Measurements of All-Particle Energy Spectrum and Mean Logarithmic Mass of Cosmic Rays from 0.3 to 30 PeV with LHAASO-KM2A
We present the measurements of all-particle energy spectrum and mean logarithmic mass of cosmic rays in the energy range of 0.3-30 PeV using data collected from LHAASO-KM2A between September 2021 and December 2022, which is based on a nearly composition-independent energy reconstruction method, achieving unprecedented accuracy. Our analysis reveals the position of the knee at $3.67 \pm 0.05 \pm 0.15$ PeV. Below the knee, the spectral index is found to be -$2.7413 \pm 0.0004 \pm 0.0050$, while a…

Oscillatory and chaotic pattern dynamics driven by surface curvature
Patterns on curved surfaces are ubiquitous, yet the influence of surface geometry on pattern dynamics remains elusive. We recently reported a new mechanism of pattern propagation in which a static pattern on a flat plane becomes a propagating pattern on a curved surface [Nishide and Ishihara, Phys. Rev. Lett. 2022]. Here, we address whether surface curvature can drive more complex pattern dynamics beyond propagation. By employing a combination of weakly nonlinear analysis and numerical simulati…

Concerning S$H_0$ES Data: Discrepant $W_{0,VI}$ Absolute Magnitudes for Cepheids in the Keystone Galaxy NGC4258
S$H_0$ES $VI$-band photometry for classical Cepheids in the keystone galaxy NGC4258 yield discrepant absolute magnitudes. Specifically, the 2016 and 2022 published S$H_0$ES Cepheid data for NGC4258 exhibit a substantial offset of $ΔW_{0,VI}\simeq0^{\rm m}.3$. That adds to a suite of existing concerns associated with the S$H_0$ES analysis, which in sum imply that their relatively non-changing Hubble constant for nearly twenty years warrants scrutiny.

The San Francisco 49ers could again look to a former New England Patriots quarterback to add to their roster for the 2024 season.

He would stay there for the 2022 season, leading the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance for the 2019 season. Following Garoppolo’s departure to the Las Vegas Raiders last season, Shanahan …

The San Francisco 49ers selected Brock Purdy as the last overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Back then, with Trey Lance expected to start as quarterback and Nate Sudfeld as his backup, many likely doubted Purdy's ability to secure a roster spot. Even the 49ers admit to drafting Purdy with the hope of developing the young quarterback into a serviceable backup. They never anticipated the rookie's speedy NFL ascension. Fast forward to today, and Purdy is gearing up to lead the 49ers against the Ka…

While we prove that the heuristic does not necessarily return an optimal solution, we obtain very promising results for all tested dimensions. For example, for moderate point set sizes $30 \leq n \leq 240$ in dimension 6, we obt…

We study strong approximation of scalar additive noise driven stochastic differential equations (SDEs) at time point $1$ in the case that the drift coefficient is bounded and has Sobolev regularity $s\in(0,1)$. Recently, it has been shown in [arXiv:2101.12185v2 (2022)] that for such SDEs the equidistant Euler approximation achieves an $L^2$-error rate of at least $(1+s)/2$, up to an arbitrary small $\varepsilon$, in terms of the number of evaluations of the driving Brownian motion $W$.

Persistent Upflows and Downflows at Active Region boundaries Observed by SUTRI and AIA
Upflows and downflows at active region (AR) boundaries have been frequently observed with spectroscopic observations at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) passbands. In this paper, we report the coexistence of upflows and downflows at the AR boundaries with imaging observations from the Solar Upper Transition Region Imager (SUTRI) and the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA). With their observations from 2022 September 21 to 2022 September 30, we find 17 persistent opposite flows occurring along the AR co…

Potentialisations of a class of fully-nonlinear symmetry-integrable evolution equations
We consider here the class of fully-nonlinear symmetry-integrable third-order evolution equations in 1+1 dimensions that were proposed recently in {\it Open Communications in Nonlinear Mathematical Physics}, vol. 2, 216--228 (2022). In particular, we report all zero-order and higher-order potentialisations for this class of equations using their integrating factors (or multipliers) up to order four. Chains of connecting evolution equations are also obtained by multi-potentialisations.

Can You Learn Semantics Through Next-Word Prediction? The Case of Entailment
Do LMs infer the semantics of text from co-occurrence patterns in their training data? Merrill et al. (2022) argue that, in theory, probabilities predicted by an optimal LM encode semantic information about entailment relations, but it is unclear whether neural LMs trained on corpora learn entailment in this way because of strong idealizing assumptions made by Merrill et al. In this work, we investigate whether their theory can be used to decode entailment judgments from neural LMs. We find tha…

Oscillatory and chaotic pattern dynamics driven by surface curvature
Patterns on curved surfaces are ubiquitous, yet the influence of surface geometry on pattern dynamics remains elusive. We recently reported a new mechanism of pattern propagation in which a static pattern on a flat plane becomes a propagating pattern on a curved surface [Nishide and Ishihara, Phys. Rev. Lett. 2022]. Here, we address whether surface curvature can drive more complex pattern dynamics beyond propagation. By employing a combination of weakly nonlinear analysis and numerical simulati…

Dodging the electricity price hike: Can demand-side flexibility compensate for spot price increases for households in Germany?

Dodging the electricity price hike: Can demand-side flexibility compensate for spot price increases for households in Germany?
In 2022, energy prices skyrocketed across Europe, with average day-ahead spot market prices in Germany 2.43 times higher than the previous year, hinting at future trends. At the same time, electricity infrastructure is expected to be overutilized in some regions in the future due to the uptake of electric vehicles, heat pumps, PV systems, and other appliances in the residential sector. Dynamic electricity pricing for households is proposed as a solution to alleviate infrastructure strain and re…

Watch: Cowboys star finds out laughably late that Dan Quinn is with Commanders
It was first reported last Thursday that Dan Quinn was being hired as the Washington Commanders next head coach. Dallas Cowboys star running back Tony Pollard found out about the team's former defensive coordinator's departure on Wednesday, six days after nearly everyone else did. Pollard told "The Pat McAfee Show" on Wednesday that he got rid of his social media accounts during the 2023 season, so he was unaware of Quinn's move until his midweek appearance on the program. The 2022 Pro Bowler s…

So schön. Wir sind hier mit der Bahn und dem Rad und alle anderen stehen noch im Stau. Die Menschen sind halt doof. Die meisten. Hier ein Video von 2022. Wir sind mit dem Rad an einer Bahnstrecke langgefahren. Am Stau vorbei, der da so Schritttempo fuhr.

Basic properties of generalized $ψ$-estimators
We establish several properties of (weighted) generalized $ψ$-estimators introduced by Barczy and Páles in 2022: mean-type, monotonicity and sensitivity properties, bisymmetry-type inequality and some asymptotic and continuity properties as well. We also illustrate these properties by providing several examples including statistical ones as well.

Partial Mobilization: Tracking Multilingual Information Flows Amongst Russian Media Outlets and Telegram
In response to disinformation and propaganda from Russian online media following the invasion of Ukraine, Russian media outlets such as Russia Today and Sputnik News were banned throughout Europe. To maintain viewership, many of these Russian outlets began to heavily promote their content on messaging services like Telegram. In this work, we study how 16 Russian media outlets interacted with and utilized 732 Telegram channels throughout 2022. Leveraging the foundational model MPNet, DP-means cl…
