Texas Democrat accuses Abbott of ‘alliance with white nationalists’ over pardon
Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro (Texas) on Thursday accused Texas Gov.

Air pollution reductions caused by the COVID-19 lockdown open up a way to preserve the Himalayan glaciers
Abstract. The rapid melting of glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalayas (HKH) during recent decades poses an alarming threat to water security for larger parts of Asia. If this melting persists, the entirety of the Himalayan glaciers are estimated to disappear by end of the 21st century. Here, we assess the influence of the spring 2020 COVID-19 lockdown on the HKH, demonstrating the potential benefits of a strict emission reduction roadmap.

Dolphins to sign DL Neville Gallimore
Neville Gallimore is heading to Miami. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the defensive lineman is expected to sign with the Dolphins. Gallimore spent his entire four-year career in Dallas after being selected in the third round of the 2020 draft. Once rated the top Canadian draft prospect, Gallimore got an extended look on defense as a rookie, starting nine of his 14 appearances. After an elbow injury limited him to only five contests in 2021, the defensive lineman has mostly seen a ba…

Abstract: Timely monetary policy decision-making requires timely core inflation measures. We create a new core inflation series that is explicitly designed to succeed at that goal. Precisely, we introduce the Assemblage Regression, a generalized nonnegative ridge regression problem that optimizes the price index's subcomponent weights such that the aggregate is maximally predictive of future headline inflation. Ordering subcomponents according to their rank in each period switches the algorithm to be learning supervised trimmed inflation - or, put differently, the maximally forward-looking summary statistic of the realized price changes distribution. In an extensive out-of-sample forecasting experiment for the US and the euro area, we find substantial improvements for signaling medium-term inflation developments in both the pre- and post-Covid years. Those coming from the supervised trimmed version are particularly striking, and are attributable to a highly asymmetric trimming which contrasts with conventional indicators. We also find that this metric was indicating first upward pressures on inflation as early as mid-2020 and quickly captured the turning point in 2022. We also consider extensions, like assembling inflation from geographical regions, trimmed temporal aggregation, and building core measures specialized for either upside or downside inflation risks.

Former Raiders first-round pick defensive back recently arrested again
The Las Vegas Raiders have had their fair share of former players being arrested. Former first-round pick Damon Arnette has been arrested again, this time charged with possession of less than a gram of meth and unlawful carrying of a firearm. Arnette was arrested on Jan. 6 at 3:30 a.m. in Richardson, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The Raiders drafted Arnette in 2020 and cut him after one season. This is not the first or second time Arnette has been in trouble with the law.

There are only 2 options to explain Biden's complete lack of fucks given about getting anyone's votes:

On Uniqueness of a Solution to the Boundary Initial Value Problem
A first-order ordinary differential equation, solved with respect to derivative, is considered. It's right-hand side is defined and continuous on the set, consisting of a connected open subset of a two-dimensional Euclidean space and a part of its boundary. In the papers, dated by 2020, problems related to the existence or absence of the solution to the BIVP -- Initial Value Problem set at the boundary point -- were researched using different approaches. Such formulation of the Initial Value Pr…

On the sensitivity of computed partial charges toward basis set and (exchange-)correlation treatment
Partial charges are a central concept in general chemistry and chemical biology, yet dozens of different computational definitions exist. In prior work [M. Cho et al., \textit{ChemPhysChem} {\bf 21}, 688-696 (2020)], we showed that these can be reduced to at most three `principal components of ionicity'. The present study addressed the dependance on computed partial charges $q$ on 1-particle basis set and (for WFT methods) $n$-particle correlation treatment or (for DFT methods) exchange-correla…

Damon Arnette arrested in January on multiple charges including possession of meth, per report
Former Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Damon Arnette was arrested on Jan. 6 at 3:30 a.m. and charged with possession of less than a gram of meth and unlawful carrying of a firearm, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The arrest, which went unreported until Monday, occurred in Richardson, Texas. Arnette, 27, was a first-round pick of the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2020 NFL Draft. The former Ohio State standout was released by the Raiders in November 2021 after a video surfaced in which he brandished fir…

Modelling crypto markets by multi-agent reinforcement learning
Building on a previous foundation work (Lussange et al. 2020), this study introduces a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) model simulating crypto markets, which is calibrated to the Binance's daily closing prices of $153$ cryptocurrencies that were continuously traded between 2018 and 2022. Unlike previous agent-based models (ABM) or multi-agent systems (MAS) which relied on zero-intelligence agents or single autonomous agent methodologies, our approach relies on endowing agents with rei…

Hypertriton lifetime
Over the last decade, conflicting values of the hypertriton ${}_Λ^3\mathrm{H}$ lifetime $τ({}_Λ^3\mathrm{H})$ were extracted from relativistic heavy-ion (RHI) collision experiments, ranging from values compatible with the free-$Λ$ lifetime $τ_Λ$-as expected naively for a very weakly bound $Λ$ in ${}_Λ^3\mathrm{H}$-to lifetimes as short as $τ({}_Λ^3\mathrm{H}) \approx (0.4-0.7)\,τ_Λ$. In a recent work [Phys. Lett. B 811, 135916 (2020)] we studied this ${}_Λ^3\mathrm{H}$ lifetime puz…

Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…

Precision mass measurements at the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap pin down the mass surface across the neutron midshell at $N=66$
Precision mass measurements of $^{104}$Y, $^{106}$Zr, $^{104,104m,109}$Nb, and $^{111,112}$Mo have been performed with the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap mass spectrometer at the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line facility. The trend in two-neutron separation energies around the $N=66$ neutron midshell appeared to be steeper with respect to the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2020 extrapolations for the $_{39}$Y and $_{40}$Zr isotopic chains and less steep for the $_{41}$Nb chain, indicating a possible g…
