Modelling the impact of testing, contact tracing and household quarantine on second waves of COVID-19 by Aleta, Alberto, Martín-Corral, David, Pastore y Piontti, Ana, Ajelli, Marco, Litvinova, Maria, Chinazzi, Matteo, Dean, Natalie E., Halloran, M. Elizabeth, Longini Jr, Ira M., Merler, Stefano, Pentland, Alex, Vespignani, Alessandro, Moro, Esteban, Moreno, Yamir

“…While severe social-distancing measures have proven effective in slowing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, second-wave scenarios are likely to emerge as restrictions are lifted. Here we integrate anonymized, geolocalized mobility data with census and demographic data to build a detailed agent-based model of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission in the Boston metropolitan area. …”

Do we need economic inequality? by Dorling, D

“…What if, he asks, widespread economic inequality is actually just a passing phase, a feature of the capitalist transition from a settled rural way of life to our next highly urban steady-state? Is it really likely that we face a Blade Runner-style dystopian future divided between a tiny elite and an impoverished mass? …”

Quantum tunneling of magnetization in ultrasmall half-metallic V3O4 quantum dots : displaying quantum superparamagnetic state by Xiao, Chong, Zhang, Jiajia, Xu, Jie, Tong, Wei, Cao, Boxiao, Li, Kun, Pan, Bicai, Su, Haibin, Xie, Yi

“…The quantum superparamagnetic state (QSP) as a high temperature signature of QTMs is observed at 16 K, which is beyond absolute zero temperature and much higher than that of conventional iron-based compounds due to the stronger spin-orbital coupling of V3+ ions bringing high anisotropy energy. It is undoubtedly that this ultrasmall quantum dots, V3O4, offers not only a promising candidate for theoretical understanding of QTMs but also a very exciting possibility for computers using mesoscopic magnets.…”

Think Twice Before Going for Incentives: Social Norms and the Principal's Decision on Compensation Contracts by Cardinaels, Eddy, Yin, Huaxiang

“…When principals use incentives, their choices not only incentivize truthful reporting and signal distrust, but they also leak important information about the social norm, namely, that other agents are likely to report dishonestly. Agents conform to this social norm by misrepresenting cost information more. …”

Entropic centrality for non-atomic flow networks by Oggier, Frédérique, Phetsouvanh, Silivanxay, Datta, Anwitaman

“…Given a graph, the notion of entropic centrality was introduced by Tutzauer to characterize vertices which are important in the sense that there is a high uncertainty about the destination of an atomic flow starting at them, assuming that at each hop, the flow is equally likely to continue to any unvisited vertex, or to be terminated there. …”
