Summary: In this paper, the two-dimensional nano-contact problem with surface effect was systematically investigated using Chen-Yao's surface elastic theory. The study found that the surface energy density of the indented bulk substrate is a key factor influencing contact properties, and numerical results showed significant differences between theoretical predictions with and without surface effects under specific conditions, indicating that surface effect led to substrate hardening.

Summary: A new integral equation is proposed to describe the behavior of the momentum space wave function in the one-dimensional Coulomb potential. The equation is found to be a homogeneous Fredholm integral equation of the second kind and a singular integral equation, due to a singularity in its kernel. The integral representation of the integral kernel plays a crucial role in solving this singular integral equation. The application of this technique allows the wave function in momentum representation to be simultaneously a solution of the homogeneous Fredholm integral equation and the linear Volterra integral equation.

Summary: We establish a universal least-sampling angular spectrum method for efficiently simulating off-axis diffraction with high accuracy. By converting off-axis diffraction to quasi-on-axis using the shifting property of Fourier transform and linking the angular spectrum to the transfer function, essential sampling requirements can be optimized and determined adaptively. Using a flexible matrix-based Fourier transform, we demonstrate significant speed improvement and the ability to compute ultra-large angles within seconds.

Summary: This article explores an efficient method for simulating off-axis diffraction and establishes a universal least-sampling angular spectrum method with high accuracy. By utilizing the shifting property of the Fourier transform to convert off-axis diffraction to quasi-on-axis and linking the angular spectrum to the transfer function, the necessary sampling requirements can be optimized and adaptively determined during computation. Using a flexible matrix-based Fourier transform, the off-axis point spread function of coded-aperture imaging systems is demonstrated, achieving a significant speed boost over the state of the art and enabling computation of ultra-large angles within seconds on a commercial computer. The applicability to high-frequency modulation is also investigated.

Summary: In this paper, the Half-Space Matching (HSM) method is extended to elastodynamics for solving time-harmonic 2D scattering problems in locally perturbed infinite anisotropic homogeneous media. The HSM formulation combines a variational formulation around the perturbations with Fourier integral representations of the outgoing solution in four overlapping half-spaces. Numerical results validate the method and demonstrate its robustness compared to the Perfectly Matched Layers (PML) method for anisotropic materials.

Summary: This paper analyzes the influence of surface effect on the bending of piezoelectric nanowires using the Euler-Bernoulli beam model and surface energy density theory. The governing equations and boundary conditions are derived, and analytical solutions for deflection, effective bending stiffness, and induced charge are obtained. The results show that the cantilever nanowires soften and have increased induced charges due to the surface effect, while the fixed nanowires strengthen and have decreased induced charges. This research is of great importance for the design of piezoelectric wire-based nano-devices and the characterization of nanowire mechanical properties.

Summary: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have great potential in photoelectron and spintronic devices, but the study of their properties under different growth conditions is challenging. There is a lack of understanding of the interactions between substrates and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in the context of ultrafast laser spectroscopy and dynamics.

Summary: MYCN amplification in neuroblastoma leads to aberrant expression of MYCN oncoprotein, which activates active genes and enhances transcriptional elongation. Super elongation complex (SEC) is identified as a vulnerability in MYCN-amplified neuroblastomas and is recruited by MYCN to enhance processive transcription elongation. Inhibition of SEC leads to global reduction in transcription elongation and selective apoptosis of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells, and synergistically enhances the therapeutic efficacy of BCL-2 antagonist ABT-199 in MYCN-amplified neuroblastomas.
