Chicago Tribune offering newsroom buyouts
The newsroom's union, which ratified its first contract just seven months ago, said in a statement cutting staff as a "short-term profit boost" is unsustainable. It was not immediately known how many positions the company was looking to cut or what dollar amount it's trying to save.

Dynamic Grid Trading Strategy: From Zero Expectation to Market Outperformance
We propose a profitable trading strategy for the cryptocurrency market based on grid trading. Starting with an analysis of the expected value of the traditional grid strategy, we show that under simple assumptions, its expected return is essentially zero. We then introduce a novel Dynamic Grid-based Trading (DGT) strategy that adapts to market conditions by dynamically resetting grid positions. Our backtesting results using minute-level data from Bitcoin and Ethereum between January 2021 and Ju…

Robustness of Floquet topological phase at room temperature: a first-principles dynamics study
Nonadiabatic Thouless pumping of electrons is studied within the framework of topological Floquet engineering, particularly focused on how atomic lattice dynamics affect the emergent Floquet topological phase in trans-polyacetylene under the driving electric field. As similarly done in the earlier work [Zhou and Kanai, J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 12, 4496 (2021)], the real-time time-dependent density functional theory and Ehrenfest dynamics simulations were used to investigate the extent to which the…

Decadal sink-source shifts of forest aboveground carbon since 1988

Decadal sink-source shifts of forest aboveground carbon since 1988
As enduring carbon sinks, forest ecosystems are vital to the terrestrial carbon cycle and help moderate global warming. However, the long-term dynamics of aboveground carbon (AGC) in forests and their sink-source transitions remain highly uncertain, owing to changing disturbance regimes and inconsistencies in observations, data processing, and analysis methods. Here, we derive reliable, harmonized AGC stocks and fluxes in global forests from 1988 to 2021 at high spatial resolution by integratin…

Data-Driven Modeling of IRCU Patient Flow in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Intermediate Respiratory Care Units (IRCUs) are vital during crises like COVID-19. This study evaluated clinical outcomes and operational dynamics of a new Spanish IRCU with specialized staffing. A prospective cohort study (April-August 2021) included 249 adult patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure (UHVN IRCU, Granada). Data on demographics, Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV), length of stay (LOS), and outcomes (ICU transfer, exitus, recovery) were analyzed. Patient flow was simulated using a …

"TikTok, Do Your Thing": User Reactions to Social Surveillance in the Public Sphere
'TikTok, Do Your Thing'' is a viral trend where users attempt to identify strangers they see in public via information crowd-sourcing. The trend started as early as 2021 and users typically engage with it for romantic purposes (similar to a ''Missed Connections'' personal advertisement). This practice includes acts of surveillance and identification in the public sphere, although by peers rather than governments or corporations. To understand users' reactions to this trend we conducted a quali�…

Good Morning #Canada
#HappyBirthday to Robert Norman Munsch, born June 11, 1945, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but thankfully, he became a Canadian citizen in 1983. He has published more than 60 books in 30 languages and is a Member of the Order of Canada and Canada’s Walk of Fame. Health issues have ended his writing and public appearances, and in 2021, he was diagnosed with dementia. But his stories continue to speak to children.

Detecting Narrative Shifts through Persistent Structures: A Topological Analysis of Media Discourse
How can we detect when global events fundamentally reshape public discourse? This study introduces a topological framework for identifying structural change in media narratives using persistent homology. Drawing on international news articles surrounding major events - including the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Feb 2022), the murder of George Floyd (May 2020), the U.S. Capitol insurrection (Jan 2021), and the Hamas-led invasion of Israel (Oct 2023) - we construct daily co-occurrence graphs of n…

Modeling Star Formation Histories of Changing-Look AGN Host Galaxies with Prospector
Changing-look active galactic nuclei, or CL-AGN, are AGN which appear to transition between Seyfert Type 1 and 2 over periods of months to years. Several mechanisms to trigger these transitions have been proposed, but we have yet to conclusively determine their cause. Recent studies suggest CL-AGN are hosted primarily in galaxies which are shutting down star formation (Dodd et al. 2021; Liu et al. 2021, Wang et al. 2023), which may indicate a link between galaxy quenching and changing look even…

Fast Learning of Optimal Policy Trees
We develop and implement a version of the popular "policytree" method (Athey and Wager, 2021) using discrete optimisation techniques. We test the performance of our algorithm in finite samples and find an improvement in the runtime of optimal policy tree learning by a factor of nearly 50 compared to the original version. We provide an R package, "fastpolicytree", for public use.
