Campaign Knowledge Network: Building Knowledge for Campaign Efficiency [PDF]
In the landscape of exascale computing collaborative research campaigns are conducted as co-design activities of loosely coordinated experiments. But the higher level context and the knowledge of individual experimental activity is lost over time. We undertook a knowledge capture and representation aid called Campaign Knowledge Network(CKN), a co ...

Infrared Properties of Cataclysmic Variables in the 2MASS All Sky Data Release [PDF]
We present results from our analysis of the near-infrared (J, H, and Ks) photometry for all cataclysmic variables from the catalog of Downes et al. (2001) that are detected in the (final) All Sky Data Release from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS).

Circumstellar Disks at White Dwarfs: Observations [PDF]
The current picture painted by the observations of circumstellar dust at white dwarfs, and the consequent atmospheric pollution, is of a surviving planetary system. This chapter recounts in detail both the discovery and empirical characterization of dust disks at single white dwarfs, including all observational data available up to early 2011 ...

General Cognitive Ability Predicts Survival-Readiness in Genetically Heterogeneous Laboratory Mice
Although genetically heterogeneous laboratory mice express individual differences in general cognitive ability (c.f., “intelligence”), it is unknown whether these differences are translated into behaviors that would promote survival.

Collateral Unchained: Rehypothecation networks, concentration and systemic effects [PDF]
We study how network structure affects the dynamics of collateral in presence of rehypothecation. We build a simple model wherein banks interact via chains of repo contracts and use their proprietary collateral or re-use the collateral obtained by other banks via reverse repos.

Panic buying? Food hoarding during the pandemic period with city lockdown
Food hoarding is prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic. To investigate the mechanism of urban consumers' food hoarding behaviors, we categorize hoarding motives into rational and irrational ones.

UV Surface Environments and Atmospheres of Earth-like Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs [PDF]
An Earth-like exoplanet orbiting a white dwarf would be exposed to different UV environments than Earth, influencing both its atmospheric photochemistry and UV surface environment. Using a coupled 1D climate-photochemistry code we model atmospheres of Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of white dwarfs for surface temperatures between 6000 K and ...

The article provides a brief general introduction into the concepts of scaling, universality, and crossover scaling, plus the blob concept that provides an intuitive picture of crossover phenomena. We present the most important static and dynamic scaling laws for unentangled uncharged polymer solutions, together with their test and refinement by ...

Hoarders Only Discount Consumables and are More Patient for Money
Individuals with hoarding disorder (HD) excessively acquire and retain goods while also exhibiting characteristics of impulsivity and addiction. However, HD individuals do not always perform impulsively in experiments, they do not appear interested in ...
