Dual-unitary shadow tomography by Ahmed A. Akhtar, Namit Anand, Jeffrey Marshall, Yi-Zhuang You

“…Remarkably, we find that operator spreading in these circuits have a rich structure resembling that of relativistic quantum field theories, with massless chiral excitations that can decay or fuse into each other, which we call left- or right-movers. …”

Novel 3D porous semi-IPN hydrogel scaffolds of silk sericin and poly(N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide) for dermal reconstruction by S. Ross, M. Yooyod, N. Limpeanchob, S. Mahasaranon, N. Suphrom, G. M. Ross

“…In this work, a novel semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogel scaffold based on silk sericin (SS) and poly(N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide) (PHEA) was successfully fabricated via conventional free-radical polymerization. The porous structure of the scaffolds was introduced using a lyophilization technique and the effect of cross-linker (XL) on morphology, gelation time and physical properties of hydrogel scaffold was first studied. …”

Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling Monthly Crash Counts on Freeway Segments with Temporal Correlation by Qiang Zeng, Jiaren Sun, Huiying Wen

“…The DIC value of the AR-1 model is substantially lower than that of the random effect model and equivalent to that of the REAR-1 model, which indicates the superiority of the lag-1 autoregressive structure in accounting for the temporal effects in crash frequency.…”

The potential of unused railway areas by Jiří Kugl

“…This paper will explore the differences between “standard” brownfields and unused railway areas like the typical ownership structure, particular location within the city and the effect station has on the city structure, composition and topography of the areas or the fact that railway areas are most often never really fully abandoned and they do continue to serve in some, albeit diminished capacity. …”

Enhancing durability and erosion resistance of soils with varying plasticity using crosslinked biopolymers by M. Ashok Kumar, Arif Ali Baig Moghal, Romana Mariyam Rasheed, Ateekh Ur Rehman

“…To overcome these limitations, inter- or intra-crosslinking between the biopolymers has been recommended to modify the molecular structure. The current study investigated the effect of individual biopolymers (Xanthan gum and Guar gum) and crosslinked biopolymer on the erosion and durability characteristics of murrum, Medium plasticity clay, and High plasticity clay. …”
