The Northern Cross Fast Radio Burst project: V. Search for transient radio emission from Galactic magnetars
Context. The radio emission from magnetars is poorly understood and poorly characterized observationally, in particular for what concerns single pulses and sporadic events. The interest in it was boosted by the detection in 2020 of an extremely bright ms radio signal from the Galactic magnetar designated Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) SGR J1935+2154, which occurred almost simultaneously with a typical magnetar short burst of X-rays. As of now, this event remains the Galactic radio pulse that is the …

faculty_hiring_us: Faculty hiring networks in the US (2022)
Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …

psi: Plant Photosystem I excitation energy transfer network (2020)
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…

gcor: A Python Implementation of Categorical Gini Correlation and Its Inference
Categorical Gini Correlation (CGC), introduced by Dang et al. (2020), is a novel dependence measure designed to quantify the association between a numerical variable and a categorical variable. It has appealing properties compared to existing dependence measures, such as zero correlation mutually implying independence between the variables. It has also shown superior performance over existing methods when applied to feature screening for classification. This article presents a Python implementa…

Elementary Functions and NOT Following the IEEE 754 Floating-Point Standard — TRYING TO FIND THE OBVIOUS
The IEEE-754 Standard for floating-point numbers was introduced initially in 1985 to solve the problem of diverse floating point implementations prevent code being portable and increase stability across platforms. It has been widely adopted and revised over the last 30 years and if you have dealt

Hallo Presse: wieso fragt ihr die Regierung nicht danach, wie sie diese¹ Klimaziele erreichen will? Wo sind die Schlagzeilen? Wo ist der Skandal?
Und: redet mit euren Wissenschafts­redaktionen, verweist auf deren Artikel zu den Folgen. Wenn ihr Politik­journalismus wirksam betreiben wollt, müßt ihr darin fit sein, was die Wissenschaft sagt. Laßt euch nicht von Politikys verarschen.

Superluminal Quantum Reference Frames
While particles cannot travel faster than the speed of light, nor can information, this assumption has over the years been frequently questioned. Most recently, it has been argued [New J. Phys. 22, 033038 (2020)] that in a world with superluminal observers local determinism is impossible, linking the two pillars of physics-quantum theory and relativity-suggesting that the latter serves as the foundation for the former. Motivated by this approach, in this work, we extend the framework of quantum…

You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local
“Eat local” is a common recommendation to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet. How does the impact of what you eat compare to where it's come from?

pyCFS-data: Data Processing Framework in Python for openCFS
Many numerical simulation tools have been developed and are on the market, but there is still a strong need for appropriate tools capable of simulating multi-field problems, especially in aeroacoustics. Therefore, openCFS provides an open-source framework for implementing partial differential equations using the finite element method. Since 2000, the software has been developed continuously. The result is openCFS (before 2020, known as CFS++ Coupled Field Simulations written in C++). In this pa…

On the Spherical Dirichlet Distribution: Corrections and Results
This note corrects a technical error in Guardiola (2020, Journal of Statistical Distributions and Applications), presents updated derivations, and offers an extended discussion of the properties of the spherical Dirichlet distribution. Today, data mining and gene expressions are at the forefront of modern data analysis. Here we introduce a novel probability distribution that is applicable in these fields. This paper develops the proposed Spherical-Dirichlet Distribution designed to fit vectors …

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."
(GBD = Great Barrington Declaration, a bit of 2020 propaganda including the unfounded supposition that everyone who caught covid would be immune forever after)
Overall another excellent pointy article!

Least Squares Estimation For Hierarchical Data
The U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) bases its output on noisy measurements, which are population tabulations added to realizations of mean-zero random variables. These noisy measurements are observed for a set of hierarchical geographic units, e.g., the U.S. as a whole, states, counties, census tracts, and census blocks. The Census Bureau released the noisy measurements generated in the DAS executions for the two primary 2020 Census data products, in part to allow da…
