Global anomalies in $6D$ gauged supergravities
There exists a rare class of R-symmetry gauged $N=(1,0)$ supergravities in six dimensions with gauge group $G\times U(1)_R$, where $G$ is semisimple with rank greater than one, and the number of tensor multiplets $n_T=1$, which are free from all local anomalies. We find new members of this family, in which $G$ contains up to four factors. We study the global anomalies of these models in a framework in which the Dirac quantization of the anomaly coefficients and the well-definedness of the Green…

Magnetoresistance in the Extreme Quantum Limit: Field-Induced Crossover to the Unitarity Limit
We theoretically investigate magnetoresistance (MR) in the extreme quantum limit (EQL), where the kinetic energy becomes significantly smaller than the cyclotron energy, using the Kubo formula with Green's functions and the $T$-matrix approximation. We uncover a magnetic-field-induced crossover in the scattering rate: $1/τ\propto B^2$ in the Born regime and $1/τ\propto B^{-2}$ in the unitarity limit. This crossover gives rise to distinct MR behaviors in the EQL, characterized by linear transv…

I dropped off one one my illustrations at the Free Little Art Gallery near my house (yes, there's another one besides mine!) and there was already a matching keychain so that's pretty cool...

Towards reliable use of artificial intelligence to classify otitis media using otoscopic images: Addressing bias and improving data quality
Ear disease contributes significantly to global hearing loss, with recurrent otitis media being a primary preventable cause in children, impacting development. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers promise for early diagnosis via otoscopic image analysis, but dataset biases and inconsistencies limit model generalizability and reliability. This retrospective study systematically evaluated three public otoscopic image datasets (Chile; Ohio, USA; Türkiye) using quantitative and qualitative methods.…

AVON: Take a look. [Motions to Dr. Kendall is seen unconscious in a chair] He's the fourth one I've found, all of them unconscious. It's... Sonovapour.
BLAKE: Yes I know. We found a couple. It must be coming from the filters.

YSGAG: The Ideal Substrate for YIG in Quantum Magnonics
Quantum magnonics leverages the quantum mechanical properties of magnons for advancing nanoscale quantum information technologies. Ferrimagnetic yttrium iron garnet (YIG), known for its exceptionally long magnon lifetimes, is a cornerstone material for magnonics and is typically grown into thin films on gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrates due to near-perfect lattice matching. However, the paramagnetic nature of GGG introduces damping mechanisms detrimental to quantum applications at low …

A Berny green, flieger - type b style watch, with a green dial.
Yes, it looks similar to a certain Seiko with this dial color and the four o'clock crown but, that watch too steals 90 % of it's design from classic fliegers, so I'm ok with it. 😆
Plus it has a couple of things extra I wanted. Titanium case, sapphire crystal, no logo or extraneous text on the face (like classic fliegers) and it features a "mecha-quartz" (quartz accuracy but the second hand is m…

Have renewables decreased electricity prices?
Empirical evidence in the US over the past 24 years points to yes

Novel diamagnetic garnet-type substrate single crystals for ultralow-damping yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 films at cryogenic temperatures
Y3Sc2Ga3O12-Y3Sc2Al3O12 and Y3Sc2Ga3O12-Y3Al5O12 (YSGAG) solid solution single crystals with diameters up to 30 mm and total lengths up to about 100 mm were grown by the conventional Czochralski technique. Rocking curve measurements on polished sections revealed typical FWHM values of about 22 arcsec, which is indicative of relatively high structural quality for a solid-solution crystal. The grown substrate crystals are nearly lattice-matched with Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) to allow epitaxial growth of hig…
