A high-order explicit Runge-Kutta approximation technique for the Shallow Water Equations
We introduce a high-order space-time approximation of the Shallow Water Equations with sources that is invariant-domain preserving (IDP) and well-balanced with respect to rest states. The employed time-stepping technique is a novel explicit Runge-Kutta (ERK) approach which is an extension of the class of ERK-IDP methods introduced by Ern and Guermond (SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 44(5), A3366--A3392, 2022) for systems of non-linear conservation equations. The resulting method is then numerically illust…

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…

Stress relaxation and thermo-visco-elastic effects in fluid-filled slits and fluid-loaded plates
In this paper, we theoretically analyse wave propagation in two canonical problems of interest: fluid-filled thermo-visco-elastic slits and fluid-loaded thermo-visco-elastic plates. We show that these two configurations can be studied via the same pair of dispersion equations with the aid of the framework developed in [https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2022.0193], which incoporates thermal effects. These two problems are further interrelated, since in the short wavelength limit (relative to the slit…

Connectivity keeping trees in 3-connected bipartite graphs with girth conditions
Luo, Tian and Wu conjectured in 2022 that for any tree $T$ with bipartition $X$ and $Y$, every $k$-connected bipartite graph $G$ with $δ(G) \geq k + t$, where $t = \max\{|X|,|Y |\}$, contains a subtree $T' \cong T$ such that $G-V(T')$ remains $k$-connected. This conjecture has been proved for caterpillars and spiders when $k\leq 3$; and for paths with odd order. In this paper, we prove that this conjecture holds if $G$ is a bipartite graph with $g(G)\geq diam(T)-1$ and $k\l…

We propose a method to obtain superresolution of turbulent statistics for three-dimensional ensemble particle tracking velocimetry (EPTV).

The median per-observation RV uncertainty is 0.037 km/s, and some reach 0.002 km/s. Non-variable standard stars characterize RV zero-point stability and provide a base for future cross-calibrations. We determined zero-point differences between VELOCE and 31 literat…

Connectivity keeping trees in 3-connected bipartite graphs with girth conditions
Luo, Tian and Wu conjectured in 2022 that for any tree $T$ with bipartition $X$ and $Y$, every $k$-connected bipartite graph $G$ with $δ(G) \geq k + t$, where $t = \max\{|X|,|Y |\}$, contains a subtree $T' \cong T$ such that $G-V(T')$ remains $k$-connected. This conjecture has been proved for caterpillars and spiders when $k\leq 3$; and for paths with odd order. In this paper, we prove that this conjecture holds if $G$ is a bipartite graph with $g(G)\geq diam(T)-1$ and $k\l…

Oceanic influence on Large-Scale Atmospheric Convection during co-occurring La Nina and IOD events
The ISMR profoundly impacts over a billion people across the region. ISMR extremes have been linked to the ENSO and modulated by the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). ISMR of 2022 displayed intriguing spatial patterns: above-normal precipitation over the south peninsula and central India, normal over Northwest India, and below-normal over East and NE India. In 2022, La Nina conditions associated with a negative IOD (nIOD), were prevalent over the equatorial Pacific Ocean (PO) and IO. This study invest…

Former Dallas Cowboys Player Takes Shot At Old Team
After being franchise-tagged by the Dallas Cowboys in 2022, tight end Dalton Schultz hit the open market in 2023 and landed with the Houston Texans. While his market wasn’t as strong as he was hoping it would be, he eventually landed the multi-year deal he was seeking this offseason. Schultz agreed to a three-year, $36 million deal with the Texans after a very successful first season with the franchise. In 2023, he caught 59 passes for 635 yards and five touchdowns, becoming one of C.J. Strou…

Optical and soft X-ray light-curve analysis during the 2022 eruption of U Scorpii: structural changes in the accretion disk
We present our optical photometric observations of the 2022 eruption of the recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco) using 49,152 data points over 70 d following the optical peak. We have also analyzed its soft X-ray (0.3--1 keV) light curve by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. During the 2022 eruption, the optical plateau stage started 13.8--15.0 d and ended 23.8--25.0 d after the optical peak. The soft X-ray stage started 14.6--15.3 d and ended 38.7--39.5 d after the optical peak. Both stages start…

Phase transition of the long range Ising model in lower dimensions, for $d < α\leq d + 1$, with a Peierls argument
We extend previous results due to Ding and Zhuang in order to prove that a phase transition occurs for the long range Ising model in lower dimensions. By making use of a recent argument due to Affonso, Bissacot and Maia from 2022 which establishes that a phase transition occurs for the long range, random-field Ising model, from a suggestion of the authors we demonstrate that a phase transition also occurs for the long range Ising model, from a set of appropriately defined contours for the long …

Internet sentiment exacerbates intraday overtrading, evidence from A-Share market
Market fluctuations caused by overtrading are important components of systemic market risk. This study examines the effect of investor sentiment on intraday overtrading activities in the Chinese A-share market. Employing high-frequency sentiment indices inferred from social media posts on the Eastmoney forum Guba, the research focuses on constituents of the CSI 300 and CSI 500 indices over a period from 01/01/2018, to 12/30/2022. The empirical analysis indicates that investor sentiment exerts a…

On 13-Crossing-Critical Graphs with Arbitrarily Large Degrees
A recent result of Bokal et al. [Combinatorica, 2022] proved that the exact minimum value of c such that c-crossing-critical graphs do not have bounded maximum degree is c=13. The key to that result is an inductive construction of a family of 13-crossing-critical graphs with many vertices of arbitrarily high degrees. While the inductive part of the construction is rather easy, it all relies on the fact that a certain 17-vertex base graph has the crossing number 13, which was originally verified…

Automated Attack Synthesis for Constant Product Market Makers
Decentralized Finance enables many novel applications that were impossible in traditional finances. However, it also introduces new types of vulnerabilities, such as composability bugs. The composability bugs refer to issues that lead to erroneous behaviors when multiple smart contracts operate together. One typical example of composability bugs is those between token contracts and Constant Product Market Makers (CPMM), the most widely used model for Decentralized Exchanges. Since 2022, 23 expl…

783 million people face chronic hunger, UN says
A new United Nations report estimates that 19% of the food produced around the world went to waste in 2022. That's a little more than 1 billion metric tons of food that could have helped feed the hundreds of millions of people who live with hunger every day. The biggest share of that waste, about 60%, came in households. Almost 30% came in food service operations, such as restaurants. The updated Food Waste Index out Wednesday comes three years after the U.N.'s first attempt to quantify the pro…
