Segmented Therapeutic Delivery via Acoustic Microbubble Relay
An acoustically driven, modular segmented delivery system is presented to overcome mechanical limitations of conventional microcatheters. Oscillating microbubbles generate directional streaming that enables continuous, targeted transport across open, angled segments.

Local quadratic convergence of polynomial-time interior-point methods for conic optimization problems [PDF]
In this paper, we establish a local quadratic convergence of polynomial-time interior-point methods for general conic optimization problems. The main structural property used in our analysis is the logarithmic homogeneity of self-concordant barrier ...

A Polynomial Optimization Approach to Constant Rebalanced Portfolio Selection
We address the multi-period portfolio optimization problem with the constant rebalancing strategy. This problem is formulated as a polynomial optimization problem (POP) by using a mean-variance criterion.

Emergent Spin Hall Quantization and High‐Order van Hove singularities in Square‐Octagonal MA2Z4
Square‐octagonal MA2Z4 (M = Mo/W, A = Si/Ge, Z = pnictogen) monolayers are predicted to realize quantum spin Hall insulators with nearly quantized spin Hall conductivity enabled by an emergent spin U(1) quasi‐symmetry. Materials with Z = As and Sb host quasi‐flat bands with high‐order van Hove singularities near the Fermi level, making them promising ...

Long‐Range Interactions in Topological Superconducting Systems: A Mini Review
Long‐range interacting quantum systems are surveyed in this review, with an emphasis on the long‐range topological superconductor and its variants. Long‐range interactions decaying in a power‐law manner can lead to exotic phenomena that finds no analogue in short‐range regimes.

Polynomial distribution functions on bounded closed intervals [PDF]
The thesis explores several topics, related to polynomial distribution functions and their densities on [0,1]M, including polynomial copula functions and their densities. The contribution of this work can be subdivided into two areas.

Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...

On structural controllability in complex networks with periodic switching topologies
Abstract This paper investigates the structural controllability of complex networks with periodic switching topologies. First, several graph transformations that preserve structural controllability are demonstrated. Based on the n‐walk theory, a criterion is derived that determines structural controllability by analyzing only the joint graph within a ...

Polynomial-exponential 2D data models, Hankel-block-Hankel matrices and zero-dimensional ideals
Subspace-based methods are popular for analysis of two-dimensional data that can be modeled by sums of polynomially modulated exponential (or “polynomial-exponential”) functions.

ABSTRACT Cultivated meat production requires efficient differentiation of muscle progenitor cells into myotubes without relying on animal‐derived serum, which poses ethical and scalability challenges. This study aimed to develop a chemically defined, serum‐free medium optimized for bovine satellite cell differentiation.
