Temporally Extending Existing Web Archive Collections for Longitudinal Analysis
The Environmental Governance and Data Initiative (EDGI) regularly crawled US federal environmental websites between 2016 and 2020 to capture changes between two presidential administrations. However, because it does not include the previous administration ending in 2008, the collection is unsuitable for answering our research question, Were the website terms deleted by the Trump administration (2017--2021) added by the Obama administration (2009--2017)?

Harder, shorter, sharper, forward: A comparison of women's and men's elite football gameplay (2020-2025)
Elite football is believed to have evolved in recent years, but systematic evidence for the pace and form of that change is sparse. Drawing on event-level records for 13,067 matches in ten top-tier men's and women's leagues in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the United States (2020-2025), we quantify match dynamics with two views: conventional performance statistics and pitch-passing networks that track ball movement among a grid of pitch (field) regions. Between 2020 and 2025, average pass…

A Demonstration of Interstellar Navigation Using New Horizons
As NASA's New Horizons spacecraft exits the Solar System bound for interstellar space, it has traveled so far that the nearest stars have shifted markedly from their positions seen from Earth. We demonstrated this by imaging the Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359 fields from Earth and New Horizons on 2020 April 23, when the spacecraft was 47.1 au distant. The observed parallaxes for Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359 are $32.4''$ and $15.7'',$ respectively. These measurements are not of research grade, b…

Climate impacts and monetary costs of healthy diets worldwide
About 2.8 billion people worldwide cannot afford the least expensive foods required for a healthy diet. Since 2020, the Cost and Affordability of a Healthy Diet (CoAHD) has been published for all countries by FAO and the World Bank and is widely used to guide social protection, agricultural, and public health and nutrition policies. Here, we measure how healthy diets could be obtained with the lowest possible greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in ways that could further inform food choice and poli…

Spectral evolution of GX 17+2 using AstroSat and NICER observations
We study the spectral evolution of the Z-track source GX 17+2 using AstroSat and NICER observations taken between 2016 and 2020. The AstroSat observations cover the period when the source is in the normal branch (NB) and the flaring branch (FB), while for the NICER ones the variability can be associated with the FB branch. The source spectra at different regions of the branches are well described by accretion disk emission, blackbody surface emission and a thermal Comptonization component. In t…

The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab seeks to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly, $a_μ=(g-2)/2$, with a final target precision of 0.14 parts-per-million (ppm). The experiment's initial result, published in 2021 using Run 1 data from 2018, confirmed the previous measurement at Brookhaven National Laboratory with a comparable sensitivity of 0.46 ppm. In 2023, a new result based on Run 2 and Run 3 data, collected in 2019 and 2020, was released. These datasets contain four times the data from…

We study fault-tolerant consensus in a variant of the synchronous message passing model, where, in each round, every node can choose to be awake or asleep. This is known as the sleeping model (Chatterjee, Gmyr, Pandurangan PODC 2020) and defines the awake complexity (also called \emph{energy complexity}), which measures the maximum number of rounds that any node is awake throughout the execution. Only awake nodes can send and receive messages in a given round and all messages sent to sleeping n…

Symmetry and symmetry breaking in interpolation inequalities for two-dimensional spinors -- Preliminary results
On the two-dimensional Euclidean space, we study a spinorial analogue of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality involving weighted gradient norms. This (SCKN) inequality is equivalent to a spinorial Gagliardo-Nirenberg type interpolation inequality on a cylinder as well as to an interpolation inequality involving Aharonov-Bohm magnetic fields, which was analyzed in a paper of 2020. We examine the symmetry properties of optimal functions by linearizing the associated functional around radial m…

In 2017, Vesti proposed the problem of determining the repetition threshold for infinite rich words, i.e., for infinite words in which all factors of length $n$ contain $n$ distinct nonempty palindromic factors. In 2020, Currie, Mol, and Rampersad proved a conjecture of Baranwal and Shallit that the repetition threshold for binary rich words is $2 + \sqrt{2}/2$. In this paper, we prove a structure theorem for $16/7$-power-free ternary rich words. Using the structure theorem, we deduce that the …

In [J. Wen, Y. Shi, Stat. Probab. Lett. 156 (2020) 108599] the authors first introduced a kind of anticipated backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (anticipated BSVIEs, for short).

For this, in this paper we deeply investigate a more general class of anticipated BSVIEs whose generator includes both pointwise time-advanced functions and…

Julia Doubleday on the gamble that covid would be harmless to children
"It’s worth noting that at the time Kulldorff and the rest of the GBD crew were proclaiming COVID’s harmlessness to kids, they couldn’t possibly have had enough information to determine the veracity of their own claims. Viruses like the chickenpox, EBV, HIV, HPV, and HSV often present with mild initial infections but may cause major damage years later. We now know COVID can as well.
"For so-called experts to run with an assumption that an initially mild-presenting acute infection would be long-term harmless was just that; an assumption. They were willing to gamble the health of a generation of children on a guess in order to go “back to normal” because that’s what the oligarchy clamored for. Because it costs money to shut the world economy down. Because people who mattered were angry. Because children aren’t people who matter."
