The Potential Danger to Satellites due to Ejecta from a 2032 Lunar Impact by Asteroid 2024 YR4
On 2032 December 22 the 60 m diameter asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 4% chance of impacting the Moon. Such an impact would release 6.5 MT TNT equivalent energy and produce a ~1 km diameter crater. We estimate that up to 10^8 kg of lunar material could be liberated in such an impact by exceeding lunar escape speed. Depending on the actual impact location on the Moon as much as 10% of this material may accrete to the Earth on timescales of a few days. The lunar ejecta-associated particle fluence at 0.1 …

when it comes to #psychology and #mentalhealth I've read a decent number of #books on the topic.
I think the best I've read are:
- David D. Burns' Feeling Good (CBT generally including anxiety, depression)
- Sue Johnson's Hold Me Tight (romantic/marital relationships)
- Peter Kramer's Against Depression (on why depression is not a creative gift or sign of moral incompetence, biological underpinnings)
Peter Rutter's Sex in the Forbidden Zone has also been instrumental in forming my understanding of the unhealthy ways romantic interest manifests.
Anne Wilson Schaef's Co-Dependence: Misunderstood--Mistreated is the best I've read explaining how "being good" can oftentimes actually be bad.
The latter two are both more things I extract from the books rather than the books themselves and both are couched in ways that make them not ideally suited to the topic...but still the best I've found.
In addition one might include Joel Fuhrman's Eat for Life (I'm reading it now, I originally read Eat to Live) for nutritional health (which affects psychological) and David Allen's Getting Things Done (still one of the most influential books I've read on productivity).
My #question is, are there books you've read that you'd considered "must reads" on psychological / mental health? Not just mental illness, but mental health?

On the origin of the E1 electron trap level in GaN and dilute AlxGa1-xN films
The results of high-resolution Laplace deep-level transient spectroscopy (L-DLTS) measurements applied to the E1 and FeGa electron traps in dilute AlxGa1-xN films (x = 0.063), grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on Ammono-GaN substrates, are presented. It is shown that the electron emission signals associated with the E1 donor and the FeGa acceptor levels split into individual components due to the aluminium fluctuations in the nearest neighbour shells around the E1 and FeGa defe…

Generalist Models in Medical Image Segmentation: A Survey and Performance Comparison with Task-Specific Approaches
Following the successful paradigm shift of large language models, leveraging pre-training on a massive corpus of data and fine-tuning on different downstream tasks, generalist models have made their foray into computer vision. The introduction of Segment Anything Model (SAM) set a milestone on segmentation of natural images, inspiring the design of a multitude of architectures for medical image segmentation. In this survey we offer a comprehensive and in-depth investigation on generalist models…

Failure of Bott vanishing for (co)adjoint partial flag varieties

Failure of Bott vanishing for (co)adjoint partial flag varieties
Bott vanishing is a strong vanishing result for the cohomology of exterior powers of the cotangent bundle twisted by ample line bundles. Buch-Thomsen-Lauritzen-Mehta conjectured that partial flag varieties (which are not products of projective spaces) do not satisfy Bott vanishing, despite all their other nice properties. The cominuscule case is an easy application of the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem, following results of Snow. We show that the (co)adjoint partial flag varieties of all classical and…

A Framework Leveraging Large Language Models for Autonomous UAV Control in Flying Networks
This paper proposes FLUC, a modular framework that integrates open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) autopilot systems to enable autonomous control in Flying Networks (FNs). FLUC translates high-level natural language commands into executable UAV mission code, bridging the gap between operator intent and UAV behaviour. FLUC is evaluated using three open-source LLMs - Qwen 2.5, Gemma 2, and LLaMA 3.2 - across scenarios involving code generation and mission …

On a nonlinear Schrödinger-Bopp-Podolsky system in the zero mass case: functional framework and existence
In this paper, we consider in $\mathbb{R}^3$ the following zero mass Schrödinger-Bopp-Podolsky system \[ \begin{cases} -Δu +q^2ϕu=|u|^{p-2}u\\ -Δϕ+a^2Δ^2ϕ=4πu^2 \end{cases} \] where $a>0$, $q\ne 0$ and $p\in (3,6)$. Inspired by [Ruiz, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 198 (2010)], we introduce a Sobolev space $\mathcal{E}$ endowed with a norm containing a nonlocal term. Firstly, we provide some fundamental properties for the space $\mathcal{E}$ including embeddings into Lebesgue space…

Attracting measures

Attracting measures
Under mild assumptions, the SRB measure $μ$ associated to an Axiom A attractor $A$ has the following properties: (i) the empirical measure starting at a typical point near $A$ converges weakly to $μ$; (ii) the pushforward of any Lebesgue-absolutely continuous probability measure supported near $A$ converges weakly to $μ$. In general, a measure with the first property is called a "physical measure", and physical measures are recognised as generally important in their own right. In this paper,…
