Hong Kong’s national security law has already crushed the territory’s once-vibrant civic and political life.
But now the city’s hard-line authorities are making the law even more repressive for anyone caught in its net.
Under updates which took effect this week,
the city’s chief executive can classify any case as a national security crime under the 2020 law,
even when the alleged offense was committed before that law took effect.
For good reasons, people cann…
July was the second warmest on record globally, tied with 2024, and just behind 2023.
The global average temperature for July 2026 was 16.90°C, 0.67°C above the 1991-2020 average for July and 1.47°C above the estimated pre-industrial average for the month.

The last resorts for unaffected forest in the word are constantly reduced. None of them is left in Europe. The last one was in Romania, but it disappeared by 2013.
The leading drivers of reduction changed from timber harvesting and agricultural expansion (2000 to 2013). Yet since 2020, fire has become the leading driver. Also the proportion of intact forest landscape reduction caused by mining, drilling and exploration has increased substantially.

Donald Trump is “inventing fraud”

pro-democracy experts have warned.
While the felon-president has used this playbook for years

– election integrity campaigners fear this time could be different.

Half a dozen years ago, Anthony Fauci was as popular as he would ever be.
A respected physician and researcher for decades, he became in 2020 the public face of the pandemic response
—calm, confident, and reassuring, a symbol of scientific authority.
And the country turned him into a folk hero.
He was on the cover of Time, named one of People magazine’s People of the Year, and played by Brad Pitt on Saturday Night Live.

DefoEye: Python-Based Software for Facilitating Time-Series InSAR Analysis of Sentinel-1 Remote-Sensing Data
Alireza Taheri Dehkordi, Hossein Hashemi, Amir Naghibi

Abstract: Many existing time-series Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (TS-InSAR) software tools have limitations, including restricted geographic applicability, commercial licensing, and incomplete end-to-end processing support. Although GMTSAR avoids some of these constraints, it still requires substantial manual intervention and C-shell commands, lacks a user-friendly graphical interface, and omits important steps such as interferogram network pruning and anchoring of unwrapped interferograms. This paper introduces DefoEye (v1), an open-source Python-based software package that wraps GMTSAR and provides a unified, user-friendly TS-InSAR workflow for Sentinel-1 data. DefoEye supports parallel job execution, interferogram network pruning, and multiple anchoring options. Its performance was evaluated from 2020 to 2024 in four regions with different geological settings, deformation mechanisms, and atmospheric and climatic conditions. In Bologna, Italy; Gotland, Sweden; and Houston, USA, DefoEye results were compared with observations from 10 GNSS stations and showed strong agreement, with RMSE values of 4.3-11.9 mm and Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.63-0.95. In Karaj, Iran, where GNSS observations were unavailable, DefoEye was compared with other widely used processing tools and achieved similarly close agreement, with an RMSE of 4.8 mm/yr and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.98. These results demonstrate that DefoEye provides reliable TS-InSAR products for geological, hydrological, and environmental applications.

Dirichlet symbols and the nonlinear wave equation

Abstract: We study the operator symbols of Dirichlet type introduced by Hedenmalm and Shimorin (2020), in connection with a given contraction on $L^2$ of the unit disk. They are always holomorphic functions on the bidisk. Such Dirichlet symbols associated with the Grunsky operator of a univalent function on the disk or exterior disk are of particular significance. From the work of Hedenmalm and Shimorin, we know they are characterized as solutions of a certain nonlinear wave equation. We perform a local analysis of such symbols near the diagonal on the bidisk, and in so doing, we provide alternative chart coordinates for the infinite-dimensional manifolds of univalent functions of the disk or the exterior disk. Those coordinates allow us to characterize $\log\psi'$ for $\psi$ in the class $\Sigma$ of normalized univalent functions without explicitly touching the univalence property. Moreover, those manifolds extend the universal Teichm\"uller space of Lipman Bers beyond the quasicircle boundary setting, allowing for more fractality. The fractality of harmonic measure for the domain associated with the given univalent function can be studied in terms of the asymptotic variance introduced by McMullen (2008). The asymptotic variance captures the $L^2$ average amplitude of the nonlinearity. We introduce the new concept of Schwarzian asymptotic variance, which measures the average amplitude of the Schwarzian derivative in place of the nonlinearity. For this new Schwarzian asymptotic variance, we find that the effectiveaverage amplitude of $(1-|z|^2)^2|\Sop(\vp)|^2$ on the disk in the hyperbolic metric sense is at most $72/5=14.4$, considerably smaller than the maximum amplitude of $36$. Here, $\Sop(\vp)$ is the Schwarzian derivative of $\varphi\in\mathscr{S}$, and the analogous statement is valid for $\psi\in\Sigma$ as well.

A synaptic map of the hemibrain connectome of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using EM reconstruction techniques. Neurons are labeled by their type. Edges are annotated by the connection strength between the neurons.

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 …
Burnam's suggestion that, should he be PM, he would spend most of his time outside of London will prompt the sort of questions about the separation of function and location that would normally only be prompted by wartime.
Resilience in the long term, with technical adaptation, but for the foreseeable it's a helicopter on permanent standby.

Wolfgang Porsche, the Austrian-German automotive magnate,
appears to have abandoned plans to build a private 500-metre tunnel for his cars through the Salzburg hills
after a public uproar over the “tunnel for one”.
In 2020, Porsche bought a storied 17th-century villa on the outskirts of Salzburg for €8.4m (£7.2m),
and last autumn he secured permission from the city authorities for an estimated €10m private access road through the rugged limestone hill.
