Favorable modifications of Scrape-Off Layer (SOL) heat flux width through pulsed fuelling in ADITYA-U Tokamak
Enhancement of the scrape-off layer (SOL) heat flux width has been observed in the ADITYA-U Tokamak following the injection of short fuel gas pulses. A notable reduction in parallel heat flux near the last closed flux surface (LCFS) is observed after each pulse. Comparative analysis indicates that pulsed fuelling is more effective in mitigating heat flux with improved core confinement than continuous gas feeding via real-time density control. Analytical and simulation works are also carried out…

A judge has ruled that, for now,
asylum seekers are not required to pay an annual fee for each year their application is pending.
The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP.)
The so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, which became law on July 4, 2025,
instituted a new fee system for people in the immigration system,
including asylum seekers.
The legislation requires that they pay a $100 filing fee and an Annual A…

CRAN Task View: Optimization and Mathematical Programming
This CRAN Task View contains a list of packages that offer facilities for solving optimization problems. Although every regression model in statistics solves an optimization problem, they are not part of this view. If you are looking for regression methods, the following views will also contain useful starting points: MachineLearning, Econometrics, Robust Packages are categorized according to the following sections. See also the “Related Links” and “Other Resources” sections at the end.

Study warns climate leadership falling short in New Zealand
New Zealand leaders favor small, incremental changes in response to escalating climate impacts rather than the bold changes needed to make a real difference, according to research by University of Auckland academic Dr. Sasha Maher and Professor Brad Jackson (University of Waikato).

To Share, or Not to Share: A Study on GEO-LEO Systems for IoT Services with Random Access
The increasing number of satellite deployments, both in the low and geostationary Earth orbit exacerbates the already ongoing scarcity of wireless resources when targeting ubiquitous connectivity. For the aim of supporting a massive number of IoT devices characterized by bursty traffic and modern variants of random access, we pose the following question: Should competing satellite operators share spectrum resources or is an exclusive allocation preferable? This question is addressed by devising…

Neutron emission following nuclear muon capture on palladium isotopes
The energy spectra of the neutrons emitted following nuclear muon capture on palladium isotopes ($A=104$, 105, 106, 108, and 110) were measured using isotopically enriched target. \item[Method] The experiment was performed at the MuSIC-M1 beamline at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), Osaka University. The neutrons and $γ$ rays were detected with twenty-one liquid scintillators and BaF$_2$ detectors. The time-of-flight method was used to determine the neutron energy. \item[Results…

LEO: An Open-Source Platform for Linking OMERO with Lab Notebooks and Heterogeneous Metadata Sources
In the interdisciplinary field of microscopy research, managing and integrating large volumes of data stored across disparate platforms remains a major challenge. Data types such as bioimages, experimental records, and spectral information are often maintained in separate repositories, each following different management standards. However, linking these data sources across the research lifecycle is essential to align with the FAIR principles of data management: Findability, Accessibility, Inte…
