Predictive dislocation mobility in high-entropy alloys without driven molecular dynamics: A quantum statistical approach
We develop a quantum statistical theory of phonon-mediated dislocation drag in chemically disordered alloys. Starting from a configuration-dependent harmonic Hamiltonian with Kanzaki coupling, we integrate out the lattice exactly via a Keldysh influence functional and obtain, for each disordered realization, a causal retarded memory kernel for the collective glide coordinate.
Early Recognition of Neonatal Septic Arthritis in Premature Infants: Diagnostic Challenges and Clinical Implications
Dear Editor, I read with great interest the case report by Arnold et al. describing septic arthritis of the hip in a premature neonate caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The report highlights an important but uncommon presentation of neonatal infection and emphasizes the diagnostic difficulties associated with musculoskeletal infections in premature infants. Septic arthritis in neonates remains a diagnostic challenge because early clinical manifestations are often subtle and nonspecific.
The Cosmic Significance of Christmas
The way God sent his Son into the world is not to be explained or understood. John simply says that the Word became flesh (John 1:14). This Word is his love, and he poured it out through the Holy Spirit in Mary. Only in this sense can we begin to understand the mystery of the virgin birth. When the angels appeared to the shepherds they said, “Unto you a child is born. Unto you a son is given” (Luke 2:11). We must take that to heart: to you a child is born.
Like Birds Flying Overhead
This article is an excerpt from Freedom from Sinful Thoughts. If we are plagued or tempted by evil thoughts, that in itself is not sinning. For instance, if we feel tempted to lash out at someone who has wronged us, yet then find strength to forgive him, we have not sinned. But if we refuse to let go of our hurt and hold a grudge against him, that is sin. In the same way, if we are aroused by a lustful thought but reject it, we have not sinned.
Freedom from Sinful Thoughts
About The Book We don't talk about them, but all of us have them - private jealousies, resentments, fantasies, and temptations. For over four decades, Arnold's sensitive wisdom has helped thousands of readers battle these unwanted thoughts. Now his quiet but steady-selling little classic is available to a new generation in an expanded and revised new edition. Arnold assures us that tempting thoughts are not sinful in and of themselves. It's what we do with them that matters.
Faith in Jesus
This article is excerpted from J. Heinrich Arnold’s Discipleship: Living for Christ in the Daily Grind. I once met some people who were critical of our giving “too much” honor to Jesus. We were talking about a saying of Jesus, and one of them asked me, “Do you believe this because Jesus said it, or because it is true?” I said I believed it for both reasons: because Jesus said it and because it is true.
The Way of the Passion
Felicity of Carthage This third-century eyewitness account describes the martyrdom of Felicity, an enslaved woman, and her companions. Felicity, who had been with child when she was arrested, was sorrowful as the day of the games drew near, fearing lest for this cause she should be kept back (for it is not lawful for women that are with child to be brought forth for torment) and lest she should shed her holy and innocent blood after the rest, among strangers and malefactors.
WOMEN TRUTHERS
Here you have Florence Nightingale, the most famous nurse in history ─ after life-long experience with infection, contagion, and epidemics ─ challenging the germ theory of disease 17 years before Pasteur put it forward as his own discovery! A man named Plenciz had suggested a such a theory nearly a century before she wrote these words, so the concept already existed.
True Love on Valentine's Day — Bruderhof
A holiday best known for chocolate and Hallmark cards can remind us of the relationships that really matter. By J. Heinrich Arnold Why celebrate Valentine’s Day? According to tradition, the fourteenth of February is named for a third-century Roman martyr beheaded for performing illegal Christian weddings. Whether or not this legend has a basis in history, this day should remind us that love is the most important creation. It is the heart and joy of God.
Svante Myrick: The right lesson to take from Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every year, the arrival of the Martin Luther King holiday calls us to pause and reflect on Dr. King’s legacy. And every year, I’m struck by the same thing: as sincere as we are in our reverence for Dr. King, we keep learning the wrong lessons, not just from his life but from history writ large. Let me explain. In my life, in our lives as Americans, there are people and stories that inspire us.
