Faceting transition in aluminum as a grain boundary phase transition
Grain boundaries facet due to anisotropic grain boundary energies: While the faceted boundary has a larger area than the corresponding straight boundary, a significantly lower energy of the facets compared to a straight segment can drive the faceting. This picture is complicated by faceting/defaceting transitions where the free energy difference between the two states depends on the temperature. Here, we use atomistic computer simulations to show how such a transition in a $Σ3$ $[11\overline{1…

In Jason Henderson's 2013 book Street Fight he writes of SF transportation politics as a function of 3 factions: conservatives, neoliberals, progressives. How the street fights go depends on how those factions align. If you slot in YIMBYish urbanist types—those who are pro-bike, pro-business, believe that Dean Preston was blocking housing—as the neoliberals, this holds up surprisingly well today.

Guidelines for Gaze-based Neural Preliminary Diagnosis
Neural disorders refer to any condition affecting the nervous system and that influence how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Traditional neural diagnoses rely on cumbersome, time-consuming, or subjective methods, such as clinical interviews, behavioural observations, or medical imaging. Eye tracking is an attractive alternative because analysing eye movements, such as fixations and saccades, can provide more objective insights into brain function and cognitive processing by cap…

Effect of the degree of an initial mutant in Moran processes in structured populations
We study the effect of the mutant's degree on the fixation probability, extinction and fixation times, in the Moran process on Erdös-Rényi and Barabási-Albert graphs. We performed stochastic simulations and use mean-field type approximations to obtain analytical formulas. We showed that the initial placement of a mutant has a significant impact on the fixation probability and extinction time, while it has no effect on the fixation time. In both types of graphs, an increase in the degree of a…
