Ground-state structure and dynamics in a toy model for granular compaction [PDF]
Physica D 216 (2006), 172-178, 2005 We report on a toy model for the glassy compaction dynamics of granular systems, introduced and investigated in collaboration with Anita Mehta and Peter Stadler. A stochastic dynamics is defined on a column of grains. Grains are anisotropic and possess a discrete orientational degree of freedom.

Moral luck and the unfairness of morality
Philosophical Studies, 2018 Moral luck occurs when factors beyond an agent’s control positively affect how much praise or blame she deserves. Kinds of moral luck are differentiated by the source of lack of control such as the results of her actions, the circumstances in which she ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...

Crystallography on Curved Surfaces [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 103, 12323, 2006
(Free Article), 2006 We study static and dynamical properties that distinguish two dimensional crystals constrained to lie on a curved substrate from their flat space counterparts. A generic mechanism of dislocation unbinding in the presence of varying Gaussian curvature is presented in the context of a model surface amenable to full analytical treatment.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Breast tumor samples scored for metabolic deregulation (M1 to M3) were given a hypoxia score (HS). The highest HS occurred in patients with strongest metabolic deregulation (M3), supporting tumor aggressiveness. HS correlated with the highest number of metabolic pathways in M1. This suggests hypoxia to be an early event in metabolic deregulation.

Emotion in good luck and bad luck: predictions from simplicity theory [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 The feeling of good or bad luck occurs whenever there is an emotion contrast between an event and an easily accessible counterfactual alternative. This study suggests that cognitive simplicity plays a key role in the human ability to experience good and bad luck after the occurrence of an event.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Analysis of ESR1 mutations in plasma cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is highly important for the selection of treatment in patients with breast cancer. Using multiplex‐ddPCR and identical blood draws, we investigated whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cfDNA provide similar or complementary information for ESR1 mutations.

Rangifer, 2000 This paper describes the reindeer Sami understanding of a worthy life expressed in qualitative distinctions centred around the term 'reindeer luck'. Reindeer luck does not in itself mean a good life but is an ingredient of a good life.
