Wir brauchen Lokalzeitungen! Lokalzeitungen bilden ein Band, das die demokratische Gesellschaft zusammenhält. Sie haben einen Einfluss darauf, wie stark die AfD bei Wahlen abschneidet. Eine Erkenntnis, die gerade 2024 von allergrößter Wichtigkeit ist. Gerade im Osten gibt es nur noch wenige Lokalzeitungen, die die AfD kritisch beleuchten können. Für eine offene und liberale Demokratie sind freie Medien und insbesondere lokale Medien wie entscheidend - Maxim Flößer

There was a large, global surge in prices in 2021 and 2022 as the economy restarted following the COVID-19 pandemic.
That inflation surge left Joe Biden, like leaders in almost every major democracy, deeply unpopular. Biden, like his global peers, has yet to recover.
Is it possible that Biden’s standing can recover as the economy returns to health and the inflation surge recedes further into the past?
Sure.
But as every month goes by, that prospect gets a bit less …

The Impact of School and Family Networks on COVID-19 Infections Among Dutch Students: A Study Using Population-Level Registry Data
Understanding the impact of different social interactions is key to improving epidemic models. Here, we use extensive registry data -- including PCR test results and population-level networks -- to investigate the impact of school, family, and other social contacts on SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the Netherlands (June 2020--October 2021). We isolate and compare different contexts of potential SARS-CoV-2 transmission by matching pairs of students based on their attendance at the same or different …

The bright black hole X-ray binary 4U 1543-47 during 2021 outburst. A clear state transition from super-Eddington to sub-Eddington accretion revealed by Insight-HXMT
We present a detailed analysis of the observations with the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope of the black hole X-ray transient 4U~1543-47 during its outburst in 2021. We find a clear state transition during the outburst decay of the source. Using previous measurements of the black-hole mass and distance to the source, the source luminosity during this transition is close to the Eddington limit. The light curves before and after the transition can be fitted by two exponential functions with short…

At a first glance, PGCs store a distribution in a very different way, they compute the probability generating polynomial instead of the probability mass function and it seems that this is the main reason why PGCs are more powerful than PCs or DPPs. However, PGCs also allow for negative weig…

Improved Space Bounds for Subset Sum
More than 40 years ago, Schroeppel and Shamir presented an algorithm that solves the Subset Sum problem for $n$ integers in time $O^*(2^{0.5n})$ and space $O^*(2^{0.25n})$. The time upper bound remains unbeaten, but the space upper bound has been improved to $O^*(2^{0.249999n})$ in a recent breakthrough paper by Nederlof and Węgrzycki (STOC 2021). Their algorithm is a clever combination of a number of previously known techniques with a new reduction and a new algorithm for the Orthogonal Vecto…

PEARLS: NuSTAR and XMM-Newton Extragalactic Survey of the JWST North Ecliptic Pole Time-Domain Field II
We present the second NuSTAR and XMM-Newton extragalactic survey of the JWST North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Time-Domain Field (TDF). The first NuSTAR NEP-TDF survey (Zhao et al. 2021) had 681 ks total exposure time executed in NuSTAR cycle 5, in 2019 and 2020. This second survey, acquired from 2020 to 2022 in cycle 6, adds 880 ks of NuSTAR exposure time. The overall NuSTAR NEP-TDF survey is the most sensitive NuSTAR extragalactic survey to date, and a total of 60 sources were detected above the 95% …

Performance of a modular ton-scale pixel-readout liquid argon time projection chamber
The Module-0 Demonstrator is a single-phase 600 kg liquid argon time projection chamber operated as a prototype for the DUNE liquid argon near detector. Based on the ArgonCube design concept, Module-0 features a novel 80k-channel pixelated charge readout and advanced high-coverage photon detection system. In this paper, we present an analysis of an eight-day data set consisting of 25 million cosmic ray events collected in the spring of 2021. We use this sample to demonstrate the imaging perform…

Offshoring Emissions through Used Vehicle Exports
Policies to reduce transport emissions often overlook the international flow of used vehicles. We quantify the rate at which used vehicles generated CO2 and pollution for all used vehicles exported from Great Britain; a globally leading used vehicle exporter across 2005-2021. Destined for low-middle-income countries, exported vehicles fail roadworthiness standards and, even under extremely optimistic functioning as new assumptions, generate at least 13-53 percent more emissions than scrapped or…

Discrete slip plane analysis of ferrite microtensile tests: On the influence of dislocation source distribution and non-Schmid effects on slip system activity
The slip system activity in microtensile tests of ferrite single crystals is compared with predictions made by the discrete slip plane model proposed by Wijnen et al. (International Journal of Solids and Structures 228, 111094, 2021). This is an extension of conventional crystal plasticity in which the stochastics and physics of dislocation sources are taken into account in a discrete slip band. This results in discrete slip traces and non-deterministic mechanical behavior, similar to what is o…
