Quantum mechanics: Myths and facts [PDF]
A common understanding of quantum mechanics (QM) among students and practical users is often plagued by a number of "myths", that is, widely accepted claims on which there is not really a general consensus among experts in foundations of QM. These myths include wave-particle duality, time-energy uncertainty relation, fundamental randomness, the absence

Unsupervised Graph Deep Learning Reveals Emergent Flood Risk Profile of Urban Areas [PDF]
Urban flood risk emerges from complex and nonlinear interactions among multiple features related to flood hazard, flood exposure, and social and physical vulnerabilities, along with the complex spatial flood dependence relationships. Existing approaches for characterizing urban flood risk, however, are primarily based on flood plain maps, focusing on a

Retrospectively Diagnosing Einstein with Asperger's Syndrome and the Dismal Failure of Debunking Myths [PDF]
In 2003, Simon Baron-Cohen, a world expert on autism, diagnosed Einstein posthumously with Asperger's syndrome. I think we cannot diagnose a dead person. Historians of science have fiercely objected to this trend of diagnosing deceased scientists by reconstructing from scant evidence, calling these diagnoses myths.

Poetic cosmogony in poems of Russian poets of the 18th – early 19th century
The research is significant due to the undiminishing interest shown by philosophers, philologists and culture experts to an eternal question of all times – the creation of the world by God. This aspect demands special consideration.

Comparison of annual maximum series and flood-type-differentiated mixture models of partial duration series [PDF]
The use of the annual maximum series for flood frequency analyses limits the considered information to one event per year and one sample that is assumed to be homogeneous. However, flood may have different generating processes, such as snowmelt, heavy rainfall or long-duration rainfall, which makes the assumption of homogeneity questionable.

Urban Flood Drifters (UFDs): identification, classification and characterisation [PDF]
Extreme floods threaten lives, assets and ecosystems, with the largest impacts occurring in urbanised areas. However, flood mitigation schemes generally neglect the fact that urban floods carry a considerable amount of solid load. In this study, we define Urban Flood Drifters (UFDs) as loose objects present in the urban landscape that can become mobile
