A Robust Method for Pitch Tracking in the Frequency Following Response using Harmonic Amplitude Summation Filterbank
The Frequency Following Response (FFR) reflects the brain's neural encoding of auditory stimuli including speech. Because the fundamental frequency (F0), a physical correlate of pitch, is one of the essential features of speech, there has been particular interest in characterizing the FFR at F0, especially when F0 varies over time. The standard method for extracting F0 in FFRs has been the Autocorrelation Function (ACF). This paper investigates harmonic-structure-based F0 estimation algorithms,…

Sittich-Strolch in Geestemünde: Polizei nimmt schrägen Vogel in Gewahrsam
Mit viel Freude und einem Sinn für leichte Prosa hat unser Kontaktpolizist aus Bremerhaven-Geestemünde einen Einsatzbericht verfasst, der zeigt: Polizeiarbeit macht Spaß – auch wenn man es bisweilen mit schrägen Vögeln zu tun hat.

Historic Tokyo Bridge Liberated from Concrete Overpass Will Shine Again Thanks to Grassroots Campaign
The Nihonbashi Bridge was considered the first reference node of the entire Japanese national road network at the time. 

Sonnet 141 - CXLI
In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who, in despite of view, is pleased to dote.
Nor are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted;
Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone,
Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited
To any sensual feast with thee alone:
But my five wits nor my five senses can
Dissuade one foo…

Shocked, I'm shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Turns out life doesn’t just imitate art
— sometimes it borrows the script, reboots it with National Guard checkpoints and streams it live from Los Angeles.
Case in point:
A Day Without a Mexican,
the cheeky 2004 sci-fi satire from Mexican filmmakers Sergio Arau and Yareli Arizmendi,
in which California wakes up to find every person of Latino descent has vanished into a mysterious haze,
leaving Angelenos panicking over who’s going to mow the lawns and run …

The Outrageous 20-Year-Old Movie That Predicted Trump’s America
In 2004 ‘A Day Without a Mexican’ was intended to be a political satire. In 2025 it seems all too real. Plus, Joel Grey auctions off his old lederhosen (and some nudes!) TikTok star Khaby Lame demands $1.2 million to talk, and Chet Hanks is a no-show at his book reading.

Der Terror und die #AfD: „Immer wenn eine radikale politische Richtung Rückenwind hat, dann entwickeln sich daran auch noch radikalere Flanken, die sich legitimiert fühlen, einen Schritt weiterzugehen.“

An improvement toward global boundedness in a fully parabolic chemotaxis with singular sensitivity in any dimension
We are concerned with the following chemotaxis system \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u_t = Δu -χ\nabla \cdot \left ( \frac{u}{v} \nabla v\right ), v_t = Δv -u+ v, \end{cases} \end{equation*} in an open bounded domain with smooth boundary $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with $n \geq 3$. It is known that solutions are globally bounded when $0<χ< \sqrt{ \frac{2}{n}}$. In this paper, by considering the following energy functional \begin{align*} F_λ(u,v)= \int_Ω\frac{u^p}{v^r} + λ\int_Ω\…

Role of non-thermal processes in the quiescent and active millimeter spectrum of a young M-dwarf
Millimeter (mm) emission from F - M dwarfs (cool stars) primarily traces chromospheric activity, with thermal emission thought to dominate in quiescence. Despite the high chromospheric activity, the quiescent mm spectral fluence (mm-S($ν$)) of young (< 1 Gyr) M dwarfs (dMs) remain largely unexplored. We present the quiescent mm-S($ν$) of a young dM, ADLeo, observed around 94 GHz using the Northern Extended Millimetre Array (NOEMA). The observed quiescent mm-S($ν$) exceeds the thermal flux de…
