Substructural Abstract Syntax with Variable Binding and Single-Variable Substitution
We develop a unified categorical theory of substructural abstract syntax with variable binding and single-variable (capture-avoiding) substitution. This is done for the gamut of context structural rules given by exchange (linear theory) with weakening (affine theory) or with contraction (relevant theory) and with both (cartesian theory). Specifically, in all four scenarios, we uniformly: define abstract syntax with variable binding as free algebras for binding-signature endofunctors over variab…

From Bill McKibben
"Let me state it plainly: we are rushing into the most dangerous period in human history, and the Trump administration seems determined that we do it blindly. It’s inconceivably stupid, and it’s entirely real. And the planet doesn’t care: physics will not cut us any slack because we elected a moron."

Meanwhile, back in the real world
There's too much carbon in the atmosphere, so it's hot

Model-Guided Network with Cluster-Based Operators for Spatio-Spectral Super-Resolution
This paper addresses the problem of reconstructing a high-resolution hyperspectral image from a low-resolution multispectral observation. While spatial super-resolution and spectral super-resolution have been extensively studied, joint spatio-spectral super-resolution remains relatively explored. We propose an end-to-end model-driven framework that explicitly decomposes the joint spatio-spectral super-resolution problem into spatial super-resolution, spectral super-resolution and fusion tasks. …

Diversity of Cold Worlds: A Near Complete Spectral Energy Distribution for 2MASS J04151954-0935066 using JWST
We present the a near complete spectral energy distribution (SED) for an extrasolar world: the T8 brown dwarf 2MASS~J04151954$-$0935066. Spanning from optical to mid-infrared (0.7--20.4 micron) wavelengths, the SED for this substellar atmosphere is constructed from new JWST NIRSpec G395H ($R\sim$2700) and Magellan FIRE echelle ($R\sim$8000) near-infrared spectra, along with MIRI mid-infrared photometry complemented by spectra from Keck I, IRTF, Magellan, AKARI, Spitzer and photometry from vario…

What is practice?
Practice is like a keel—deep contact with the self helps you not be blown around by every wind. Attentively returning to yourself for a period of time every day can be like coming home.

An Advanced Cyber-Physical System Security Testbed for Substation Automation
A Cyber-Physical System (CPS) testbed serves as a powerful platform for testing and validating cyber intrusion detection and mitigation strategies in substations. This study presents the design and development of a CPS testbed that can effectively assess the real-time dynamics of a substation. Cyber attacks exploiting IEC 61850-based SV and GOOSE protocols are demonstrated using the testbed, along with an analysis on attack detection. Realistic timing measurements are obtained, and the time fra…

SSCard: Substring Cardinality Estimation using Suffix Tree-Guided Learned FM-Index
Accurate cardinality estimation of substring queries, which are commonly expressed using the SQL LIKE predicate, is crucial for query optimization in database systems. While both rule-based methods and machine learning-based methods have been developed to optimize various aspects of cardinality estimation, their absence of error bounds may result in substantial estimation errors, leading to suboptimal execution plans. In this paper, we propose SSCard, a novel SubString Cardinality estimator tha…

On the Tambara Affine Line
Tambara functors are the analogue of commutative rings in equivariant algebra. Nakaoka defined ideals in Tambara functors, leading to the definition of the Nakaoka spectrum of prime ideals in a Tambara functor. In this work, we continue the study of the Nakoaka spectra of Tambara functors. We describe, in terms of the Zariski spectra of ordinary commutative rings, the Nakaoka spectra of many Tambara functors. In particular: we identify the Nakaoka spectrum of the fixed point Tambara functor of …
