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…

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.

Relativistic compact stars coupled with dark energy in Heintzmann spacetime
The literature suggests that dark energy is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe due to its negative pressure, therefore, dark energy can be used as a possible option to prevent the gravitational collapse of compact objects into singularities. In this regard, there is a great possibility that dark energy can interact with the compact stellar matter configuration [Phys. Rev. D 103, 084042 (2021)]. In this article, we introduce a physically viable model for celestial compact…

Finite $s$-geodesic transitive graphs under certain girths
For an integer $s\geq1$ and a graph $Γ$, a path $(u_0, u_1, \ldots, u_{s})$ of vertices of $Γ$ is called an {\em $s$-geodesic} if it is a shortest path from $u_0$ to $u_{s}$. We say that $Γ$ is {\em $s$-geodesic transitive} if, for each $i\leq s$, $Γ$ has at least one $i$-geodesic, and its automorphism group is transitive on the set of $i$-geodesics. In 2021, Jin and Praeger [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 178 (2021) 105349] have studied $3$-geodesic transitive graphs of girth $5$ or $6$, and the…

Exacerbation of viscoelastic instability due to viscous heating
The linear stability analysis of the pressure-driven flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid through a plane channel is performed to examine the effects of viscous heating-induced buoyancy on the ``purely elastic instability" predicted by \citet{khalid2021continuous} (Phys. Rev. Lett., 2021, 127, 134502). We do not impose any external heating; rather, the temperature increase in the system is solely due to the viscous heating generated by the flow of a highly viscous fluid, which induces buoyancy. This buoy…

Faster Remainder by Direct Computation: Applications to Compilers and Software Libraries
On common processors, integer multiplication is many times faster than integer division. Dividing a numerator n by a divisor d is mathematically equivalent to multiplication by the inverse of the divisor (n / d = n x 1/d). If the divisor is known in advance---or if repeated integer divisions will be performed with the same divisor---it can be beneficial to substitute a less costly multiplication for an expensive division. Currently, the remainder of the division by a constant is computed from…

Note on the interpretation of magnetic diffraction in NdAlSi: helical or fan?
We revisit the magnetic structure analysis reported in Nat. Mater. 20, 1650 (2021), which concluded that a Weyl semimetal candidate NdAlSi hosts a helical magnetic order. This conclusion was based on magnetic neutron diffraction peaks corresponding to modulation vectors $\vec{k}_{in} = (1/3, 1/3, 0)$ and $\vec{k}_{out} = (2/3, 2/3, 0)$, attributed to in-plane and out-of-plane components of the magnetic moments, respectively. Upon careful reanalysis, we suggest that a fan-type magnetic structure…

After a long term efforts, the Hamiltonian problem of connected vertex-transitive graphs of order $pq$ (where $p$ and $q$ are primes) was finally finshed in 2021, see [10]. Fifteen years ago, mathematicians began to challenge this problem for graphs of order $2pq$. Among of them, it was proved in 2012 (see [21]) that every connected vertex-transitive graph of order $10p$ (where $p\neq7$ is a prime) contains a Hamilton path, with the exception of a family of graphs which was recently confirmed i…

Good Morning #Canada
There is a little known reporting tool on the ##StatsCan website called Canada’s Quality of Life Hub. First proposed in 2021, and launched in 2023, it is a framework that gathers data and evidence to inform priority setting and guide decision-making in various policy areas, including the budgetary process. The Framework comprises five domains –prosperity, health, environment, society, and good governance – and two cross-cutting lenses: fairness and inclusion, and sustainability and resilience. Not enough Canadians have heard of it, and I suspect very few government policies are implemented before analyzing the impact on quality of life measurement by this tool. On a positive note, #StatsCan is looking for feedback on how to improve the hub.

Proof of the linkage conjecture for highly connected tournaments
A digraph $D$ is $k$-linked if for every $2k$ distinct vertices $ x_1,\ldots , x_k, y_1, \ldots , y_k$ in $D$, there exist $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint paths $P_1,\ldots, P_k$ such that $P_i$ starts at $x_i$ and ends at $y_i$ for each $i\in [k]$. In 2021, Girão, Popielarz, and Snyder [Combinatorica 41 (2021) 815--837] conjectured that there exists a constant $C >0$ such that every $(2k+1)$-connected tournament with minimum out-degree at least $Ck$ is $k$-linked. In this paper, we disprove this…

Gone with the glaciers: Researchers track unprecedented ice loss
A study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that glaciers in western Canada, the United States, and Switzerland lost around 12% of their ice between 2001 and 2024.
