REAL ENEMIES is an evening-length, multimedia, jazz-fueled exploration of American paranoia. This innovative marriage of music-theater and hybrid nonfiction marks the first collaboration between composer Darcy James Argue, filmmaker Peter Nigrini and writer Isaac Butler, who together chronicle a shadow history of post-war America that may—or may not—be true.

Regular Lagrangians in Lefschetz fibrations
We characterize regularity of Lagrangian submanifolds in Weinstein Lefschetz fibrations, establishing a conjecture of Giroux and Pardon. Our main result is the Weinstein analogue of a closed symplectic Lefschetz pencil result of Auroux, Muñoz, and Presas. As an application, given a Legendrian link in tight $S^3$ and an exact filling which is part of an arboreal skeleton for the $4$-ball, we build a Lefschetz fibration such that the image of the filling and all of its mutations are arcs in the …

Towards High-Efficiency Particle Detection Using Superconducting Microwire Arrays
We present a detailed study of an 8-channel $1\times1$ mm$^{2}$ WSi superconducting microwire single photon detector (SMSPD) array exposed to 120 GeV hadron beam and 120 GeV muon beam at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron H6 beamline. Following up on our first detailed characterization of the efficiency and response of an SMSPD fabricated on a 3 nm WSi film, we report measurements of enhanced particle detection efficiency using a sensor fabricated from a thicker 4.7nm-thick WSi film. We also rep…

Sunspot Observations in 1684-1702: John Flamsteed and Philippe de La Hire
In this work, we present an extensive review and detailed analysis of sunspot measurements, drawings, and engravings made by John Flamsteed and, mainly, by Philippe de La Hire during the Maunder minimum. All available information and contemporary knowledge about the sunspot nature are shown. The coordinates, areas, and numbers of sunspots and sunspot groups are reconstructed. Based on these observations, La Hire, Jean-Dominique Cassini, and his son Jacques Cassini regularly published results th…

A Goal-Oriented Approach for Active Object Detection with Exploration-Exploitation Balance
Active object detection, which aims to identify objects of interest through controlled camera movements, plays a pivotal role in real-world visual perception for autonomous robotic applications, such as manufacturing tasks (e.g., assembly operations) performed in unknown environments. A dual control for exploration and exploitation (DCEE) algorithm is presented within goal-oriented control systems to achieve efficient active object detection, leveraging active learning by incorporating variance…
