Magneto-Thermal Coupling and Coronal Heating in Solar Active Regions Inferred from Microwave Observations
The solar corona is much hotter than the photosphere and chromosphere, but the physical mechanism responsible for heating the coronal plasma remains unidentified yet. The thermal microwave emission, which is produced in strong magnetic field above sunspots, is a promising but barely exploited tool for studying the coronal magnetic field and plasma. We analyzed the microwave observations of eight solar active regions obtained with the Siberian Radioheliograph in years 2022-2024 in the frequency …

Pushing Blocks without Fixed Blocks via Checkable Gizmos: Push-1 is PSPACE-Complete
We prove PSPACE-completeness of Push-1: given a rectangular grid of 1 x 1 cells, each possibly occupied by a movable block, can a robot move from a specified location to another, given the ability to push up to one block at a time? In particular, we remove the need for fixed (unmovable) blocks in a previous result (FUN 2022), which seems to require a completely different reduction. This fundamental model of block pushing, introduced in 1999, abstracts the mechanics of many video games. It was s…

Bibliometrics, whether used for research or research evaluation, relies on large multidisciplinary databases of research outputs and citation indices.

Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.

Symbolic dynamics, shadowing and representation of real numbers with some countably piecewise linear Markov maps
We study piecewise linear Markov maps, with countable Markov partitions, inspired by a problem of the Miklós Schweitzer competition of the János Bolyai Mathematical Society in 2022. We introduce $\ell$-Markov partitions and apply ideas of symbolic dynamics to our systems, relating them to Markov shifts. We prove the shadowing property for the system from the competition. We also investigate the possible orbits of rational numbers, for a class of piecewise linear Markov maps which generalize o…

The Incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier Limits from Boltzmann-Fermi-Dirac Equation for Low Regularity Data
We consider the hydrodynamic limits of the quantum Boltzmann equation with Fermi-Dirac statistics for hard sphere and hard potentials in the whole space. By analyzing the spectrum of the linearized collision operator combined with the transport operator and its associated semigroup, the incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier limits from the BFD equation is verified rigorously. Compared to the results in [Jiang-Xiong-Zhou,J. Differ. Equ.,2022], this paper works with a lower regularity for the init…

Linear recoloring diameter of degenerate chordal graphs and bounded treewidth graphs
Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and $t$ an integer. The reconfiguration graph of $G$, denoted by $R_t(G)$, consists of all $t$-colorings of $G$ and two $t$-colorings are adjacent if they differ on exactly one vertex. The $t$-recoloring diameter of $G$ is the diameter of $R_t(G)$. For a $d$-degenerate graph $G$, $R_t(G)$ is connected when $t \ge d+2$~(Dyer et al., 2006). Furthermore, the $t$-recoloring diameter is $O(n^2)$ when $t \ge 3(d+1)/2$~(Bousquet et al., 2022), and it is $O(n)$ when $…

An adaptive procedure for detecting replicated signals with $k$-family-wise error rate control
Partial conjunction (PC) hypothesis testing is widely used to assess the replicability of scientific findings across multiple comparable studies. In high-throughput meta-analyses, testing a large number of PC hypotheses with k-family-wise error rate (k-FWER) control often suffers from low statistical power due to the multiplicity burden. The state-of-the-art AdaFilter-Bon procedure by Wang et al. (2022, Ann. Stat., 50(4), 1890-1909) alleviates this problem by filtering out hypotheses unlikely t…

On the extremal functions of second order uncertainty principles: symmetry and symmetry breaking
This paper focus on the symmetry and symmetry breaking about the second order Hydrogen Uncertainty Principle. \emph{Firstly}, by choosing a suitable test function, we give a negative answer to the conjecture presented by Cazacu, Flynn and Lam in [\emph{J. Funct. Anal.} \textbf{283} (2022), Paper No. 109659, 37 pp] for $N\in\{2,3\}$, and emphasizing the symmetry breaking phenomenon. \emph{Secondly}, we obtain a family of sharp weighted second order Hydrogen Uncertainty Principle, and prove the e…

faculty_hiring_us: Faculty hiring networks in the US (2022)
Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …

The spectral Tur\'{a}n problem: Characterizing spectral-consistent graphs

The spectral Turán problem: Characterizing spectral-consistent graphs
Let ${\rm EX}(n,H)$ and ${\rm SPEX}(n,H)$ denote the families of $n$-vertex $H$-free graphs with the maximum size and the maximum spectral radius, respectively. A graph $H$ is said to be spectral-consistent if ${\rm SPEX}(n,H)\subseteq {\rm EX}(n,H)$ for sufficiently large $n$. A fundamental problem in spectral extremal graph theory is to determine which graphs are spectral-consistent. Cioabă, Desai and Tait [European J. Combin. 99 (2022) 103420] proposed the following conjecture: Let $H$ be…

A November 2024 report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) reflects staggering numbers:
There are an estimated 96 million #birders in the United States
—more than a third of U.S. adults
—who together spent more than $107 billion in 2022.
In total, that’s more money than the 2022 gross domestic product of New Hampshire (and 10 other U.S. states).

Sept ans ont passé depuis ce post.
Et pourtant, la justice n’a toujours pas terminé son travail.
En Belgique, le jugement définitif est tombé en 2022. Mais en 2025, certaines indemnisations sont encore bloquées. Des victimes attendent toujours que leur souffrance soit reconnue dans les faits, pas seulement dans les mots.
En France, l’affaire OKC/Spatz a été relancée en 2017, réouverte officiellement en 2021. Et aujourd’hui ? Toujours aucune mis…
