Topological Point Defects in SmC* Liquid Crystals Under Mechanical Disturbance
Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 11, 9 June 2026.Tangetial air jet shear inducess island formation and nucleates topological point defects in uniform SmC films. Island bounded by edge dislocation loops shrink and transform into isolated point defects under continued shear. Mechanical perturbatio provides a controllable route for defect engineering in smectric liquid crystal thin films.

M. E. Grant Duff, Philosophic Liberalism and the Global Liberal Cause
History, Volume 111, Issue 396, Page 347-368, June 2026.Abstract Historians disagree about how best to conceptualize nineteenth‐century British Liberalism in relation to its international contexts. This article argues that we can better understand the patterns involved by interrogating individuals who bridged the worlds of partisan politics and elaborated thought.

On projective wonderful models for toric arrangements and their cohomology
European Journal of Mathematics, 2020 Let \(T \simeq (\mathbb{C}^{*})^{n}\) be an \(n\)-dimensional torus and \(X^{*}(T)\) be its group of characters. A layer in \(T\) is a subvariety of \(T\) of the form \[ \mathcal{K}(\Gamma, \phi) := \{t \in T : \chi(t) = \phi(\chi) \text{ for all } \chi \in \Gamma\}, \] where \(\Gamma < X^{*}(T)\) is a split direct summand and \(\phi : \Gamma ...

Disraeli, Gladstone, and the Royal Titles Bill, 1876: Part 1
Parliamentary History, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 240-265, June 2026.Abstract The Royal Titles Bill (1876) proved to be contentious because it raised fraught issues of royal prerogative, constitutional legality, political perspective, parliamentary strategy, journalistic practice, and public opinion. Disraeli insisted that Queen Victoria could choose the supplementary title, empress of India, while Gladstone and his ...

Exploring patient involvement in target refraction decision‐making for cataract surgery
Optometry and Vision Science, Volume 103, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Purpose Post‐surgical emmetropia is frequently used as the target refraction in cataract surgery. Such target does not reflect guidance available from regulatory or professional bodies which recommend that the refractive implications of surgery, notably changes in post‐surgical spectacle needs, should be discussed with the patient.

Toric arrangement and discrete truncated power
, 2010 In this paper, by using the Laplace transform and the theory of toric arrangement, we show that discrete truncated power is a periodic piecewise polynomial on the shifted integral lattice cone. Based on the toric reduction method in the real field, we give a toric arrangement method to compute discrete truncated power.

Stabilization of Poincaré duality complexes and homotopy gyrations
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Stabilization of manifolds by a product of spheres or a projective space is important in geometry. There has been considerable recent work that studies the homotopy theory of stabilization for connected manifolds. This paper generalizes that work by developing new methods that allow for a generalization to stabilization of Poincaré duality ...

A Miyaoka–Yau inequality for hyperplane arrangements in CPn$\mathbb {CP}^n$
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Let H$\mathcal {H}$ be a hyperplane arrangement in CPn$\mathbb {CP}^n$. We define a quadratic form Q$Q$ on RH$\mathbb {R}^{\mathcal {H}}$ that is entirely determined by the intersection poset of H$\mathcal {H}$. Using the Bogomolov–Gieseker inequality for parabolic bundles, we show that if a∈RH$\mathbf {a}\in \mathbb {R}^{\mathcal {H}}$ is ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 144-159, March 2026.The present study uses the Modified Mohr‐Coulomb true‐triaxial failure criterion (MMC_TT), which predicts the strength of rock better than the MGC criterion in laboratory true‐triaxial tests to overcome the limitations. Moreover, based on the data from previously published five vertical wells in the Krishna‐Godavari basin (K‐G basin), an empirical ...

Rational points in a family of conics over F2(t)$\mathbb {F}_2(t)$
Mathematische Nachrichten, Volume 299, Issue 3, Page 496-513, March 2026.Abstract Serre famously showed that almost all plane conics over Q$\mathbb {Q}$ have no rational point. We investigate versions of this over global function fields, focusing on a specific family of conics over F2(t)$\mathbb {F}_2(t)$ which illustrates new behavior.
