Speakers: Tatyana Gavrilchenko (Flatiron Institute, NY, USA) The insect respiratory system is a network of air-filled tubes permeating the animal body, supplying oxygen for metabolic activity and removing waste carbon dioxide. The majority of gas exchange occurs in the finest … Read More

Once we have obtained the data, the question is how much information is encoded in it and how we can extract it. Any framework with this purpose utilizes information-besides-data and mathematical and statistical tools.  Bayesian statistics has the virtue that, by … Read More

A fundamental part of event generation, hadronization is currently simulated with the help of fine-tuned empirical models. Motivated by the difficulties of these models, in this talk I'll present MLHAD: a proposed alternative where the empirical model is replaced by … Read More

Nucleon decays are generic predictions of many well motivated theories, including those based on the unification of forces and supersymmetry. I will discuss how nonstandard nucleon decays offer a unique opportunity to broadly probe light new particles beyond the Standard … Read More

I will discuss a novel topological portal between quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and a dark QCD-like sector. Such a portal is present only for a unique coset structure after QCD confinement and it connects three QCD to two dark pions. When … Read More

Speakers: Jan Rozman Complex tissue flows in epithelia are driven by intra- and inter-cellular processes that generate, maintain, and coordinate mechanical forces. There has been growing evidence that cell shape anisotropy, manifested as nematic order, plays an important role in … Read More

Speakers: Somiealo Azote During embryonic development, the skin epidermis gradually transitions from a single layer of stem cells to a stratified, multi-layered tissue. This process involves the coordinated differentiation and upward movement of basal cells, known as delamination. It is … Read More

We revisit the decay rate of the electroweak vacuum in the Standard Model with the full one-loop prefactor. We focus on the gauge degrees of freedom and derive the degeneracy factors appearing in the functional determinant using group theoretical arguments. … Read More
