Scaling solutions for current-carrying cosmic string networks. II. Biased solutions
The charge-velocity-dependent one-scale model is an extension of the canonical velocity-dependent one-scale model which explicitly incorporates additional degrees of freedom on the string worldsheet, such as arbitrary currents and charges, expected in physically realistic models. A previous paper [Pimenta and Martins, Phys. Rev.

The second order Huang-Yang approximation to the Fermi thermodynamic pressure
We consider a dilute Fermi gas in the thermodynamic limit with interaction potential scattering length $\mathfrak{a}_0$ at temperature $T>0$. We prove the 2nd order Huang-Yang approximation for the Fermi pressure of the system, in which there is a 2nd order term carrying the positive temperature efffect.Our formula is valid up to the temperature $T<ρ^{\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}$, which is, by scaling, also necessary for the Huang-Yang formula to hold.

Supercurrent-induced antiferromagnetic order and spin-triplet pair generation in quantum critical d-wave superconductors
A supercurrent is well recognized as being of prime importance within mean-field theory, but remains largely unexplored in strongly correlated electron systems (SCES) and the quantum critical region.

We show a supercurrent-induced antife…

I have my share of issues with Parkrose Permaculture, but she has a lot of things I do strongly agree with. I can't stress enough that you never dehumanize your enemies. You can respond appropriately to violence. You can defend yourself from them by any means necessary. But you do not dehumanize them. You always limit your response to the minimum necessary to defend yourself.
There are a number of former Nazi skins who became antifascists after realizing they were wrong. Those folks tend to be some of the most dedicated because they feel a debt, and some of the most knowledgeable because they were there. Coming out of these types of cults, police included, is hard and takes time. A lot of us don't have the ability to work with them. But some do.
By repeatedly humanizing your opponent, you can break some of them. The #Seattle Police Department was not defunded but saw a massive reduction in numbers because their morale was destroyed. Some people will never change. Some people are broken and feel like they need the power. But if you change one person's mind, even give them something to think about, it's a crack. If even one cop quits, that's one less trained gun pointed at you in the future.
The 18 year old marines and federalized national guard troops out there are literally kids. A lot of them came from poor communities. They are being used in a way they haven't been trained to do, doing things they (should) have been told are not legal. They joined to get out of poverty, to go to college, or to "defend the American people" (regardless of how misguided that is). Few, if any, of them joined to abuse people. They will be especially open to persuasion.
Remind those troops that they are carrying out illegal orders, that they are being called on to violate their oath to protect the constitution, that they are suppressing the free speech of the fellow Americans they swore to defend. Remind them that the people they could be illegally arresting now are just like their parents, their neighbors, their families, the friends who didn't join. Remind them that this is the first step. They will be called on to kill Americans if they let this keep going.
Remind them ICE sleeps in hotels while they sleep on the ground. Remind them that their drunk and incompetent leadership thinks of them as disposable tools. Remind them that some of these people are out protesting *for them* against cuts to the VA and other services. Remind them that the people they're defending refuse to make college free so they can recruit from poor schools. Remind them that they will always be welcome when they're ready to join the side of freedom and justice.
When you dehumanize your enemies, you unify them. When you humanize your enemies, you can divide them. There is no weapon available to us right now so powerful as compassion.

Generation of high-power attosecond x-ray FEL pulses carrying orbital angular momentum
X-ray beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM), are emerging as a powerful tool to probe matter. Recently, a method called self-seeded FEL with OAM (SSOAM) has been proposed to generate high-power x-ray OAM pulses, which places the traditional optical elements in the linear regime of the FEL amplification process before saturation to reduce the thermal load of the optical element. In this work, we propose to utilize the SSOAM scheme to produce attosecond x-ray vortices with high intensity.…

On measure-valued solutions for a structured population model with transfers
We consider a transfer operator where two interacting cells carrying non-negative traits transfer a random fraction of their trait to each other.

We extend the definition of the transfer operator to non-negative measures with a finite second moment, and we discuss the regularity of the fixed distributions of that transfer operator. Finally, we consider a dynamic transfer model where an initial population distribution…

A Chern metal is a two-dimensional metallic state of matter carrying chiral edge states. It can emerge as a doped Chern insulator, but theoretical studies have also predicted its emergence near a Kondo breakdown separating a metallic chiral spin liquid and a heavy Fermi liquid in a frustrated lattice. To date, the latter exotic scenario has not been realized. Here, we report the observation of a Chern metal at the onset of the magnetic Kondo breakdown in a frustrated moiré Kondo lattice--angle…

