Researchers identify 22 key areas for protecting struggling giant otters
“They’re big, like an overweight Peruvian dog,” is how photographer Santiago Romaní describes giant otters (Pteronura brasiliensis). In 2022, on his trip to the Imiría Regional Conservation Area, a protected area in the Ucayali region of Peru’s east-central Amazon, he observed the aquatic river giants. That same year, the area’s administration confirmed the presence of […]

Tupolev, a Soviet-era aerospace firm now fully integrated into Russia's defense-industrial complex, has been under international sanctions since 2022 for its role in Russia's war against Ukraine.
Its bombers have been widely used to launch long-range cruise missiles against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.

Hedging Deposit Run Risk Prior to the 2023 Regional Banking Crisis
In this analysis we determine factors driving the cross-sectional variation in uninsured deposits during the interest rate raising cycle of 2022 to 2023. The goal of our analysis is to determine whether banks proactively managed deposit run risk prior to the hiking cycle which produced the 2023 Regional Banking Crisis. We find evidence that interest rate forward, futures, and swap use affected the change in a bank uninsured deposits over the period. Interest rate option use, however, has no eff…

The interaction of magnetic monopoles with matter was modeled according to Kazama, Yang, and Goldhaber cross-section. Upper limits on the flux of magnetic monopoles are obtained for velocities both above and below the Cherenkov threshold. No events consistent with the passage of magnetic monopoles were detected, enabling the setting of an upper flux…

Revisiting Bourgain's probabilistic construction of solutions to the 2-$d$ cubic NLS
In a seminal paper (1996), Bourgain proved invariance of the Gibbs measure for the defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the two-dimensional torus by constructing local-in-time solutions in a probabilistic manner. In this note, we revisit and streamline his argument, using the random tensor estimate developed by Deng, Nahmod, and Yue (2022).

Krugman outlines a constellation of possible causes around a core theme: extreme uncertainty.
“What does a business do in the face of this kind of uncertainty? It tries to avoid making commitments that it may soon regret.”
Krugman tries to tie it all to Trump’s recent actions, which is dubious: the post-college job market has been crap since 2022 or 2023; Krugman’s own graph suggests it started worsening circa 2018. The larger theme of uncertainty, however, fits that timeframe.

Recent studies consistently highlight students' (mis)use of LLMs can hinder learning outcomes. This work aims to teach students how to effectively prompt LLMs to improve their learning. We first proposed pedagogical prompting, a theoretically-grounded new concept to elicit learning-oriented responses from LLMs. To move from concept design to a proof-of-co…

Anomalous Bulk Current in Quantum Hall Systems with an Expanding Edge
Understanding topological phases of matter is essential for advancing both the fundamental theory and practical applications of condensed matter physics. Recently, a theoretical framework for a quantum Hall system with an expanding edge state was proposed [Phys. Rev.

Motivated by this work, we extend the analysis to a model of a $(2+1)$-dimensional spacetime that includes both the …

Impact of nonlinearities on relativistic dynamical tides in compact binary inspirals
The tidal deformation of a neutron star in a binary inspiral driven by the emission of gravitational waves affects the orbital dynamics and produces a measurable modulation of the waves. Late in the inspiral, a regime of dynamical tides takes over from a prior regime of static tides. A recent analysis by Yu et al. [M.N.R.A.S. 519, 4325 (2022)] reveals that nonlinear aspects of the tidal interaction are important during the regime of dynamical tides. Their theoretical framework is grounded in Ne…

Dust production rates in Jupiter-family comets II: Trends and population insights from ATLAS photometry of 116 JFCs
Jupiter-family comets (JFCs) have orbital periods of less than 20 years and therefore undergo more frequent sublimation compared to other comet populations. The JFCs therefore represent the ideal dynamical population for investigating the dust production rates at high-cadence. We analyzed observations by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) of 74 JFCs that reached perihelion in 2022 and 2023. The work contained in this study builds upon our previous work (Gillan et al. 2024…

Updated line list for the principal isotopologue of carbon monoxide
The line list for the principal isotopologue of CO calculated earlier by the present authors [1, 2] with the irregular dipole-moment function (DMF) is updated with use of the recent high-precision measurements in the 3-0 [3, 4] (Bielska et al. 2022, Hodges et al. 2025) and 7-0 [5] (Balashov et al. 2023) bands. The new data came in contradiction with the experimental data on the 1-0 band [6, 7]. Therefore, we performed fitting several model DMFs to the modified original data set of Meshkov et al…

Soderle, und hier haben wir nun auch noch die kumulative Grafik mit der Anzahl der Balkonkraftwerke.
Hab noch den Endpunkt rangebastelt, damit man die Summe sieht.
Von der diese Woche vermeldeten Million sind wir zumindest offiziell noch etwas entfernt, wobei Sebastian ja von einer hohen Dunkelziffer ausgeht.
Wieso haben wir eigentlich eine Dunkelziffer? Faulheit? Ungenehmigt?

Search for the rare decay D$^0$ $\to$ $\mu^ \mu^-$ in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV

Search for the rare decay D$^0$ $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$ in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV
A search for the rare decay D$^0$ $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$ is reported using proton-proton collision events at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV collected by the CMS detector in 2022$-$2023, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 64.5 fb$^{-1}$. This is the first analysis to use a newly developed inclusive dimuon trigger, expanding the scope of the CMS flavor physics program. The search uses D$^0$ mesons obtained from D$^{*+}$ $\to$ D$^0π^+$ decays. No significant excess is observed. A limit on the branchin…

Results from the Pan-STARRS Search for Kilonovae: Contamination by Massive Stellar Outbursts
We present results from the Pan-STARRS optical search for kilonovae without the aid of gravitational wave and gamma-ray burst triggers. The search was conducted from 26 October 2019 to 15 December 2022. During this time, we reported 29,740 transients observed by Pan-STARRS to the IAU Transient Name Server. Of these, 175 were Pan-STARRS credited discoveries that had a host galaxy within 200 Mpc and had discovery absolute magnitudes M > -16.5. A subset of 11 transients was plausibly identified as…

Good Morning #Canada
In 2022, this town was voted by CBC readers and viewers as the "Best Small Town in B.C.". Sure, it's got skiing, golf, scenery, and friendly people but it's also a destination for your next #BigStuffInSmallTowns road trip. Kimberley's downtown was designed to resemble a Bavarian tourist village, so it features an almost 7 metre tall cuckoo clock where Happy Hans, a Bavarian-style mountaineer, announces the time.
