Multiwavelength study of Galactic PeVatron LHAASO J0341+5258
Galactic PeVatrons are astrophysical sources accelerating particles up to a few PeV (~10$^{15}$ eV). The primary method to identify both electron and proton PeVatrons is the observation of $γ$-ray radiation at ultra-high energies (UHE; E$>$100 TeV). In 2021, LHAASO detected 14 steady $γ$-ray sources with photon energies above 100 TeV and up to 1.4 PeV. Most of these sources can be plausibly associated with objects such as supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and stellar clusters. However,…

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.

Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction
Is module-lattice reduction better than unstructured lattice reduction? This question was highlighted as 'Q8' in the Kyber NIST standardization submission (Avanzi et al., 2021), as potentially affecting the concrete security of Kyber and other module-lattice-based schemes. Foundational works on module-lattice reduction (Lee, Pellet-Mary, Stehlé, and Wallet, ASIACRYPT 2019; Mukherjee and Stephens-Davidowitz, CRYPTO 2020) confirmed the existence of such module variants of LLL and block-reduction…

Harvests and Hooky in the Hills: Crop Yield Variability and Gendered School Enrollment in Rwanda
This paper investigates the trade-off that households in agrarian economies face between immediate production needs and long-term human capital investment. We ask how exogenous agricultural productivity shocks affect primary and secondary school enrollment in Rwanda, a country characterized by a heavy reliance on rain-fed agriculture alongside ambitious development goals. Using a district-level panel dataset for the years 2010-2021, we employ a two-stage least squares (2SLS) instrumental variab…

Uniformly High Order Discontinuous Galerkin Gas Kinetic Scheme for Compressible flows
In this paper, a uniformly high-order discontinuous Galerkin gas kinetic scheme (DG-HGKS) is proposed to solve the Euler equations of compressible flows. The new scheme is an extension of the one-stage compact and efficient high-order GKS (CEHGKS, Li et al. , 2021. J. Comput. Phys. 447, 110661) in the finite volume framework. The main ideas of the new scheme consist of two parts. Firstly, starting from a fully discrete DG formulation, the numerical fluxes and volume integrals are expanded in ti…

A comprehensive study of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in the 2021/2022 apparition. I. Photometry, spectroscopy, morphology
We present observations of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko during its 2021/22 apparition, aiming to investigate its dust and gas environment and compare the results with those obtained in 2015/16 using the same telescope. Quasi-simultaneous photometric, spectroscopic, and polarimetric observations were carried out at the 6-m BTA SAO telescope. The comet was observed on 6 October 2021, 31 days before perihelion, with \textit{g}-SDSS and \textit{r}-SDSS filters, and on 6 February 2022, 96 days af…

Uniqueness of entire function concerning derivatives and shifts
In the paper, we investigate the uniqueness problem of entire function concerning its derivative and shift and obtain two results. On of our result solves the open problem posed by Majumder et al. (On a conjecture of Li and Yang, Hiroshima Math. J., 53 (2023), 199-223) and the other result improves and generalizes the recent result due to Huang and Fang (Unicity of entire functions concerning their shifts and derivatives, Comput. Methods Funct. Theory, 21 (2021), 523-532) in a large extend.

Quantile-based Fractional Generalized Cumulative Past Entropy
Uncertainty in past lifetime distributions and the timing of inactivity in systems and their components can be effectively measured using the fractional generalized cumulative past entropy (FGCPE) and its dynamic extension (DFGCPE), introduced by Di Crescenzo et al. (2021). Building on this framework, we propose a quantile-based variant, the quantile fractional generalized cumulative past entropy (QFGCPE), along with its dynamic time-dependent counterpart (DQFGCPE).

BTW - that CBC article used a lot of numbers from this report, which because it's all numbers is awesome. Some tidbits:
- The number of farms over 3,500 acres has nearly doubled in 20 years.
- 41.3% of Canadian farmland is rented.
- From 1971 to 2021, the farm population declined by 62.2%, from 1 in 14 Canadians to 1 in 61.
- Farm debt has more than doubled in the last 20 years, from $43B in 2002 to $138.8B in 2022. That is currently 10x the size of net farm income.
- In 2021, 96,043 tonnes of pesticides were sold for agricultural use – more than three times the amount sold in 1991.

Gravitational Recoil and Suppression of Super Massive Black Hole Seeds in the Early Universe
We investigate the impact of gravitational-wave (GW) recoil on the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early Universe. Forming ~10^9 Msun SMBHs by z ~ 6 is challenging and may require hierarchical mergers of smaller seed black holes. We extend a semi-analytic seed model (Sassano et al. 2021) by explicitly incorporating GW recoil physics. Our model includes: (1) recoil velocity formulae calibrated to numerical relativity for spinning, unequal-mass BH binaries (Campanelli et al. 200…

Multilayer networks characterize human-mobility patterns by industry sector for the 2021 Texas winter storm
Understanding human mobility during disastrous events is crucial for emergency planning and disaster management. Here, we develop a methodology involving the construction of time-varying, multilayer networks in which edges encode observed movements between spatial regions (census tracts) and network layers encode different movement categories according to industry sectors (e.g., visitations to schools, hospitals, and grocery stores). This approach provides a rich characterization of human mobil…
