Reconfigurable Giant Nonreciprocity at Near‐Normal Incidence via Phase‐Change Magneto‐Optical Metagratings

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A phase‐change magneto‐optical metagrating combines GST switching with InAs guided‐mode resonances to achieve strong nonreciprocal absorption contrast near normal incidence. A static magnetic bias creates direction‐dependent resonant splitting, while GST crystallization quenches and latches the response.

Color Symmetry Breaking in a Nonlinear Optical Microresonator

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A two‐color pump drives an integrated microring resonator into spontaneous color symmetry breaking mediated by the nonlinear Kerr effect. Above threshold, one optical color becomes spontaneously dominant while the other is submissive, with the selected output state emerging randomly. These results establish a new form of symmetry breaking in integrated

Bifurcation phenomena in magnetically confined toroidal plasmas

open access: yesAdvances in Physics: X, 2020
Bifurcation phenomena observed in turbulence and transport, in topology of magnetic field and MHD, and the interplay between turbulence and MHD bifurcation in magnetically confined toroidal plasmas are reviewed.

A tipping point for tipping points

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Tipping points (TPs) – often understood as abrupt changes to a system – have become a popular framework for ecology and environmental science across spatial and temporal scales. The underlying, quantitative foundation of TP theory is built on mathematical models from catastrophe and predator–prey theories.

RE 4Al13Pt9—New Representatives in the RE–Al–Pt System with the Ho4Ge9Ir13‐Type Structure (RE = Y, La‐Nd, Sm, Gd‐Dy)

open access: yesZeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
The RE4Al13Pt9 series has been extended to RE = Y, La‐Nd, Sm, Gd‐Dy. The compounds have been investigated by X‐ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Of the RE4Al13Pt9 series, the RE = Ce, Pr, and Eu representatives were previously reported. In this work we extend the series to RE = Y, La‐Nd, Sm, Gd‐Dy.

Shaping Future Children, Sex Selection, and “Normal” Human Capacities

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT If we think that parents have an obligation to have a healthy child then we need to know what counts as healthy, when male and female children are born with very different capacities. If we give up on the idea that our obligations to use technologies of genetic selection are discharged once we try to secure the birth of a healthy child, as ...

Cryo‐EM structures of multiple‐peptide resistance factor (MprF) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cryo‐EM analysis of MprF from Pseudomonas aeruginosa reveals a dimeric enzyme, distinct from Rhizobium homologues. The soluble GNAT domain contains a dynamic amphipathic helix (TTH) that adopts different positions in detergent micelle and nanodisc, relative to the membrane.

Dynamic Complexities in 2-Dimensional Discrete-Time Predator-Prey Systems with Allee Effect in the Prey

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2016
The Allee effect is incorporated into a predator-prey model with linear functional response. Compared with the predator-prey which only takes the crowding effect and predator partially dependent on prey into consideration, it is found that the Allee ...

The Generics Revolution and the New Economic Geography of the Global Pesticide Industry

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global pesticide industry transformed from one dominated by patented products and legacy multinationals with strong manufacturing bases in the United States and EU to one dominated by generic products produced in India and China. We use proprietary market research data, data from regulatory filings, industry press and bilateral trade data ...

Recognition of fossil keratose sponges in carbonates using petrographic and machine‐learning classification

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Filamentous, anastomosing spar‐filled networks in Phanerozoic carbonates have been interpreted as the mineralised remains of keratose (non‐spiculate) sponges, yet their recognition remains contested because fabrics of broadly similar appearance may arise from microbial, diagenetic or physical processes. This study combines direct fossil–modern
