I'm trying to convert my mom to @… browser, but it keeps failing. Latest episode:

*Somehow* my mom switched the default search engine to Wikipedia.

So...I'm 6 episodes into #AlienEarth and I have no one to root for, they are all Grade A assholes. Difficult to connect then, and it might be me but it seems a pattern for recent #SciFi had the same feeling with

Effects of strain on the stability of the metallic rutile and insulating M1 phases of vanadium dioxide
We present a systematic density-functional theory study of the effects of strain on the structural and electronic properties in vanadium dioxide (VO$_2$), with particular emphasis on its effect on the relative stability of the metallic rutile and the insulating monoclinic M1 phases. We consider various strain conditions that can be related to epitaxial strain present in VO$_2$ films grown on different lattice planes. Our calculations confirm the dominant role of $c$ axis strain, i.e., along the…

So I grew up next to #Chernobyl and this is, well, TERRIFYING.
A story for y’all: I’m from a city called Zhytomyr, 2 hours west of Kyiv in the North of #Ukraine. We were downwind of the Chernobyl #nuclear power plant when the 1986 disaster happened.
I wasn’t born for another 12 years, but my childhood was filled with stories and the aftermath of it all. Things like:
- My grandmother worked as a head doctor in a hospital and rehabilitation facility exclusively for children of Chernobyl victims to treat the extremely high prevalence of Tuberculosis and other severe health complications. (To specify: these were SECOND GENERATION of exposure).
- A lot of the kids in that facility were orphans, because their parents died young from health problems.
- My uncle’s wife was born in Pripyat. She was 1 year old when the disaster happened. Her parents were told to evacuate while given no information about what happened. They had to pack up their things and rush out to an unfamiliar city with their baby, never to see the rest of their belongings, apartment, or hometown again.
- When I was a kid, it became so common to see weirdly mutated animals and insects that even 2-3 year olds would make jokes about “Chernobyl mosquitos” and I wouldn’t even flinch seeing occasional giant bugs, dark frogs, weird-looking dogs.
- We’d frequently hear of nearby farms having issues with their animals being born too mutated to survive or random outbreaks from contaminated water / food. Crops would randomly fail. People would get poisoned on a regular basis. This all got less common as I grew up.
- My mother still remembers being a little girl, 10 years old, and looking outside from their balcony at the clouds blowing over from Chernobyl that day. People were told to not go outside and to shut all the windows, but not given an explanation as to why. My mother swears that the rain looked different. They weren’t able to go and buy more food for the kitchen for multiple days.
Anyway - nuclear safety isn’t a joke. I don’t understand how this level of carelessness can happen after Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Optimal Pair Matching Combined with Machine Learning Predicts a Significant Reduction in Myocardial Infarction Risk in African Americans following Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation
Conflicting clinical trial results on omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 HUFA) have prompted uncertainty about their cardioprotective effects. While the VITAL trial found no overall cardiovascular benefit from n-3 HUFA supplementation, its substantial African American (AfAm) enrollment provided a unique opportunity to explore racial differences in response to n-3 HUFA supplementation. The current observational study aimed to simulate randomized clinical trial (RCT) conditions by matchi…

Finite element analysis of a nonlinear heat Equation with damping and pumping effects
We study the following nonlinear heat equation with damping and pumping effects (a reaction-diffusion equation) posed on a bounded simply connected convex domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d \geq 1$ with Lipschitz boundary $\partialΩ$: $$ \frac{\partial u(t)}{\partial t} - νΔu(t) + α|u(t)|^{p-2}u(t) - \sum_{\ell=1}^M β_{\ell} |u(t)|^{q_{\ell}-2}u(t) = f(t), \quad t>0, $$ subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and the initial condition $u(0)=u_0$, where $2 …

Want a used car that works?
You’d be wise to not get an older Tesla.
In Consumer Reports’ latest ranking for used cars,
the Elon Musk-run automaker came dead last in terms of reliability,
trailing by over forty points from the top spot on a scale between 0 and 100

Old Teslas Are Falling Apart
On Consumer Reports' latest ranking of used car reliability, Tesla came in dead last with a rating not even half of the top placed brand.
