Energy dissipation in earthquakes
Earthquakes are rupture-like processes that propagate along tectonic faults and cause seismic waves. The propagation speed and final area of the rupture, which determine an earthquake's potential impact, are directly related to the nature and quantity of the energy dissipation involved in the rupture process. Here we present the challenges associated with defining and measuring the energy dissipation in laboratory and natural earthquakes across many scales. We discuss the importance and implica…

'It will not come today': Judge Kaplan smacks down Trump
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, presiding over E. Jean Carroll‘s successful $83.3 million lawsuit against Donald Trump, issued a cautionary rebuke on Monday to the ex-president who was demanding an immediate ruling on his request to delay payment to the journalist whose lawsuit made him a legally ...

Towards Safe Robot Use with Edged or Pointed Objects: A Surrogate Study Assembling a Human Hand Injury Protection Database
The use of pointed or edged tools or objects is one of the most challenging aspects of today's application of physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). One reason for this is that the severity of harm caused by such edged or pointed impactors is less well studied than for blunt impactors. Consequently, the standards specify well-reasoned force and pressure thresholds for blunt impactors and advise avoiding any edges and corners in contacts. Nevertheless, pointed or edged impactor geometries cann…

Convex surfaces with prescribed induced metrics in anti-de Sitter spacetimes
Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus at least $2$, let $h$ be a smooth metric of curvature $K<-1$ on $S$, and let $h_0$ be a hyperbolic metric on $S$. We show that there exists a unique quasifuchsian AdS spacetime with left metric isotopic to $h_0$, containing a past-convex Cauchy surface with induced metric isotopic to $h$.
