`The discovery of the tall-crested S. mirabilis sp. nov. in a riparian setting within an inland basin supports a lifestyle interpretation of a wading, shoreline predator with visual display an important aspect of its biology. At the end of the Cenomanian about 95 million years ago, an abrupt eustatic rise in sea level and the attendant climate change brought the spinosaurid radiation to an end.`

`Matt Adams, an attorney for plaintiffs in the lawsuit before Sykes, said he was hopeful her latest ruling would do away with mandatory detention.

“Certainly in the normal course of things, the immigration judges would return to granting bond hearings,” he said.`

`Using three-dimensional habitat designs that capture the full spectrum of natural oyster reef architectures, as well as a geometric theory that links habitat surface area, fractal dimension and height, we show that oyster settlement and survival are greatest at particular combinations of fractal dimension and height that minimize predation.`

`The firm’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware to demo quantum teleportation over 30km of live, commercial Berlin fiber, running alongside classical internet traffic. In an email to Tom’s Hardware, Deutsche Telekom’s PR folks said that Cisco also ran the same hardware and demo process to connect data centers in NYC.`

"These results identify long-terminal-repeat retrotransposons, specifically Ty5 sequences, as the genetic substrate for point-centromere evolution and provide a mechanistic route by which an epigenetic centromere can become genetically specified. More broadly, they show how selfish elements can be co-opted to perform essential chromosomal functions."

@JeromeDqn i sat in on Guckenheimer's nonlinear ODE course at Cornell :) incredible how many nonlinear ODEs have linear flows locally. matrix exponentials for the win :)

Hi everyone!

I am looking for #fellow applied mathematicians interested in low dimensional dynamical systems and #chaos to #follow and #connect on mastodon.

Are you one or know one?
Please, add #tags of them in replies!

#AppliedMath #chaos #nonlinearity

so fictional villains are real now? :-/

the bass is nice and high in the mix on this one :)

"Education not deportation" on Valencia and 23rd St. Street art by Maybe Later. #SFGraffiti #Graffiti #MaybeLater

Art on the side of the building that says "Education not deportation" in brightly colored letters. The art is large and high up on the side of the school (which is currently closed for remodelling). The art is in the colors and styles commonly used by Maybe Later, a local graffiti artist. This isn't an officially approved mural, but it looks very professional, as if a sign painter made it.

What Americans die from vs. what's reported in the media

by @ourworldindata

This infographic from Our World in Data, titled “What Americans die from vs the causes the US media reports on,” compares actual causes of death in the US in 2023 (left) with New York Times media coverage of those causes in 2023 (right). The left stacked bar shows heart disease as the leading cause at 29%, followed by cancer (27%), accidents (7.8%), stroke (7%), lower respiratory diseases (6.3%), Alzheimer’s (4.9%), diabetes (4.1%), and smaller shares for kidney failure, liver disease, suicide, COVID-19, influenza/pneumonia, drug overdose, homicide (<1%), and terrorism (<0.001%). The right stacked bar shows NYT coverage percentages normalized to 100% across selected causes: homicide dominates at 42%, followed by terrorism (18%), drug overdose (7.5%), COVID-19 (5.3%), suicide (3.8%), accidents (9.7%), cancer (4.1%), and heart disease (2.8%). The stark mismatch highlights how media coverage overrepresents rare violent causes while underrepresenting leading natural causes of death. Data sources listed are Media Cloud (2025), US CDC (2025), and Global Terrorism Index; the graphic includes a “Swipe →” prompt suggesting it is part of a carousel.

`Overall, the synergistic effect of rapid expansion by shape memory foam, along with the excellent procoagulant ability of the nanocomposite makes this biocompatible, expandable hemostat a promising treatment for noncompressible hemorrhage.`

I think my favourite man page example so far is this rsync man page (via @shnizmuffin) https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rsync.1

it gives examples BEFORE giving an exhaustive list of options!

the synopsis just says "rsync [OPTION...] SRC... [DEST]" instead of giving you an exhaustive list of options like "-ABCFGHILOPRSTUWabcdefghiklmnopqrstuvwxy1%"!

there's an "OPTION SUMMARY" section that gives you a 1-line summary of each option! (this feels SO SO much useful than the normal SYNOPSIS to me)

(2/?)
