Early April in GIFT

Quotes

• Nirupam Chakraborti (multivariate optimisation): "All the solutions along the Pareto front are non-dominating. However, they dominate all other solutions. Therefore, any solution along the Pareto front is optimal and you have to use another convenient criterion to pick a particular one."
• Ernst Kozeschnik (thermodynamics): "Your inclusion of the ab inito data into the CALPHAD form may be incorrect."
• Kim Dae Woo (texture): "the sample was not a cylinder"
• Eunjeong Kwon (visa): "Don't worry, your passport will arrive"
