Ah, current plans for today: find some way to get Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 running on my computer. So far I've managed to select my starting airport/airfield and then the game hangs. It's progress, but I have a feeling this fight is going to go on for awhile considering the game hangs immediately afterwards.

Fe contribution to the magnetic anisotropy of $L{1_0}$-ordered FePt thin films studied by angle-dependent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism
Among magnetic thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), $L1_0$-ordered FePt has attracted significant attention because of its exceptionally strong PMA. However, the microscopic origin of its strong PMA has not been elucidated experimentally. We have investigated the contribution of the Fe $3d$ electrons to its magnetic anisotropy energy by angle-dependent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the Fe $L_{2,3}$ edge. By this technique, one can deduce the magnetic dipole moment $m_…

Validation of the MySurgeryRisk Algorithm for Predicting Complications and Death after Major Surgery: A Retrospective Multicenter Study Using OneFlorida Data Trust
Despite advances in surgical techniques and care, postoperative complications are prevalent and effects up to 15% of the patients who underwent a major surgery. The objective of this study is to develop and validate models for predicting postoperative complications and death after major surgery on a large and multicenter dataset, following the previously validated MySurgeryRisk algorithm. This retrospective, longitudinal and multicenter cohort analysis included 508,097 encounters from 366,875 a…

The overall goal at "A New Social"
is to shift the power of social networks back to the people,
not the platform makers,
by giving them tools that let them
move their account and their followings,
and leave if a platform ever fails them in some way.

Affaire de Bétharram : en 1998, les ratés de la justice face aux agresseurs présumés
Le dossier judiciaire de l’époque mettant en cause le père Silviet-Carricart, auquel « Le Monde » a eu accès, relève deux défaillances majeures dans la procédure. La première concerne cet ancien directeur de l’établissement scolaire privé, la seconde l’ex-surveillant Damien S., aujourd’hui mis en cause dans une centaine de plaintes.

Simulating acoustically-actuated flows in complex microchannels using the volume penalization technique
We present a volume penalization technique for simulating acoustically-actuated flows in geometrically complex microchannels. Using a perturbation approach, the nonlinear response of an acoustically-actuated compressible Newtonian fluid moving over obstacles or flowing in a geometrically complex domain is segregated into two sub-problems: a harmonic first-order problem and a time-averaged second-order problem, where the latter utilizes forcing terms and boundary conditions arising from the firs…
