Closed N=2 Strings: Picture-Changing, Hidden Symmetries and SDG Hierarchy
We study the action of picture-changing and spectral flow operators on a ground ring of ghost number zero operators in the chiral BRST cohomology of the closed N=2 string and describe an infinite set of symmetry charges acting on physical states.

Comparison of matroid intersection algorithms for large circuit analysis [PDF]
This paper presents two approaches to symbolic analysis of large analog integrated circuits via simplification during the generation of the symbolic expressions. Both techniques are examined from the point of view of matroid theory.

Nanoporous Microelectrodes for Neural Electrophysiology Recordings in Organotypic Culture
The highly porous microelectrodes have been designed and printed on culture membranes, allowing to record electrophysiological neural activity for rodent brain slices. To keep the biocompatible nanoporous structure, the microelectrodes and insulative layer are fabricated on the bottom of culture membranes with only small connector pads added on the top.

Chiral potassium base catalysts featuring 1,1´‐bi‐2‐naphthol‐derived chiral crown ethers as ligands promote a tandem allylic isomerization/asymmetric aldol‐Tishchenko reaction of allylic alcohols and aldehydes. This method provides enantioenriched 1,3‐diols with excellent diastereoselectivity and high enantioselectivity, thereby expanding the synthetic

This study analyses the uncertainty and variability existing in the economic performance of polylactic acid (PLA) production, via integrating techno‐economic analysis with process models and Monte Carlo simulation enabled by artificial intelligence. The results show that the minimum selling price varies from $2,107 to $3076/t PLA.
