept remains relatively unexplored when addressing the nuances of simultaneous occurrence of extremes in higher dimensions.

Tropical totally positive matrices

, 2018
We investigate the tropical analogues of totally positive and totally nonnegative matrices. These arise when considering the images by the nonarchimedean valuation of the corresponding classes of matrices over a real nonarchimedean valued field, like the

Isoelectronic Alloying in Zintl Phases Mediated the Avoided Crossing and Phonon Softening

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A small amount of Hf doping endows Zr3Ni3Sb4‐Zintl with an unusually low thermal conductivity far exceeding that of similar systems. Two unique phonon mechanisms—avoided crossing and phonon softening—significantly suppress the lattice thermal conductivity. The average thermoelectric figure of merit is improved by 21%.

Methylene‐Bridged Calixarene Polyhedra: An Elusive Class of Symmetric Molecular Architectures

Helvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.
An overview of purely hypothetical methylene‐bridged calixarene polyhedral molecular architectures is presented. In addition to the five previously postulated structures, we propose a calix[5]arene‐based icosidodecahedron as a new member of this class. Computational assessments of stability and strain indicate that methanospherophane is likely the most

Pole‐To‐Pole 3D Radial Trajectory Designs Improve Image Quality and Quantitative Parametric Mapping in the Brain and Heart

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To design 3D radial spiral phyllotaxis trajectories aimed at removing phase inconsistencies, improving image quality, and enhancing parametric mapping accuracy by acquiring nearly opposing spokes starting from both hemispheres in 3D radial k‐space. Methods Two 3D radial trajectories, pole‐to‐pole and continuous spiral phyllotaxis, were

Stable modification of relative curves

, 2009
We generalize theorems of Deligne-Mumford and de Jong on semi-stable modifications of families of proper curves. The main result states that after a generically \'etale alteration of the base any (not necessarily proper) family of multipointed curves ...
