Abstract A direct, explicit derivation of the recently discovered time–information uncertainty relation in thermodynamics [S. B. Nicholson et al (2020), Nat. Phys. 16 , 1211] is presented.

Depiction Verbs and the Definiteness E ff ect  Introduction This paper is part of a longer project on the semantics of depiction verbs and their associated relational nouns. Depiction verbs include verbs for physical acts, such as ' draw' (with relational noun ' drawing'), 'sketch', 'caricature', 'sculpt', 'write (about)', and verbs for mental ones, such as 'visualize', 'imagine', and 'fantasi...

The year 1986 gave us Madonna's True Blue, Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vaults, and a new taxonomy of anoles (Guyer and Savage, 1986). Each of these greatly anticipated events began with considerable promise but ended up adding nothing of depth to the culture of the time. Madonna's best work was behind her, Capone's vaults were a letdown, and the proposed anole taxonomy was unsupported an...

This paper is a survey of our mathematical notions of Euclidean field theories as models for (the cocycles in) a cohomology theory. This subject was pioneered by Graeme Segal [Se1] who suggested more than two decades ago that a cohomology theory known as elliptic cohomology can be described in terms of 2-dimensional (conformal) field theories. Generally what we are looking for are isomorphisms ...

This paper explores the effect of spatial processes in a heterogeneous environment on the dynamics of a hostparasitoid interaction. The environment consists of a lattice of favourable (habitat) and hostile (matrix) hexagonal cells, whose spatial distribution is measured by habitat proportion and spatial autocorrelation (inverse of fragmentation). At each time step, a fixed fraction of both popu...

In this paper, we present an experimental study of the normal stress differences that arise in nonBrownian rigid fiber suspensions subject to a shear flow. While early measurements of the normal stress in fiber suspensions in Newtonian fluids measured only N1 −N2, the recent work of Snook et al. J. Fluid Mech. 758 486 (2014) and the present paper provide the first measurements of N1 and N2 sepa...

For species that are closely managed, understanding population resilience to environmental and anthropogenic disturbances (i.e., recovery trajectories across broad spatial areas) can guide which suite of management actions are available to mitigate any impacts. During January 2010, an extreme cold event in south Florida caused widespread mortality of common snook, Centropomus undecimalis, a pop...
