Broadband Mode Converter With Customizable Modal Ratio Leveraging Subwavelength Engineering for Advanced Multimode Silicon Photonics

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work introduces a customizable mode converter for multimode silicon photonics, enabling precise control over the conversion ratio between optical modes. The device operates across a broad wavelength range (1350–1700 nm) with 15 distinct conversion levels.

A Unified Scene? Global Fictions in the C21

Alluvium: 21st-Century Writing, 21st-Century Approaches, 2015
The twenty-first century has been marked by an unprecedented intensification in globalisation, transnational mobility and technological change. According to Peter Boxall, there has been a ‘turn in the fiction of the new century’ to reflect this ‘contemporary global condition’ (Boxall 141).

Multimode Phonon Lasing via Self‐Induced Optical Coherent Pumping

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A silicon optomechanical nanobeam generates self‐sustained phonon lasing in multiple competing mechanical modes via self‐pulsing, an intrinsic optical modulation arising from cavity nonlinearity. This self‐organized mechanism enables robust multi‐frequency operation spanning periodic, quasi‐periodic, and chaotic regimes without external modulation. The

The Weak Core, Partition‐Based Universal Stability, and Their Risk Associations Through A Partial Order

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are concerned with the stability of a transferable‐utility cooperative (TU) game. First, the concept of core can be weakened so that the blocking of changes is limited to only those with multilateral backings. This principle of consensual blocking, as well as the traditional core‐defining one of unilateral blocking and one straddling in ...

Ordered Median Traveling Salesman Problem

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel combinatorial optimization problem with ordering constraints, termed the Ordered Median Traveling Salesman Problem (OMTSP). The OMTSP integrates key elements from both the classic Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and the Ordered Median Location Problem.

Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting Mediterranean shrub

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fire and drought increasingly co‐occur, exposing plants to greater drought stress during post‐fire resprouting. Yet, the effect of this combination of disturbances on plant fitness remains poorly understood. Here, we examine how post‐fire resprouting influences reproductive success under drought conditions in the Mediterranean shrub Anthyllis ...

Suspendable and Scalable Ultrasound‐Actuated ZnO‐Nanosheet‐Based Piezoelectric Microdevices for Wireless Electrical Stimulation of Cells

Small, EarlyView.
Silicon microtechnology enables the scalable fabrication of cytocompatible microdevices for wireless electrical stimulation. Microdevices smaller than a cell allow accurate interaction with single cells. By integrating piezoelectric nanostructures that can be actuated by ultrasound within the biomedical range, remote electrical cell stimulation is ...

Smart NIR‐Emitting Organometallo Pt(II)‐Ionosilica Aerogel for Selective Au(III) Sensing and Recovery

Small, EarlyView.
This study reports a near‐infrared emitting ionic aerogel composed of cationic cyclometalated Pt(II) moieties linked by Si─O─Si bonds. The resulting porous hybrid material enables the selective detection and recovery of Au(III) ions from mixed‐metal solutions. Owing to its reversible luminescent response and thiourea‐assisted gold recovery, the aerogel

Antimicrobial Residues in a Key Cerrado River: Distribution, Persistence, and Effects on Zebrafish Embryo‐Larval Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The current study aimed to quantify the antimicrobials amoxicillin (AMX), cefazolin (CFZ), chloramphenicol (CHL), metronidazole (MTZ), and sulfamethoxazole (SX) in effluents and surface water of an important Cerrado river, calculate their half‐lives, and analyze their ecotoxicity following single and combined exposures.

PFOA Exposure Elicits Quantitative Lipidomic Changes in the Pancreas in a Mouse Model of Pancreatic Cancer

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US and predicted to rise to second by 2030. Several risk factors have been identified as potential contributors to pancreatic cancer development including lifestyle factors and long‐term exposure to occupational and environmental carcinogens.
