Genetic Algorithm Optimization for Designing Polarization-Maintaining Few-Mode Fibers with Uniform Doping Profiles

Photonics
To support mode-division multiplexing with reduced inter-modal crosstalk, we propose a novel polarization-maintaining few-mode fiber design with a uniform doping profile and no air holes.

Macrophage extracellular vesicles deliver Mef2d proteins to aggravate Bacteroides fragilis pathogenicity in type 2 diabetes arterial calcification

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Bacteroides fragilis is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) arterial calcification and can be activated by macrophage‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). BF takes up EVs via receptor‐mediated endocytosis, and activation is induced by EV‐derived Mef2d, thereby inhibiting ArsR family transcriptional regulator transcription.

A Framework for Subgroup Dynamics Through the System Dynamics Lens: An Integrative Review of the Attribute and the Network Views

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subgroups are dynamic entities evolving constantly in response to changing contexts and time. Although scholars from both the attribute and the network views have acknowledged that subgroups are inherently complex and fluid, research in these traditions has remained bifurcated, with limited efforts to integrate the two perspectives to more ...
