Assessing the Influence of Pavement Performance on Road Safety Through Crash Frequency and Severity Analysis
Road safety is impacted by a range of factors that can be categorized into human, vehicle, and roadway/environmental elements. This research explores the connection between pavement performance and road safety, particularly in relation to crash frequency and severity, using data from the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) for 2022. By merging crash data with pavement inventory data, we conduct a spatial analysis that incorporates the geographical coordinates of crash sites with the conditi…

En Lettonie, le conflit en Ukraine ravive la guerre des mémoires entre russophones et lettophones
Pour les uns, le 9 mai 1945 représente la défaite de l’Allemagne nazie face à l’Armée rouge, pour les autres, le début de « l’occupation » par l’URSS. En avril, le Parlement a interdit les rassemblements célébrant la victoire soviétique.

Spectroscopic Observations of Four Candidates for Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators. No BLAPs at High Galactic Latitudes
We have obtained spectroscopic observations for four short-period variable objects detected in ZTF, Gaia, and Pan-STARRS (ZGP) data and classified as Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators (BLAPs) in McWhirter and Lam (2022): ZGP-BLAP-03, ZGP-BLAP-04, ZGP-BLAP-10, and ZGP-BLAP-15. The variables have periods between 46 and 56 min, full amplitudes of 0.13-0.22 mag in the $r$ band, and light curve shapes typical for radially pulsating stars. Three of them were found at high galactic latitudes (|$b$&#…

Hm?!
A poll dated november 2022 ended now?!
How?! The most the polls I've got access to can last is one week.

Or more importantly, why? I mean... what's the point of having a poll up for almost 3 years?

A new type-1 transition in NGC 1346 revealed by (spectro)polarimetry
We present the first photo- and spectropolarimetric observations of the changing-look active galactic nucleus NGC~1346 taken with the Perkins telescope (November 2022, March 2025) and VLT/FORS2 (August and September 2024), which have revealed a new spectral transition. We find that NGC~1346 has reverted to its former (2001) type-1 spectral state after having been a type-2 active galactic nucleus from 2004 to 2022. More and more intense broad H$β$ (3720 $\pm$ 310 km.s$^{-1}$ full width at half …

Moving beyond harm. A critical review of how NLP research approaches discrimination
How to avoid discrimination in the context of NLP technology is one of the major challenges in the field. We propose that a different and more substantiated framing of the problem could help to find more productive approaches. In the first part of the paper we report on a case study: a qualitative review on papers published in the ACL anthologies 2022 on discriminatory behavior of NLP systems. We find that the field (i) still has a strong focus on a technological fix of algorithmic discriminati…

On Devon Allen's Disqualification at the 2022 World Track and Field Championships
Devon Allen's disqualification at the men's 110-meter hurdle final at the 2022 World Track and Field Championships, due to a reaction time (RT) of 0.099 seconds-just 0.001 seconds below the allowable threshold-sparked widespread debate over the fairness and validity of RT rules. This study investigates two key issues: variations in timing systems and the justification for the 0.1-second disqualification threshold. We pooled RT data from men's 110-meter hurdles and 100-meter dash, as well as wom…

An Empirical Comparison of Weak-IV-Robust Procedures in Just-Identified Models
Instrumental variable (IV) regression is recognized as one of the five core methods for causal inference, as identified by Angrist and Pischke (2008). This paper compares two leading approaches to inference under weak identification for just-identified IV models: the classical Anderson-Rubin (AR) procedure and the recently popular tF method proposed by Lee et al. (2022). Using replication data from the American Economic Review (AER) and Monte Carlo simulation experiments, we evaluate the two pr…

Results from the Pan-STARRS Search for Kilonovae: Contamination by Massive Stellar Outbursts
We present results from the Pan-STARRS optical search for kilonovae without the aid of gravitational wave and gamma-ray burst triggers. The search was conducted from 26 October 2019 to 15 December 2022. During this time, we reported 29,740 transients observed by Pan-STARRS to the IAU Transient Name Server. Of these, 175 were Pan-STARRS credited discoveries that had a host galaxy within 200 Mpc and had discovery absolute magnitudes M > -16.5. A subset of 11 transients was plausibly identified as…

Asteroseismology of the G8 subgiant beta Aquilae with SONG-Tenerife, SONG-Australia and TESS
We present radial velocities of the G8 subgiant star beta Aql obtained in 2022 and 2023 using SONG-Tenerife and SONG-Australia. We also analysed a sector of TESS photometry that overlapped with the 2022 SONG data. We processed the time series to assign weights and to remove bad data points. The power spectrum clearly shows solar-like oscillations centred at 430 muHz. The TESS data show the oscillations at lower signal-to-noise because photometric measurements are much more affected by the granu…

Leveraging Minute-by-Minute Soccer Match Event Data to Adjust Team's Offensive Production for Game Context
In soccer, game context can result in skewing offensive statistics in ways that might misrepresent how well a team has played. For instance, in England's 1-2 loss to France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal, England attempted considerably more shots (16 to France's 8) and more corners (5 to 2), potentially suggesting they played better despite the loss. However, these statistics were largely accumulated when France was ahead and more willing to concede offensive initiative to England. To …
