Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Quantization of Polaritons Confined in Dielectric Structures

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This study addresses the limitations of the Hopfield model of strong light‐matter coupling in the case of structured dieletrics. A method to derive quantum models in the polariton basis using Bogoliubov transformation and third quantization is introduced, demonstrating how to boost interaction strength and engineer nonlocal interactions for strongly ...

Disagreement about logic [PDF]

, 2019
What do we disagree about when we disagree about logic? On the face of it, classical and nonclassical logicians disagree about the laws of logic and the nature of logical properties. Yet, sometimes the parties are accused of talking past each other.

Bifunctional Electrocatalysts in Rechargeable Lithium‐Gas Batteries: Material Evolution and Mechanistic Insights from Metal‐Free Carbons to Carbon‐Supported Single‐Atom Sites

Small, EarlyView.
This review charts the material evolution of bifunctional electrocatalysts for rechargeable lithium‐gas batteries. It highlights the journey from heteroatom‐doped, metal‐free carbon architectures to precision‐engineered carbon‐supported single‐atom sites. The discussion focuses on mechanistic insights into how these catalysts govern reversible O2, CO2,

Reopening the Dutch Book

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTProbabilism is the thesis that the degrees of belief of rational agents behave like Kolmogorovian probabilities. There are quite different lines of argument for probabilism in the literature, including Dutch book arguments, arguments based on representation theorems, and epistemic utility arguments. This paper focusses on the Dutch book line of

Referential Indeterminacy and De Re Thoughts

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Referential indeterminacy may seem to leave little room for de re or singular thoughts about ordinary objects. I argue that this impression is misleading. We can direct our thoughts at particular objects, even though there is no fact of the matter as to which objects are referred to by the singular terms purporting to stand for them.

Quantifiers for a Modal Future

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Future auxiliaries present a challenge to the classical analysis of modal expressions as existential or universal quantifiers over a contextually provided set of possible worlds: these expressions come with a distinct modal flavor, but their interaction with negation and the fact that future judgments come in degrees of confidence is ...

Vague Mereology and Borderline Connections

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The summit of Mt Everest is determinately part of it; parts of the Khumbu Glacier are determinately not. In between are a range of candidate parts whose mereological status with respect to Mt Everest is unsettled. Among the various accounts of vagueness, supervaluationism has received a great deal of attention.

High‐Fidelity Integrated Quantum Photonic Logic Via Robust Directional Couplers

Advanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
Fabrication variations usually degrade photonic quantum gates by shifting directional‐coupler splitting ratios. Stationary‐geometry couplers flatten this sensitivity at the device level. When embedded in an integrated two‐photon CNOT gate, this passive design lowers the mean error probability without tuning or added footprint, pointing toward more ...

A Logic of Comparative Support: Qualitative Conditional Probability Relations Representable by Popper Functions

, 2017
Revising classical logic—to deal with the paradoxes of self-reference, or vague propositions, for the purposes of scientific theory or of metaphysical anti-realism—requires the revision of probability theory.
