Multicomponent thermodynamics with instabilities and diffuse interfaces fluids
We investigated the mathematical structure of Gibbsian multicomponent thermodynamics with instabilities. We analyzed the construction of such thermodynamics from a pressure law using ideal gases as the low density limit.

Ultra‐Thin Soft Pneumatic Actuation for Minimally Invasive Neural Interfacing
Parylene C is a common polymer in bioelectronics, favored for its biological and chemical inertness. However, this makes bonding layers of Parylene C together very challenging. Here it is a laser to selectively weld layers of Parylene C to create high‐pressure fluidic actuation devices.

Forward implied volatility expansion in time-dependent local volatility models******
We introduce an analytical approximation to efficiently price forward start options on equity in time-dependent local volatility models as the forward start date, the maturity or the volatility coefficient are small.

A novel bifunctional hybrid with marine bacterium alkaline phosphatase and Far Eastern holothurian mannan-binding lectin activities. [PDF]
A fusion between the genes encoding the marine bacterium Cobetia marina alkaline phosphatase (CmAP) and Far Eastern holothurian Apostichopus japonicus mannan-binding C-type lectin (MBL-AJ) was performed. Expression of the fusion gene in E.

Approximation by proper holomorphic maps and tropical power series
Let $w$ be an unbounded radial weight on the complex plane. We study the following approximation problem: find a proper holomorphic map $f: \mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}^n$ such that $|f|$ is equivalent to $w$.

The effect of doubled CO2 and model basic state biases on the monsoon-ENSO system. I: Mean response and interannual variability [PDF]
The impact of doubled CO2 concentration on the Asian summer monsoon is studied using a coupled ocean-atmosphere model. Both the mean seasonal precipitation and interannual monsoon variability are found to increase in the future climate scenario presented.
