Abstract The internal structures of metallic products are important in realizing functional applications. Considering the manufacturing inner structures, laser-based powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is an attractive approach because its layering principle enables fabrication parts with customized interior structures. However, inferior surface quality L-PBF components hinders productization progress se...

The theory of the inflationary multiverse changes the way we think about our place in the world. According to its most popular version, our world may consist of infinitely many exponentially large parts, exhibiting different sets of low-energy laws of physics. Since these parts are extremely large, the interior of each of them behaves as if it were a separate universe, practically unaffected by...

Mexico’s malaria campaign, initiated in 1955, has had considerable success in many malarious parts of the country. The initial technique used, like that employed in most other Central and South American countries, involved applying DDT at a dosage of two grams per square meter to the indoor walls, interior roofs, and exterior eaves of houses. It was subsequently reported, on the basis of four y...

Many interesting pieces of music violate established structures or rules of their genre on purpose. These songs can be very atypical in their interior structure and their different parts might actually allude to entirely different other songs or genres. We present a query-by-example-based user interface that shows songs related to the one currently playing. This relation is not based on overall...

A laska is the largest state (1,477,270 square kilometers), more than twice as large as Texas and one-fifth the size of the lower 48 contiguous states. Alaska extends more than 20° in latitude, from Point Barrow at 71°23' to Amatignak Island in the Aleutians at 51°20'. It spans 42° in longitude, from 130° at the Portland Canal in the southeast to 172° at Attu Island in the western Aleutians (Fi...

The theme of this article is to characterize the quasi-isometry type of a proper metric space via certain Banach algebra of functions on it, called the Higson algebra.

In the last six years remarkable developments have taken place concerning the representation theory of N=2 superconformal algebras. Here we present the highlights of such developments.

We examine blocks of the Ariki–Koike algebra, in an attempt to generalise the combinatorial representation theory of the Iwahori–Hecke algebra of type A. We identify a particular type of combinatorial block, which we call a core block, which may be viewed as an analogue of a simple block of the Iwahori–Hecke algebra. We give equivalent characterisations of core blocks and examine their basic co...
