Random‐key optimization for 2D irregular packing with reusable area evaluation

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The diverse constraints of industrial applications lead to variants of two‐dimensional (2D) irregular packing problems that require tailored solution methods. This paper addresses a real‐world industrial challenge by proposing a new problem definition, the maximum reusable contiguous area problem (MRCAP), and a novel metric, the maximum ...

Heterogeneity in Manufacturing Growth Risk

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract We analyze differences in output growth risk with respect to financial conditions across U.S. manufacturing industries. Using a multilevel quantile regression approach, we find that industries exhibit heterogeneous increases of downside risk in times of tight financial conditions, while upside potential remains stable.

Artefact‐aware Brillouin microscopy framework for root mechanical phenotyping

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant roots continuously sense and respond to the mechanical signals of their growth environment: root cap function, mucilage secretion, and hormonal regulation jointly adapt root tip mechanics, shaping whether roots penetrate compacted layers or reorient around obstacles. Most current measurements of root mechanical properties require removal

Power Unleashed: Theorizing a Weak Ecology of Checks and Balances and Its Consequences. A Case From the Global South

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article theorizes about weak checks and balances (C&B) and its plausible consequences. Drawing on empirical data from over 1100 municipal officials in Mexico, the study examines how executive dominance over three key institutions—the local council, internal comptroller offices, and human resources offices—facilitates consequences ...

Comparison of conjunctival pedicle flap to corneal fixation strength achieved by Tisseel® fibrin glue, ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, ReSure® hydrogel sealant, and conventional suturing with 8‐0 VICRYL® ophthalmic suture

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 253-263, March 2025.
Abstract Objective To determine and compare the fixation strength of conjunctival pedicle flaps to cornea achieved via conventional ophthalmic suture and three different adhesive compounds. Animals Studied Ex vivo porcine globes. Procedures Following a 6 mm wide 500‐micron‐restricted depth lamellar keratectomy, conjunctival pedicle flaps were secured ...

When NCX switches sides: Experimental and computational insights into Ca2+ regulation in the heart

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Due to its presence inside the dyadic cleft, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) builds a functional unit together with L‐type calcium channels and ryanodine receptors in the dyadic cleft. NCX acts bidirectionally (forward and reverse mode) dependent on extracellular calcium ([Ca2+]o) and sodium ([Na+]o) concentrations and the membrane ...

Panoramic voltage‐sensitive optical mapping of contracting hearts using cooperative multiview motion tracking with 12 cameras

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstact figure legend A panoramic 3D optical mapping system was developed, enabling imaging of action potential waves across the entire strongly deforming ventricular surface of beating isolated hearts. The system comprises 12 high‐speed cameras and a soccerball‐shaped imaging chamber with 48 light‐emitting diodes (LEDs).

Electrophysiological properties of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus motoneurones controlling airway mucus secretion in rats

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Acidosis depolarises parasympathetic respiratory motoneurones in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) and increases their firing frequency by reducing TWIK‐2 channel conductance. Acidosis also activates astrocytes, which further enhance neuronal excitability through NMDA receptor‐dependent glutamatergic signalling.

Strain‐Space Hyperreduction Using Empirically Corrected Cluster Cubature With Linear and Quadratic Approximation Spaces

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Strain‐space reduced cubature techniques such as the Empirically Corrected Cluster Cubature (E3C) considerably reduce the integration effort incurred in computational homogenisation problems. In this work, we apply E3C in tandem with projection‐based model reduction techniques utilising both linear and quadratic approximation spaces.

Effective Crack Resistance of a Simplified Ductile Heterogeneous Material With Circular Inclusions

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This contribution investigates the effective crack resistance obtained from a numerical crack‐growth experiment for a simplified two‐dimensional ductile heterogeneous material. The resolved microstructure contains circular inclusions. Their stiffness and fracture resistance are varied independently together with the ligament width between ...
