Antinomies of Alignment Redux: The United Arab Emirates and the United States
Abstract Over the past three decades, the United Arab Emirates has forged a sturdy bilateral security alignment with the United States. It has also pursued foreign policies that conflict with US interests in the Gulf and the broader Middle East. This contradiction is usually attributed to a hedging strategy.

Tracking and Characterization of Moving Acoustic Sources Using an Infrasound Array at Volcán Santiaguito, Guatemala [PDF]
Active volcanic processes produce large amounts of acoustic energy within the infrasound band (0-20 Hz). Infrasound-sensitive microphones are often installed in addition to other forms of volcano monitoring equipment to increase the ability to remotely ...

Modified carbon dot‐mediated transient transformation for genomic and epigenomic studies in wheat
Summary Genotype restriction poses a significant bottleneck to stable transformation in the vast majority of plant species, thereby severely impeding advancement in plant bioengineering, particularly for crops. Nanoparticles (NPs) can serve as effective carriers for the transient delivery of nucleic acids, facilitating gene overexpression or silencing ...

Hobbes' Ship of Theseus: On the Limits of Surviving a Gradual Replacement of Parts
ABSTRACT In the ancient example of the Ship of Theseus, a ship is restored, having all its parts replaced. Ancient philosophers in Athens wondered if the restored ship was identical to the original ship. About 2000 years later, Thomas Hobbes introduced a twist; after all of the parts of the original ship had been replaced, what if the original parts of

Fast and Autonomous Mannosylated Nanomotors for Dynamic Cancer Cell Targeting
An enzyme‐loaded nanomotor decorated with mannose polymers shows a synergistic effect with respect to cell targeting. The mannose units interact with mannose receptors (MRs) on the cell surface, whereas the presence of the glycopolymer on the motor surface also leads to a more effective motile behavior in cell medium. Abstract An attractive strategy in
