Dislocations are topological line defects in three-dimensional crystals. Same-sign dislocations repel according to Frank's rule |b1 + b2|(2) > |b1|(2) + |b2|(2). This rule is broken for dislocations in van der Waals (vdW) layers, which possess crystallographic Burgers vector as ordinary dislocations but feature "surface ripples" due to the ease of bending and weak vdW adhesion of the atomic lay...

People routinely remember events that have passed and imagine those that are yet to come. The past and the future are sometimes psychologically close (“just around the corner”) and other times psychologically distant (“ages away”). Four studies demonstrate a systematic asymmetry whereby future events are psychologically closer than past events of equivalent objective distance. When considering ...

Seven species of Munididae are reported from the continental margin of north-western Australia. Three species are new to science: Crosnierita adela sp. nov., Onconida ariel sp. nov. and Plesionida aurelia sp. nov., each presently known only from Western Australia. Four species are reported for the first time from Australian waters, Bathymunida balssi Van Dam, 1838, Bathymunida dissimilis Baba &...

In this paper we prove four cases of the vanishing conjecture of differential operators with constant coefficients and also a conjecture on the Laurent polynomials with no holomorphic parts, which were proposed in [Zh3] by the third named author. We also give two examples to show that the generalizations of both the vanishing conjecture and the Duistermaat-van der Kallen theorem [DK] to Laurent...

Human interaction often appears to be random and at times even chaotic. We use game theory, the mathematical study of interactive decision making, to explain the role of rationality and randomness in strategic behavior. In many of these situations, humans deliberately create randomness as a best response and equilibrium strategy. Moreover, once out of equilibrium, individual beliefs about the r...
