Abstract Heterogeneous landscape leads to large variations of urban microclimate in all dimensions, yet the vertical variability of meteorological elements within the urban canopy layer (UCL) has been rarely examined. In the present study, we developed an urban vertical diffusion model coupled with a single‐layer urban canopy model.

Romance Loans in Middle Dutch and Middle English: Retained or Lost? A Matter of Metre1
Abstract Romance words have been borrowed into all medieval West‐Germanic languages. Modern cognates show that the metrical patterns of loans can differ although the Germanic words remain constant: loan words Dutch kolónie, English cólony, German Koloníe compared with Germanic words Dutch wéduwe, English wídow, German Wítwe.

Superconformal Algebras and Mock Theta Functions
It is known that characters of BPS representations of extended superconformal algebras do not have good modular properties due to extra singular vectors coming from the BPS condition.

Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation
This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

On the dual nature of partial theta functions and Appell-Lerch sums
In recent work, Hickerson and the author demonstrated that it is useful to think of Appell--Lerch sums as partial theta functions. This notion can be used to relate identities involving partial theta functions with identities involving Appell--Lerch sums.

Low‐affinity antibodies are frequently disregarded in discovery pipelines. This work reports P5‐1C8, a Class 1 SARS‐CoV‐2 antibody with weak trimer binding (KD‐to‐IC50 > 3700‐fold) yet potent neutralization of Omicron JN.1. Structural, biophysical, functional, and coarse‐grained simulations collectively demonstrate that transient inter‐spike IgG ...

Torque‐Transmitting Architected Metamaterials for Flexible and Extendable Tubular Robotics
Soft and continuum robots commonly rely on fluid, tendon, or rod‐based power transmissions, to control robotic form and actuation. This study presents an architected structure, based on patterned straight‐line mechanisms, that enables simultaneous bending, extending, and torsionally rigid (BETR) transmission.

Orientation reversal and the Chern-Simons natural boundary
We show that the fundamental property of preservation of relations, underlying resurgent analysis, provides a new perspective on crossing a natural boundary, an important general problem in theoretical and mathematical physics.

Screw‐Based Pill for Intelligent Robotic Extraction of Viscous Fluids in Medical Applications
Screw‐based pill for intelligent robotic extraction (S‐PIRE) is a magnetically actuated smart capsule with a motorized screw, 3‐axis sensor, and Bluetooth control for site‐specific and minimally invasive remote sampling of viscous fluids, overcoming passive diffusion limitations.

Effective Material Stiffness in Curved Actuators
A new actuator effective material stiffness measurement method is created. It produces a new metric called shape actuation modulus with the potential to help design actuators. This method shows that the smaller the curvature of hinge‐shaped actuators, the stiffer they are.
