Probing the energy-dependent temporal nature of MAXI J1803-298 with AstroSat and NICER
We performed the spectral and temporal analysis of MAXI J1803-298 using AstroSat/LAXPC and NICER observations taken in May 2021 during the initial phase of the outburst. We found that the source traverses through the hard, intermediate, and soft spectral states during the outburst. The spectrum in all states can be described using soft emissions from the thermal disk and hard emissions from the coronal regions. The variation in the inner disk temperature and normalization of the disk indicates …

A global wildfire paradox: Human impacts worsen even as total burned area declines

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.

Hamilton Cycles In Vertex-Transitive Graphs of Order 10p
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…

Purpose: To develop and optimize a federated learning (FL) framework across multiple clients for biparametric MRI prostate segmentation and clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) detection. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using Flower FL to train a nnU-Net-based architecture for MRI prostate segmentation and csPCa detection, using data collected from January 2010 to August 2021. Model development included training and optimizing local epochs, federated rounds,…

Quasi-periodic oscillations and reflection feature evolution in 4U 1630-47 observed with Insight-HXMT
The Galactic black hole (BH) X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 went into a new outburst in 2021 after $\sim$ 600 days from its 2020 outburst. We perform a detailed analysis of quasi-periodic oscillations and spectral evolutions during its 2021 outburst based on \textit{Insight}-HXMT observations. The main science aims to study the reflection features evolution of this accreting black hole using the observations of detecting quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and quasi-regular modulations (QRMs). The QPOs…

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.

We document strategies and lessons learned from sampling the web by collecting 27.3 million URLs with 3.8 billion archived pages spanning 26 years (1996-2021) from the Internet Archive's (IA) Wayback Machine. Our goal is to revisit fundamental questions regarding the size, nature, and prevalence of the publicly archivable web, in particular, to reconsider the question: "How long does a web page last?" Addressing this question requires obtaining a sample of the web. We proposed several dimension…

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…
