Noisy Measurements Are Important, the Design of Census Products Is Much More Important
McCartan et al. (2023) call for "making differential privacy work for census data users." This commentary explains why the 2020 Census Noisy Measurement Files (NMFs) are not the best focus for that plea. The August 2021 letter from 62 prominent researchers asking for production of the direct output of the differential privacy system deployed for the 2020 Census signaled the engagement of the scholarly community in the design of decennial census data products. NMFs, the raw statistics produced b…

New analysis reveals the brutal history of the Winchcombe meteorite's journey through space
Intensive new nano-analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite has revealed how it was affected by water and repeatedly smashed apart and reassembled on the journey it took through space before landing in an English sheep field in 2021.

I remember getting my license back in the beginning of March in 2021 when I changed my gender from man to woman. It felt so freeing to see the gender of who I am reflected in an official document.

The sandpile model on the complete split graph: $q,t$-Schröder polynomials, sawtooth polyominoes, and a cyclic lemma
This paper builds on work initiated in Dukes (2021) that considered the classification of recurrent configurations of the Abelian sandpile model on the complete split graph. We introduce two statistics, wtopple$_{CTI}$ and wtopple$_{ITC}$, on sorted recurrent configurations. These statistics arise from two natural but different toppling conventions, CTI and ITC, for Dhar's burning algorithm as it is applied to the complete split graph. In addition, we introduce the bivariate $q,t$-CTI and $q,t$…

Platforms for Efficient and Incentive-Aware Collaboration
Collaboration is crucial for reaching collective goals. However, its effectiveness is often undermined by the strategic behavior of individual agents -- a fact that is captured by a high Price of Stability (PoS) in recent literature [Blum et al., 2021]. Implicit in the traditional PoS analysis is the assumption that agents have full knowledge of how their tasks relate to one another. We offer a new perspective on bringing about efficient collaboration among strategic agents using information de…

Good morning from Žilina. It is 2 degrees and snowing. As we (sarcastically) say in Finland, May Day weather. #Interrail
The hotel was very good, spacious room and bathroom. Pleasant breakfast. Close to the station.

Comparing Diagonals on the Associahedra
We prove that the formula for the diagonal approximation $Δ_{K}$ on J. Stasheff's $n$-dimensional associahedron $K_{n+2}$ derived by the current authors in 2004 agrees with the "magical formula" for the diagonal approximation $Δ_{K}^{\prime}$ derived by Markl and Shnider in 2006, by Loday in 2011, and by Masuda, Thomas, Tonks, and Vallette in 2021.

Over the next 15 years we will spend $3 Trillion on highway expansions and maintenance in the United States

ESA Science Programme Missions: Contributions and Exploitation -- INTEGRAL Observing Time Proposals
We examine the outcomes of the regular announcements of observing opportunities for ESA's gamma-ray observatory INTEGRAL issued between 2000 and 2021. We investigate how success rates vary with the lead proposer's gender, academic age and the country where the proposer's institute is located. The more than 20 years operational lifetime enable the evolution of the community proposing for INTEGRAL to be probed. We determine proposal success rates for high-priority and all proposals using both the…

Las Vegas Raiders: The 1 Hidden X-Factor That Could Lead Or Stop Potential Justin Fields Trade
The Chicago Bears are a team to watch out for in the 2024 NFL offseason, largely because of quarterback Justin Fields. There is not a shortage of trade rumors — including scenarios involving the Las Vegas Raiders — surrounding Fields, who has yet to blossom into the talent the Bears expected him to become when they selected him first overall at the 2021 NFL Draft. Sure, Fields has shown flashes of brilliance, but he’s yet to have one consistently strong campaign in the pros. Still, some b…

A metric counterpart of the Gu-Yung formula
In this note we consider a generalisation to the metric setting of the recent work [Gu-Yung, JFA 281 (2021), 109075]. In particular, we show that under relatively weak conditions on a metric measure space $(X,d,ν)$, it holds true that \[ \bigg[ \frac{u(x)-u(y)}{d(x,y)^{\frac{s}{p}}} \bigg]_{L^p_w(X \times X, ν\otimes ν)} \approx \| u \|_{L^p(X,ν)}, \] where $s$ is a generalised dimension associated to $X$ and $[\cdot]_{L^p_w}$ is the weak Lebesgue norm. We provide some counterexam…

Two-term spectral asymptotics in linear elasticity
We establish the two-term spectral asymptotics for boundary value problems of linear elasticity on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of arbitrary dimension. We also present some illustrative examples and give a historical overview of the subject. In particular, we correct erroneous results published in [J. Geom. Anal. 31 (2021), 10164--10193].

Stretch-independent magnetization in incompressible magnetorheological elastomers
In this study, we perform a critical examination of the phenomenon where the magnetization is stretch-independent in incompressible hard-magnetic magnetorheological elastomers (h-MREs), as observed in several recent experimental and numerical investigations. We demonstrate that the fully dissipative model proposed by Mukherjee et al. (2021) may be reduced, under physically consistent assumptions, to that of Yan et al. (2023), but not that of Zhao et al. (2019). In cases where the h-MRE solid un…
