TL;DR: In this article, a model in which the molecular dynamics simulation is coupled to a model for the electronic energy, which evolves via the heat diffusion equation, is presented for 10 keV cascades in Fe.

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-monotonic relationship between the number of residual defects and the strength of the electron-ion interactions was found for a series of 10 keV cascades in Fe.

TL;DR: Researchers have compared the recent availability of large-scale behavioral datasets, such as the ones generated by mobile phones, to the invention of the microscope, giving rise to the new field of computational social science.

TL;DR: This work investigates the viability of using CDR data combined with other sources of information to characterize the floods that occurred in Tabasco, Mexico in 2009 and suggests high potential in using cell tower activity information to improve early warning and emergency management mechanisms.

TL;DR: This work builds on recent results on the spatiotemporal structure of social and information networks to elucidate the constraints they pose on social mobilization and conducts high-resolution simulations for referral-based crowdsourcing and obtains a statistical characterization of the population recruited, geography covered, and time to completion.
