Stability of surfactant-laden double-layered viscoelastic fluids flowing over an inclined plane
The linear dynamics and instability mechanisms of double-layered weakly viscoelastic fluid flowing over an inclined plane are analyzed in the presence of insoluble surfactant at both the free surface and interface. The constitutive equation of the non-Newtonian flow field follows the rheological property of Walters' $B^{''}$ model. The Orr-Sommerfeld-type boundary value problem is derived using the classical normal-mode approach and numerically solved within the framework of the Chebyshev spect…

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) immunizations chief
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis said Sunday that
he’s concerned with the direction the agency is going and worried about public health going forward.
Daskalakis, who served as director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases,
submitted his resignation from the CDC on Wednesday in protest following the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) removing CDC Director Susan Mona…

Former CDC immunizations chief: ‘I only see harm coming’ with RFK Jr. leading HHS
Daskalakis is concerned with HHS's direction and the effect on public health.

@… I’m truly exhausted by the feeling that I need to move away from every service, no matter how many [hundreds of?] thousands of dollars I’ve delivered to them, all the time.
Imagine your legacy being “killed it after even a Microsoft acquisition didn’t kill it”. :smh:

Well, that's the end of a very long era. Not that I could use it if I wanted to as my land line is long gone.

A curvilinear surface ALE formulation for self-evolving Navier-Stokes manifolds - Stabilized finite element formulation
This work presents a stabilized finite element formulation of the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) surface theory for Navier-Stokes flow on self-evolving manifolds developed in Sauer (2025). The formulation is physically frame-invariant, applicable to large deformations, and relevant to fluidic surfaces such as soap films, capillary menisci and lipid membranes, which are complex and inherently unstable physical systems. It is applied here to area-incompressible surface flows using a stabiliz…

Finding the temperature window for atomic layer deposition of ruthenium metal via efficient phonon calculations
We investigate the use of first principles thermodynamics based on periodic density functional theory (DFT) to examine the gas-surface chemistry of an oxidized ruthenium surface reacting with hydrogen gas. This reaction system features in the growth of ultrathin Ru films by atomic layer deposition (ALD). We reproduce and rationalize the experimental observation that ALD of the metal from RuO4 and H2 occurs only in a narrow temperature window above 100°C, and this validates the approach. Specif…

The generalized Chebotarev problem in higher genus
We consider the extension to higher genus Riemann surfaces of the classical Chebotarev problem, with a view towards the development of the theory of Padé\ approximants on algebraic curves. To this end we define an appropriate notion of capacity that mimics the standard one, following works of Chirka and of the author and collaborators. The nontrivial topology of the Riemann surface requires further specification of the ``homotopy class'' of the continua in the solution of the Chebotarev proble…

In melancholy, the spirits are carried away by an agitation, but a weak agitation that lacks power or violence, a sort of impotent upset that follows neither a particular path nor the aperta opercula [open ways], but traverses the cerebral matter constantly creating new pores. Yet the spirits do not wander far on the new paths they create, and their agitation dies down rapidly, as their strength is quickly spent and motion comes to a halt: ‘non longe perveniunt’ [they do not reach far]. A trouble of this nature, common to all delirium, does not have the power to produce on the surface of the body the violent movements or the cries to be observed in mania and frenzy. Melancholy never attains frenzy; it is a madness always at the limits of its own impotence. That paradox is explained by the secret alterations in the spirits. Ordinarily, they travel with the speed and instantaneous transparency of rays of light, but in melancholy they become weighed down with night, becoming ‘obscure, thick and dark’, and the images of things that they bring before consciousness are ‘in a shadow, or covered with darkness’. As a result they move more slowly, and are more like a dark, chemical vapour than pure light. This chemical vapour is acid in nature, rather than sulphurous or alcoholic, for in acid vapours the particles are mobile and incapable of repose, but their activity is weak and without consequence. When they are distilled, all that remains in the still is a kind of insipid phlegm. Acid vapours, therefore, are taken to have the same properties as melancholy, whereas alcoholic vapours, which are always ready to burst into flames, are more related to frenzy, and sulphurous vapours bring on mania, as they are agitated by continuous, violent movement. If the ‘formal reason and causes’ of melancholy were to be sought, it made sense to look for them in the vapours that rose up from the blood to the head, and which had degenerated into ‘an acetous or sharp distillation’. A cursory glance seems to indicate that a melancholy of spirits and a whole chemistry of humours lies behind Willis’ analyses, but in fact his guiding principle mostly reflects the immediate qualities of the melancholic illness: an impotent disorder, and the shadow that comes over the spirit with an acrid acidity that slowly corrodes the heart and the mind. The chemistry of acids is not an explanation of the symptoms, but a qualitative option: a whole phenomenology of melancholic experience.
