CRAFT: Latency and Cost-Aware Genetic-Based Framework for Node Placement in Edge-Fog Environments
Reducing latency in the Internet of Things (IoT) is a critical concern. While cloud computing facilitates communication, it falls short of meeting real-time requirements reliably. Edge and fog computing have emerged as viable solutions by positioning computing nodes closer to end users, offering lower latency and increased processing power. An edge-fog framework comprises various components, including edge and fog nodes, whose strategic placement is crucial as it directly impacts latency and sy…

Edge-coloring $K_{n, n}$ with no 2-colored $C_{2k}$
The generalized Ramsey number $r(G, H, q)$ is the minimum number of colors needed to color the edges of $G$ such that every isomorphic copy of $H$ has at least $q$ colors. In this note, we improve the upper and lower bounds on $r(K_{n, n}, C_{2k}, 3)$. Our upper bound answers a question of Lane and Morrison. For $k=3$ we obtain the asymptotically sharp estimate $r(K_{n, n}, C_6, 3) = \frac{7}{20} n + o(n)$.

Enhance Stability of Network by Edge Anchor
With the rapid growth of online social networks, strengthening their stability has emerged as a key research focus. This study aims to identify influential relationships that significantly impact community stability. In this paper, we introduce and explore the anchor trussness reinforcement problem to reinforce the overall user engagement of networks by anchoring some edges. Specifically, for a given graph $G$ and a budget $b$, we aim to identify $b$ edges whose anchoring maximizes the trussnes…

Is This Just Fantasy? Language Model Representations Reflect Human Judgments of Event Plausibility
Language models (LMs) are used for a diverse range of tasks, from question answering to writing fantastical stories. In order to reliably accomplish these tasks, LMs must be able to discern the modal category of a sentence (i.e., whether it describes something that is possible, impossible, completely nonsensical, etc.). However, recent studies have called into question the ability of LMs to categorize sentences according to modality (Michaelov et al., 2025; Kauf et al., 2023). In this work, we …

qa_user: User interactions on Q&A websites (2016)
Networks of interactions among users from four online Q&A sites: Stack Overflow, Math Overflow, Super User, and Ask Ubuntu. A directed edge (i,j) indicates a user i responded to user j's post. Edges are timestamped. For each Q&A site, four differently defined networks are provided, based on the definition of an edge: (i) a user answered a question, (ii) a user commented on a question, (iii) a user commented on an answer…

Entbindungsklinik in Charkiw bei russischen Angriffen getroffen
Bei russischen Angriffen auf die ostukrainische Großstadt Charkiw sind Behörden zufolge in der Nacht neun Menschen verletzt worden. "Unter den Verletzten sind auch Frauen in einer Entbindungsstation", schrieb der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj bei Telegram. Glücklicherweise seien zumindest keine Kinder bei diesem Angriff verletzt worden. Selenskyj warf…

Half-integer thermal conductance in the absence of Majorana mode
Considering a range of candidate quantum phases of matter, half-integer thermal conductance ($κ_{\text{th}}$) is believed to be an unambiguous evidence of non-Abelian states. It has been long known that such half-integer values arise due to the presence of Majorana edge modes, representing a significant step towards topological quantum computing platforms. Here we break this long-standing paradigm, reporting a comprehensive theoretical and experimental study where half-integer two-terminal the…

Hellsichtiger Kommentar in der #Sueddeutschen:
"Dann passiert es, dass eine Kandidatin aufgestellt wird, ohne dass sich Partei oder Fraktion darauf vorbereitet haben, wie so etwas heute läuft: mit Übertreibungen, persönlichen Angriffen und Zuspitzungen aus der digitalen Requisite. Überraschend war nichts daran [...] Man muss eben beizeiten Vorbereitungen treffen"
