Guerre en Ukraine : le grand désarroi des russophones de Daugavpils, en Lettonie
Dans cette ville située près des frontières russe et biélorusse, la guerre en Ukraine déchire les familles, la population se divisant entre Russes ou russophones et Lettons. Vers qui doivent-ils se tourner ?

Running cars on E-Fuels, made with CO2 from the air and green Hydrogen?🚗⛽🌿⚡
E-Fuels, so the story goes, could allow using existing cars and infrastructure like gas stations. However, E-Fuels are extremely inefficient.
In 2022, Siemens Energy, Porsche, and the Chilean company HIF inaugurated the Haru Oni pilot plant in Chile's windy Magallanes region, which turns CO2 and Hydrogen into Methanol and small amounts of Gasoline. How's it going? 🧵

What's up with the Production of E-Fuels in Chile?
In 2022, Siemens Energy, Porsche, and HIF inaugurated a pilot plant for the production of E-Methanol and E-Gasoline in southern Chile. The Haru Oni plant was intended to be just the beginning — with plans for large-scale production just a few years later. However, it does not look like that will ever happen.

The prime number theorem over integers of power-free polynomial values
Let $f(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial of degree $d\ge 1$. Let $k\ge2$ be an integer. The number of integers $n$ such that $f(n)$ is $k$-free is widely studied in the literature. In principle, one expects that $f(n)$ is $k$-free infinitely often, if $f$ has no fixed $k$-th power divisor. In 2022, Bergelson and Richter established a new dynamical generalization of the prime number theorem (PNT). Inspired by their work, one may expect that this generalization of the PNT also hol…

Finally finished #Andor and I say it without a doubt: it is the most important (perhaps the best) Star Wars content since the original trilogy. I'm so happy that I got to see it but at the same time it's a shame that (probably) nothing like this would be made ever again.
Some more deep thoughts here:

A ★★★★★ review of Andor: A Disney+ Day Special Look (2022)
There is no other way to put this: Andor is the most important and most significant Star Wars content ever since the original trilogy. Perhaps even better. At it's core, the original Star Wars trilogy it's about the fight against an authoritarian regime. Certainly influenced by the impact of the Vietnam War and WWII. Although presented in a way that it's suitable for all audiences. Andor takes this premise and takes it to the extreme, to the brutality of war and rebellion, and to the hope and h…

Demand for LNG in Europe dropped by 18 per cent between 2022 and 2024, and Canadian exports would have a hard time competing in Asian markets, says advocacy group Investors for Paris Compliance. “Investing in infrastructure that will be very expensive and likely won’t be profitable will weaken our economy rather than strengthen it,” Renaud Gignac, an economist and senior adviser for the group, said in an interview.

New report casts doubt on potential revival of Quebec LNG project
Reviving a liquefied natural gas export project in Quebec's Saguenay region would be costly and likely unprofitable, a shareholder advocacy group says.

Update: Progress toward fusion energy breakeven and gain as measured against the Lawson criteria
This paper is an update to our earlier paper ''Progress toward fusion energy breakeven and gain as measured against the Lawson criterion'' [Phys. Plasmas 29, 062103 (2022)]. Plots of Lawson parameter and triple product vs. ion temperature and triple product vs. date achieved are updated with recently published experimental results. A new plot of scientific energy gain vs. date achieved is included. Additionally, notes on new experimental results, clarifications, and a correction are included.

Thoughts on Fosstodon
I'm moving to hachyderm.io. Here's the background... When I left Twitter for Mastodon in late 2022, I chose fosstodon.org as my home. I appreciated the open source focus and it seemed like a well-run instance that would be around for a while. I also signed up as a monthly patron, to support the admin team and help keep the instance sustainable. In recent days, there has been a minor furor across the fediverse related to one of the moderators at…

Physiology-Informed Generative Multi-Task Network for Contrast-Free CT Perfusion
Perfusion imaging is extensively utilized to assess hemodynamic status and tissue perfusion in various organs. Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging plays a key role in the early assessment and planning of stroke treatment. While CTP provides essential perfusion parameters to identify abnormal blood flow in the brain, the use of contrast agents in CTP can lead to allergic reactions and adverse side effects, along with costing USD 4.9 billion worldwide in 2022. To address these challenges,…

The Role of Intangible Investment in Predicting Stock Returns: Six Decades of Evidence
Using an intangible intensity factor that is orthogonal to the Fama--French factors, we compare the role of intangible investment in predicting stock returns over the periods 1963--1992 and 1993--2022. For 1963--1992, intangible investment is weak in predicting stock returns, but for 1993--2022, the predictive power of intangible investment becomes very strong. Intangible investment has a significant impact not only on the MTB ratio (Fama--French high minus low [HML] factor) but also on operati…

У убийц, которые бросили на Сумы кассетную боеголовку, вряд ли есть какой-то план. Разве что самый дурацкий вроде того, что был в феврале 2022 года, когда колонна Росгвардии выдвинулась на Киев, взяв с собой дубинки, щиты и парадную форму, ожидая встречи с цветами. Убийцы заняты любимым делом, потому что могут и потому что им нравится.
При этом я думаю, что рассчет, сформулированный Путиным в Мурманске, на пике ожиданий от мирных переговоров, что надо "додавить" и "добить…
