Cycling on the Freeway: The Perilous State of Open Source Neuroscience Software
Most scientists need software to perform their research (Barker et al., 2020; Carver et al., 2022; Hettrick, 2014; Hettrick et al., 2014; Switters and Osimo, 2019), and neuroscientists are no exception. Whether we work with reaction times, electrophysiological signals, or magnetic resonance imaging data, we rely on software to acquire, analyze, and statistically evaluate the raw data we obtain - or to generate such data if we work with simulations. In recent years there has been a shift toward …

Rightwing activists ramp up drive to hand-count ballots
If more localities decide to try hand-counting in the November election, results could be inaccurate, untrustworthy or delayed, fostering more distrust in elections.
In places that opt not to hand-count, supporters of the practice could use this choice as a reason to question or refuse to sign off on certification.
Either way, it raises the risk of throwing the 2024 election into chaos.

A Review of Virtual Reality Studies on Autonomous Vehicle--Pedestrian Interaction
An increasing number of studies employ virtual reality (VR) to evaluate interactions between autonomous vehicles (AVs) and pedestrians. VR simulators are valued for their cost-effectiveness, flexibility in developing various traffic scenarios, safe conduct of user studies, and acceptable ecological validity. Reviewing the literature between 2010 and 2020, we found 31 empirical studies using VR as a testing apparatus for both implicit and explicit communication. By performing a systematic analys…

"Laut einer Studie von 2020 sind Frauen in Schweizer Medienberichten deutlich jünger als Männer. Am häufigsten sind sie zwischen 35 und 49 Jahre alt, während die meisten Männer zwischen 50 und 64 Jahre alt sind. Es wird dreimal so oft über 65- bis 79-jährige Männer als über gleichaltrige Frauen berichtet."

Dynamical formation of Gaia BH3 in the progenitor globular cluster of the ED-2 stream
Context. The star-black hole (S-BH) binary discovered by the Gaia Collaboration - Gaia BH3 - is chemically and kinematically associated with the metal-poor ED-2 stream in the Milky Way halo. Aims. We explore the possibility that Gaia BH3 was assembled dynamically in the progenitor globular cluster (GC) of the ED-2 stream. Methods. We use a public suite of star-by-star dynamical Monte Carlo models by Kremer et al. (2020) to identify S-BH binaries in GCs with different initial masses and (hal…

$\operatorname{SL}(n)$ contravariant function-valued valuations on polytopes
We present a complete classification of $\operatorname{SL}(n)$ contravariant, $C(\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{o\})$-valued valuations on polytopes, without any additional assumptions.It extends the previous results of the second author [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2020] which have a good connection with the $L_p$ and Orlicz Brunn-Minkowski theory. Additionally, our results deduce a complete classification of $\operatorname{SL}(n)$ contravariant symmetric-tensor-valued valuations on polytopes.

An improvement and generalization of Rotfel'd type inequalities for sectorial matrices
Byusing equivalence conditions for sectorial matrices obtained by Alakhrass and Sababheh in 2020, we improve a Rotfel'd type inequality for sectorial matrices derived by P. Zhang in 2015 and generalize a result derived by Y. Mao et al. in 2024.

Second gadolinium loading to Super-Kamiokande
The first loading of gadolinium (Gd) into Super-Kamiokande in 2020 was successful, and the neutron capture efficiency on Gd reached 50\%. To further increase the Gd neutron capture efficiency to 75\%, 26.1 tons of $\rm Gd_2(\rm SO_4)_3\cdot \rm 8H_2O$ was additionally loaded into Super-Kamiokande (SK) from May 31 to July 4, 2022. As the amount of loaded $\rm Gd_2(\rm SO_4)_3\cdot \rm 8H_2O$ was doubled compared to the first loading, the capacity of the powder dissolving system was doubled. We a…