Rapid topographic scatter of near-inertial waves generated by storms
Internal waves propagate on the ocean's stratification, carrying energy and redistributing momentum through the ocean. When internal waves break, they contribute to diapycnal mixing in the ocean interior, but this breaking behaviour depends upon the scale of the waves. Low-mode internal waves have larger horizontal and vertical scales, and thus break less readily than higher-mode waves. The scattering of internal waves by topography is an important mechanism in transferring internal wave energy…

Israel’s Foreign Ministry published a photo on social media of Thunberg after disembarking.
The 12 activists were expected to be held at a detention facility in Ramle before being deported, according to Adalah, a legal rights group representing them

Israeli forces detain Greta Thunberg after halting Freedom Flotilla aid boat
Israeli forces have seized a Gaza-bound aid boat and detained Greta Thunberg and other activists on board, enforcing a longstanding blockade of the Palestinian territory that has been tightened during the war with Hamas. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which had organized the voyage to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and protest Israel’s blockade and wartime conduct, said the activists had been “kidnapped by Israeli forces.” Israel said the passengers would return to their home…

Shift of nanodroplet and nanocluster size distributions induced by dopant pick-up statistics
In pick-up experiments using nanodroplet and nanocluster beams, the size distribution of hosts carrying a specified number of dopants changes when the vapor density in the pick-up region is altered. This change, analyzed here, has quantitative consequences for the interpretation of data that are sensitive to host size, such as mass spectrometric, spectroscopic, and deflection measurements.

Global Gauge Symmetries and Spatial Asymptotic Boundary Conditions in Yang-Mills theory
In Yang-Mills gauge theory on a Euclidean Cauchy surface the group of physical gauge symmetries carrying direct empirical significance is often believed to be $\mathcal{G}_\text{DES}=\mathcal{G}^I/\mathcal{G}^\infty_0$, where $\mathcal{G}^I$ is the group of boundary-preserving gauge symmetries and $\mathcal{G}^\infty_0$ is its subgroup of transformations that are generated by the constraints of the theory. These groups are identified respectively as the gauge transformations that become constan…

Testing Variational Perturbation Theory for Effective Actions Using the Gaudin-Yang Model
The background field formalism based on effective actions is a compelling framework for developing an effective field theory for nuclear density functional theory. Among the challenges in carrying out this development is handling both the particle-hole and pairing channels beyond the mean-field level, which includes how to incorporate collective degrees of freedom. Here we use the exactly solvable one-dimensional Gaudin-Yang model as a theoretical laboratory to explore candidate approaches. We …

Identifying vortex lattice in type-II superconductors via the dynamic magnetostrictive effect
In type-I superconductors, zero electrical resistivity and perfect diamagnetism define two fundamental criteria for superconducting behavior. In contrast, type-II superconductors exhibit more complex mixed-state physics, where magnetic flux penetrates the material above the lower critical field Hc1 in the form of quantized vortices, each carrying a single flux quantum. These vortices form a two-dimensional lattice which persists up to another irreversible field (Hirr) and then melts into a diss…

Reconfigurable Ultrafast Thermal Metamaterial Pixel Arrays by Dual-Gate Graphene Transistors
Thermal signatures represent ubiquitous infrared appearances of objects, carrying their unique spectral fingerprints. Despite extensive efforts to decipher and manipulate thermal-infrared signals, the ability to fully control them across spatial, temporal and spectral domains remains a significant challenge due to the slow speed, diffuse and broadband emitting nature of thermal emission in most materials. Here, we demonstrate a reconfigurable ultrafast thermal metamaterial pixel array that inte…

Marines are highly trained in combat and crisis response, with time in conflict zones like Syria and Afghanistan.
But that is starkly different from the role they will face now:
They could potentially be hit by L A hipsters carrying gas canisters and have to quickly decide how to respond
or face decisions about protecting an immigration enforcement agent from crowds.

Pentagon draws up rules for Marines deployed to LA protests
The Pentagon is scrambling to establish rules to guide U.S. Marines who could be faced with the rare and difficult prospect of using force against citizens on American soil, now that the Trump administration is deploying active duty troops to the immigration raid protests in Los Angeles. U.S. Northern Command said Monday that it's sending 700 Marines into the Los Angeles area to protect federal property and personnel. A U.S. official says troops will be armed with their normal service weapons b…

Self-consistent theory of $2\times2$ pair density waves in kagome superconductors
Pair density wave (PDW) is an intriguing quantum matter proposed in the frontier of condensed matter physics. However, the existence of PDW in microscopic models has been rare. In this work, we obtain, by Ginzburg-Landau arguments and self-consistent mean field theory, novel $2a_0\times2a_0$ PDW on the kagome lattice arising from attractive on-bond pairing interactions and the distinct Bloch wave functions near the p-type van Hove singularity. The PDW state carrying three independent wave-vecto…
