Hyperbole, the comical, and grotesque in Yu. Buida’s collection of short stories The Prussian Bride
Слово.ру: балтийский акцент, 2013 The connection between grotesque and myth is shown in the context of Yu. Buida’s collection of short stories The Prussian Bride. The author identifies the thematic areas of the intersection between grotesque, hyperbole, and the comical and analyses the ...

, 2013 The author considers the space of relativistic velocities in the Minkowski vector space \(\mathbb{R}^{1,n}\) as the unit ball \(B^n \subset \mathbb{R}^n \) with the non-commutative non-associative invertible binary operation \(\oplus\), defined by the relativistic addition of velocities.

Coherent Absorption Reveals Colors Hidden in a Grey Fabry–Pérot Cavity
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A dielectric thin film shows colors depending on its thickness; this effect can be used to encode information normally accessible through single‐beam spectroscopy. We developed a method to conceal this kind of information, based on coating the dielectric with a matched conductor, that suppresses the color‐bearing thin‐film resonances.

Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A sea turtle‐inspired amphibious robot uses simulation‐guided optimization to adapt its flipper coordination to different environments. Sensitivity analysis and multiobjective Bayesian optimization identify terrain‐dependent controllers that are validated on hardware.

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 1986 AbstractThe use of computer graphics to create repeating patterns of the hyperbolic plane is a recent and natural development in the history of hyperbolic patterns. A program is described which generates such patterns in the Poincaré model of hyperbolic geometry. The program can easily be extended to create patterns with color symmetry.

Helix Alignment, Chevrons, and Edge Dislocations in Twist‐Bend Ferroelectric Nematics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The recently discovered twist‐bend ferroelectric nematic (NTBF) is the new member of the multiferroic family, representing a fluid with an oblique helicoidal (heliconical) periodic structure of spontaneous electric polarization. The work presents a thorough exploration of the material properties of this phase, how the periodic modulation of ...
