Jim Shooter, Editor Who ‘Saved the Comics Industry,’ Dies at 73
He brought order and profits to Marvel in the 1980s and helped establish the genre as a popular-culture tent pole for decades to come.

Da gibt es so viele schöne Gründe aus der Kirche auszutreten, aber nein, Christian Lange (SPD) wählt zu viel Nächstenliebe als Grund.¹ Konkret mißachte Kirchenasyl laut ihm rechtsstaatliche Entscheidungen.
Nur: der Staat ist gar nicht gezwungen, Menschen, die keinen Asyl- oder Flüchtlings­status haben, aus dem Land zu werfen. Er kann einfach beschließen, daß jemand bleiben kann. Macht er auch gelegentlich. Als damals 1978 die CSU Otto von Habsburg ins europäische Parlament schicken wol…

After decades in the U.S., Iranians arrested in Trump’s deportation drive
Mandonna “Donna” Kashanian lived in the United States for 47 years,
married a U.S. citizen and raised their daughter.
She was gardening in the yard of her New Orleans home when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers handcuffed and took her away, her family said.
Kashanian arrived in 1978 on a student visa and applied for asylum,

A non-local estimator for locally stationary Hawkes processes
We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a non-stationary Hawkes process with time-dependent reproduction rate and baseline intensity. Our approach relies on the standard maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), coinciding with the conventional approach for stationary point processes characterised by [Ogata, 1978]. In the fully parametric setting, we find that the MLE over a single observation of the process over $[0, T]$ remains consistent and asymptotically normal as $T \to \infty$.…

Will tropical dry forests survive the next 50 years?
In 1978, renowned ecologist Dan Janzen jumped into a ravine in Costa Rica, broke three ribs, and spent the first month of the rainy season watching the tropical dry forest from inside a shack. At night, a simple 25-watt bulb drew in so many moths that they plastered the walls like a live wallpaper. The […]

On nonlinear transitions, minimal seeds and exact solutions for the geodynamo
Nearly fifty years ago, Roberts (1978) postulated that Earth's magnetic field, which is generated by turbulent motions of liquid metal in its outer core, likely results from a subcritical (finite-amplitude) dynamo instability characterised by a dominant balance between Coriolis, pressure and Lorentz forces. Here we numerically explore subcritical convective dynamo action in a spherical shell, using techniques from optimal control and dynamical systems theory to uncover the nonlinear dynamics of…

When it was launched in 1978, it had quite a fresh modern look, especially compared with most other Eastern European cars of the time, although most of the under-the-skin bits were carried over from the older 125P, which FSO built under licence from Fiat. Endless updates and variations produced this blander look on later versions. #davidsdailycar #FSO #Weird…

P-CRE-DML: A Novel Approach for Causal Inference in Non-Linear Panel Data
This paper introduces a novel Proxy-Enhanced Correlated Random Effects Double Machine Learning (P-CRE-DML) framework to estimate causal effects in panel data with non-linearities and unobserved heterogeneity. Combining Double Machine Learning (DML, Chernozhukov et al., 2018), Correlated Random Effects (CRE, Mundlak, 1978), and lagged variables (Arellano & Bond, 1991) and innovating within the CRE-DML framework (Chernozhukov et al., 2022; Clarke & Polselli, 2025; Fuhr & Papies, 2024), we apply P…

Temperature Sensitivity of Residential Energy Demand on the Global Scale: A Bayesian Partial Pooling Model
This paper contributes to the limited literature on the temperature sensitivity of residential energy demand on a global scale. Using a Bayesian Partial Pooling model, we estimate country-specific intercepts and slopes, focusing on non-linear temperature response functions. The results, based on data for up to 126 countries spanning from 1978 to 2023, indicate a higher demand for residential electricity and natural gas at temperatures below -5 degrees Celsius and a higher demand for electricity…

Lempel-Ziv Complexity, Empirical Entropies, and Chain Rules
We derive upper and lower bounds on the overall compression ratio of the 1978 Lempel-Ziv (LZ78) algorithm, applied independently to $k$-blocks of a finite individual sequence. Both bounds are given in terms of normalized empirical entropies of the given sequence. For the bounds to be tight and meaningful, the order of the empirical entropy should be small relative to $k$ in the upper bound, but large relative to $k$ in the lower bound. Several non-trivial conclusions arise from these bounds. On…

On the passage times of self-similar Gaussian processes on curved boundaries
Let $T_{c,β}$ denote the smallest $t\ge1$ that a continuous, self-similar Gaussian process with self-similarity index $α>0$ moves at least $\pm c t^β$ units. We prove that: (i) If $β>α$, then $T_{c,β}=\infty$ with positive probability; (ii) If $β<α$ then $T_{c,β}$ has moments of all order; and (iii) If $β=α$ and $X$ is strongly locally nondeterministic in the sense of Pitt (1978), then there exists a continuous, strictly decreasing function $λ:(0\,,\infty)\to(0\,,\infty)$ such that …

On a conjecture of Faudree and Schelp
In 1976 Faudree and Schelp conjectured that in a hamiltonian-connected graph on $n$ vertices, any two distinct vertices are connected by a path of length $k$ for every $k \ge n/2$. In 1978 Thomassen constructed a (non-cubic and non-planar) family of counterexamples, showing that there exist hamiltonian-connected $n$-vertex graphs containing two vertices with no path of length $n-2$ between them. We complement this result by describing cubic planar counterexamples on $6p+16$ vertices, each conta…

Borrowing on Belief? Consumer Confidence and U.S. Credit -- A VECM Study
This study explores the interdependent relationship between consumer credit and consumer confidence in the United States using monthly data from January 1978 to August 2024. Utilizing a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), the analysis focuses on the interplay between household borrowing behaviour and consumer sentiment while controlling for macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, inflation, unemployment, and money supply. The results reveal a stable long-run equilibrium: heightened cons…
