Dynamics and resilience of the unconventional charge density wave in ScV6Sn6 bilayer kagome metal

Abstract Long-range electronic ordering descending from a metallic parent state constitutes a rich playground to study the interplay of structural and electronic degrees of freedom. In this framework, kagome metals are in the most interesti...

Computational analysis of visible frequency plasmonic properties of graphene on wide band gap heterostructures

Abstract Control over plasmonic properties and local electric field enhancement has become an essential aspect of many modern technologies. Here we investigate these phenomena in graphene / hexagonal boron nitride (G/h-BN) heterostructures ...

Phosphopeptide binding to the N-SH2 domain of tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 correlates with the unzipping of its central β-sheet

SHP2 is a tyrosine phosphatase that plays a regulatory role in multiple intracellular signaling cascades and is known to be oncogenic in certain contexts. In the absence of effectors, SHP2 adopts an autoinhibited conformation with its N-SH2...

Fitness-based models and pairwise comparison models of evolutionary games are typically different—even in unstructured populations

The modeling of evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations requires microscopic processes that determine how strategies spread. The exact details of these processes are often chosen without much further consideration. Different types ...

Covariant four dimensional differential calculus in κ-Minkowski

It is generally believed that it is not possible to have a four dimensional differential calculus in κ-Minkowski spacetime, with κ-Poincaré relativistic symmetries, covariant under (κ-deformed) Lorentz transformations. Thus, one usually int...

Phage Genetic Engineering Using CRISPR–Cas Systems

Since their discovery over a decade ago, the class of prokaryotic immune systems known as CRISPR–Cas have afforded a suite of genetic tools that have revolutionized research in model organisms spanning all domains of life. CRISPR-medi...

Right-lateral offset associated with the most recent earthquake on the Ikeda fault of the Median Tectonic Line, southwest Japan, revealed by ground-penetrating radar profiling

Abstract The Median Tectonic Line (MTL) is an arc-parallel strike-slip fault that accommodates much of the arc-parallel component of the oblique convergence of the Philippine Sea and Eurasian plates at the Nankai Trough. The MTL in Shikoku ...

Visionary figures in the field of electrochemistry who revolutionized voltammetry

Understanding energetics and electron behavior has been pivotal in elucidating numerous fundamental phenomena, including electricity, corrosion, respiration, energy generation in biological systems, intermolecular interactions within living...

Correlating single-molecule rupture mechanics with cell population adhesion by yeast display

Here, we present a method based on yeast surface display that allows for direct comparison between population-level cell adhesion strength and single-molecule receptor-ligand rupture mechanics. We developed a high-throughput yeast adhesion ...

Evaluation of Cooperation Strategy in Financial Services Supply Chain Based on Prospect Theory and Game Theory

Based on the prospect theory, the current research evaluated the cooperation strategy in the financial services supply chain. This research was descriptive in data collection and quantitative in terms of method. The game theory approach in ...

Correction : Low carbon futures: assessing the status of decarbonisation efforts at universities within a 2050 perspective

The impact of preservation technology investments on lot-sizing and shipment strategies in a three-echelon food supply chain involving growing and deteriorating items

Food production systems are complex industrial operations that often involve multiple parties. This study proposes inventory management strategies for a multi-echelon perishable food supply chain with growing and deteriorating items. The up...

RFID Applications and Security Review

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is widely used in several contexts, such as logistics, supply chains, asset tracking, and health, among others, therefore drawing the attention of many researchers. This paper presents a review of the m...

Applying Industrial Internet of Things Analytics to Manufacturing

The proliferation of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies has created a new manufacturing landscape for manufacturing, requiring that companies follow I4.0 trends to stay competitive. However, in this novel digital automated environment, these ...

Practice and challenges of humanitarian logistics management within the Ethiopian public pharmaceutical supply chain

Abstract Background Humanitarian logistics involves the coordinated movement of relief goods, personnel, information, and funds between beneficiaries, donors, and suppliers, which is crucial for successful emergency response operations. In ...
