t has been shown that the flow of a simple liquid over a solid surface can violate the so-called no-slip boundary condition. We investigate the flow of polar liquids, water and glycerol, on a hydrophilic Pyrex surface and a hydrophobic surface made...
FIDO2 authentication is starting to be applied in numerous web authentication services, aiming to replace passwords and their known vulnerabilities. However, this new authentication method has not been integrated yet with network authentication syste...

There have been recently several works studying the regularized stochastic heat equation (SHE) and Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in dimension $d\geq 3$ as the smoothing parameter is switched off, but most of the results did not hold in the full...
One scenario proposed to explain the million degrees solar corona is a finely-stranded corona where each strand is heated by a rapid pulse. However, such fine structure has neither been resolved through direct imaging observations nor conclusively sh...
Tooth segmentation is a key step for computer aided diagnosis of dental diseases. Numerous machine learning models have been employed for tooth segmentation on dental panoramic radiograph. However, it is a difficult task to achieve accurate tooth seg...
Intermode interactions in one-dimensional nonlinear periodic structures have been studied by many authors, starting with the classic work by Fermi, Pasta, and Ulam (FPU) in the middle of the last century. However, symmetry selection rules for the ene...
They have since been replaced by the toothless bush and the 32126 smooth toggle joint, both being produced until today. I assume this was because the teeth on the old ones would easily break, and TLG ...
It has been suggested that the cosmic history might repeat in cycles, with an infinite series of similar aeons in the past and the future. Here, we instead propose that the cosmic history repeats itself exactly, constructing a universe on a periodic...
In this note I respond to Vilenkin's claim that there must have been a beginning....
One-shot Neural Architecture Search (NAS) aims to minimize the computational expense of discovering state-of-the-art models. However, in the past year attention has been drawn to the comparable performance of naive random search across the same searc...
My parents are split. Have been for 30 years. When my mom's dad died, she got a huge inheritance, spent it on a big old 5 bedroom house with 3 living spaces (for her and her 74 year old husband) and f...
111 told me to go to A&E, I went to a big outer London hospital. I was triaged quickly, bloods showed a serious infection (CRP over 400 for anyone into blood test results) and had a couple of roun...

The Standard Model predicts a long-range force, proportional to $G_F^2/r^5$, between fermions due to the exchange of a pair of neutrinos. This quantum force is feeble and has not been observed yet. In this paper, we compute this force in the presence...
Open world games have been a dominant trend for over a decade now—from Skyrim and Witcher 3 to Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom. But lately, I’ve seen more people saying they’re getting tired...

So for context, I have a master's degree in something completely unrelated to this job, I got hired because I interviewed well and apparently "fast learner" on a CV is legally binding. Eight months in...
