Overview of the TREC 2022 deep learning track
This is the fourth year of the TREC Deep Learning track. As in previous years, we leverage the MS MARCO datasets that made hundreds of thousands of human annotated training labels available for both passage and document ranking tasks. In addition, this year we also leverage both the refreshed passage and document collections that were released last year leading to a nearly $16$ times increase in the size of the passage collection and nearly four times increase in the document collection size.

Flapping dynamics of a compliant membrane in a uniform incoming flow

Flapping dynamics of a compliant membrane in a uniform incoming flow
Recent theoretical and experimental investigations have revealed that flapping compliant membrane wings can significantly enhance propulsive performance (e.g. Tzezana and Breuer, 2019, J. Fluid Mech., 862, 871-888) and energy harvesting efficiency (e.g. Mathai et al., 2022, J. Fluid Mech., 942, R4) compared to rigid foils. Here, we numerically investigate the effects of the stretching coefficient (or aeroelastic number), $K_S$, the flapping frequency, $St_c$, and the pitching amplitude, $θ_0$,…

#Manchester's filthy air.
A long way to go.
"All in all, the measures will get Greater Manchester’s air to 40.3 micrograms of nitrogen dioxide in one cubic metre of air.
"The UK legal limit is officially 40, but results under 40.4 are rounded down, making TfGM’s plan compliant.
"But the World Health Organisation’s recommended limit is just 10."

Clean air zone signs are down, but our pollution 'is like smoking 150 cigarettes a year'. Now what?
The charging clean air zone was cancelled after a spectacular U-turn in 2022 - and led to more arguments and thousands of stickers being slapped on signs. Now there's a new plan, Ethan Davies examines what it involves - and why it's only a start

An SS433 flare caught by TESS. Fast rise times and evidence for a 13 hours quasi-period
SS433 is an exotic Galactic microquasar in which there is a supercritical inflow of matter into a compact object of likely black hole nature. Here we report on an SS433 flare that occurred during a TESS observation of Sector 54 in June of 2022. The flare lasted for about 10 days and culminated in a flux increase by a factor of three relative to quiescence. The unprecedented continuous photometric coverage of the flare afforded by TESS shows that the flux can rise and fall by up to a factor of t…

The Revolution Has Arrived: What the Current State of Large Language Models in Education Implies for the Future
Large language Models have only been widely available since 2022 and yet in less than three years have had a significant impact on approaches to education and educational technology. Here we review the domains in which they have been used, and discuss a variety of use cases, their successes and failures. We then progress to discussing how this is changing the dynamic for learners and educators, consider the main design challenges facing LLMs if they are to become truly helpful and effective as …

I’m running CalyxOS on my old Fairphone4, not because it’s a bad choice, but precisely to observe how incredibly behind this OS is on security updates.
My primary device today is a Pixel 9a running GrapheneOS, not this outdated, insecure, and privacy-compromised Fairphone 4.
This Fairphone never became my daily driver once I realized just how far behind it is on security and privacy. I used it from October 2022 until I switched to my Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS in early May 2023,…

A Data-Driven Model Predictive Controller to manage epidemics: The case of SARS-CoV-2 in Mauritius
This work investigates the benefits of implementing a systematic approach to social isolation policies during epidemics. We develop a mixed integer data-driven model predictive control (MPC) scheme based on an SIHRD model which is identified from available data. The case of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (also known as COVID-19) in Mauritius is used as a reference point with data obtained during the period December 2021 to May 2022. The isolation scheme is designed with the control decision…

Basierend auf den neuesten Lohndaten aus dem Jahr 2022 konnten wir zeigen, dass der Mindestlohn zu einer drastischen Abnahme von Tiefstlöhnen bei Frauen geführt hat. Vor dessen Einführung arbeitete mehr als jede zehnte Frau für weniger als 4000 Franken Monatslohn für eine Vollzeitstelle. Zwei Jahre später waren es nur noch 3,3 Prozent.

Complete Classification of Directed Quantum Graphs on M2
In 2022, Gromada and Matsuda classified undirected quantum graphs on the matrix algebra $M_2$. Later, Wasilweski provided a solid theory of directed quantum graphs which was formerly only established for undirected quantum graphs. Using this framework we extend the results of Matsuda and Gromada, and present a complete classification of directed quantum graphs on $M_2$. Most prominently, we observe that there is a far bigger range of directed quantum graphs than of undirected quantum graphs on …
