EBCDIC is incompatible with GDPR
Welcome to acronym city! The Court of Appeal of Brussels has made an interesting ruling. A customer complained that their bank was spelling the customer's name incorrectly. The bank didn't have support for diacritical marks. Things like á, è, ô, ü, ç etc. Those accents are common in many languages. So it was a little surprising that the bank didn't support them. The bank refused to spell their c…

A Data-Driven Model Predictive Controller to manage epidemics: The case of SARS-CoV-2 in Mauritius
This work investigates the benefits of implementing a systematic approach to social isolation policies during epidemics. We develop a mixed integer data-driven model predictive control (MPC) scheme based on an SIHRD model which is identified from available data. The case of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (also known as COVID-19) in Mauritius is used as a reference point with data obtained during the period December 2021 to May 2022. The isolation scheme is designed with the control decision…

From 600 Tools to 1 Console: A UX-Driven Transformation
In 2021 the Technical Infrastructure (TI) User Experience (UX) team sent a survey to 10,000 Google Developers (Googlers) and uncovered that Google's internal infrastructure tools were fragmented and inefficient, hindering developers' productivity. Using user centered research and design methodologies the team first created a story map and service blueprint to visualize the relationship between internal applications, then formulated a strategic vision to consolidate tools, streamline workflows, …

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…

Certification of High-Dimensional Entanglement Within the Resource Theory of Buscemi Nonlocality
The study on the certification of high degree entanglement, which is quantified in terms of Schmidt number, attracts much attention recently. Drawing inspiration from the work [PRX QUANTUM 2, 020301 (2021)], we first introduce resource theories of distributed measurements and teleportation instruments generated by a bipartite mixed state. Next we quantitatively characterized the relations among the convex resource theories of distributed measurements, teleportation instruments, and bipartite mi…

Refuting Perfect Matchings in Spectral Expanders is Hard
This work studies the complexity of refuting the existence of a perfect matching in spectral expanders with an odd number of vertices, in the Polynomial Calculus (PC) and Sum of Squares (SoS) proof system. Austrin and Risse [SODA, 2021] showed that refuting perfect matchings in sparse $d$-regular \emph{random} graphs, in the above proof systems, with high probability requires proofs with degree $Ω(n/\log n)$. We extend their result by showing the same lower bound holds for \emph{all} $d$-regul…

Timing and spectral variability in 2S 1417-624 observed with Insight-HXMT
We present the results of the spectral and timing analyses of the accreting X-ray pulsar, 2S 1417-624, during the 2018 and 2021 outbursts with Insight-HXMT. We find that the pulse profiles in all energy bands exhibit clear double-peaked structures at low flux states. In the 1-10 keV band, the pulse profiles evolve from double to triple peaks at a flux level of $\sim$4.1$\ \times \ 10^{-9}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, and from triple to quadruple peaks at $\sim$6.4$\ \times \ 10^{-9}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ …

Surgeons Awareness, Expectations, and Involvement with Artificial Intelligence: a Survey Pre and Post the GPT Era
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming medicine, with generative AI models like ChatGPT reshaping perceptions of its potential. This study examines surgeons' awareness, expectations, and involvement with AI in surgery through comparative surveys conducted in 2021 and 2024. Two cross-sectional surveys were distributed globally in 2021 and 2024, the first before an IRCAD webinar and the second during the annual EAES meeting. The surveys assessed demographics, AI awareness, expectations, inv…

Methodological Advances and Challenges in Indirect Treatment Comparisons: A Review of International Guidelines and HAS TC Case Studies
To evaluate methodological challenges and regulatory considerations of indirect treatment comparisons (ITCs) with the analysis of international health technology assessment guidelines and French Transparency Committee (TC) decisions. We conducted a pragmatic review of ITC guidelines from major health technology assessment (HTA) bodies and multistakeholder organizations. Then, we analyzed TC opinions published between 2021-2023. We extracted data on ITC methodology, therapeutic areas, acceptabil…

The BCFW Tiling of the ABJM Amplituhedron
The orthogonal momentum amplituhedron O_k was introduced simultaneously in 2021 by Huang, Kojima, Wen, and Zhang, and by He, Kuo, and Zhang, in the study of scattering amplitudes of ABJM theory. It was conjectured that it admits a decomposition into BCFW cells. We prove this conjecture.

AI-Generated Compromises for Coalition Formation
The challenge of finding compromises between agent proposals is fundamental to AI subfields such as argumentation, mediation, and negotiation. Building on this tradition, Elkind et al. (2021) introduced a process for coalition formation that seeks majority-supported proposals preferable to the status quo, using a metric space where each agent has an ideal point. A crucial step in this process involves identifying compromise proposals around which agent coalitions can unite. How to effectively f…
