Bird-like robot with novel wing system achieves self-takeoff and low-speed flight
In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight. While this bio-inspired robot performed well at a cruising speed, it was not capable of flying at lower speeds or achieving takeoff without assistance.

Optimally building spanning graphs in semirandom graph processes
The semirandom graph process constructs a graph $G$ in a series of rounds, starting with the empty graph on $n$ vertices. In each round, a player is offered a vertex $v$ chosen uniformly at random, and chooses an edge on $v$ to add to $G$. The player's aim is to make $G$ satisfy some property as quickly as possible. Our interest is in the property that $G$ contain a given $n$-vertex graph $H$ with maximum degree $Δ$. In 2021, Ben-Eliezer, Gishboliner, Hefetz and Krivelevich showed that there i…

"Rich-Get-Richer"? Analyzing Content Creator Earnings Across Large Social Media Platforms
This paper examines whether monthly content creator earnings follow a power law distribution, driven by compounding 'rich-get-richer' dynamics (Barabasi and Albert 1999). Patreon creator earnings data for 2018, 2021, and 2024 for Instagram, Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Patreon exhibit a power law exponent around $α= 2$. This suggests that algorithmic systems generate unequalizing returns closer to highly concentrated capital income and wealth, rather than labor income. Platforms gov…

Search for UHE neutrinos from GRBs with the Pierre Auger Observatory
We report on the search for ultra-high-energy neutrinos from the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using Surface Detector (SD) data from Phase I of the Pierre Auger Observatory (2004-2021). A total of 570 GRBs occur within the most neutrino-sensitive field of view of the SD, considering both Earth-skimming and downward-going detection channels. For this purpose, GRB neutrino emission has been modeled using the numerical software NeuCosmA, incorporating gamma-ray measurements and inferr…

A transmission hologram for slitless spectrophotometry on a convergent telescope beam. Optimisation and characterization
This article details the optimisation and the characterisation of the hologram described in a companion paper published in 2021, which showed the superiority of a holographic optical element over a periodic grating as a disperser installed in the path of a converging beam on an on-axis detector (unbent spectrograph) for slitless spectroscopy. In this article, we describe in detail the development and optimisation of the final optical holographic element installed on the spectrograph of the auxi…

Bi-Lipschitz embedding properties of lamplighter graphs on weighted and unweighted trees
In 2021 Baudier, Motakis, Schlumprecht, and Zsák proved that if a sequence of graphs $(G_k)_{k\in{\mathbb{N}}}$ contains the sequence of complete graphs with uniformly bounded distortion, then the sequence of lamplighter graphs on $G_k$'s contains Hamming cubes with uniformly bounded distortion and asked whether the converse holds. They suggested that a sequence of trees with edges replaced by paths of ``moderately growing'' lengths may be a counterexample. We prove that indeed this is the…

Quaking in Soft Granular Particles with Speed-dependent Friction: Effect of Inertia
Our previous numerical simulation [C.-E. Tsai et al., Physical Review Research 6, 023065 (2024)] has shown that, for soft granular particles under quasistatic shearing, incorporating a speed-dependent friction is a necessary condition for reproducing the rate-dependent stick-slip fluctuations that have been found in laboratory experiments [J.-C. Tsai et al., Physical Review Letters 126, 128001 (2021)]. As a continuation, here we employ the simulation at a wide range of driving speeds to examine…

Ergodic Properties of Quantum Markov Semigroups
In this paper, we study the ergodic theorem for infinite-dimensional quantum Markov semigroups, originally introduced by Frigerio and Verri in 1982, and its latest version developed by Carbone and Girotti in 2021. We provide a sufficient condition that ensures exponential convergence towards the positive recurrent subspace, a well-known result for irreducible quantum Markov semigroups in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Several illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the applicatio…

Frequency-Aware Ensemble Learning for BraTS 2025 Pediatric Brain Tumor Segmentation
Pediatric brain tumor segmentation presents unique challenges due to the rarity and heterogeneity of these malignancies, yet remains critical for clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. We propose an ensemble approach integrating nnU-Net, Swin UNETR, and HFF-Net for the BraTS-PED 2025 challenge. Our method incorporates three key extensions: adjustable initialization scales for optimal nnU-Net complexity control, transfer learning from BraTS 2021 pre-trained models to enhance Swin UNETR's gen…

We report three epochs of polarized images of M87* at 230\,GHz using data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) taken in 2017, 2018, and 2021. The baseline coverage of the 2021 observations is significantly improved through the addition of two new EHT stations: the 12\,m Kitt Peak Telescope and the Northern Extended Millimetre Array (NOEMA). All observations result in images dominated by a bright, asymmetric ring with a persistent diameter of $43.9\pm 0.6\,\muas$, consistent with expectations …

Good Morning #Canada
I've been a bachelor since Thursday as my wife is in Toronto helping my daughter with her latest chemo session. She's back late Monday when life, for me, returns to normal. According to #StatsCan, being married at our age (late 60s) is the most prevalent relationship. But Canadians in younger age brackets are more likely these days to be living common-law and getting married later in life, if at all. Canada has one of the highest rates of common-law relationships worldwide and the highest in the G7. Between 1981 and 2021, common-law couples increased 447% while the number of married couples grew by only 26%. Common-law unions are most prevalent in Nunavut (52%), Quebec (43%), and the Northwest Territories (36%). It's no surprise that more than half of Canadians believe that marriage is not necessary, and even less surprising that this opinion is stronger with young men versus young women.
