Importe aus Russland massiv gesunken
Deutschland hat im vergangenen Jahr fast 95 Prozent weniger Waren aus Russland importiert als vor dem Ukraine-Krieg. 2024 wurden Waren im Wert von 1,8 Milliarden Euro aus Russland eingeführt, wie das Statistische Bundesamt mitteilte.
Vor den bisher 17 Sanktionspaketen der EU gegen Russland beliefen sich die Importe 2021 - dem Jahr vor dem Überfall Russlands auf die Ukraine - noch auf 33,1…

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Ukraine erhält Leichname von Gefallenen ++
Die Ukraine hat die sterblichen Überreste von mehr als 1.200 getöteten Soldaten erhalten. Russland meldet einen Vorstoß im Westen der ukrainischen Region Donezk.

New lab acquisition: MinusK 50BM-4 passive vibration isolator.
Going to have to get a more permanent weight to balance it right (there's currently a random steel chisel under the microscope in one corner and a CPU heatsink on top) but it's a huge improvement over the random aluminum plate with sorbothane feet.
Huge improvement in stability. The biggest problem is that changing objectives is now a two hand job, the microscope is floated so well that if i grab the turret th…

LLM-Powered CPI Prediction Inference with Online Text Time Series
Forecasting the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an important yet challenging task in economics, where most existing approaches rely on low-frequency, survey-based data. With the recent advances of large language models (LLMs), there is growing potential to leverage high-frequency online text data for improved CPI prediction, an area still largely unexplored. This paper proposes LLM-CPI, an LLM-based approach for CPI prediction inference incorporating online text time series. We collect a large se…

Quantitative Indices for Improving Metro Load Curve, Using Distributed Generation
This paper promises the idea of using DG (Distributed Generation) to improve the Metro load curve. Public transportation systems are often based on gasoline and diesel. However, with the gradual development in usage of the Metro and monorail, a new load with heavy demand, inappropriate load curve and middle LF (Load factor) is added to the electricity grid. In addition to supply problem of this massive consumer, the Metro load curve is another problem, which has a relatively low LF. Furthermore…

Understanding and Improving Data Repurposing
We live in an age of unprecedented opportunities to use existing data for tasks not anticipated when those data were collected, resulting in widespread data repurposing. This commentary defines and maps the scope of data repurposing to highlight its importance for organizations and society and the need to study data repurposing as a frontier of data management. We explain how repurposing differs from original data use and data reuse and then develop a framework for data repurposing consisting o…

The VMC Survey -- LIV. Anomalous Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds Period-Luminosity relations in the near-infrared bands
Anomalous Cepheids (ACs) are less studied metal-poor pulsating stars ([Fe/H]<-1.5) compared to Classical Cepheids (CCs) and RR Lyrae stars. They follow distinct Period-Luminosity (PL) and Period-Wesenheit (PW) relations and pulsate in either the fundamental (F) or first overtone (1O) mode. Our goal is to assess the precision and accuracy of AC-based distances and evaluate their potential for establishing an independent distance scale. We derive new PL and PW relations for F-mode, 1O-mode, and, …

Comba: Improving Nonlinear RNNs with Closed-loop Control
Recent efficient sequence modeling methods such as Gated DeltaNet, TTT, and RWKV-7 have achieved performance improvements by supervising the recurrent memory management through Delta learning rule. Unlike previous state-space models (e.g., Mamba) and gated linear attentions (e.g., GLA), these models introduce interactions between the recurrent state and the key vector, resulting in a nonlinear recursive structure. In this paper, we first introduce the concept of Nonlinear RNNs with a comprehens…
