Insights on the Optical and Infrared Nature of MAXI J0709-159: Implications for High-Mass X-ray Binaries
In our previous study (Bhattacharyya et al., 2022), HD~54786, the optical counterpart of the MAXI J0709-159 system, was identified to be an evolved star, departing from the main sequence, based on comparisons with non-X-ray binary systems. In this paper, using color-magnitude diagram (CMD) analysis for High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) and statistical t-tests, we found evidence supporting HD 54786's potential membership in both Be/X-ray binaries (BeXRBs) and supergaint X-ray binaries (SgXBs) pop…

The study of matter fields on an ensemble of random geometries is a difficult problem still in need of new methods and ideas.

This proposal relies heavily on a construction involving Boolean algebras.

In this article, by prescribing a suitable set of basic operations on contracts, …

In May 2022, mpox (formerly monkeypox) spread to non-endemic countries rapidly. Human judgment is a forecasting approach that has been sparsely evaluated during the beginning of an outbreak. We collected -- between May 19, 2022 and July 31, 2022 -- 1275 forecasts from 442 individuals of six questions about the mpox outbreak where ground truth data are now available. Individual human judgment forecasts and an equally weighted ensemble were evaluated, as well as compared to a random walk, autoreg…

Furthermore we present a novel blow up result for finite energy solutions satisfying a sign condition …

John's blow up examples and scattering solutions for semi-linear wave equations
In light of recent work of the third author, we revisit a classic example given by Fritz John of a semi-linear wave equation which exhibits finite in time blow up for all compactly supported data. We present the construction of future global solutions from asymptotic data given in arXiv:2204.12870(2022) for this specific example, and clarify the relation of this result of Yu to John's theorem. Furthermore we present a novel blow up result for finite energy solutions satisfying a sign condition …

Semialgebraic Range Stabbing, Ray Shooting, and Intersection Counting in the Plane
Polynomial partitioning techniques have recently led to improved geometric data structures for a variety of fundamental problems related to semialgebraic range searching and intersection searching in 3D and higher dimensions (e.g., see [Agarwal, Aronov, Ezra, and Zahl, SoCG 2019; Ezra and Sharir, SoCG 2021; Agarwal, Aronov, Ezra, Katz, and Sharir, SoCG 2022]). They have also led to improved algorithms for offline versions of semialgebraic range searching in 2D, via lens-cutting [Sharir and Zahl…

Einstein Telescope: Detection of Binary Black Hole Gravitational Wave Signals Using Deep Learning
Expanding upon our prior work (Alhassan et al. 2022), where we evaluated the performance of single sub-detector data (SSDD) from the Einstein Telescope (ET) for binary black hole (BBH) detection using deep learning (DL). In this study, we explore the detection efficiency of BBHs using data combined from all three proposed sub-detectors of ET (TSDCD), employing five different lower frequency cutoffs ($F_{\text{low}}$): 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 15 Hz, 20 Hz, and 30 Hz, while maintaining the same match-filter…
