International Court of Justice says countries failing to tackle climate change risk breaking international law
The opinion of the International Court of Justice is seen by some as a turning point in international climate law, with judges finding that states affected by global warming could be eligible for reparations.

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,…

Lunar exosphere dynamics at the north pole following Perseid 2009 meteoroid impacts
Observations of the lunar exosphere provide valuable insights into dynamic processes affecting the Moon, such as meteoroid bombardment. The Chamberlain model was employed to estimate the zenith column density and temperature of Na atoms on August 13/14, 2009, after the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. Additionally, the column density and temperature of Na atoms delivered to the lunar exosphere by gradual processes during the peak on August 12/13, 2009, were estimated. Expected ratios of line-…

High temporal stability of niobium superconducting resonators by surface passivation with organophosphonate self-assembled monolayers
One main limiting factor towards achieving high coherence times in superconducting circuits is two level system (TLS) losses. Mitigating such losses requires controlling the formation of native oxides at the metal-air interface. Here, we report the growth of alkyl-phosphonate self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Nb thin films following oxide removal. The impact of passivation was evaluated via the performance of coplanar waveguide resonators at 10mK, in terms of quality factor and resonant frequ…

Bernhard Marsch verstorben - Film und Medien Stiftung NRW
Der Kölner Regisseur, Drehbuchautor, Filmproduzent und Schauspieler Bernhard Marsch ist überraschend bei einem tragischen Unfall im Alter von 63 Jahren verstorben.Der 1962 geborene Filmemacher war eine engagierte Persönlichkeit der Kölner Filmszene. 1990 gehörte Marsch zu den Gründungsmitgliedern des Filmclub 813, dessen langjähriger Vorsitzender er war. Der Filmclub wurde mehrfach mit dem Kinematheksverbundspreis ausgezeichnet und gilt als fester Bestandteil der Kölner Filmkultur.

Ich kann das zum Glück noch/wieder.

Cost for research -- how cost data of research can be included in open metadata to be reused and evaluated
The openCost project aims to enhance transparency in research funding by making publication-related costs publicly accessible, following FAIR principles. It introduces a metadata schema for cost data, allowing aggregation and analysis across institutions. The project promotes open access and cost-efficient models, benefiting academic institutions, funders, and policymakers.

Pointwise ergodic theorem along primes of the form $x^2 ny^2$

Pointwise ergodic theorem along primes of the form $x^2 + ny^2$
This paper resolves the question of pointwise convergence for ergodic averages of a single function along the set of polynomial values of primes of the form $x^2 + ny^2$. Following the influential paper of Bourgain \cite{bourgain1989pointwise}, we employ the Hardy-Littlewood circle method where major arc and minor arc estimates for the set of prime ideals constitute the main novelty of the paper. We also prove that our convergence results cannot be extended to class of $L^1$ functions.
