The Interpretation of Metamorphosis as a Narrative Device in George MacDonald’s Fairy Tales

open access: yesArmenian Folia Anglistika, 2014
The following article is an attempt to study metamorphosis as a narrative device in Scottish fairy tale writer George MacDonald’s fairy tales. Due to a closer study of the theoretical background of metamorphosis and the analyses of the examples it ...

The Metamorphosis Antidote [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 1999
What if you woke up one morning and your eyes were on the top of your head? You would be confused to see the sky in front of you and would worry that if you took a step to the rear you would smash into the ground. This could never happen unless you lived in a Kafka-esque story and had been transformed into a giant clawed frog.

Fundamental Challenges, Physical Implementations, and Integration Strategies for Ising Machines in Large‐Scale Optimization Tasks

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Ising machines are emerging as specialized hardware solvers for computationally hard optimization problems. This review examines five major platforms—digital CMOS, analog CMOS, emerging devices, coherent optics, and quantum systems—highlighting physics‐rooted advantages and shared bottlenecks in scalability and connectivity.

Effect of thyroid hormone concentration on the transcriptional response underlying induced metamorphosis in the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma)

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2008
Background Thyroid hormones (TH) induce gene expression programs that orchestrate amphibian metamorphosis. In contrast to anurans, many salamanders do not undergo metamorphosis in nature. However, they can be induced to undergo metamorphosis via exposure

Architecture and Metamorphosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
When compared to other conserved housekeeping protein families, such as ribosomal proteins, during the evolution of higher eukaryotes, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) show an apparent high propensity to add new sequences, and especially new domains. The stepwise emergence of those new domains is consistent with their involvement in a broad range of ...

From metamorphosis to maturity in complex life cycles: equal performance of different juvenile life history pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Performance in one stage of a complex life cycle may affect performance in the subsequent stage. Animals that start a new stage at a smaller size than conspecifics may either always remain smaller or they may be able to “catch up” through plasticity ...

InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs Multijunction Flexible Photovoltaics With Chemical Robustness and Radiation Hardness for Unassisted Electrocatalysis and Space Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A flexible InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs triple‐junction platform encapsulated with ultrathin glass enables unassisted electrocatalysis and space applications by providing robust protection against chemically aggressive and radiation‐rich environments. This work establishes a unified III–V multijunction photovoltaic platform that bridges space photovoltaics and ...

Metamorphosis in fiction: A supra-sentential analysis [PDF]

open access: yesLinguistica Pragensia, 2019
This paper proposes an innovative approach to the analysis of fiction texts through the combined means of three points of view, viz. FSP, discourse subjects (DSs) and their cohesive chains, and cohesive ties.

Multimodal Quad‐Finger Soft Robotic Hand With Dual‐Chamber Origami Actuator for Large‐Workspace Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multimodal quad‐finger soft robotic hand (QDO hand) uses dual‐chamber straight–curved origami prismatic (SCOP) origami actuators. By coordinating positive and negative pressurization in the two chambers, each finger produces axial extension, contraction and bidirectional bending.
