Aggregation, Beneficence, and Chance [PDF]
It is plausible to think that it is wrong to cure many people’s headaches rather than save someone else’s life. On the other hand, it is plausible to think that it is not wrong to expose someone to a tiny risk of death when curing this person’s headache.

2D pattern evolution constrained by complex network dynamics
Complex networks have established themselves along the last years as being particularly suitable and flexible for representing and modeling several complex natural and human-made systems.

Anisotropic vortex pinning in superconductors with a square array of rectangular submicron holes [PDF]
We investigate vortex pinning in thin superconducting films with a square array of rectangular submicron holes ("antidots"). Two types of antidots are considered: antidots fully perforating the superconducting film, and "blind antidots", holes that perforate the film only up to a certain depth.

Aluminium phosphide poisoning in mice and the procedure for its managements
Objective: Aluminium phosphide (ALP) cause cellular death by releasing of phosphorus. This material is also a household fumigant insecticide used in rice bags. It is known as “Rice tablet” in Iran.

Antidote use in a pediatric emergency department [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Poisoning is an infrequent cause of consultation in a pediatric emergency department (PED), but it can be potentially serious. Pediatricians should know how to use the available antidotes properly.

Superconducting Vortex Logic Antidots [PDF]
We examine a building block for logic devices in which the positions of superconducting vortices in coupled elongated antidots provide the elementary logic states of 0 and 1. We show analytically and through simulation the maximum operating frequency of a pair of antidots as a function of antidot spacing and elongation. At finite temperatures, a signal

Anisotropic Caging of Interstitial Vortices in Superconductors with a Square Array of Rectangular Antidots [PDF]
We investigate anisotropy in the vortex pinning in thin superconducting films with a square array of rectangular submicron holes ("antidots"). The size of the antidots is chosen in such a way that it corresponds to a saturation number n_s=1, i.e. each antidot can trap at most one flux quantum.

Reducing vortex losses in superconducting microwave resonators with microsphere patterned antidot arrays [PDF]
We experimentally investigate the vortex induced energy losses in niobium coplanar waveguide resonators with and without quasihexagonal arrays of nanoholes (antidots), where large-area antidot patterns have been fabricated using self-assembling microsphere lithography.

Intellectual Humility and the Curse of Knowledge [PDF]
This chapter explores an unappreciated psychological dimension of intellectual humility. In particular, I argue there is a plausible connection between intellectual humility and epistemic egocentrism. Epistemic egocentrism is a well-known cognitive bias –
