Architectural Caustics — Controlling Light with Geometry [PDF]
Caustics are captivating light patterns created by materials bundling or diverting light by refraction or reflection. We know caustics as random side effects, appearing, for example, at the bottom of a swimming pool.

The Role of Chemotherapy in Pediatric Myoepithelial Carcinoma: A Systematic Review of the Literature
ABSTRACT Myoepithelial carcinoma (MEC) in pediatric patients is a rare and aggressive malignancy characterized by heterogeneous morphology and variable molecular features. The optimal role of chemotherapy remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines to evaluate chemotherapy in pediatric and young‐adult patients ...

The internal structure of Cold Dark Matter Haloes [PDF]
Currently favoured cosmological models for structure formation of the Universe assume that a large fraction of the mass of the Universe is 'dark'. The evidence for dark matter comes from observations of its gravitational influence.

Dynamical phase transitions, caustics, and quantum dark bands
We provide a new perspective on quantum dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) by explaining their origin in terms of caustics that form in the Fock space representation of the many-body state over time, using the fully connected transverse field Ising model

Acute Neurological Events in Children With Hemoglobin SC Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Study
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurological manifestations in children with hemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease remain insufficiently characterized, particularly regarding acute events. The aim of this study was to describe the spectrum and frequency of acute neurological events in a multicenter cohort of children with HbSC disease.

Caustics and velocity caustics in the diffuse interstellar medium at high Galactic latitudes [PDF]
The FIR distribution at high Galactic latitudes, observed with Planck, is filamentary with coherent structures in polarization. These structures are also closely related to HI filaments with coherent velocity structures.

Point diffraction interferometry to measure local curvatures and caustics of noisy wave fronts: Application for determining optical properties of fish lenses [PDF]
The study of caustics is important because they contain information about the image formation properties of optical systems. In this work we use the concept of caustic as a set of focal points, and we have developed a second order approach theory to ...

In this paper the boundary layer at the nonlinear caustic is discussed and a nonlinear Airy equation is,obtained by adapting techniques from linear theory. It is shown that the incident beam undergoes a phase shift by an amount of $\pi/2$ as it passes through the caustic and becomes the outgoing beam.

ABSTRACT Background Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is an inflammatory mediator linked to acute chest syndrome (ACS) in sickle cell disease (SCD), a serious complication that can develop during an acute vaso‐occlusive pain episode (VOE). Plasma sPLA2 levels have been proposed as a potential biomarker for predicting ACS onset.
