Sanierung von mehr als 40 Bahnstrecken verzögert sich um fünf Jahre
Eigentlich wollten Bund und Bahn bis 2031 mehr als 40 stark genutzte Strecken sanieren. Jetzt wird es deutlich länger dauern. Die letzte Strecke, Flensburg-Hamburg, soll nun erst 2036 modernisiert werden.

Stress-induced Martensitic transformation in epitaxial Ni-Mn-Ga thin films and its correlation to optical and magneto-optical properties
The optical and magneto-optical properties of thin epitaxial Ni-Mn-Ga films, with thicknesses ranging from 8 to 160 nm, were investigated across the spectral range of 0.7-6.4 eV. The films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on MgO substrate with stress-mediating Cr buffer layer. Structural and magnetic characterization revealed an stress-induced martensitic transformation for the films thicker than 80 nm, while thinner films remained in austenite structure deformed by substrate constrain…

Pivotal moments in US history shaped by confrontational street protest include:
– Unionization of the auto industry 1936
– Passing the Fair Housing Act 1968
– Ending the US invasion of Cambodia 1970

So Trump was informed when the bombs were already falling and quickly called Qatar 😂😆
"Qatar’s Foreign Ministry denies the White House claims that the US informed Qatar about the Israeli strikes before they took place.
“The call that was received from an American official came during the sound of the explosions that resulted from the Israeli attack in Doha.”"

I can't tell you how weird it is as a manager to go through burnout blossoming and then sinking in to become a morass of emotional exhaustion and feelings of utter uselessness — while, in parallel, hearing feedback from my reports about how I've helped them struggle through and in most cases escape their own burgeoning burnout over the past few months
Just out here using my own body as a stick to pull my reports out of the quicksand of burnout

Self-similar rupture of thin films of power-law fluid
Models that describe Newtonian liquid films evolving due to the competing effects of surface tension and attractive intermolecular or van der Waals forces are known to rupture in finite time in a self-similar manner. We extend the computation of similarity solutions to non-Newtonian power-law liquid films. The bifurcation diagram, indexed by power law exponent $n$, has a highly nontrivial structure with branches merging via a snaking bifurcation around $n=1$. A countably infinite number of solu…

Morphology of Polarization States in Strained Ferroelectric Films
Ferroelectric thin films under epitaxial strain exhibit a variety of vortex-like topological polarization textures. To analyze them, we build on the Ginzburg-Landau-Devonshire framework and extend the previously introduced soft-domain approach. This formulation provides a compact variational theoretical description of polarization morphologies in strained PbTiO$_3$ films. It yields phase diagrams as a function of temperature, strain, and thickness, and clarifies the morphological structure of e…
