Based on Carroll's derivation that describes a symmetric liquid drop sitting on an infinite cylindrical fiber and the shape of the drop, we have extended the derivation to describe a drop located at the bottom of cylindrical fibers standing on flat substrates. According to our derivation, the shape of the drop forms a bell as predicted by Carroll but is cut off by the flat substrate. This theoretical prediction was verified experimentally using water, ethylene glycol, and Kaydol drops on glass, nylon and polypropylene cylindrical fibers, and on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyester (PET) flat substrates. We found that only four parameters are required to obtain agreement between the theoretical shape and the observed shape: the drop volume, the fiber radius, the liquid-fiber contact angle, and liquid-flat substrate contact angle.

Polymer nanoparticles with low curvature, especially two-dimensional (2D) soft materials, are rich in functions and outstanding properties and have received extensive attention. Crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) of linear semicrystalline block copolymers is currently a common method of constructing 2D platelets of uniform size. Although accompanied by high controllability, this CDSA method usually and inevitably requires a longer aging time and lower assembly concentration, limiting the large-scale preparation of nanoaggregates.

Article Synopsis
- * Sprague-Dawley rats underwent a surgical procedure to create bone defects, after which the new scaffold was implanted and assessed for biocompatibility and effectiveness over 8 and 12 weeks.
- * Results showed that the ICA/porous magnesium alloy scaffold enhanced bone regeneration and expression of important proteins related to bone health, with the SIRT1-Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway likely playing a key role in this process.

To address geotechnical engineering issues such as pile driving, lateral pressure tests, and static cone penetration tests on increasing number of infrastructure projects being constructed on landfills, an elasto-plastic theoretical solution for the undrained cylindrical cavity expansion in refuse soil is proposed in this paper based on an elasto-plastic constitutive model for refuse soil considering the reinforcement effect of fibers, along with a large deformation theory. The correctness of the results is validated through comparison with existing solutions based on the modified Cam-clay model. The results indicate that the response of columnar pore expansion in refuse soil is significantly different from that in ordinary soil.

In this work, we propose and demonstrate an all-polarization-maintaining (PM) random fiber laser (RFL) based on a half-open cavity that can simultaneously generate linearly polarized fundamental modes and higher-order modes. Then a cylindrical vector beam (CVB) of azimuthal polarization is generated by the mode superposition method with mode purity exceeding 93.

Self-assembly of α-D nucleosides to supramolecular hydrogels is described in detail. Hydrogel formation was studied on α-D 2'-deoxyguanosine (α-dG), and the fluorescent 8-azapurine α-D nucleosides 2-amino-8-aza-2'-deoxyadenosine (α-2-NH2-z8Ad) and 8-aza-2'-deoxyisoguanosine (α-z8iGd). These compounds were prepared from α-D 8-aza-2'-deoxyguanosine by an activation/amination protocol followed by deamination.
