Strain-tuning of nematicity and superconductivity in single crystals of FeSe by Ghini, M, Bristow, M, Prentice, JCA, Sutherland, S, Sanna, S, Haghighirad, AA, Coldea, AI

“…Our results indicate that the superconducting state is enhanced under compressive strain and suppressed under tensile strain, in agreement with the trends observed in FeSe thin films and overdoped pnictides, whereas the nematic phase seems to be affected in the opposite way by the uniaxial strain. …”

Between City and Self: Reading Beirut in Mohamed Soueid’s Tango of Yearning by Anouti, Ghida

“…Directed by underground Lebanese filmmaker Mohamed Soueid (b. 1959) and shot purely on video, the film is saturated with cinematic references, images of urban sites, sensual and religious symbols, and sociopolitical intimations. Soueid sees Tango of Yearning – the first in a trilogy titled Civil War – as an ‘obituary’ of his life prior to making this film. …”

Social Bridges in Urban Purchase Behavior by Dong, Xiaowen, Suhara, Yoshihiko, Bozkaya, Burçin, Singh, Vivek K., Lepri, Bruno, Pentland, Alex

“…Our findings also suggest that such an effect varies across different merchant categories, that the presence of female customers in social bridges is a stronger indicator compared to that of their male counterparts, and that there seems to be a geographical constraint for this effect, all of which may have implications in the studies of urban economy and data-driven urban planning.…”

A structural interpretation of the aftershock "cloud" of the 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers earthquake by Liu, Jing, Sieh, Kerry, Hauksson, Egill

“…Less than half of the aftershocks occurred within 1 km of the mainshock planes, and perhaps only 5% of the aftershocks are candidates for rerupture of the mainshock faults. Moreover, it seems that aftershocks along the Landers rupture have b-values that correlate well with the complexity of the mainshock rupture. …”

Distributed execution of workflow by Khademi Hedayat, Maryam

“…The main reasons which led us to this selection are: (i) there is few existing work on partitioning workflow, specially as a means of accelerating workflow execution; (ii) several systems have been developed using three main enactment models (i.e., centralized, hierarchical, and distributed models), but most of them focus on centralized execution control while the existing hierarchical and distributed models still have problems such as high overhead in communication amongst the distributed parties; and (iii) data movement mechanisms are divided into: centralized, mediated, and peer-to-peer models. …”
