Novel Cu-based dz2 order at a YBa2Cu3O7/ manganite interface [PDF]
The interplay of nearly degenerate orders in quantum materials can lead to a myriad of emergent phases. A prominent case is that of the high-Tc cuprates for which the relationship between superconductivity and a short-ranged, incommensurate charge density wave in the CuO2 planes involving the dx2-y2 orbitals (Cu-CDW) is a subject of great current ...

The effect of Swiss regional nature parks on agricultural earnings
In our study, we unveil that most Swiss regional nature parks provide neither positive nor negative effects on agricultural earnings in economically disadvantaged areas. Our results serve as a basis for policymakers and park managers to adapt current activities and design and implement measures to enhance the economic situation of farmers in these ...

Depinning transition of a directed polymer by a periodic potential: a d-dimensional solution [PDF]
We study the depinning phase transition of a directed polymer in a $d$-dimensional space by a periodic potential localized on a straight line. We give exact formulas in all dimensions for the critical pinning we need to localize the polymer. We show that a bounded state can still arise even if, in average, the potential layer is not attractive and for ...

Gender on the mind? Gender heuristics and rationalizations in candidate evaluations
Abstract As more women enter politics, public and scholarly narratives about the extent and nature of gender bias in mediated campaigning environments diversify. Yet there is still little understanding of how voters substantively think about gender in their evaluations of women and men candidates and how voters' thoughts are affected by different types

Ground State Wave Function of the Schrödinger Equation in a Time-Periodic Potential [PDF]
Using a generalized transfer matrix method we exactly solve the Schr\"odinger equation in a time periodic potential, with discretized Euclidean space-time. The ground state wave function propagates in space and time with an oscillating soliton-like wave packet and the wave front is wedge shaped.

Gender composition at work and women's career satisfaction: An international study of 35 societies
Abstract Drawing from status characteristics theory, we develop a multilevel model to explain the relationships between gender composition (e.g., female‐female supervisor‐subordinate dyads, a female majority at the next higher level, and a female majority at the same job level) in the workplace and women's career satisfaction.

Low density ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model [PDF]
A single-band Hubbard model with nearest and next-nearest neighbour hopping is studied for $d=1$, 2, 3, using both analytical and numerical techniques. In one dimension, saturated ferromagnetism is found above a critical value of $U$ for a band structure with two minima and for small and intermediate densities.

Diffusion on a hypercubic lattice with pinning potential: exact results for the error-catastrophe problem in biological evolution [PDF]
In the theoretical biology framework one fundamental problem is the so-called error catastrophe in Darwinian evolution models. We reexamine Eigen's fundamental equations by mapping them into a polymer depinning transition problem in a ``genotype'' space represented by a unitary hypercubic lattice.

Control Synthesis of Nonlinear Sampled Switched Systems using Euler's Method [PDF]
In this paper, we propose a symbolic control synthesis method for nonlinear sampled switched systems whose vector fields are one-sided Lipschitz. The main idea is to use an approximate model obtained from the forward Euler method to build a guaranteed control.
