Nematic order on a deformable vesicle with anchoring effects (open access)

Nematic order on a deformable vesicle with anchoring effects

This article proposes a new model to represent a vesicle membrane with internal nematic order whose equilibrium states depend on the competition between the bending, elastic and anchoring energies.

COVID-19 and the gender gap in work hours

Article using panel data from the US Current Population Survey to examine changes in mothers’ and fathers’ work hours from February through April 2020, the period of time prior to the widespread COVID-19 outbreak in the United States and through its first peak. Using person-level fixed effects models, we find that mothers with young children have reduced their work hours four to five times more than fathers.
