Both Harvard and Columbia are failing to articulate the need and meaning of education, besides economic value. There is no sense of humanity or the humanities or the search for a truths. Both schools are for-profit companies in the minds of their boards, and their presidents reflect that understanding.

Looking back at the #Laradock hashtag, I am starting to get the feeling that I am the only person trying to do this crap. 😒

Pairing symmetry and superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ thin films
The recent discovery of superconductivity with a transition temperature $T_c$ over 40 K in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ and (La,Pr)$_{3}$Ni$_2$O$_7$ thin films at ambient pressure marks an important step in the field of nickelate superconductors. Here, we perform a renormalized mean-field theory study of the superconductivity in $\mathrm{La_3Ni_2O_7}$ thin films, using a bilayer two-orbital $t-J$ model. Our result reveals an $s_\pm$-wave pairing symmetry driven by the strong interlayer superexchange coupl…

Distinct element-specific nanoscale magnetization dynamics following ultrafast laser excitation
Time-resolved ultrafast extreme ultraviolet (EUV) magnetic scattering is used to study laser-driven ultrafast magnetization dynamics of labyrinthine domains in a [Co/Ni/Pt] multilayer. Our measurements at the Co and Ni M-edges reveal distinct ultrafast distortions of the scattering pattern position and width for Ni compared to Co. Ni shows a strong modification of the scattering pattern, 9 to 41 times stronger than Co. As distortions of the labyrinthine pattern in reciprocal space relate to the…

Okay. So I've entered the true void and gone over to the dark side. Firefox, with all its faults and failings (at least on the Mozilla part), remains an advocate for FOSS. Testdriving it now. Even experimenting with Mistral, one of their AI offerings. Still have Yokoffing's user.js installed though.
Firefox still deserves our support.

Symbiotic star candidates in Gaia Data Release 3
Symbiotic stars, binary pairs with a cool giant fueling accretion onto a hot compact companion, offer unique insights to our understanding of stellar evolution. Yet, only a few hundred symbiotic stars are confirmed. Here, we report on a new search for symbiotic star candidates in Gaia Data Release 3 (GDR3), based entirely on the archive's astrometric, photometric, and spectroscopic information. To begin our search, we identified known symbiotic stars in GDR3 and assessed their absolute magnitud…

Inference for Error-Prone Count Data: Estimation under a Binomial Convolution Framework
Measurement error in count data is common but underexplored in the literature, particularly in contexts where observed scores are bounded and arise from discrete scoring processes. Motivated by applications in oral reading fluency assessment, we propose a binomial convolution framework that extends binary misclassification models to settings where only the aggregate number of correct responses is observed, and errors may involve both overcounting and undercounting the number of events. The mode…
