TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed techniques to compute higher loop string amplitudes for twisted N = 2 theories with ε = 3 (i.e. the critical case) by exploiting the discovery of an anomaly at every genus in decoupling of BRST trivial states, captured by a master anomaly equation.
Abstract: We develop techniques to compute higher loop string amplitudes for twistedN=2 theories withĉ=3 (i.e. the critical case). An important ingredient is the discovery of an anomaly at every genus in decoupling of BRST trivial states, captured to all orders by a master anomaly equation. In a particular realization of theN=2 theories, the resulting string field theory is equivalent to a topological theory in six dimensions, the Kodaira-Spencer theory, which may be viewed as the closed string analog of the Chern-Simons theory. Using the mirror map this leads to computation of the ‘number’ of holomorphic curves of higher genus curves in Calabi-Yau manifolds. It is shown that topological amplitudes can also be reinterpreted as computing corrections to superpotential terms appearing in the effective 4d theory resulting from compactification of standard 10d superstrings on the correspondingN=2 theory. Relations withc=1 strings are also pointed out.

TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation of nanocrystalline copper has been studied and it is shown that the hardness and yield stress of the material typically increase with decreasing grain size, a phenomenon known as the reverse Hall-Petch effect.
Abstract: Nanocrystalline solids, in which the grain size is in the nanometre range, often have technologically interesting properties such as increased hardness and ductility. Nanocrystalline metals can be produced in several ways, among the most common of which are high-pressure compaction of nanometre-sized clusters and high-energy ball-milling1,2,3,4. The result is a polycrystalline metal with the grains randomly orientated. The hardness and yield stress ofthe material typically increase with decreasing grain size, a phenomenon known as the Hall–Petch effect5,6. Here we present computer simulations of the deformation of nanocrystalline copper, which show a softening with grain size (a reverse Hall–Petch effect3,7) for the smallest sizes. Most of the plastic deformation is due to a large number of small ‘sliding’ events of atomic planes at the grain boundaries, with only a minor part being caused by dislocation activity in the grains; the softening that we see at small grain sizes is therefore due to the larger fraction of atoms at grain boundaries. This softening will ultimately impose a limit on how strong nanocrystalline metals may become.

TL;DR: It is proposed that understanding the algorithm that produces core object recognition will require using neuronal and psychophysical data to sift through many computational models, each based on building blocks of small, canonical subnetworks with a common functional goal.

TL;DR: The question asked in this paper is: is it possible to achieve a form of agreement also in presence of antagonistic interactions, modeled as negative weights on the communication graph?
Abstract: In a consensus protocol an agreement among agents is achieved thanks to the collaborative efforts of all agents, expresses by a communication graph with nonnegative weights. The question we ask in this paper is the following: is it possible to achieve a form of agreement also in presence of antagonistic interactions, modeled as negative weights on the communication graph? The answer to this question is affirmative: on signed networks all agents can converge to a consensus value which is the same for all agents except for the sign. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained to describe cases in which this is possible. These conditions have strong analogies with the theory of monotone systems. Linear and nonlinear Laplacian feedback designs are proposed.

TL;DR: A series of routines that can be interfaced with the most popular classical molecular dynamics codes through a simple patching procedure, which leaves the possibility for the user to exploit many different MD engines depending on the system simulated and on the computational resources available.
