After stabilizing around 2000-2005, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gas methane started to rise again, accelerating until a few years ago.
At least the increase seems to be slowing down since 2021.

Overview of the TREC 2021 deep learning track
This is the third year of the TREC Deep Learning track. As in previous years, we leverage the MS MARCO datasets that made hundreds of thousands of human annotated training labels available for both passage and document ranking tasks. In addition, this year we refreshed both the document and the passage collections which also led to a nearly four times increase in the document collection size and nearly $16$ times increase in the size of the passage collection. Deep neural ranking models that em…

A Deep Dive into X’s Community Notes: An Analysis of English and Spanish Contributions Between 2021 and 2025
The Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas (DDIA) examined how X’s Community Notes system functions across English and Spanish, drawing from over 1.76 million notes submitted globally between 2021 and 2025. The report explores submission and publication dynamics, contributor behavior, and systemic challenges like transparency gaps and rating backlogs. As community-driven content moderation becomes a global model, this report sheds light on its potential, and limitations, for building a h…

Saudi Arabia has executed almost 600 people over the past decade for drug-related offences,
-- three-quarters of whom were foreign nationals from countries including Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Nigeria and Egypt.
After a temporary moratorium on drug-related capital punishments between 2021 and 2022, the executions jumped to record levels, with 122 in 2024 and 118 so far this year up until the end of last month.
With little international scrutiny of what Amnesty International de…

Improved Binary Black Hole Search Discriminator from the Singular Value Decomposition of Non-Gaussian Noise Transients
The sensitivity of current gravitational wave (GW) detectors to transient GW signals is severely affected by a variety of non-Gaussian and non-stationary noise transients, such as the blip and tomte "glitches". These glitches share some time-frequency resemblance with GW signals from massive binary black holes. In earlier works [Joshi et al., Phys. Rev. D 103, 044035 (2021); Choudhary et al., Phys. Rev. D 110, 044051 (2024)], the authors presented a method for constructing a $χ^2$-distributed …

Satellite and Mobile Phone Data Reveal How Violence Affects Seasonal Migration in Afghanistan
Seasonal migration plays a critical role in stabilizing rural economies and sustaining the livelihoods of agricultural households. Violence and civil conflict have long been thought to disrupt these labor flows, but this hypothesis has historically been hard to test given the lack of reliable data on migration in conflict zones. Focusing on Afghanistan in the 8-year period prior to the Taliban's takeover in 2021, we first demonstrate how satellite imagery can be used to infer the timing of the …

Effect of Different Concentration and Application Method of Zinc on Yield of Chickpea (Pisum Sativum L.)
This study evaluated the impact of Zinc (Zn) supplementation on the growth, yield, and seed quality of chickpea (Pisum sativum L.) under the semi-arid conditions of Kerman, Iran, across two growing seasons (2021-2022). A randomized complete block design was used with six treatments, including varying concentrations of zinc sulphate applied via foliar spraying (0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%) or irrigation (4, 8, 16 kg/ha), each applied twice-one and two months after greening. Results from the first year rev…
