Everything Is A Matter Of Distance
A Peer-Reviewed Journal AboutIn physics, distance is measured as the product of speed and time; in mathematics, it is defined as the total path travelled by an object from one point to another. Both definitions share an operational clarity but capture only a single dimension of the

Control of finite critical behaviour in a small-scale social system
Nature Communications, 2017 Proximity to criticality can be advantageous under changing conditions, but it also entails reduced robustness. Here, the authors analyse fight sizes in a macaque society and find not only that it sits near criticality, but also that the distance from ...

The proximities of asteroids and critical points of the distance function
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2010 The proximities are important for different purposes, for example to evaluate the risk of collisions of asteroids or comets with the Solar-System planets. We describe a simple and efficient method for finding the asteroid proximities in the case of elliptical orbits with a common focus.

Casimir force in the O(n -> infinity) model with free boundary conditions
, 2014 We present results for the temperature behavior of the Casimir force for a system with a film geometry with thickness $L$ subject to free boundary conditions and described by the $n\to\infty$ limit of the $O(n)$ model.

Quantized conductance doubling and hard gap in a two-dimensional semiconductor-superconductor heterostructure [PDF]
, 2016 The prospect of coupling a two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor heterostructure to a superconductor opens new research and technology opportunities, including fundamental problems in mesoscopic superconductivity, scalable superconducting electronics, and ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...

Deconstructing Depth: Proximity and Contemplation in Déjà Vu
Film-Philosophy, 2018 This article interrogates the persistence of critical frameworks informed by depth-models of hermeneutics, and the repercussions the equation of “depth” with meaningfulness has for the appreciation of the “shallow” aesthetics of post-classical action ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...
