The addition of calcium ions to silk fibroin enhances the hydrogel properties and, when combined with visible light crosslinking, enables compatibility with advanced light‐based fabrication techniques. Calcium ions extend the shelf‐life of silk and facilitate the fabrication of multizonal, multilayered constructs for advanced stimuli‐responsive ...

Algebraic tori in the complement of quartic surfaces
Abstract Let B⊂P3$B\subset \mathbb {P}^3$ be an slc quartic surface. The existence of an embedding Gm3↪P3∖B$\mathbb {G}_m^3\hookrightarrow \mathbb {P}^3\setminus B$ implies that B$B$ has coregularity zero. In this article, we initiate the classification of coregularity zero semi log canonical (slc) quartic surfaces B⊂P3$B\subset \mathbb {P}^3$ for ...

The cone of pseudo-effective divisors of log varieties after Batyrev
In these notes we investigate the cone of nef curves of projective varieties, which is the dual cone to the cone of pseudo-effective divisors. We prove a structure theorem for the cone of nef curves of projective $\mathbb Q$-factorial klt pairs of ...

Role of Diurnal Cycle of Insolation on the MJO Propagation in the Maritime Continent
Abstract The diurnal cycle of convection in the Maritime Continent (MC) has been hypothesized to act as a barrier to the eastward propagation of the Madden‐Julian oscillation (MJO). To test this hypothesis, we use a regional model with realistic MJO to simulate an event from the boreal spring of 2013 that weakened and stalled over the MC.

X-ray pulsed light curves of highly compact neutron stars as probes of scalar–tensor theories of gravity [PDF]
The strong gravitational potential of neutron stars (NSs) makes them ideal astrophysical objects for testing extreme gravity phenomena. We explore the potential of NS X-ray pulsed light curve observations to probe deviations from general relativity (GR ...

Machine Learning Applied to High Entropy Alloys under Irradiation
Designing alloys for extreme environments demands fast, trustworthy prediction. This review charts how machine learning—especially machine‐learned interatomic potentials and predictive models based on experiment‐informed datasets—captures the complexity of high‐entropy alloys in extreme environments, predicts phase formation, mechanical properties, and

On the birational geometry of Fano 4-folds
We study the birational geometry of a Fano 4-fold X from the point of view of Mori dream spaces; more precisely, we study rational contractions of X. Here a rational contraction is a rational map f: X-->Y, where Y is normal and projective, which factors ...

Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...

Fano 4-folds, flips, and blow-ups of points
In this paper we study smooth, complex Fano 4-folds X with large Picard number rho(X), with techniques from birational geometry. Our main result is that if X is isomorphic in codimension one to the blow-up of a smooth projective 4-fold Y at a point, then
