Summer School "Stochastic modelling in the life sciences"

https://www.him.uni-bonn.de/programs/future-programs/future-junior-trimester-programs/stochastic-modelling-life-science/stochastic-modelling-life-science-school/

The application of mathematical modelling to the life science has allowed for a systematic analysis of various biological phenomena, which in turn has led to a greater understanding of several fundamental processes in biology, medicine, and evolution. This has also led to the development of new and powerful techniques within mathematics itself. A key issue is represented by the intrinsic role of stochasticity in biological phenomena.

This Summer School aims to bring together young mathematicians (PhD students, postdocs and junior faculty) interested in the application of mathematical techniques to the life sciences, particularly ones involving a stochastic component. The school will consist of three 5 hour courses focusing on coagulation and fragmentation for genealogical processes, spatial modelling, and diffusive limits for microscopic models, together with two shorter 3 hour mini-courses on statistical inference and duality.

Deadline: March 31, 2022.

The Survival of Ernst Ising and the Struggle to Solve His Model
Reinhard Folk

https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.13849

The life of Ernst Ising and the steps to solving the model named after him are reported in parallel. Wilhelm Lenz suggested his student Ernst Ising to explain the existence of ferromagnetism on the basis of his publication in 1920. The result, published in 1925 was disappointing, because only the one dimensional case could be solved with a negative result about the absence of ferromagnetism. Wolfgang Pauli who was an assistant of Lenz in Hamburg published in the same year his 'nonclassical ambiguity', later identified as the spin of the electron, and the exclusion principle. He was the first - at the Solvay Conference in 1930 - to present the Hamiltonian of the Ising model as we know it today.
Meanwhile Ising had left university research and due to the political situation in 1938 had to leave Germany and fled to Luxemburg. This went in hand with damaging the network of researchers dealing with the problem of ferromagnetism and more generally with phase transitions and statistical physics. In 1944, the year when Luxemburg was liberated by the American troops and Ising and his family was rescued, Lars Onsager presented a solution of the two-dimensional case. In 1952 Chen-Ning Yang solved the problem of Ising's thesis in two dimensions; one year later Ising became the US citizenship. The following development showed, that the model turned out to be a highway to modern physics concepts applicable also in other fields, although the final exact solution in three dimensions has not yet been reached.

I'm so happy to announce our paper out in @nature today!

We show that people who grew up in rural areas have better spatial navigation skills than those raised in cities, particularly for cities with grid-pattern streets.

انتروپی یکی از سهل ممتنع‌ترین مفاهیم فیزیکه. همه فکر می‌کنند که می‌دونند چیه و همه هم‌زمان درست نمی‌دونند که چیه! مسئله انتروپی و پیکان زمان هنوز جزو مسائل حل نشده در فیزیکه. قانون دوم ترمودینامیک ارتباط تنگاتنگی با این مفهوم داره و از قضا این قانون، جای پای خیلی محکمی توی فیزیک داره. برای همین انتظار می‌ره که بدونیم انتروپی چیه، نه؟!

Interdisciplinary #PhD position in Marseilles: "Emergence of shared conventions in non-human social networks", see http://cpt.univ-mrs.fr/~barrat/phd.html for details, deadline April 29

We are looking for a PhD candidate with a strong background in mathematical or physical sciences and an interest in cognitive science and animal behaviour to work on a project called "Emergence of shared conventions in non-human social networks" at Aix-Marseille University (France). The project is built on a collaboration between two researchers with complementary expertise, a specialist in evolutionary theory and adaptation (Nicolas Claidière) and a specialist in the theory, analysis and data-driven modelling of complex systems and networks (Alain Barrat).
