For those who forgot or never knew,
Mickey Flacks was among Santa Barbara’s most dogged advocates for affordable housing, among other struggles for social justice, environmental sanity, and other progressive causes.
The Independent launched the Mickey Flacks Journalism Fund back in 2020 to honor her memory and keep Mickey’s work alive.
The $100,000 we’ve raised since have empowered numerous editorial projects, and the Mickey Flacks Fellowship marks the epitome of those ef…

Why Donate to the Mickey Flacks Journalism Fund?
Support reporters like Christina McDermott, who’s starting her second year of the Mickey Flacks Fellowship.

2020 hamnade mitt betänkande SOU 2020:56 i ryska medier, återgivet av en nyhetsbyrå med kopplingar till underrättelsetjänsten. Ett märkligt kvitto på att analysen träffade en nerv. Det påminner mig om att ord kan få liv i sammanhang man inte själv råder över.

I find it kinda funny that the 2020 MacBook Air—my work machine (albeit with 16 GB of RAM)—is now described as being “still capable at handling basic tasks like a champ, including streaming video, browsing, and dealing with documents.”
I haven’t noticed #Emacs slowing down, so what do people do that needs so much more computing power!?

The parabolic Dirichlet problem with continuous and Hölder boundary data, and rough coefficients
We provide very mild sufficient conditions for space-time domains (non-necessarily cylindrical) which ensure that the continuous Dirichlet problem and the Hölder Dirichlet problem are well-posed, for any parabolic operator in divergence form with merely bounded coefficients. Concretely, we show that the parabolic measure exists, even for unbounded domains, hence solving an open problem posed by Genschaw and Hofmann (2020). This problem has inherent difficulties because of its parabolic natur…

Prediction of sulphate hazes in the lower Venus atmosphere
We study the amount, size distribution and material composition of (sub-)mic aerosol particles in the lower Venus atmosphere < 50 km. Our GGchem phase-equilibrium model predicts metal-chloride and metal-fluoride molecules to be present in the gas over the Venus surface in trace concentrations < 2.E-12, in particular FeCl2, NaCl, KCl and SiF4. Using an improved version of the DiffuDrift model developed by Woitke et al.2020, we find that these molecules deposit to form solid potassium sulphate K2…

fly_hemibrain: Fly hemibrain (2020)
A synaptic map of the hemibrain connectome of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using EM reconstruction techniques. Neurons are labeled by their type. Edges are annotated by the connection strength between the neurons.
This network has 21739 nodes and 4259624 edges.

Unintended Consequences of Early Driving Access: Evidence from Graduated Driver Licensing Policies and Adolescent Health Outcomes

Unintended Consequences of Early Driving Access: Evidence from Graduated Driver Licensing Policies and Adolescent Health Outcomes
Graduated driver licensing systems effectively reduce adolescent traffic fatalities but create unintended health consequences. Using state-level variation in licensing policies from 1999-2020 and difference-in-differences analysis, we provide the first causal evidence that early driving access generates significant health risks for female adolescents aged 15-19. States allowing learner's permits before age 16 experienced sharp increases in drug-related mortality (+1.331 per 100,000, p<0.001) an…

All Models Are Wrong, But Can They Be Useful? Lessons from COVID-19 Agent-Based Models: A Systematic Review
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a surge in computational models to simulate disease dynamics and guide interventions. Agent-based models (ABMs) are well-suited to capture population and environmental heterogeneity, but their rapid deployment raised questions about utility for health policy. We systematically reviewed 536 COVID-19 ABM studies published from January 2020 to December 2023, retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed, and Wiley on January 30, 2024. Studies were included if they used ABMs …

The impact of Alfvenic shear flow on magnetic reconnection and turbulence
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and omnipresent energy conversion process in plasma physics. Novel observations of fields and particles from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have shown the absence of reconnection in a large number of current sheets in the near-Sun solar wind. Using near-Sun observations from PSP Encounters 4 to 11 (Jan 2020 to March 2022), we investigate whether reconnection onset might be suppressed by velocity shear. We compare estimates of the tearing mode growth rate in the …