Charles D. Myers: What Jesus would say to voters
In 1863 Abraham Lincoln saw that the deep political divisions of his day posed an existential threat to this experiment in democracy.
Michael V. Murphy and Andrew Henry: Most Americans feel patriotic. It's what they feel about other Americans that's the problem.
Rapidly growing majorities of Republicans and Democrats say their political counterparts are close-minded, dishonest, immoral and unintelligent. Two-thirds of Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike fear American democracy itself is in danger of collapse. Yet despite deep polarization, mounting national pessimism and politicization of the idea of patriotism, American patriotism appears to remain alive and widespread.
Jordan J. Ballor: Religious freedom in Pennsylvania good, but could be better
Pennsylvania came in 12th among the states, tied with Alabama. But it was second in the mid-Atlantic region, behind 8th place Maryland. That’s its rank in how well it is doing in protecting the rights of diverse religious adherents, as measured in a new index of safeguards of religious exercise across the fifty states. Religious freedom is in the state’s DNA. The colony of Pennsylvania was founded in 1681, when William Penn was given a royal charter by King Charles II of England.
J. Heinrich Arnold: How to be a patriot when you believe in God
For my father, as for many immigrants, questions of nationality and patriotism were complicated. He’d been born in England to German parents fleeing the Third Reich, then grown up in South America. He and his family were members of the Bruderhof, a Christian community expelled from Germany for opposing the Nazi regime. The Bruderhof is now an international church, with an urban home in Pittsburgh and two village-size communities in Fayette County.
A Response to the Overturn of Roe v Wade
A Response to the Overturn of Roe v Wade June 24, 2022 by J. Heinrich Arnold The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade in what is likely the most polarizing and emotional ruling of recent years. Many will debate the clarity, courage, and correctness of this decision. I am relieved that killing the unborn is no longer protected as a right by the highest court of the land.
Prevalence and Prognostic Significance of Microvascular Dysfunction in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction:
JACC Journals › JACC: Imaging › Archives › Vol. 15 No. 6 Abstract Background The pathophysiological and clinical significance of microvascular dysfunction (MVD) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains uncertain.
Peacemaking in Wartime
Son, Make the World Better Place, 1988 – Ivan-Valentyn Zadorozhny. The artist was born on July 7, 1921 in Rzhyshchiv, Ukraine. “Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?” asked the Psalmist three thousand years ago (Ps. 2:1). In today’s terms: Why did Vladimir Putin’s Russia invade Ukraine in an act of war unlike anything seen in Europe for seventy-seven years? What should be done: what military action, what sanctions, what war crimes charges? Those are not questions for me to answer.
Commentary: I oppose abortion but agree with prochoice faithful on many issues
Once again, as the Supreme Court takes up the case of Dobbs v. Jackson, it seems those on opposing sides of the abortion debate cannot help but speak past each other. Since the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade in 1973, over 60 million abortions have occurred in the United States. A decision on behalf of the defendant in the current case could permit state governments to prohibit or limit abortion before the 24-week mark. I oppose abortion as I oppose the killing of any innocent person.
Where Every Child Is Wanted
Once again, as the Supreme Court takes up the case of Dobbs v. Jackson, it seems those on opposing sides of the abortion debate cannot help but speak past each other. Since the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade in 1973, over sixty million abortions have occurred in the United States. A decision on behalf of the defendant in the current case could permit state governments to prohibit or limit abortion before the twenty-four-week mark.
Are We Willing to Surrender?
This article is an excerpt from Freedom from Sinful Thoughts. If we believe that faith is a gift from God, it follows that for this gift to become ours, we must willingly receive it. And we must receive it as it is given – we cannot dictate the path on which it takes us or the way it might change our lives. In short, to receive faith in God, we must surrender all faith in our own power to bring about change: “His power is made perfect in our weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9).
Made in the Image of God
What is man? He exists in a field of tension between animal and spirit. Most people do not recognize this all-important tension. They ignore the fact that they are called to something higher than being an animal, that they should allow the spirit to live in them. No matter at what stage of evolution the creature was that became the first man, God breathed his breath into it (Genesis 2:7) and formed it in its inner potentials into an image of God.
