A population genetic interpretation of GWAS findings for human quantitative traits
Yuval B. Simons, Kevin Bullaughey, Richard R. Hudson +1
GWAS in humans are revealing the genetic architecture of biomedical and anthropomorphic traits, i.e., the frequencies and effect sizes of variants that contribute to heritable vari…
The deleterious mutation load is insensitive to recent population history
Yuval B. Simons, Michael C. Turchin, Jonathan K. Pritchard +1
Human populations have undergone dramatic changes in population size in the past 100,000 years, including a severe bottleneck of non-African populations and recent explosive popula…
Reentrance and Magnetic-Field-Induced Superconductivity with Kondo Impurities: Bulk and Proximity Systems
Yuval B. Simons, Ora Entin-Wohlman, Yuval Oreg +1
Reentrant behavior is known to exist and magnetic-field-induced superconductivity has been predicted in superconductors with Kondo impurities. We present a simple framework for und…
Emergence of stability in a stochastically driven pendulum: beyond the Kapitsa effect
Yuval B. Simons, Baruch Meerson
We consider a prototypical nonlinear system which can be stabilized by multiplicative noise: an underdamped non-linear pendulum with a stochastically vibrating pivot. A numerical s…
