Smart copolymer microgels with high volume phase transition temperature: Composition, swelling, and morphology
The thermosensitivity and microstructure of microgels made by copolymerizing standard microgel-forming monomers with more hydrophilic comonomers is investigated, with the aim of increasing the volume phase transition temperature (VPTT). We precisely determine the incorporation of N-(hydroxymethyl)acrylamide (HMAM) and purpose-synthesized N-(2-hydroxyisopropyl)acrylamide (HIPAM) into microgels -- neither of which forms microgels on its own by precipitation polymerization. The swelling properties…

Mahānāma: A Unique Testbed for Literary Entity Discovery and Linking
High lexical variation, ambiguous references, and long-range dependencies make entity resolution in literary texts particularly challenging. We present Mahānāma, the first large-scale dataset for end-to-end Entity Discovery and Linking (EDL) in Sanskrit, a morphologically rich and under-resourced language. Derived from the Mahābhārata, the world's longest epic, the dataset comprises over 109K named entity mentions mapped to 5.5K unique entities, and is aligned with an English knowledge base…

A shear cell study on oral and inhalation grade lactose powders
Shear cell tests have been conducted on twenty different lactose powders, most of which commercially available for oral or inhalation purposes, spanning a wide range of particle sizes, particle morphologies, production processes. The aims of the investigation were: i) to verify the reliability of the technique in evaluating and classifying the flowability of powders; ii) to understand the connection between the flowability of a powder and the morphological properties of its particles; iii) to f…

Ms. Marvel is #1. 🤷
Sure, I liked the show... but is it better than Loki, Wandavision, Moon Knight, Hawkeye... even She-Hulk?
No. Just... no. I gotta wonder if this is an #MCU fan troll.

In 2020, there were some people who marveled at how China built hospitals quickly to handle the start of the pandemic.
Now, some people are marveling over how the US has quickly built a camp in the Everglades to concentrate people.
There are many issues with how China runs itself as a country, and denies human rights to people.
But so too, there are issues with how the US runs itself as a country, and denies human rights to people 😳
The heart breaks.

Death by Impact: Evidence for Merger-Driven Quenching in a Collisional Ring Galaxy at Cosmic Noon
The role of interactions and mergers in the rapid quenching of massive galaxies in the early Universe remains uncertain, largely due to the difficulty of directly linking mergers to quenching. Collisional ring galaxies provide a unique opportunity, as their morphology allows precise dating of the interaction, which can then be compared to quenching timescales inferred from star formation histories. We study a gravitationally bound system at $z=1.61$ in the UDS field, composed of a Host galaxy (…

Elastic Metastability: Thermally Activated Snap-through Transitions in Nanostructures
The morphological snap-through transition of a bistable elastic structure typically requires external loading, unless it is miniaturized to the nanoscale, where thermal fluctuations play a significant role. We propose that metastability can emerge in microscopic elastic systems when coupled to a thermal environment, giving rise to thermally activated transitions between metastable configurations. Using atomistic simulations combined with rare event methods, we demonstrate that snap-through even…
