D4 is a mess because of incoherent alliances.
Engardio won by courting both urbanists (who skew progressive) and conservatives (who are car-brained). Now conservatives feel betrayed because he backed car-free space, while progressive urbanists who like car-free spaces still aren't wild about *him*.
Thus, he's likely toast in the recall. 1/

Recalls now ‘a thing we live with,’ political insiders say at Mission Local event
The insiders said Engardio is in big trouble. They added that new money, especially from tech, fueling city politics is behind recent recalls.

SparkUI-Parser: Enhancing GUI Perception with Robust Grounding and Parsing
The existing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) for GUI perception have made great progress. However, the following challenges still exist in prior methods: 1) They model discrete coordinates based on text autoregressive mechanism, which results in lower grounding accuracy and slower inference speed. 2) They can only locate predefined sets of elements and are not capable of parsing the entire interface, which hampers the broad application and support for downstream tasks. To address the a…

Well, that's the end of a very long era. Not that I could use it if I wanted to as my land line is long gone.

A Computational Framework for Interpretable Text-Based Personality Assessment from Social Media
Personality refers to individual differences in behavior, thinking, and feeling. With the growing availability of digital footprints, especially from social media, automated methods for personality assessment have become increasingly important. Natural language processing (NLP) enables the analysis of unstructured text data to identify personality indicators. However, two main challenges remain central to this thesis: the scarcity of large, personality-labeled datasets and the disconnect betwee…

Clinical test cases for model-based dose calculation algorithm commissioning, QA and benchmarking, for 192Ir HDR brachytherapy of gynecologic cancers
Purpose: To develop clinically relevant test cases for commissioning Model-Based Dose Calculation Algorithms (MBDCAs) for 192Ir High Dose Rate (HDR) gynecologic brachytherapy following the workflow proposed by the TG-186 report and the WGDCAB report 372. Acquisition and Validation Methods: Two cervical cancer intracavitary HDR brachytherapy patient models were created, using either uniformly structured regions or realistic segmentation. The computed tomography (CT) images of the models were con…

Oh, why aren't you a cat person? I'll tell you: my brother was attacked, bitten and scratched on both hands this week by a feral cat in his kitchen and had to go for surgery to get the infected parts out. And he did all this to protect his own cat. I'll be watching those 'cute' cat videos with a different kind of feeling. I've heard they taste similar to rabbits.

Asymptotic behaviour and existence of positive solutions for mixed local nonlocal elliptic equations with Hardy potential
We investigate the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions to the following problem driven by the superposition of the Laplacian and the fractional Laplacian with Hardy potential \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} -Δu + (-Δ)^s u - μ\frac{u}{|x|^2} &= λ|u|^{p-2} u + |u|^{2^*-2} u \quad \text{in } Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N, u &= 0 \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^N \setminus Ω, \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation*} where $ Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N $ is…
