A geometry-based approach to generate linear magnetoelectric coupling in ferromagnetic insulators with intrinsic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is demonstrated. Curvature effects on the magnetic state are shown break inversion symmetry of texture and activate macroscopic multipoles responsible for behavior.

BACKGROUND: Despite its many advantages, prepectoral breast reconstruction also carries the risk of implant rippling. The recent introduction partial superior coverage using a pectoralis muscle slip in direct-to-implant (DTI) has shown potential to minimize upper pole purpose this study was identify factors associated with rippling and effectiveness our surgical technique. METHODS: One hundred ...

This paper presents a method for effectively modeling the outer surfaces of inlay/onlay prostheses restoring teeth that are partially destroyed. We exploit 3D mesh deformation techniques: direct manipulation free-form deformation (DMFFD) [9] and multiple wires deformation (MWD) [10] with three kinds of information: standard teeth models, scanned mesh data from the plaster cast of a patient's to...

2D Materials It highlights the remarkable technological advances achieved in this work, that ice can be used to transfer materials, yielding ultraclean and ultra-uniform products. Compared traditional poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) method for materials transfer, which leads contamination rippling defects, ice-transfer by Jiong Zhao, Qingming Deng, Thuc Hue Ly, co-workers article number 221050...

Numerical simulations of collisionless supercritical quasi-perpendicular shocks suggest that the upstream whistlers may be generated near the shock by the reflected protons which gyrate back to the shock. We investigate in detail results of hybrid simulations and a linear theory for a gyrotropic gyrating beam in a Maxwellian plasma, and we compare their outcomes. We find good agreement between ...

We describe novel computational techniques for constructing induction rules for deductive synthesis proofs. Deductive synthesis holds out the promise of automated construction of correct computer programs from specifications of their desired behaviour. Synthesis of programs with iteration or recursion requires inductive proof, but standard techniques for the construction of appropriate inductio...
