Big news for the energy transition!
And a nice little 'told you so' moment for yours truly :)
In the first half of this year, renewables produced more electricity globally than coal, for the first time.
And 2025 is the date I predicted for this to happen, back in 2016, in a blog post for Ecofys! The score was 23%-40% at the time, with most of the renewables share still coming from hydro, and the prediction was less than obvious.

"In Al-Mughayyir, a village near Ramallah, more than 3,000 olive trees were bulldozed by Israeli forces, part of a broader pattern of destruction. Similarly, Deir Ballout has been targeted once again. It’s where, in 2021, Zaytoun customers helped plant 2,000 olive trees with the Palestine Fair Trade Association to replace those previously destroyed by Israeli forces."

Uniqueness of entire function concerning derivatives and shifts

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.

An Economic Analysis of Electricity Consumption and Electric Vehicle Adoption in California from 2010 to 2021
This paper examines the impact of electric vehicles on total annual electricity consumption across 58 counties in California from 2010 to 2021. Employing a log linear model to analyze the relationship between electricity consumption and EV ownership, alongside a linear log model with an instrumental variable approach, the study finds that annual per capita electricity consumption increased by 0.23% for each additional electric vehicle per 10,000 residents over the 12 years period. The analysis …

This 2021 commit might be the milestone first of a series of commits that simplified things:

Kraftwerke stoßen in der Tat weniger als Holzöfen aus. Die gesamte Energiewirtschaft stieß ca. 5.000 t Feinstaub (2021) aus. Dazu gehören alle Arten von Kraftwerken und einiges anderes.
Holzöfen stießen 15.700 t Feinstaub aus. Das heißt, das Dreifache dessen, was die gesamte Energiewirtschaft an Feinstaub ausstößt.
Den Fakt fand ich überraschend.

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…

This study examines how Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine affected foreign co-funding, authorship patterns, and the citation impact of articles funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MESU), the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU), and the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (NRFU). The analysis includes articles in Scopus-indexed journals between 2020 and 2023. The share of articles funded by these agencies increased from 8.6% in 2020-2021 to 11.9% in 2…

"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…

Multi-spacecraft Measurements of the Evolving Geometry of the Solar Alfvén Surface Over Half a Solar Cycle
The geometry of a star's Alfvén surface determines stellar angular momentum loss, separates a causally distinct 'corona' and stellar wind, and potentially affects exoplanetary habitability. The solar Alfvén surface is the only such structure that is directly measurable and since 2021, has been routinely measured in situ by NASA's Parker Solar Probe (Parker). We use these unique measurements in concert with Solar Orbiter and L1 in situ data spanning the first half of the Solar Cycle 25 in time…
