Guiding and Manipulating Light Fields in Microstructured Liquid Crystals

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in guided‐wave optics enabled by microstructured liquid crystal (LC) devices, covering their fundamental material properties, key degree of freedom for dynamic light field manipulations. The advances of linear guided‐wave optics, nonlinear‐optics with spatial optical solitons, and microlasers in LC‐based devices ...

Comprehensive DFT Analysis of FeSi and RhSi: Structural Stability, Electronic Contrast and Transport‐Optical Responses

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This comprehensive density functional theory analysis investigates the structural, electronic, optical, mechanical, and thermoelectric properties of FeSi, c‐RhSi, and o‐RhSi. Results reveal distinct electronic and optical contrasts among the materials.

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

Effect of esomeprazole on the pharmacokinetics of vepdegestrant, a PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera oestrogen receptor degrader, in healthy participants

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of multiple doses of esomeprazole, a strong proton pump inhibitor and acid‐reducing agent, on the pharmacokinetics and safety of vepdegestrant, a PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera oestrogen receptor degrader.

Is the well‐known phrase ‘small is beautiful’ true of small transnational education institutions?

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this research is to consider the potential attractiveness of operating a small international branch campus (IBC). Drawing upon resource‐based and legitimacy theories, we examine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with the business model that is based on having a small institution size.

Sound Absorption Properties of Shredded Paper Wastes as Indoor Building Sound Absorber

BioResources
The sound absorption properties of shredded paper wastes (SPW) were evaluated. Two impedance tubes (large and small) were used to measure the sound absorption coefficient of different thicknesses of SPW sound-absorber (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 mm). As the
