The 2024 Richard Deswarte Prize in Digital History - Digital History Seminar
Richard Deswarte (1965-2021) was one of the founding convenors of the Digital History seminar at the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), University of London, an advocate for the value and importance of digital history,...

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that: "The manufacturing sector was responsible for 12% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. **About 75% of those emissions came from burning fuel to create heat**, and the rest were by-products of industrial processes that transform materials into products."
Note: Most low to moderate temperature heat demands could be satisfied with heat pumps rather than burning fuel.

Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the Manufacturing Sector
At a Glance When producing goods, the manufacturing sector emits carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that cause global warming, both by burning fossil fuels and through certain industrial processes.

Decoding the Pulse of Community during Disasters: Resilience Analysis Based on Fluctuations in Latent Lifestyle Signatures within Human Visitation Networks
Examining the impact of disasters on life activities of populations is critical for understanding community resilience dynamics, yet it remains insufficiently studied in the existing literature. In this study, we leveraged data from more than 1.2 million anonymized human mobility communications across 30 parishes in Louisiana to construct a temporal network that tracks visitation to places from which we characterized human lifestyle signatures before, during, and after Hurricane Ida in 2021.

Report: Cowboys interested in two former Pro Bowl RBs
The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly eyeing two veteran options to fill their running back void. One of them is quite the familiar face. The Cowboys are considering former Pro Bowlers Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook in free agency, according to Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken. Elliott is no stranger among Cowboys fans after having led the team in rushing yards from 2016 to 2021. He was usurped by Tony Pollard as the Cowboys’ top rusher in 2022. Pollard has since signed a long-term deal wi…

Ich hab absolut nichts für #Kretschmer übrig, aber wie sehr unterscheiden sich diese Floskeln von den typischen Wendungen in diplomatischer Korrespondenz? Ich mein, als vor Jahren die Briefe an diplomatische Vertretungen geleakt wurden, waren 50% der Inhalte Floskeln wie "die Bundesrepublik Deutschland möchte Sie unserer Hochachtung versichern"

Updated global fit of the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model with heavy scalars
An updated global fit on the parameter-space of the Aligned Two-Higgs-Doublet model has been performed with the help of the open-source package HEPfit, assuming the Standard-Model Higgs to be the lightest scalar. No new sources of CP violation, other than the phase in the CKM matrix of the Standard Model, have been considered. A similar global fit was previously performed in Ref. [JHEP 05 (2021) 005] with a slightly different set of parameters. Our updated fit incorporates improved analyses of …

Discrete slip plane analysis of ferrite microtensile tests: On the influence of dislocation source distribution and non-Schmid effects on slip system activity

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…

ACM MMSys 2024 Bandwidth Estimation in Real Time Communications Challenge
The quality of experience (QoE) delivered by video conferencing systems to end users depends in part on correctly estimating the capacity of the bottleneck link between the sender and the receiver over time. Bandwidth estimation for real-time communications (RTC) remains a significant challenge, primarily due to the continuously evolving heterogeneous network architectures and technologies. From the first bandwidth estimation challenge which was hosted at ACM MMSys 2021, we learnt that bandwidt…

Improved bounds on the interactive capacity via error pattern analysis
Any interactive protocol between a pair of parties can be reliably simulated in the presence of noise with a multiplicative overhead on the number of rounds (Schulman 1996). The reciprocal of the best (least) overhead is called the interactive capacity of the noisy channel. In this work, we present lower bounds on the interactive capacity of the binary erasure channel. Our lower bound improves the best known bound due to Ben-Yishai et al. 2021 by roughly a factor of 1.75. The improvement is d…

Probabilistic Generating Circuits -- Demystified

Probabilistic Generating Circuits -- Demystified
Zhang et al. (ICML 2021, PLMR 139, pp. 12447-1245) introduced probabilistic generating circuits (PGCs) as a probabilistic model to unify probabilistic circuits (PCs) and determinantal point processes (DPPs). 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…

Power Series Composition in Near-Linear Time
We present an algebraic algorithm that computes the composition of two power series in $\mathop{\tilde{\mathrm O}}(n)$ time complexity. The previous best algorithms are $\mathop{\mathrm O}(n^{1+o(1)})$ by Kedlaya and Umans (FOCS 2008) and an $\mathop{\mathrm O}(n^{1.43})$ algebraic algorithm by Neiger, Salvy, Schost and Villard (JACM 2023). Our algorithm builds upon the recent Graeffe iteration approach to manipulate rational power series introduced by Bostan and Mori (SOSA 2021).

Precise Mass Measurements of $A=133$ Isobars with the Canadian Penning Trap: Resolving the $Q_{β^-}$ anomaly at $^{133}$Te
We report precision mass measurements of $^{133}$Sb, $^{133g,m}$Te, and $^{133g,m}$I, produced at CARIBU at Argonne National Laboratory's ATLAS facility and measured using the Canadian Penning Trap mass spectrometer. These masses clarify an anomaly in the $^{133}$Te $β$-decay. The masses reported in the 2020 Atomic Mass Evaluation (M. Wang et al., 2021) produce $Q_{β^-}(^{133}$Te)=2920(6) keV; however, the highest-lying $^{133}$I level populated in this decay is observed at $E_i=2935.83(15)$ …

Rapidly rotating radiatively driven convection: experimental and numerical validation of the `geostrophic turbulence' scaling predictions
We experimentally and numerically characterize rapidly rotating radiatively driven thermal convection, beyond the sole heat transport measurements reported in Bouillaut et al. (2021). Based on a suite of direct numerical simulations (DNS) and additional processing of the experimental data collected by Bouillaut et al. (2021), we report the simultaneous validation of the scaling predictions of the `geostrophic turbulence' regime -- the diffusivity-free or `ultimate' regime of rapidly rotating co…
