Tactic Behaviors in Asymmetric Pacman Particles
Small, EarlyView.The swimming behavior of TiO2 Pacman particles exhibits different modes depending on the fuel and illumination conditions. However, the behavior of these intrinsically asymmetric particles is still not well understood, and here we present a first approach to modeling their dynamics. Furthermore, we investigate their fundamental responses to some of the

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) enhances the flexural capacity of flat slabs and, due to its effectiveness in statically redundant bi‐dimensional elements, represents a viable alternative to conventional reinforcement. Although numerous studies have investigated the flexural behavior of SFRC slabs with and without bonded reinforcement ...

Flexural behavior of precast prestressed slabs with embedded building service systems
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Dry‐assembled precast concrete construction is rapidly spreading in many parts of the world due to the several advantages offered by industrialized construction. In order to speed up not only the assemblage of the structure, but also the full integrated building process, engineering systems (mechanical–electrical–plumbing) may be prefabricated

Experimental assessment of column rectangularity in flat‐slab slab–column connections
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents an experimental investigation of the punching shear behavior of seven 3.00 m × 3.00 m × 0.20 m flat slabs without shear reinforcement, supported by internal rectangular columns. The column side lengths were varied to obtain aspect ratios, cmax/cmin, from 1.67 to 4.00, while the flexural reinforcement and overall slab ...

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Physiological pulsations driven by cardiac, respiratory, and vasomotor activity are essential for solute transport within perivascular and perineural cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways that support brain and eye clearance systems. Previous studies have shown that parasympathetic blockade significantly reduces ocular pulsation power and

Tangent Blow‐Ups for Processing Non‐Manifold Geometry
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Many geometry processing pipelines implicitly assume their input data is a manifold, or is sampled from one, with a unique tangent plane at every point. Geometric data, however, routinely contains sharp features like edges, corners, self‐intersections, branching junctions, and other singularities, rendering standard methods ill‐defined at ...

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Regolith samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu were stowed and delivered to Earth in the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft's Sample Return Capsule (SRC). We applied multiple analytical techniques to study the components of the post‐flight SRC, with a focus on assessing the conditions and any contaminants to which the Bennu samples were exposed ...

What is a Multi‐Ethnic Party and How to Spot a Fake One?
Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.Abstract Multi‐ethnic parties have been variously defined: as those which do not champion the interests of, or mobilize against, any specific ethnic group; as those with a recognisably cross‐communal leadership or membership; and as those which acquire some distribution of support across groups.

Diffusion MRI of the Body: Beyond PGSE‐EPI
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 881-897, October 2026.ABSTRACT Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a widely used clinical imaging technique which is sensitive to changes in tissue microstructure including cellularity, perfusion, and tissue damage. DMRI has been used in whole‐body imaging as well as in targeted imaging of every major anatomical region.

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 18, 30 September 2026.ABSTRACT Rationale Quantum cascade laser absorption spectroscopy (QCLAS) is a fast and reliable method for analyzing the bulk (𝛿13C‐CH4, 𝛿D‐CH4) and clumped isotopic (∆13CH3D and ∆12CH2D2) composition of methane. However, precise measurements of ∆12CH2D2 require 0.5 to 1.8 mmol of purified methane (equivalent to 15 to 40 mL at STP).
