This is very problematic. Alarming data from 1979 to 2024 shows sea surface temperatures reaching historic highs. Recent years have shattered all previous records, indicating a dire escalation in our climate crisis. This threatens vital marine ecosystems and our global climate stability. We need leadership in action now.

Online Misogyny Against Female Candidates in the 2022 Brazilian Elections: A Threat to Women's Political Representation?
Technology-facilitated gender-based violence has become a global threat to women's political representation and democracy. Understanding how online hate affects its targets is thus paramount. We analyse 10 million tweets directed at female candidates in the Brazilian election in 2022 and examine their reactions to online misogyny. Using a self-trained machine learning classifier to detect Portuguese misogynistic tweets and a quantitative analysis of the candidates' tweeting behaviour, we invest…

Characterization for a generic construction of bent functions and its consequences
Recently, Li et al. presented a generic construction of bent functions in [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, vol. 68, no. 4, pp. 2735-2751, 2022]. In this paper, we give a characterization for their construction from another perspective. This characterization enables us to obtain another efficient construction of bent functions. Based on that, we derive several infinite families of concrete bent functions and give their duals. Our results show that many known bent functions are particular cases of our b…

Such ROMs can keep the intrinsic structure of the system, allowing them to capture the physics described by the governing equations. In this work, we extend this appr…

In 2022, using methods from ergodic theory, Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Robertson resolved a longstanding conjecture of Erdős about sumsets in large subsets of the natural numbers. In this paper, we extend this result to several important classes of amenable groups, including all finitely generated virtually nilpotent groups, and all abelian groups $(G,+)$ with the property that the subgroup $2G := \{g+g : g\in G\}$ has finite index. We prove that in any group $G$ from the above classes, any $A…

Homogeneous Second-Order Descent Framework: A Fast Alternative to Newton-Type Methods
This paper proposes a homogeneous second-order descent framework (HSODF) for nonconvex and convex optimization based on the generalized homogeneous model (GHM). In comparison to the Newton steps, the GHM can be solved by extremal symmetric eigenvalue procedures and thus grant an advantage in ill-conditioned problems. Moreover, GHM extends the ordinary homogeneous model (OHM) (Zhang et al. 2022) to allow adaptiveness in the construction of the aggregated matrix. Consequently, HSODF is able to re…

In this work, we assess the potential detectability of solar panels made of silicon on an Earth-like exoplanet as a potential technosignature. Silicon-based photovoltaic cells have high reflectance in the UV-VIS and in the near-IR, within the wavelength range of a space-based flagship mission concept like the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO).

28/ So und jetzt noch mal einen letzten oder vorletzten Post zum Thema #Tesla. Ich war auch einer von denen, die sich erst über Tesla gefreut haben. Arbeitsplätze für eine strukturschwache Region (Osten, Nazis, Arbeit = gute Sache). Außerdem Ökoautos. Das mit dem Lithium ist mittelfristig wohl kein großes Problem, weil es natriumbasierte Batterien gibt, die jetzt auch schon Produktionsreife erreicht haben. Natrium gibt es wie Salz im Meer. (kleiner Scherz, Natrium ist im Salz enthalten)
Man kann sich auch denken, dass die Autos ja irgendwo hergestellt werden müssen. Also auch wenn wir hier gar nicht so viele haben wollen, wäre es gut, die für einen globalen Markt zu haben.
Aber der Punkt ist: Was in Grünheide hergestellt wird, wird nirgends gebraucht. Es sind SUVs, die für alle Einsatzzwecke auf der Welt zu groß sind. Und für Deutschland galt schon vor einigen Jahren #CarIsOver, denn die Herstellung eines SUVs verbrauchte damals das Restbudget, das jeder Person noch individuell zur Verfügung stand.

Also: Keine Monsterautos mehr. Ob aus Grünheide oder Stuttgart oder Wolfsburg. Die ungedämmte Krankenschwester, die pendeln muss, kann das mit einem kleinen E-Auto tun. Bis zum Stadtrand. Bis es auch dafür bessere Mobilitätslösungen gibt.

Given two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, the size Ramsey number $\hat{r}(G_1,G_2)$ refers to the smallest number of edges in a graph $G$ such that for any red-blue edge-coloring of $G$, either a red subgraph $G_1$ or a blue subgraph $G_2$ is present in $G$.

Supervised Autoencoder MLP for Financial Time Series Forecasting
This paper investigates the enhancement of financial time series forecasting with the use of neural networks through supervised autoencoders, aiming to improve investment strategy performance.

The study focuses on the S&P 500 index, EUR/USD, and BTC/USD as the traded assets from January 1, 2010, to April 30, 2022. Findings indicate that supervi…

Finding product sets in some classes of amenable groups
In 2022, using methods from ergodic theory, Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Robertson resolved a longstanding conjecture of Erdős about sumsets in large subsets of the natural numbers. In this paper, we extend this result to several important classes of amenable groups, including all finitely generated virtually nilpotent groups, and all abelian groups $(G,+)$ with the property that the subgroup $2G := \{g+g : g\in G\}$ has finite index. We prove that in any group $G$ from the above classes, any $A…
