Electromagnetism (E&M) is often challenging for students enrolled in introductory college-level physics courses. Compared to mechanics, the mathematics of E&M is more sophisticated and the representations are more abstract. Furthermore, students may lack productive intuitions they had with force and motion. In this article, we explore the mathematization of electric charge. Specifically, we explore how difficulties with positive and negative signs can arise for learners who approach integers primarily as positions on a number line.

We prove that there exists an absolute constant $delta>0$ such any binary code $Csubset{0,1}^N$ tolerating $(1/2-delta)N$ adversarial deletions must satisfy $|C|le 2^{text{poly}log N}$ and thus have rate asymptotically approaching 0. This is the firs
t constant fraction improvement over the trivial bound that codes tolerating $N/2$ adversarial deletions must have rate going to 0 asymptotically. Equivalently, we show that there exists absolute constants $A$ and $delta>0$ such that any set $Csubset{0,1}^N$ of $2^{log^A N}$ binary strings must contain two strings $c$ and $c$ whose longest common subsequence has length at least $(1/2+delta)N$. As an immediate corollary, we show that $q$-ary codes tolerating a fraction $1-(1+2delta)/q$ of adversarial deletions must also have rate approaching 0. Our techniques include string regularity arguments and a structural lemma that classifies binary strings by their oscillation patterns. Leveraging these tools, we find in any large code two strings with similar oscillation patterns, which is exploited to find a long common subsequence.
In [5] Graham and Rothschild consider a geometric Ramsey problem: finding the least n such that if all edges of the complete graph on the points {+1,-1}^n are 2-colored, there exist 4 coplanar points such that the 6 edges between them are monochromat
ic. They give an explicit upper bound: F(F(F(F(F(F(F(12))))))), where F(m) = 2^^(m)^^3, an extremely fast-growing function. By reducing the problem to a variant of the Hales-Jewett problem, we find an upper bound which is between F(4) and F(5).
While the Standard Model of particle physics does not include free particles with fractional charge, experimental searches have not ruled out their existence. We report results from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment that give the
first direct-detection limits for cosmogenically-produced relativistic particles with electric charge lower than $e$/6. A search for tracks in the six stacked detectors of each of two of the CDMS II towers found no candidates, thereby excluding new parameter space for particles with electric charges between $e$/6 and $e$/200.
Physical processes thatobtain, process, and erase information involve tradeoffs between information and energy. The fundamental energetic value of a bit of information exchanged with a reservoir at temperature T is kT ln2. This paper investigates the
situation in which information is missing about just what physical process is about to take place. The fundamental energetic value of such information can be far greater than kT ln2 per bit.
Signed graphs are graphs with signed edges. They are commonly used to represent positive and negative relationships in social networks. While balance theory and clusterizable graphs deal with signed graphs to represent social interactions, recent emp
irical studies have proved that they fail to reflect some current practices in real social networks. In this paper we address the issue of drawing signed graphs and capturing such social interactions. We relax the previous assumptions to define a drawing as a model in which every vertex has to be placed closer to its neighbors connected via a positive edge than its neighbors connected via a negative edge in the resulting space. Based on this definition, we address the problem of deciding whether a given signed graph has a drawing in a given $ell$-dimensional Euclidean space. We present forbidden patterns for signed graphs that admit the introduced definition of drawing in the Euclidean plane and line. We then focus on the $1$-dimensional case, where we provide a polynomial time algorithm that decides if a given complete signed graph has a drawing, and constructs it when applicable.
