It's truth in advertising when the braided UHMWPE product page shows it unraveling! 🤣
I've learned that plasma lighters are great tools for cutting light gauge synthetic cord. They are basically small hot plasma knives that cut slowly. Works for UHMWPE, nylon, polyester, and more. Also PET cable sheath, which is otherwise highly motivated to spontaneously disassemble itself.

Unraveling the structure of the stratified ultra-fast outflows in PDS 456 with XRISM
Multiple clumpy wind components ($v_{out}\sim0.2-0.3c$) in the luminous quasar PDS 456 have recently been resolved by XRISM in the Fe-K band for the first time. In this paper, we investigate the structure of ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) using coordinated observations from XRISM, XMM-Newton, and NuSTAR, along with the self-consistently calculated photoionization model \texttt{PION}. Our results reveal a stratified ionization structure likely driven by the radiation field, characterized by a relati…

Discrimination cases unravel as Trump scraps core civil rights tenet
For decades, the federal government has used data analysis to ferret out race and sex discrimination
-- winning court cases and reaching settlements in housing, education, policing and across American life.
Now the Trump administration is working to unwind those same cases.
The administration is unwinding settlements built on “disparate impact,” -- which holds that even neutral policies can lead to …

Discrimination cases unravel as Trump scraps core civil rights tenet
The administration is dismissing cases and unwinding settlements built on « disparate impact, » which holds that even neutral policies can lead to biased outcomes.

Boolean-network simplification and rule fitting to unravel chemotherapy resistance in non-small cell lung cancer
Boolean networks are powerful frameworks for capturing the logic of gene-regulatory circuits, yet their combinatorial explosion hampers exhaustive analyses. Here, we present a systematic reduction of a 31-node Boolean model that describes cisplatin- and pemetrexed-resistance in non-small-cell lung cancer to a compact 9-node core that exactly reproduces the original attractor landscape. The streamlined network shrinks the state space by four orders of magnitude, enabling rapid exploration of cri…
