Lazy B-Trees
Lazy search trees (Sandlund & Wild FOCS 2020, Sandlund & Zhang SODA 2022) are sorted dictionaries whose update and query performance smoothly interpolates between that of efficient priority queues and binary search trees - automatically, depending on actual use; no adjustments are necessary to the data structure to realize the cost savings. In this paper, we design lazy B-trees, a variant of lazy search trees suitable for external memory that generalizes the speedup of B-trees over binary searc…

Yesterday Trump told us that his plan was to remove 21m people from the United States,
or 6% of our current population and at least 5% of our total current workforce.
“All of them have to go home.”
A few points about this insane post:
Best estimates are that the total undocumented population in the US is between 12m and 15m.
The figure that Trump and his regime keeps using
- 21m came in under Biden
- is made up and false.

Jury finds MyPillow founder defamed former employee for a leading voting equipment company
A federal jury in Colorado has found MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed a former employee for a leading voting equipment company. Jurors reached the verdict Monday for Lindell, one of the nation’s most prominent election conspiracy theorists. He had called the employee for Dominion Voting Systems, Eric Coomer, a traitor. Lindell’s online media platform also streamed an event where a conservative podcaster accused Coomer of helping rig the 2020 election. During the trial in Denver, Lindel…

My fair city of Roanoke attained “Bee City USA” status in 2022, which aims to “promote healthy, sustainable habitats for bees and other pollinators, responsible for the reproduction of nearly 90% of the world’s flowering plant species and one in every three bites of food we eat.”
Last night, a couple of garden clubs teamed up with the city to screen a new PBS Nature documentary, “My Garden of a Thousand Bees”.

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…

Metadata Enrichment of Long Text Documents using Large Language Models
In this project, we semantically enriched and enhanced the metadata of long text documents, theses and dissertations, retrieved from the HathiTrust Digital Library in English published from 1920 to 2020 through a combination of manual efforts and large language models. This dataset provides a valuable resource for advancing research in areas such as computational social science, digital humanities, and information science. Our paper shows that enriching metadata using LLMs is particularly benef…

Reconstruction in the Calderón problem on a fixed partition from finite and partial boundary data
This short note modifies a reconstruction method by the author (Comm. PDE, 45(9):1118--1133, 2020), for reconstructing piecewise constant conductivities in the Calderón problem (electrical impedance tomography). In the former paper, a layering assumption and the local Neumann-to-Dirichlet map was needed since the piecewise constant partitioning also was assumed unknown. Here I show how to modify the method in case the partitioning is known, for general piecewise constant conductivities and onl…

Maintaining a Bounded Degree Expander in Dynamic Peer-to-Peer Networks
We study the problem of maintaining robust and sparse overlay networks in fully distributed settings where nodes continuously join and leave the system. This scenario closely models real-world unstructured peer-to-peer networks, where maintaining a well-connected yet low-degree communication graph is crucial. We generalize a recent protocol by Becchetti et al. [SODA 2020] that relies on a simple randomized connection strategy to build an expander topology with high probability to a dynamic netw…

Excessive Screen Time is Associated with Mental Health Problems and ADHD in US Children and Adolescents: Physical Activity and Sleep as Parallel Mediators
To examine associations between screen time and anxiety, depression, behavior or conduct problems, and ADHD among children and adolescents during the pandemic, and to assess whether physical activity, sleep duration, and bedtime regularity mediate these associations. Data from 50231 US children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years in the 2020 to 2021 National Survey of Childrens Health were analyzed. Exact natural effect models and structural equation modeling assessed mediation by physical activ…

The shape of economics before and after the financial crisis
This paper investigates the impact of the global financial crisis on the shape of economics as a discipline by analyzing EconLit-indexed journals from 2006 to 2020 using a multilayer network approach. We consider two types of social relationships among journals, based on shared editors (interlocking editorship) and shared authors (interlocking authorship), as well as two forms of intellectual proximity, derived from bibliographic coupling and textual similarity. These four dimensions are integr…
