From Opinion Dynamics to Collective Action: How Identity-Based Tolerance Leads to Political Extremism by Liang, Chen E.

“…Current sociological theories attribute the recent surge in political extremism to mechanisms of opinion “homophily” (i.e., like-minded individuals interact more while dissimilar ones might distance) and “assimilation (i.e., interactions homogenize opinions),” which collectively suggest a social world dominated by extreme views. …”

Cross-Shelf Exchange Driven by Dense Flow Down a Canyon by Mier, Christian M.

“…This return flow is initially driven by the dense water eddies descending the canyon and acting like a bucket brigade. At later times, another mechanism may also be at play where large dense cyclonic (anticlockwise) eddies on the northern continental shelf may pull more dense water out of the canyon producing a region of low pressure, near the canyon head, which induces an increase in ambient flow into the canyon. …”

CAD-Based Geometry Representations for Monte Carlo Fusion Neutronics Methods and CSG vs. DAGMC Performance Tradeoffs in OpenMC by Du, Katelin

“…Performance comparison between CSG and DAGMC geometries in OpenMC is analyzed by evaluating particle simulation rates and memory usage across four progressively complex fusion-like models. Performance results reflect positively on DAGMC transport, but areas of future work are identified for more comprehensive results. …”

Hyperbolic String Field Theory by Firat, Atakan Hilmi

“…Our method suggests the existence of a hidden cubic structure within hyperbolic string field theory. We also take the WKB-like limit of our construction and demonstrate that it can be used to characterize Strebel quadratic differentials on Riemann surfaces. …”

Beyond the Bioclimatic Chart: An Automated Simulation-Based Method for Assessing Natural Ventilation and Passive Design Potential by Herb, Svenja

“…This innovation, however, has contributed to a homogenization in architectural designs globally, from the hot climates of Mumbai to the cold environments of Boston, and moderate settings like London. Such uniformity often overlooks local climatic conditions, resulting in increased energy consumption and elevated greenhouse gas emissions. …”

Effects of rapid thermal annealing on structure and luminescence of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots by Xu, S. J., Wang, X. C., Chua, S. J., Wang, C. H., Fan, Weijun, Jiang, J., Xie, X. G.

“…The excited-state-filling experiments for the samples show that the luminescence of the samples annealed at 850 °C exhibits quantum well-like behavior. Comparing with the reference quantum well, we demonstrate significant enhancement of the interdiffusion in the dot layer.…”

“…Metals with different work functions (Ti and Pt) and their combinations are used to control the junction transport (either ohmic or Schottky-like). We find that the electric bias is effective in manipulating the concentration of oxygen vacancies at the metal/STO interface, influencing the RS characteristics. …”
