Bipartisan Open App Markets Act revived to challenge Apple's App Store control
Big Tech's grip on the app economy is under fire again as lawmakers reintroduce the bipartisan "Open App Markets Act" aimed at breaking Apple and Google's app store dominance.

Ironies of Automation
This paper discusses ways in which automation of industrial processes may expand rather than eliminate problems with the human operator.   ...

1/N Sana viikonvaihteeksi hirviöistä. Luin viikolla kirjan keskiajan hirviöistä (Miikka Tamminen: Keskiajan hirviöt, 2021). Hirviöt olivat pääosin erilaisia hirviörotuja, jotka periytyivät ensimmäisesta ihmisestä, mutta sitten taantuivat korkeintaan puoli-ihmiseksi - mieleltään ja keholtaan. Niitä tiedettiin olevan varsinkin toisella puolen maapalloa, toisten (siis suhteessa geologiseen, rodulliseen ja kulttuuriseen Eurooppaan) kansojen asuinaluilla ja kartoittamattomilla seuduilla.

Noor, my eldest sister Tasneem’s daughter, is three; she was born on May 11, 2021. My sister’s son, Ezz Aldin, was born on December 25, 2023 – in the early months of the war.
One morning, Tasneem walked into our space carrying them in her arms. I looked at her and asked the question that wouldn’t leave my mind: “Tasneem, do Noor and Ezz Aldin unders…

‘Did you eat today?’: Voices of Gaza speak of starvation and survival
‘We are starved by the Israeli occupation,’ says Taqwa al-Wawi in Gaza, where all she thinks about is how hungry she is.

Polarisation as a probe of neutrino emission from blazars
The source of extragalactic neutrinos in the TeV-PeV range is a matter of very active research, with blazar jets having been postulated to be the origin of at least some of the detections. The blazar PKS 0735+178 is a prominent example; during its multi-band flare in late 2021 a neutrino event was reported by four observatories, with its origin consistent with the direction of that source. While no new jet component was observed to be ejected during that narrow time-frame, our analysis shows th…

Quantum-Safe Identity Verification using Relativistic Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems
Identity verification is the process of confirming an individual's claimed identity, which is essential in sectors like finance, healthcare, and online services to ensure security and prevent fraud. However, current password/PIN-based identity solutions are susceptible to phishing or skimming attacks, where malicious intermediaries attempt to steal credentials using fake identification portals. Alikhani et al. [Nature, 2021] began exploring identity verification through graph coloring-based rel…

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$^{-2}$ …

Modeling Transmission Dynamics of Tuberculosis: Parameter Estimation and Sensitivity Analysis Using Real-World Data
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to pose a major public health challenge, particularly in high-burden regions such as Ethiopia, necessitating a more profound understanding of its transmission dynamics. In this study, we developed an SVEITRS compartmental model to investigate the transmission dynamics of TBs, utilizing real data from Ethiopia from 2011-2021. Model parameters were estimated via two methods: nonlinear least squares and maximum likelihood, with maximum likelihood providing more accurate…
