Together with the high late medieval nobility, we find middle and lower nobles without titles who support high noblemen in the defence of their interests and are under their authority.

Study of a model for the folding of a small protein [PDF]
We describe the results obtained from an improved model for protein folding. We find that a good agreement with the native structure of a 46 residue long, five-letter protein segment is obtained by carefully tuning the parameters of the self-avoiding energy. In particular we find an improved free-energy profile.

On the posterior distribution of the number of components in a finite mixture [PDF]
The posterior distribution of the number of components k in a finite mixture satisfies a set of inequality constraints. The result holds irrespective of the parametric form of the mixture components and under assumptions on the prior distribution weaker than those routinely made in the literature on Bayesian analysis of finite mixtures.

Crime Against History: Slavery, Race, and the 1776 Report
ABSTRACT With the 2025 executive order, “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K‐12 Schooling,” the Trump administration reestablished the 1776 Commission, which produced The 1776 Report.
