The problem of how staple yarns transmit tension is addressed within abstract models in which the Amontons-Coulomb friction laws yield a linear programming (LP) problem for the tensions in the fiber elements. We find there is a percolation transition such that above the percolation threshold the transmitted tension is in principle unbounded, We determine that the mean slack in the LP constraints is a suitable order parameter to characterize this supercritical state. We argue the mechanism is generic, and in practical terms corresponds to a switch from a ductile to a brittle failure mode accompanied by a significant increase in mechanical strength.

We argue that closed string tachyons drive two spacetime topology changing transitions -- loss of genus in a Riemann surface and separation of a Riemann surface into two components. The tachyons of interest are localiz
Clear presentation of uncertainty is an exception rather than rule in media articles, data-driven reports, and consumer applications, despite proposed techniques for communicating sources of uncertainty in data. This work considers, Why do so many vi
sualization authors choose not to visualize uncertainty? I contribute a detailed characterization of practices, associations, and attitudes related to uncertainty communication among visualization authors, derived from the results of surveying 90 authors who regularly create visualizations for others as part of their work, and interviewing thirteen influential visualization designers. My results highlight challenges that authors face and expose assumptions and inconsistencies in beliefs about the role of uncertainty in visualization. In particular, a clear contradiction arises between authors acknowledgment of the value of depicting uncertainty and the norm of omitting direct depiction of uncertainty. To help explain this contradiction, I present a rhetorical model of uncertainty omission in visualization-based communication. I also adapt a formal statistical model of how viewers judge the strength of a signal in a visualization to visualization-based communication, to argue that uncertainty communication necessarily reduces degrees of freedom in viewers statistical inferences. I conclude with recommendations for how visualization research on uncertainty communication could better serve practitioners current needs and values while deepening understanding of assumptions that reinforce uncertainty omission.
Password managers (PMs) are considered highly effective tools for increasing security, and a recent study by Pearman et al. (SOUPS19) highlighted the motivations and barriers to adopting PMs. We expand these findings by replicating Pearman et al.s pr
otocol and interview instrument applied to a sample of strictly older adults (>60 years of age), as the prior work focused on a predominantly younger cohort. We conducted n=26 semi-structured interviews with PM users, built-in browser/operating system PM users, and non-PM users. The average participant age was 70.4 years. Using the same codebook from Pearman et al., we showcase differences and similarities in PM adoption between the samples, including fears of a single point of failure and the importance of having control over ones private information. Meanwhile, older adults were found to have higher mistrust of cloud storage of passwords and cross-device synchronization. We also highlight PM adoption motivators for older adults, including the power of recommendations from family members and the importance of education and outreach to improve familiarity.
Twisting sheets as a strategy to form yarns with nested structure lacks scientific guiding principles but relies on millennia of human experience in making catguts, food packaging, and redeployable fabric wearables. We formulate a tensional twist-fol
ding route to making yarns with prescribed folded, scrolled, and encapsulated architectures by remote boundary loading. By harnessing micro-focus x-ray scanning to noninvasively image the fine internal structure, we show that a twisted sheet follows a surprisingly ordered folding transformation as it self-scrolls to form structured yarns. As a sheet is twisted by a half-turn, we find that the elastic sheet spiral accordion folds with star polygon shapes characterized by Schlafli symbols set by the primary instability. A scalable model incorporating dominant stretching modes with origami kinematics explains not only the observed multilayered structure, torque, and energetics, but also the topological transformation into yarns with prescribed crosssections through recursive folding and twist localization. By using hyperelastic materials, we further demonstrate that a wide range of structures can be readily redeployed, going well beyond other self-assembly methods in current broad use.
We analyze access statistics of a hundred and fifty blog entries and news articles, for periods of up to three years. Access rate falls as an inverse power of time passed since publication. The power law holds for periods of up to thousand days. The
exponents are different for different blogs and are distributed between 0.6 and 3.2. We argue that the decay of attention to a web article is caused by the link to it first dropping down the list of links on the websites front page, and then disappearing from the front page and its subsequent movement further into background. The other proposed explanations that use a decaying with time novelty factor, or some intricate theory of human dynamics cannot explain all of the experimental observations.
