Cayley deformations of compact complex surfaces [PDF]
In this article, we consider Cayley deformations of a compact complex surface in a Calabi--Yau four-fold. We will study complex deformations of compact complex submanifolds of Calabi--Yau manifolds with a view to explaining why complex and Cayley deformations of a compact complex surface are the same.

The use of Bioceramics as root-end filling materials in periradicular surgery: a literature review [PDF]
Introduction: Periradicular surgery involves the placement of a root-end filling following root-end resection, to provide an apical seal to the root canal system. Historically several materials have been used in order to achieve this seal.

Communicating prognostic uncertainty in potential end-of-life contexts: experiences of family members [PDF]
Background: This article reports on the concept of “communicating prognostic uncertainty” which emerged from a mixed methods survey asking family members to rank their satisfaction in seven domains of hospital end-of-life care. Methods: Open-ended

Higher analogs of simplicial and combinatorial complexity [PDF]
We introduce higher simplicial complexity of a simplicial complex $K$ and higher combinatorial complexity of a finite space $P$ (i.e. $P$ is a finite poset). We relate higher simplicial complexity with higher topological complexity of $|K|$ and higher combinatorial complexity with higher simplicial complexity of the order complex of $P$.
