We introduce a framework based on the percolation idea to investigate the relaxation under zero-temperature Glauber and outflow dynamics on L x L square and triangular lattices. This helps us to understand the appearance of a double time regime in the survival probability. We show that the first, short-time, regime corresponds to relaxation through droplets and the second, long-time, regime corresponds to relaxation through stripes. For both dynamics the probability that the system becomes ordered through droplets (which indicates fast relaxation) is about 2/3 .

Recent studies on topological materials are expanding into the nonlinear regime, while the central principle, namely the bulk-edge correspondence, is yet to be elucidated in the strongly nonlinear regime. Here, we reveal that nonlinear topological edge modes can exhibit the transition to spatial chaos by increasing nonlinearity, which can be a universal mechanism of the breakdown of the bulk-edge correspondence. Specifically, we unveil the underlying dynamical system describing the spatial distribution of zero modes and show the emergence of chaos.

Dispersal plays a crucial role in the development and ecology of biofilms. While extensive studies focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing this process, few have characterized the associated temporal changes in composition and structure. Here, we employed solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to achieve time-resolved characterization of Bacillus subtilis biofilms over a 5-day period.

Two-dimensional (2D) optomechanical crystals (OMCs) are favorable candidates that satisfy those requirements. 2D OMCs enable sufficiently high mechanical frequency (1∼10 GHz) to make the resolved-sideband regime achievable, a prerequisite for many quantum protocols.

Lightweight flexible piezoelectric devices have garnered significant interest over the past few decades due to their applications as energy harvesters and wearable sensors. Among different piezoelectrically active polymers, poly(vinylidene fluoride) and its copolymers have attracted considerable attention for energy conversion due to their high flexibility, thermal stability, and biocompatibility. However, the orientation of polymer chains for self-poling under mild conditions is still a challenging task.

Background: To date, there has been limited exploration, particularly on a national scale, of the prevalence patterns of comorbidities and complications associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Colombia. We aimed to analyze the prevalence patterns of comorbidities and disease-related complications of RA patients enrolled in Colombia's contributory healthcare regime.
Methods: We performed a nationwide observational descriptive cross-sectional study using administrative claims data.
