8 journalists given lengthy jail terms as Azerbaijan crushes free press - Committee to Protect Journalists
New York, June 23, 2025— Eight Azerbaijani journalists have received prison sentences ranging from 7 ½ to 15 years, as part of an ongoing series of media trials likely to obliterate independent reporting in the Caucasus nation. In a closed-door trial on Monday, columnist and peace activist Bahruz Samadov was sentenced by a court in...

High-Dimensional Spatial-Plus-Vertical Price Relationships and Price Transmission: A Machine Learning Approach
Price transmission has been studied extensively in agricultural economics through the lens of spatial and vertical price relationships. Classical time series econometric techniques suffer from the "curse of dimensionality" and are applied almost exclusively to small sets of price series, either prices of one commodity in a few regions or prices of a few commodities in one region. However, an agrifood supply chain usually contains several commodities (e.g., cattle and beef) and spans numerous re…

Collective communication in a transparent world: Phase transitions in a many-body Potts model and social-quantum duality
We consider the Schelling-like social competition reflected in "dynamics of opinions" among groups of agents ("communities") in a highly transparent world. Specifically, we investigate a $q$-state Potts spin system with competing two- and three-body interactions on a complete graph. Agents interact through pairwise repulsion (opposing opinions) between different communities and three-body attraction (shared opinions) within the same community. In the thermodynamic limit, we identify variants of…

On the capacity dimensions of the Brjuno and Perez-Marco sets
In this work, we prove that the complement of the Brjuno set $\mathcal{B}$ has a zero capacity with respect to the kernel $k^1_σ(z,ξ)=\ln^2{|z-ξ|}\left|\ln{\ln{\left(e+\frac{1}{|z-ξ|}\right)}}\right|^σ$ for any $σ> 2$. Similarly, the complement of the Perez-Marco set $\mathcal{PM}$ has a zero capacity with respect to the kernel $k^2_σ(z,ξ) = \ln^{2}{\ln\left(e+\frac{1} {\left| {z - ξ}\right|}\right)} \cdot\ln^σ{\ln\ln\left(e^3+\frac{1} {\left

Question-Answer Extraction from Scientific Articles Using Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models
When deciding to read an article or incorporate it into their research, scholars often seek to quickly identify and understand its main ideas. In this paper, we aim to extract these key concepts and contributions from scientific articles in the form of Question and Answer (QA) pairs. We propose two distinct approaches for generating QAs. The first approach involves selecting salient paragraphs, using a Large Language Model (LLM) to generate questions, ranking these questions by the likelihood o…

Flow-dependent tagging of $^{214}$Pb decays in the LZ dark matter detector
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is searching for dark matter interactions in a liquid xenon time projection chamber (LXe-TPC). This article demonstrates how control of the flow state in the LXe-TPC enables the identification of pairs of sequential alpha-decays, which are used to map fluid flow and ion drift in the liquid target. The resulting transport model is used to tag $^{214}$Pb beta-decays, a leading background to dark matter signals in LZ. Temporally evolving volume selections, at a cost …
