We found that the event is best explained by the binary-lens binary-source (2L2S) model, but the 2L2S model is only favored over the triple-lens single-source (3L1S) model by $Δχ^{2} \simeq 9$.

The Composition of Digital Twins for Systems-of-Systems: a Systematic Literature Review
Digital Twins (DTs) are increasingly used to model complex systems, especially in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and System-of-Systems (SoS), where effective integration is key. This systematic literature review investigates DT composition and verification and validation (V&V) methodologies. Analyzing 21 studies from 2022-2024, we examined composition mechanisms, SoS characteristics, and V&V formality, scope, and challenges. While composition is discussed, formalization is limited.

This week, in 2022, gold miners in the Yukon discovered a near complete, mummified baby woolly mammoth. The Yukon has a world-renowned fossil record of ice age animals, but mummified remains with skin and hair are rarely unearthed. Geologists, with the Yukon Geological Survey and the University of Calgary, traveled 6 hours to the site and retrieved the remains less than an hour before a storm struck.

On the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado problem of flags with type $\{1, n-3 \}$ of finite sets

On the Erdős-Ko-Rado problem of flags with type $\{1, n-3 \}$ of finite sets
A flag of a finite set $S$ is a set $f$ of non-empty, proper subsets of $S$, such that $X\subseteq Y$ or $Y\subseteq X$ for all $X,Y\in f$. Two flags $f_1$ and $f_2$ of $S$ are opposite if $X_1\cap X_2=\emptyset$, or $X_1\cup X_2=S$ for all $X_1\in f_1$ and $X_2\in f_2$. The set $\{|X| \mid X\in f \}$ is the type of a flag $f$. A set of pairwise non-opposite flags is an Erdős-Ko-Rado set. In 2022 Metsch posed the problem of determining the maximum size of all Erdős-Ko-Rado sets of f…

Improving Student-AI Interaction Through Pedagogical Prompting: An Example in Computer Science Education

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…

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 …

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.
