We investigate transmission dynamics for SARS-CoV-2 on a real network of classes at Simon Fraser University, a medium-sized school in Western Canada. Outbreaks are simulated over the course of one semester across numerous parameter settings…
The origin of water's anomalous behavior remains a central open problem in the physical sciences and is often attributed to a liquid-liquid transition (LLT) between high- and low-density liquid states deep in the supercooled regime.…
Magnetic flux trapping in the Meissner transition of superconducting radio frequency cavities can substantially increase dissipation which impacts cryogenic costs and necessitates expensive magnetic shielding. Recent findings point at the…
