"In Al-Mughayyir, a village near Ramallah, more than 3,000 olive trees were bulldozed by Israeli forces, part of a broader pattern of destruction. Similarly, Deir Ballout has been targeted once again. It’s where, in 2021, Zaytoun customers helped plant 2,000 olive trees with the Palestine Fair Trade Association to replace those previously destroyed by Israeli forces."

Olive Harvest 2025: a season of hope, struggle, and solidarity - Zaytoun
As the olive harvest commences this month, the outlook is grim. A number of forces are converging in real time: a poor harvest, soaring local prices, and a fragile economy already on the brink, all dealing a harsh blow to farmers who are contending with so much.

Integrating Pathology and CT Imaging for Personalized Recurrence Risk Prediction in Renal Cancer
Recurrence risk estimation in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is essential for guiding postoperative surveillance and treatment. The Leibovich score remains widely used for stratifying distant recurrence risk but offers limited patient-level resolution and excludes imaging information. This study evaluates multimodal recurrence prediction by integrating preoperative computed tomography (CT) and postoperative histopathology whole-slide images (WSIs). A modular deep learning framework wit…

Evaluating New AI Cell Foundation Models on Challenging Kidney Pathology Cases Unaddressed by Previous Foundation Models
Accurate cell nuclei segmentation is critical for downstream tasks in kidney pathology and remains a major challenge due to the morphological diversity and imaging variability of renal tissues. While our prior work has evaluated early-generation AI cell foundation models in this domain, the effectiveness of recent cell foundation models remains unclear. In this study, we benchmark advanced AI cell foundation models (2025), including CellViT++ variants and Cellpose-SAM, against three widely used…

Stochastic Two-temperature Nonequilibrium Ising model
We investigate the nonequilibrium stationary state (NESS) of the two-dimensional Ising model under a stochastic dichotomous modulation of temperature, which alternates between $T_c \pm δ$ around the critical temperature $T_c$ at a rate $γ$. Both magnetization and energy exhibit non-monotonic dependence on $γ$, explained by a renewal approach in the slow-switching limit, while for small $δ$ dynamical response theory quantitatively captures the $γ$-dependence of the observables. In the fast-…

Data selection: at the interface of PDE-based inverse problem and randomized linear algebra

Data selection: at the interface of PDE-based inverse problem and randomized linear algebra
All inverse problems rely on data to recover unknown parameters, yet not all data are equally informative. This raises the central question of data selection. A distinctive challenge in PDE-based inverse problems is their inherently infinite-dimensional nature: both the parameter space and the design space are infinite, which greatly complicates the selection process. Somewhat unexpectedly, randomized numerical linear algebra (RNLA), originally developed in very different contexts, has provided…

Dadurch, dass die Unterstützung für die Länder des globalen Südens in erster Linie kreditfinanziert ist, werden über die Zinsen Unsummen aus den armen Ländern in die reichen transferiert, und das, wo genau diese Länder das Geld aktuell besonders gut brauchen können, um sich gegen die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels abzusichern – den auch wieder der globale Norden verursacht:

Catwalk: Unary Top-K for Efficient Ramp-No-Leak Neuron Design for Temporal Neural Networks
Temporal neural networks (TNNs) are neuromorphic neural networks that utilize bit-serial temporal coding. TNNs are composed of columns, which in turn employ neurons as their building blocks. Each neuron processes volleys of input spikes, modulated by associated synaptic weights, on its dendritic inputs. Recently proposed neuron implementation in CMOS employs a Spike Response Model (SRM) with a ramp-no-leak (RNL) response function and assumes all the inputs can carry spikes. However, in actual s…
