A metrization theorem for edge-end spaces of infinite graphs

A metrization theorem for edge-end spaces of infinite graphs
We prove that the edge-end space of an infinite graph is metrizable if and only if it is first-countable. This strengthens a recent result by Aurichi, Magalhaes Jr.\ and Real (2024). Our central graph-theoretic tool is the use of tree-cut decompositions, introduced by Wollan (2015) as a variation of tree decompositions that is based on edge cuts instead of vertex separations. In particular, we give a new, elementary proof for Kurkofka's result (2022) that every infinite graph has a tree-cut d…

Characterizing Online Activities Contributing to Suicide Mortality among Youth
The recent rise in youth suicide highlights the urgent need to understand how online experiences contribute to this public health issue. Our mixed-methods approach responds to this challenge by developing a set of themes focused on risk factors for suicide mortality in online spaces among youth ages 10-24, and a framework to model these themes at scale. Using 29,124 open text summaries of death investigations between 2013-2022, we conducted a thematic analysis to identify 12 types of online act…

Observation of VER J2019+368 with the SST-1M stereoscopic system
The Single-Mirror Small Size Telescope (SST-1M) is a small Cherenkov telescope designed to detect gamma rays with energies more than about 1 TeV. The optical design of the SST-1M follows the Davies-Cotton concept to ensure good off-axis performance. In 2022, two SST-1M telescope prototypes were installed in Ondrejov, Czech Republic, and stereoscopic observations of astrophysical gamma-ray sources have been performed since then. VER J2019+368 is an unidentified very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray s…

Low complexity convergence rate bounds for push-sum algorithms with homogeneous correlation structure
The objective of this work is to establish an upper bound for the almost sure convergence rate for a class of push-sum algorithms. The current work extends the methods and results of the authors on a similar low-complexity bound on push-sum algorithms with some particular synchronous message passing schemes and complements the general approach of Gerencsér and Gerencsér from 2022 providing an exact, but often less accessible description. Furthermore, a parametric analysis is presented on the …

The role of large language models in UI/UX design: A systematic literature review
This systematic literature review examines the role of large language models (LLMs) in UI/UX design, synthesizing findings from 38 peer-reviewed studies published between 2022 and 2025. We identify key LLMs in use, including GPT-4, Gemini, and PaLM, and map their integration across the design lifecycle, from ideation to evaluation. Common practices include prompt engineering, human-in-the-loop workflows, and multimodal input. While LLMs are reshaping design processes, challenges such as halluci…

Researchers identify 22 key areas for protecting struggling giant otters
“They’re big, like an overweight Peruvian dog,” is how photographer Santiago Romaní describes giant otters (Pteronura brasiliensis). In 2022, on his trip to the Imiría Regional Conservation Area, a protected area in the Ucayali region of Peru’s east-central Amazon, he observed the aquatic river giants. That same year, the area’s administration confirmed the presence of […]

at_migrations: Austrian internal migrations (2002-2022)
A network of migrations between municipalities in Austria, from 2002 to 2022. A weighted directed link from source to target indicates a migration flow from these two municipalities. Edges are annotated with migration volume (number of people), nationality, sex, and year.
This network has 2115 nodes and 2908569 edges.

Improved bounds on the $H$-rank of a mixed graph in terms of the matching number and fractional matching number

Improved bounds on the $H$-rank of a mixed graph in terms of the matching number and fractional matching number
A mixed graph $\widetilde{G}$ is obtained by orienting some edges of a graph $G$, where $G$ is the underlying graph of $\widetilde{G}$. Let $r(\widetilde{G})$ be the $H$-rank of $\widetilde{G}$. Denote by $r(G)$, $κ(G)$, $m(G)$ and $m^{\ast}(G)$ the rank, the number of even cycles, the matching number and the fractional matching number of $G$, respectively. Zhou et al. [Discrete Appl. Math. 313 (2022)] proved that $2m(G)-2κ(G)\leq r(G)\leq 2m(G)+ρ(G)$, where $ρ(G)$ is the largest number of …

Update on the intermediate arrival-direction analyses of the Pierre Auger Observatory
We present an update on the arrival-direction analyses conducted on intermediate angular scales using the complete Phase I data of the Pierre Auger Observatory up to the end of $2022$ with a total exposure of $135{,}000\,\text{km}^2\,\text{sr}\,\text{yr}$. We show the arrival-direction distribution of the ultra-high-energy cosmic rays along the supergalactic plane above $20\,\text{EeV}$, and an update in the search for magnetically-induced signatures in the arrival directions. Furthermore, we p…

Google Search Advertising after Dobbs v. Jackson
Search engines have become the gateway to information, products, and services, including those concerning healthcare. Access to reproductive health has been especially complicated in the wake of the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, splintering abortion regulations among the states. In this study, we performed an audit of the advertisements shown to Google Search users seeking information about abortion across the United States during the year following t…
