The Nevada Test Site (NTS) was the location for at least 100 above ground
Nuclear Weapons tests during the 1950's and early 1960's. Radioactive fallout
from these tests spread to many areas north and west of the NTS. According to
estimates from...

For a certain class of Z²-actions, we provide a proof of a
conjecture that the ratio of the Perron eigenvalues of the transfer
matrices of the free boundary restrictions converge to the entropy
of that action. Also, a novel method for computing...
