sp_high_school_new: High school dynamic contacts (2011-2012)
These datasets contain the temporal network of contacts between students in a high school in Marseilles, France. The first dataset gives the contacts of the students of three classes during 4 days in Dec. 2011, and the second corresponds to the contacts of the students of 5 classes during 7 days (from a Monday to the Tuesday of the following week) in Nov. 2012.
This network has 180 nodes and 45047 edges.

Towards Closing the Performance Gap for Cryptographic Kernels Between CPUs and Specialized Hardware
Specialized hardware like application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) remains the primary accelerator type for cryptographic kernels based on large integer arithmetic. Prior work has shown that commodity and server-class GPUs can achieve near-ASIC performance for these workloads. However, achieving comparable performance on CPUs remains an open challenge. This work investigates the following question: How can we narrow the performance gap between CPUs and specialized hardware for key crypt…

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.

Vision-driven River Following of UAV via Safe Reinforcement Learning using Semantic Dynamics Model
Vision-driven autonomous river following by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is critical for applications such as rescue, surveillance, and environmental monitoring, particularly in dense riverine environments where GPS signals are unreliable. We formalize river following as a coverage control problem in which the reward function is submodular, yielding diminishing returns as more unique river segments are visited, thereby framing the task as a Submodular Markov Decision Process. First, we introduce Ma…

From Clean Energy Review
In Edmonton’s Blatchford neighbourhood, a new “virtual power plant” is flipping the script on how communities use energy. Twenty (but soon-to-be 100) townhomes, each equipped with rooftop solar panels and energy storage, are not just powering themselves—they can feed the grid, manage peak demand, and even provide emergency backup when the lights go out. It’s a glimpse of what clean households could look like across Canada.

In March, Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker that he was “not joking” about considering a third term.
There are “methods” by which he could do so, he claimed,
one being if Vice President JD Vance was to win the presidency, then pass the baton to Trump.
In May, however, Trump declared to Welker that he will be “a two-term president”
—though he seemingly couldn’t help but add,
“There are ways of doing it.”
In August, he said he would “like to run” again but “pro…
