The book of unwyse magic
Years before, Ava's family left the town of Wyse in a shroud of mystery--some scandal to do with magical mirrors. Now returning as indentured servants, twelve-year-old Ava and her brother, Matthew, suspect their new master, Lord Skinner, is up to no good. Ava is determined to discover the truth--about what happened to her family, and about the connection between the human and fairy worlds. Along the way, she meets friends and foes and faces real danger. Will she survive and solve the mystery?

Lucrezia Borgia alla luce trasmessa
The article analyses the complex digitisation project of Lucrezia Borgia's letters and registers recently carried out by the tech company Haltadefinizione at the State Archive of Modena. In addition to gigapixel acquisition, this case also involved the use of transmitted light digitisation in ultra-high resolution, allowing the unveiling of the watermarks in the documents. The article explores various methodologies used in the digitisation campaign and emphasises how these advanced high-resolution imaging techniques are a fundamental tool for preserving and making these valuable historical documents accessible.

Mirror magic
\"Since Zach finally recovered his magical powers, middle school has never been better--he's teaming up with his best friend, Aaron, on their super-popular YouTube channel and talking to the nicest, smartest, prettiest girl in school, Rachel. But when Zach magically \"passes through\" a magical mirror, he lands in a world that is the exact opposite of everything he's ever known. Instead of finding himself at Horace Greeley Middle School, he's at Horace Greeley MAGIC School. And in this world of opposites, everyone here has magic except him. Even worse, Zach is stuck in this world AND his alter-ego, the newly magical Jack, has passed in to Zach's world and now living his life and getting into all sorts of trouble. Fortunately, Zach can always count on his friends--even this mixed-up magical world's versions of them! If he can just convince the guys about the truth of his world-jumping misadventure, Zach knows, they'll work together to figure out how to put everyone back where they belong--before it's too late. It's another hilarious adventure from the online and Instagram sensation Zach King\"--Jacket.

Measurements of fusion yield on the Centrifugal Mirror Fusion Experiment
The Centrifugal Mirror Fusion Experiment (CMFX) at the University of Maryland, College Park is a rotating mirror device that utilizes a central cathode to generate a radial electric field which induces a strongly sheared azimuthal E × B flow to improve plasma confinement and stability. The fusion yield of CMFX plasmas is assessed by diagnosis of neutron emission for the first time. The total neutron yield is measured with two xylene (EJ-301) and deuterated-xylene (EJ-301D) liquid scintillator detectors absolutely calibrated with an in silico method. A larger xylene scintillator was cross-calibrated and used to measure the time dynamics of the fusion rate under various experimental conditions. A permanently installed 3He gas tube detector was independently calibrated with a Cf-252 neutron source to make total yield measurements and provide an independent validation of the scintillator calibration. An interpretive modeling framework was developed using the 0D code MCTrans++ (Schwartz et al 2024 J. Plasma Phys. 90 905900217) to infer undiagnosed plasma parameters such as density, temperature, and confinement time. A peak neutron emission rate of 8.4×106±7.0×105 was measured (neglecting modeling uncertainties), with an inferred triple product of 1.9×1017 m−3 keV s from 0D modeling.

A house without mirrors
Thomasine has spent months living in her great-great aunt's dusty, dark house with her father, and her aunt, uncle and cousins. While her father's siblings bicker about how much the house must be worth, her distant, elderly aunt is upstairs, dying, and her father has disappeared inside himself, still mourning the death of Thomasine's little brother. But one day, her youngest cousin makes a discovery: a wardrobe, filled with all the mirrors missing from the big house. And through the mirrors, a different world -- one in which you can find not what you most wish for, but perhaps what you most need.

Theta functions on varieties with effective anti-canonical class
We show that a large class of maximally degenerating families of
We anticipate that wall structures can be
constructed quite generally from maximal degenerations. The construction given here then provides the homogeneous coordinate ring of the
mirror degeneration along with a canonical basis. The appearance of a canonical basis of sections for certain degenerations points
towards a good compactification of moduli of certain polarized varieties via stable pairs, generalizing the picture for K3 surfaces

Reliability design of adhesive bonding for key components in reflective optomechanical systems
Reflective optomechanical systems are widely used in fields such as space remote sensing due to their advantages of high resolution and no central obscuration. However, their performance is extremely sensitive to the alignment accuracy of key components (primary mirror, secondary mirror). To address the critical issues of precise positioning and high-reliability assembly of these components during the alignment process, this paper proposes a reliability-based adhesive bonding method based on threadless pre-stress. A threadless pre-stress assembly structure was designed, and through simulation experiments, it was verified that this method can achieve high-reliability adhesive assembly for optomechanical systems operating under conditions ranging from-20°C to 50°C.

Mirror, mirror
\"What if the Evil Queen poisoned the prince? Following her beloved mother's death, the kingdom falls into the hands of Snow White's stepmother, commonly referred to as \"the Evil Queen\" by those she rules. Snow keeps her head down at the castle, hoping to make the best of her situation. But when new information about her parents resurfaces and a plot to kill her goes haywire, everything changes for Snow. With the help of a group of wary dwarfs, a kind prince she thought she'd never see again, and a mysterious stranger from her past, Snow embarks on a quest to stop the Evil Queen and take back her kingdom. But can she stop an enemy who knows her every move and will stop at nothing to retain her power...including going after the ones Snow loves?

Axial confinement in the Novatron mirror machine
The Novatron magnetic mirror fusion reactor concept features significant advantages. These include stability against MHD interchange and kinetic drift cyclotron loss cone modes, axisymmetry, and minimized radial particle drifts and neoclassical losses. For achieving a ratio Q⩾30 of fusion power to heating power, axial particle confinement is uniquely designed to rely on the simultaneous use of three distinct forces; magnetic mirrors, electrostatic potentials, and ponderomotive forces in a tandem-like configuration. Axial confinement physics theory is here analyzed and compared to earlier mirror configurations. Scenarios for D-T, D-D, and catalyzed D-D fusion plasmas are outlined.
