The Supreme Court’s Savage Indictment of the Republican Party
If you read the high court’s disqualification ruling closely, you’ll see that the justices unanimously agree that the GOP is a lawless institution.

Land irrigation as an obstacle to agricultural intensification in Mato Grosso
The agro-industrial farms of Mato Grosso are among the most efficient on the planet; they benefit from abundant rainfall and a long rainy season, which allows them to plant and harvest two crops per year. They do not operate without risk, however. Both crop cycles fail during periodic droughts (1985, 1991, 1993, 2009, 2016), and […]

physics_collab: Multilayer physicist collaborations (2015)
Two multiplex networks of coauthorships among the Pierre Auger Collaboration of physicists (2010-2012) and among researchers who have posted preprints on arXiv.org (all papers up to May 2014). Layers represent different categories of publication, and an edge's weight indicates the number of reports written by the authors. These layers are one-mode projections from the underlying author-paper bipartite network.

here is a little hack i came up with while playing with glow-in-the-dark sticky tape: you can put it on blue indicator LEDs to diffuse and dampen them and change their color.
two layers of the green tape i have change the 'harsh' monochromatic blue into a soft azure, and as a questionable bonus it keeps glowing green for a while when unpowered.
it put it right on the LED, below the light guide, which won't always be possible and may possibly have heat concerns?

Huh. Filaments.ca is no more. I didn’t have the place where I buy my kn95 masks to acquire my preferred filament supplier.

I do wonder what will happen to their speciality filaments or if it’ll just become another filament reseller.

Novel first-order phase transition and critical points in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory with spatial compactification
We investigate the thermodynamics and phase structure of $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb{T}^2\times\mathbb{R}^2$ in Euclidean spacetime in an effective-model approach. The model incorporates two Polyakov loops along two compactified directions as dynamical variables, and is constructed to reproduce thermodynamics on $\mathbb{T}^2\times\mathbb{R}^2$ measured on the lattice. The model analysis indicates the existence of a novel first-order phase transition on $\mathbb{T}^2\times\mathbb{R}^2…

Efficiency of Non-Thermal Pulsed Emission from Eight MeV Pulsars
We report on the properties of pulsed X-ray emission from eight MeV pulsars using XMM-Newton, NICER, NuSTAR and HXMT data. For the five among eight MeV pulsars, the X-ray spectra can be fitted by a broken-power law model with a break energy of $\sim5-10$ keV. The photon index below and above break energy are $\sim 1$ and $\sim 1.5$, respectively. In comparison with the X-ray emission of the $Fermi$-LAT pulsars, the MeV pulsars have a harder spectrum and ahigher radiation efficiency in 0.3-10 ke…
