In California, an invasive mustard is destabilizing desert plant communities
In southern California’s Coachella Valley, pale sand dunes sprawl under the desert sun, shifting and re-forming in the wind. In dry years, lone shrubs dot the dunes. But the landscape bursts with color and greenery after a wet winter. That’s because seeds of desert plants may wait in the soil for years, even decades, for […]

QUAND LES CAISSES POP ÉTAIENT FUNKY
Des années 1950 aux années 1970, le Mouvement Desjardins a joué un rôle important dans l’avènement de l’architecture moderne au Québec. Il reste encore des traces de cette folie visionnaire. Mais ce patrimoine demeure fragile.

Strong relations between discrete surfaces, poset-based connected manifolds, and normal pseudomanifolds
In this paper, we study some relationships existing between some particular mathematical structures: discrete surfaces coming from discrete topology and mathematical morphology, poset-based connected manifolds coming from discrete topology, and normal pseudomanifolds which are much used in discrete geometry and topological data analysis. We will also show that, even when poset-based connected manifolds are assumed to be simplicial complexes, and then supplied with many additional topological pr…

Local structural disorder in crystalline materials
Local positional disorder in soft, anharmonic materials has emerged as a central factor in shaping their electronic, vibrational, optical, and transport properties. Viewed mainly as a source of performance degradation, recent theoretical insights reveal that local disorder profoundly influences the electronic structure and phonon dynamics, without inducing deep electronic traps or non-radiative recombination pathways. In this work, we highlight advances in modeling local disorder using polymorp…

Optimal Adjustment and Combination of Independent Discrete $p$-Values
Combining p-values from multiple independent tests is a fundamental task in statistical inference, but presents unique challenges when the p-values are discrete. We extend a recent optimal transport-based framework for combining discrete p-values, which constructs a continuous surrogate distribution by minimizing the Wasserstein distance between the transformed discrete null and its continuous analogue. We provide a unified approach for several classical combination methods, including Fisher's,…
