A major challenge in topological magnetism lies in the three-dimensional (3D) exploration of their magnetic textures. A recent focus has been the question of how 2D skyrmion sheets vertically stack to form distinct types of 3D topological strings. Being able to manipulate the vertical coupling should therefore provide a route to the engineering of topological states. Here, we present a new type of axially bound magnetic skyrmion string state in which the strings in two distinct materials are glued together across their interface. With quasi-tomographic resonant elastic X-ray scattering, the 3D skyrmion profiles before and after their binding across the interface were unambiguously determined and compared. Their attractive binding is accompanied by repulsive twisting; i.e., the coupled skyrmions mutually affect each other via a compensating twisting. This state exists in chiral magnet-magnetic thin film heterostructures, providing a new arena for the engineering of 3D topological phases.

Purpose: To examine whether incorporating anatomy-centred deep learning can improve generalisability and enable prediction of disease progression.
Methods: This retrospective multicentre study included conventional pelvic radiographs of four different patient cohorts focusing on axial spondyloarthritis collected at university and community hospitals. The first cohort, which consisted of 1483 radiographs, was split into training (n=1261) and validation (n=222) sets.

The systemic administration of chemotherapeutic drugs involves some reaction and transport mechanisms (RTMs), including perfusion along the blood vessels, extravasation, lymphatic drainage, interstitial and transmembrane transport, and protein association and dissociation, among others. When tissue is subjected to the controlled application of electric pulses (electroporation), the vessel wall and cell membrane are permeabilized, capillaries are vasoconstricted and tissue porosity is modified, affecting the RTMs during electro-chemotherapeutic treatments. This study is a theoretical investigation about the influence of the electric field magnitude (E), number of electroporation treatments (N) and duration of each electroporation protocol (T) on the presence, interaction and rates of the RTMs using in-house computational tools.

However, these complexes tend to be bent, imposing a transverse field that reduces the purity of the projections of the CF states and promotes magnetic relaxation. A complex with only one charge-dense anionic ligand could have more pure CF states, and thus high and .

We develop a new all-dielectric metasurface for designing high quality-factor (-factor) quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs) using asymmetry kite-shaped nanopillar arrays. The -factors of quasi-BICs follow the quadratic dependence on the geometry asymmetry, and meanwhile their resonant spectral profiles can be readily tuned between Fano and Lorentzian lineshapes through the interplay with the broadband magnetic dipole mode. The third-harmonic signals of quasi-BIC modes exhibit a gain from 43.

Article Synopsis
- - A new model for liquid chromatographic reactors (LKM) is developed, focusing on mass and energy balances through nonlinear equations that involve complex reactions and varying concentrations over time.
- - The model is mathematically challenging due to the nonlinear nature of adsorption and reaction kinetics, so a specific numerical method called the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method is used to solve the equations.
- - The study includes extensive simulations to examine how temperature and concentration gradients affect reactor performance, validates the model through rigorous testing, and offers insights into the complexities of how substances convert and separate in these reactors.
