Seen a few of those band T-shirts around where they have the surnames of the band members on them and nothing else. They’ve had me trying to think of some supremely nerdy alternatives to get printed.
I’ve come up with two so far:
Różycki
Zygalski
Rejewski
&
Penney
Cockroft
Hinton
Care to suggest any more?

Calamus 37 A leaf for hand in hand!
I continue to have little patience for these Whitman entreaties to American unity. The recitation of place names does little for me. But I do appreciate that he's talking more about loving unity between men than some abstract political message.
You friendly boatmen and mechanics! You roughs! ...
I wish to infuse myself among you till I see it common for you to walk hand in hand.
That's the gay part there. It's pretty mild, but still seems striking of talking about two boatmen or mechanics walking holding hands. One might even see an appeal to rough trade.
I am beginning to understand this Whitman concept of "adhesiveness", a brotherly love that could unify a nation. I still prefer a more sexual gay reading but I think his poems work in both ways.

A mixture distribution approach for assessing genetic impact from twin study
This work was motivated by a twin study with the goal of assessing the genetic control of immune traits. We propose a mixture bivariate distribution to model twin data where the underlying order within a pair is unclear. Though estimation from mixture distribution is usually subject to low convergence rate, the combined likelihood, which is constructed over monozygotic and dizygotic twins combined, reaches root-n consistency and allows effective statistical inference on the genetic impact.
