So far, investigations involving intimate covalent or ionic bonds have not been a focus. Yet, we show here that an established technique, involving thermocompressional wafer bonding, works well for creating twisted non-van der Waals interfaces. We have successfully bonded z-cut lithium niobate single crystals to create ferroelectric oxide interfaces with strong polar discontinuities and have mapped the associated emergent interfacial conductivity. In some instances, a dramatic change in microstructure occurs, involving local dipolar switching. A twist-induced collapse in the capability of the system to effec8tively screen interfacial bound charge is implied. Importantly, this only occurs around specific moiré twist angles with sparse coincident lattices and associated short-range aperiodicity.

The findings indicated that highly reactive aldehydes achieved conversion rates exceeding 90%, in contrast to their less reactive counterparts. Furthermore, these results were juxtaposed with previously published data derived from alternative synthetic methodologies, revealing that the continuous microfluidic reactions employing integrated organocatalysts within polymer networks exhibited significantly higher conversions with reduced reaction times (8 h) at the same temperature (50 °C). Additionally, the influence of different geometries (round, triangular, and square) of the gel dots on catalytic activity was investigated, with round and square gel dots demonstrating slightly superior performance compared with triangular gel dots, attributed to their increased surface area.

Extensive research has been conducted to enhance the multiplexing capacity for diverse wavefronts. However, the independence of multiplexed channels is fundamentally restricted in techniques using single‐layer metasurfaces, resulting in unavoidable crosstalk and the need for post‐filtering of the output wavefronts. Here, a universal wavefront multiplexing concept is presented based on non‐injective transformation. By employing joint optimization on two metasurfaces, different channels can be independently designed without any constraints on the output wavefronts. To validate this approach, ultra‐compact orbital angular momentum (OAM) sorters are designed. In these experiments, the output beams from different channels can be independently mapped to 2D positions with high fineness. In another application of wavefront‐multiplexed holography, 10‐channel multiplexing is experimentally achieved with minimal crosstalk and without the need for post‐processing. These results demonstrate the independence between channels enabled by the non‐injective transformation in the method. The precise wavefront control and high multiplexing capacity underscore its potential for scalable wavefront manipulation devices.}}, author = {{Jin, Xiao and Zentgraf, Thomas}}, issn = {{0935-9648}}, journal = {{Advanced Materials}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Independent Wavefront Multiplexing with Metasurfaces via Non‐Injective Transformation}}}, doi = {{10.1002/adma.202511823}}, volume = {{38}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inbook{36895, author = {{Webersen, Yvonne and Riese, Josef}}, booktitle = {{Demokratiebildung in der Lehrkräftebildung (Arbeitstitel).

At the mouth of the Weser and in the back of the Dutch republic, Jever conjoined the Western and Nordic struggles of the seventeenth century. It proved crucial during the French invasions of the Low Countries and it enabled Denmark-Norway to march on a wider front against Swedish possessions on the continent. When the Danish king in 1677 tried to add Jever to his Oldenburg titles, he was thus locked in a conflict between Spain and France regarding the overlordship over Jever. This revealed larger interests because Jever was connected to the Holy Roman Empire through feudal bonds with the Spanish Netherlands and the Burgundian Circle that unified these Netherlands. The presentation will show how the prima vista dichotomy of French or Spanish overlordship over Jever carried the real debate whether Jever – and thus the Spanish Netherlands – belonged to the Empire or not. In claiming the right to hand Jever to Denmark for an alliance, French Louis XIV not only severed the Spanish Netherlands from imperial support. He also disintegrated them. Spain therefore couldn’t accept foreign overlordship over Netherlandish fiefs and needed Jever to solicit Danish support against the French. Meanwhile, the Emperor fought the intrusion of France’s Réunion policy in the Empire whilst Brandeburg and Sweden meddled to manoeuvre Denmark within the ongoing Nordic struggle. The outcome of the debate (at the imperial Diet as well as the Danish court) would ultimately decide the margins within the Empire to choose alliances.

However, their effectiveness in low-resource languages remains underexplored, particularly in complex tasks such as end-to-end Entity Linking (EL), which requires both mention detection and disambiguation against a knowledge base (KB). In earlier work, we introduced IndEL — the first end-to-end EL benchmark dataset for the Indonesian language — covering both a general domain (news) and a specific domain (religious text from the Indonesian translation of the Quran), and evaluated four traditional end-to-end EL systems on this dataset. In this study, we propose ELEVATE-ID, a comprehensive evaluation framework for assessing LLM performance on end-to-end EL in Indonesian. The framework evaluates LLMs under both zero-shot and fine-tuned conditions, using multilingual and Indonesian monolingual models, with Wikidata as the target KB. Our experiments include performance benchmarking, generalization analysis across domains, and systematic error analysis. Results show that GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 achieve the highest accuracy in zero-shot and fine-tuned settings, respectively.

Interestingly, GPT-3.5 outperforms Babelfy in the specific domain. Generalization analysis indicates that fine-tuned GPT-3.5 adapts more effectively to cross-domain and mixed-domain scenarios. Error analysis uncovers persistent challenges that hinder LLM performance: difficulties with non-complete mentions, acronym disambiguation, and full-name recognition in formal contexts.

Even more general is the graph parameter clique-width, which unlike treewidth can be small for dense graphs. Although algorithms are available for clique-width, little is known about encodings. We initiate the quest to understand encoding capabilities with clique-width by considering abstract argumentation, which is a robust framework for reasoning with conflicting arguments.

In this study, we evaluate two distinct dsRNA formulation strategies for improved stability and delivery: a bottom-up approach using chitosan-based interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPEC) and a top-down approach employing functionalized mesoporous silica carriers (SBA-15). Both systems were comprehensively characterized in terms of size, surface potential, porosity, and release behavior. The results revealed that IPECs exhibited release kinetics that were approximately one order of magnitude faster than those of SBA-15 across all tested conditions. The two formulations significantly improved dsRNA stability against UV and heat exposure compared to free dsRNA. In feeding assays with P. chrysocephala, both carriers achieved comparable gene silencing efficacy, though dsRNA@IPEC induced more immediate effects, while dsRNA@SBA-15 displayed delayed but ultimately stronger reduction in consumed leaf area, consistent with its slower release kinetics.

By applying a combined preheating and ramping current profile, a coordinated “shell-first, nugget-second” sequence is achieved.
