Back-action supercurrent rectifiers by Daniel Margineda, Alessandro Crippa, Elia Strambini, Laura Borgongino, Alessandro Paghi, Giorgio de Simoni, Lucia Sorba, Yuri Fukaya, Maria Teresa Mercaldo, Carmine Ortix, Mario Cuoco, Francesco Giazotto

“…Supercurrent diodes presented so far rely on magnetic elements or vortices to mediate charge transport or external magnetic fields to break time-reversal symmetry. Back-action solely turns a conventional reciprocal superconducting weak link with no asymmetry between the current bias directions into a rectifier, where the critical current amplitude depends on the bias sign. …”

Une famille transatlantique : les Fleuriau by Jacques de Cauna

“…We can clearly see today, through the new context of cultural studies, how French families dealt with colonial contingencies characterized in particular by the presence of Blacks and free men of color in La Rochelle (he brought back with him two of his daughters of color and gave plantations and slaves to his sons of color who stayed back in Saint-Domingue) with an undeniable flexibility in the adaptation of their traditional strategies regarding kinship, marriage, godparents, and inheritance.The family of La Rochelle is in a way remodelled in the light of the Domingan slave society, but still seeking to preserve the interests of its members. …”

WiFi-based Respiration Detection Aided by Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces by Yun WU, Dongheng ZHANG, Ganlin ZHANG, Xuecheng XIE, Fengquan ZHAN, Yan CHEN

“…However, existing WiFi-based respiration detection methods are susceptible to constraints imposed by hardware limitations and require the person to directly face the WiFi device. Specifically, signal reflection from the thoracic cavity diminishes when the body is oriented sideways or with the back toward the device, leading to complexities in respiratory monitoring. …”

Study of nonlinear wave equation of optical field for solotonic type results by Ikram Ullah, Muhammad Bilal, Dawood Shah, Hasib Khan, Jehad Alzabut, Hisham Mohammad Alkhawar

“…This paper uses the fractional perturbed Gerdjikov–Ivanov (PGI) model, a basic mathematical framework in mathematical physics and nonlinear dynamics, to examine complex wave structures using the M-fractional operator and modified Extended Direct Algebraic Method (mEDAM). We find a wide variety of new optical wave solutions, such as kink-type, dark, brilliant, periodic, combo, exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic solutions. our examine the dynamic behavior and free parameters of these soliton solutions using contour plots and three-dimensional charts. …”
