During postembryonic development, the nervous system must adapt to a growing body. How changes in neuronal structure and connectivity contribute to the maintenance of appropriate circuit function remains unclear. Previously , we...
Abstract: Isostaticity theory (IT) provides stress field equations for marginally rigid packs of non-cohesive particles, interacting through hard-core forces. Its main advantage over strain-based theories is by closing the...
This chapter presents the results of a quantitative longitudinal study that examines the assessment of the professional digital competence of pre-service primary school teachers. The study explores the question of how an...
Dean Schneider to Leave Ursinus: Announcement Raises Questions for Many Faculty Members Maker's Club Promises Creative Fun for All Majors Anarchy at Ursinus? Meet the New President, Alisa Zenchenko '25 Softball Season Back...
Kyle Stanford has recently given substance to the problem of unconceived alternatives, which challenges the reliability of inference to the best explanation (IBE) in remote domains of nature. Conjoined with the view that IBE is...
We identify two orthogonal sources of structural entropy in rattler-free granular systems: affine, involving structural changes that only deform the contact network, and topological, corresponding to different topologies of the...
The microstructural organization of a granular system is the most important determinant of its macroscopic behavior. Here we identify the fundamental factors that determine the statistics of such microstructures, using numerical...

Solid-oxide fuel cells produce electric current from energy released by a spontaneous electrochemical reaction. The efficiency of these devices depends crucially on the microstructure of their electrodes and in particular on the...
We measure the quantum depletion of an interacting homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate and confirm the 70-year-old theory of Bogoliubov. The observed condensate depletion is reversibly tunable by changing the strength of the...

To survive in a complex and dynamic environment, animals must adapt their behavior based on their current needs and prior experiences. This flexibility is often mediated by neuromodulation within neural circuits that link...
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can serve as diagnostic biomarkers, we assessed miRNA expression in the Genetic...
We study the resistance force of cylindrical objects penetrating quasi-statically into granular media experimentally and numerically. Simulations are validated against experiments. In contrast to previous studies, we find in...
We develop a model of legislative decision making in which lobbying and public policy are jointly determined. We examine how policy outcomes depend on the sizes of the interest groups. While a larger size typically involves...
The existence of the cosmic neutrino background is a robust prediction of the hot big bang model. These neutrinos were a dominant component of the energy density in the early universe and, therefore, played an important role in...
We study the dynamics of an initially degenerate homogeneous Bose gas after an interaction quench to the unitary regime at a magnetic Feshbach resonance. As the cloud decays and heats, it exhibits a crossover from degenerate- to...

CSCG Brings Biologist and Policy Maker Nina Federoff to Campus Students Surprised by New Student Senate Requirements International Film Festival Kicks Off Q&A with Dean Mark Schneider Beekeeping Society Creates Some Buzz ...
In this paper we examine the impact of tax contracts as a novel institution on elections, policies, and welfare. We consider a political game in which three parties compete to form the government and voters may behave...
