"Literature in Context evolved from two independent projects, one by John O’Brien at The University of Virginia, and one by Tonya Howe, at Marymount University. O’Brien and Howe joined forces in 2017 and successfully applied for a Level II Advancement Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities Office of Digital Humanities in collaboration with Christine Ruotolo, Director of Research in the Arts and Humanities at The University of Virginia Libraries (HAA-258768-18). In 2022, the project was awarded a second grant from the NEH ODH (HAA-290349-23), as well as an Open Course Grant from VIVA, Virginia’s academic library consortium. In April 2025, the second federal grant was terminated, along with many others, by DOGE."

Russia’s Ministry of Justice designated Human Rights Watch
an “undesirable organization”
on Nov. 28,
effectively banning the group from operating in the country.
Human Rights Watch noted that Russia had already forced the closure of its Moscow office in 2022.
“Our work hasn’t changed, but what’s changed, dramatically, is the government’s full-throttled embrace of dictatorial policies,
its staggering rise in repression,
and the scope of the war crimes…

Study outlines steps for California to reach net-zero emissions by 2045
A 2022 California law mandates net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 and negative emissions every year thereafter. The state can achieve this but will have to act quickly and thoroughly, and success will require new technologies for sectors difficult to decarbonize, a new Stanford University study finds. The state will need to decarbonize not only cars and electricity but also trucks, trains, planes, agriculture, and factories, while slashing pollution from its oil refineries.

The Functional Machine Calculus III: Control
The Functional Machine Calculus (Heijltjes 2022) is a new approach to unifying the imperative and functional programming paradigms. It extends the lambda-calculus, preserving the key features of confluent reduction and typed termination, to embed computational effects, evaluation strategies, and control flow operations. The first instalment modelled sequential higher-order computation with global store, input/output, probabilities, and non-determinism, and embedded both the call-by-name and cal…

Improved Clifford operations in constant commutative depth
The commutative depth model allows gates that commute with each other to be performed in parallel. We show how to compute Clifford operations in constant commutative depth more efficiently than was previously known. Bravyi, Maslov, and Nam [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129:230501, 2022] showed that every element of the Clifford group (on $n$ qubits) can be computed in commutative depth 23 and size $O(n^2)$. We show that the Prefix Sum problem can be computed in commutative depth 16 and size $O(n \log n)$, …
