The DoJ civil rights division has seen dramatic changes since Trump came back into office last year and installed Harmeet Dhillon, a former Republican Party operative in California, to lead it.
Dhillon has fired employees in droves,
pushed out others through separation incentives tied to pressure campaigns,
reassigned staff
and rewritten the mission statements for each section in the division.
She has vastly reshaped the types of cases the office pursues

Heat waves: Expert tips on redesigning UK homes to cope with hotter temperatures
As the UK prepares for the third heat wave of 2026, most people will be hoping to keep cool at home. Building regulations to protect homes from overheating were introduced in 2022. These require all new homes to be checked at the design stage to see if they might be at risk of overheating. If the overheating risk is high, the architect has to make changes to the design.

Statistical periodicity in noise-induced order from Ruelle-Pollicott resonances

Abstract: Noise-induced order (NIO) is a paradigmatic example of nontrivial noise-induced phenomena, characterized by pronounced spectral peaks and pseudoperiodic dynamics. We show that this periodicity is governed by the Ruelle-Pollicott resonances of the annealed transfer operator, independently of dynamical stability. Exact results for an analytically solvable model and numerical results for a modified Lasota--Mackey map show excellent agreement between resonance-based predictions and empirical power spectra across a broad range of noise amplitudes. Independent transitions in stability, diagnosed by the Lyapunov exponent, and statistical periodicity, diagnosed by the Ruelle-Pollicott resonances, give rise to three distinct types of NIO.