Ascension Day
The Feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ, or Ascension Thursday, comes as the fortieth day of Easter. The disciples who were with Jesus in the village of Bethany witnessed his lifting up, watching even as he vanished into heaven. They were comforted and encouraged by angels: “Someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!” (Acts 1:6–11).
The Origins Of Your Favorite Sodas
Have you ever wondered about the backgrounds of your favorite soft drinks? In this article, I will tell you about the characters behind the creation of three delicious sugary delicacies. Soda is practically a worldwide tradition - the children of Coca-Cola and Pepsi are the children of the world. Still, most soft drink consumers do not know the stories behind their preferred thirst-quenchers. I hope to correct that with this article.
Identifying a stochastic clock network with light entrainment for single cells of Neurospora crassa
Abstract Stochastic networks for the clock were identified by ensemble methods using genetic algorithms that captured the amplitude and period variation in single cell oscillators of Neurospora crassa. The genetic algorithms were at least an order of magnitude faster than ensemble methods using parallel tempering and appeared to provide a globally optimum solution from a random start in the initial guess of model parameters (i.e., rate constants and initial counts of molecules in a cell).

Noninvasive Imaging Post-ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Recent decades have witnessed a remarkable decline in the incidence and mortality of ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).1 In Western countries, improvements in acute care have seen in-hospital mortality from STEMI decrease dramatically from ?20% in the 1980s to ?5% in the present day.1,2 However, declining mortality engenders an increasing number of survivors with residual cardiac damage and its associated sequelae.
An overview and recent progress in the chemistry of uranium extraction from seawater
This review provides a brief background on the extraction of uranium from seawater as well as recent work by the United States Department of Energy on this project. The world's oceans contain uranium at 3 parts per billion, and despite this low concentration, there has been historical interest in harvesting it, mainly in Japan in the 1980s and the United States in this decade. Improvements in materials, chemistry, and deployment methods have all been made, with the ultimate goal of lower cost.

Organizers Cancel Gay8 Festival Over Scheduling Controversy | Local | News | SFGN Articles
Organizers of the two-year-old Gay8 celebration on Miami’s Calle Ocho on Tuesday cancelled the 2018 festival after city officials granted a permit to a competing event planned for the same date in January. The festival, founded by a group of community volunteers led by Damian Pardo and Joe Cardona, had been held during the three-day Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend in 2016 and 2017.
Repentance and Christian Discipleship
The Gospel begins with a call to repentance. Repentance means that everything must be changed. What was up must go down, and what was down must come up. Everything must be seen as God sees it. Our whole being has to be renewed; all thinking of our own has to cease. God must become the center of our thinking and feeling. People dislikeJohn the Baptist’s call, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,” because they do not understand what repentance means.
Discipleship
About The Book Sometimes sensitive, sometimes provocative, but always encouraging, Arnold guides readers toward leading Christlike lives amid the stress and strain of modern life. Perhaps the hardest thing about following Christ is translating our good intentions into deeds. Christ calls us, and we yearn to answer him, but time and again we lose resolve. Is discipleship really possible today? Many of the selections in this book offer answers to specific needs or problems.
T-Matrix and Radiative Transfer Hybrid Models for Densely Packed Particulates at Mid-Infrared Wavelengths
Mid-infrared spectroscopy is a useful tool for remotely sensing the composition of Earth and other planets. Quantitative mineralogical investigations are possible using remotely sensed data, however the difficulty in modeling complex interactions of light with particles that are on the order of the wavelength limits the usefulness of the remote sensing data.
LATE TERTIARY GEOMYOID RODENTS OF OREGON
The geomyoid rodents of the late Tertiary of Oregon are described and their relationships discussed. Most of the material involved is new. A new genus, Parapliosaccomys, is recognized and three new species, Parapliosaccomys oregonensis, Adjidaumo quartzi, and Pseudotheridomys pagei.
