Trump uses tariff threat to undermine the rule of law in Brazil. For those who still treat Trump tariffs as some kind of economic policy: the US has a trade surplus with Brazil.

Brazil’s prosecutor-general has filed charges against former President Jair Bolsonaro for attempting a coup to stay in office after his 2022 election defeat.

New Bounds for the Ideal Proof System in Positive Characteristic
In this work, we prove upper and lower bounds over fields of positive characteristics for several fragments of the Ideal Proof System (IPS), an algebraic proof system introduced by Grochow and Pitassi (J. ACM 2018). Our results extend the works of Forbes, Shpilka, Tzameret, and Wigderson (Theory of Computing 2021) and also of Govindasamy, Hakoniemi, and Tzameret (FOCS 2022). These works primarily focused on proof systems over fields of characteristic $0$, and we are able to extend these results…

Olha, Portugal ali em primeiro.
Curioso que quando nos ensinam na escola os descobrimentos nem sempre nos digam também que "descobrimentos" sempre implicaram imperialismo e colonialismo e o que deles vem.
Em grande medida, Portugal criou o mundo moderno. Com o que isso tem de bom E com o (muito) que tem de mau. Mas por cš raramente se fala do mau.

New Bounds on the Anti-Ramsey Number of Independent Triangles
An edge-colored graph is called \textit{rainbow graph} if all the colors on its edges are distinct. Given a positive integer $n$ and a graph $G$, the \textit{anti-Ramsey number} $ar(n,G)$ is defined to be the minimum number of colors $r$ such that there exists a rainbow copy of $G$ in any exactly $r$-edge-coloring of $K_n$. Wu et al. (Anti-Ramsey numbers for vertex-disjoint triangles, \emph{Discrete. Math.}, \textbf{346} (2022), 113123) determined the anti-Ramsey number $ar(n, kK_3)$ for $n\g…

Artificial Intelligence, Domain AI Readiness, and Firm Productivity
Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds great promise for enhancing innovation and productivity, many firms struggle to realize its benefits. We investigate why some firms and industries succeed with AI while others do not, focusing on the degree to which an industrial domain is technologically integrated with AI, which we term "domain AI readiness". Using panel data on Chinese listed firms from 2016 to 2022, we examine how the interaction between firm-level AI capabilities and domain AI re…

GL-LowPopArt: A Nearly Instance-Wise Minimax Estimator for Generalized Low-Rank Trace Regression
We present `GL-LowPopArt`, a novel Catoni-style estimator for generalized low-rank trace regression. Building on `LowPopArt` (Jang et al., 2024), it employs a two-stage approach: nuclear norm regularization followed by matrix Catoni estimation. We establish state-of-the-art estimation error bounds, surpassing existing guarantees (Fan et al., 2019; Kang et al., 2022), and reveal a novel experimental design objective, $\mathrm{GL}(π)$. The key technical challenge is controlling bias from the non…

Climate-protecting carbon sinks of EU forests are declining
Forests cover about 40% of the EU's land area. Between 1990 and 2022, they absorbed around 10% of the continent's man-made carbon emissions. However, the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of forests, also known as carbon sinks, is becoming increasingly weaker.

A Survey of LLM-based Automated Program Repair: Taxonomies, Design Paradigms, and Applications
Large language models (LLMs) are reshaping automated program repair (APR). We categorize the recent 63 LLM-based APR systems published from January 2022 to June 2025 into four paradigms, and show how retrieval- or analysis-augmented contexts strengthen any of them. This taxonomy clarifies key trade-offs: fine-tuning delivers strong task alignment at high training cost; prompting enables rapid deployment but is limited by prompt design and context windows; procedural pipelines offer reproducible…

Investigating Energy-Dependent Anisotropy in Cosmic Rays with IceTop Surface Array
This study presents preliminary results from the analysis of cosmic-ray anisotropy using air showers detected by the IceTop surface array between 2011 and 2022. With improved statistical precision and updated Monte Carlo simulation events compared to previous IceTop reports, we investigate anisotropy patterns across four energy ranges spanning from 300 TeV to 6.9 PeV. This work extends the measurement of cosmic-ray anisotropy in the southern hemisphere to higher energies than previously achieve…

Effect of Different Concentration and Application Method of Zinc on Yield of Chickpea (Pisum Sativum L.)
This study evaluated the impact of Zinc (Zn) supplementation on the growth, yield, and seed quality of chickpea (Pisum sativum L.) under the semi-arid conditions of Kerman, Iran, across two growing seasons (2021-2022). A randomized complete block design was used with six treatments, including varying concentrations of zinc sulphate applied via foliar spraying (0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%) or irrigation (4, 8, 16 kg/ha), each applied twice-one and two months after greening.
