Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

The impact of the European Union's enlargement with the Western Balkans and the Association Trio on the power of member states in the Council
As of 2022, the European Union has taken several steps regarding enlargement. We focus on the accession of countries with which the Union is actively negotiating membership. This is examined under two enlargement scenarios: first, the enlargement along the lines of the Western Balkan countries, and second, the accession of a trio (Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia) to the already enlarged Union. We determine the a priori power of the member states based on the Banzhaf and Shapley--Shubik indices. V…

From Revolution to Ruin: An Empirical Analysis Yemen's State Collapse
We assess the broad repercussions of Yemen's 2011 revolution and subsequent civil war on its macroeconomic trajectories, human development, and quality of governance by constructing counterfactual benchmarks using a balanced panel of 37 developing countries over 1990-2022. Drawing on matrix-completion estimators with alternative shrinkage regimes and a LASSO-augmented synthetic-control method, we generate Yemen's hypothetical no-conflict paths for key macroeconomic aggregates, demographic and h…

On the Maximum Spread of Directed Graphs
Given a directed graph $G$, the spread of $G$ is the largest distance between any two eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. In 2022, Breen, Riasanovsky, Tait, and Urschel asked what $n$-vertex directed graph maximizes spread, and whether this graph is undirected. We prove the more general result that the spread of any $n \times n$ non-negative matrix $A$ with $\|A\|_{\max} \le 1$ is at most $2n/\sqrt{3}$, which is tight up to an additive factor and exact when $n$ is a multiple of three…

Using a panel of 113 countries (1995 2022), we combine: (i) the economic ideology of the executive branch (V Dem), (ii) the disaggregated institutional quality of the economic freedom index (Heritage), separating a core institutional block (HN: property rights, government integrity, judicial effectiveness) from a block of liberalization policies (HL: trade/financial openness, regulatory efficiency, size of g…

Integral $ab$ $initio$/DFT and experimental TDPAC approach enlightening the $aftereffects$ phenomenon: probing electronic properties in $α$-Al$_2$O$_3$:$^{111}$In($\rightarrow$ $^{111}$Cd) at the atomic scale
By means of an integral experimental and $ab$ $initio$/DFT approach we contribute here to enlighten and quantify the origin of dynamic hyperfine interactions (HFIs) assigned to the electron-capture (EC) decay aftereffects (ECAE) phenomenon observed in time-differential perturbed $γ$-$γ$ angular correlation (TDPAC) experiments in oxides doped with ($^{111}$In (EC)$\rightarrow$)$^{111}$Cd as probe-atom.

Weak Nearly $\mathcal S$- and Weak Nearly $\mathcal C$- Manifolds

Weak Nearly $\mathcal S$- and Weak Nearly $\mathcal C$- Manifolds
The recent interest of geometers in the $f$-structures of K. Yano (1961) is motivated by the study of the dynamics of contact foliations, as well as their applications in theoretical physics. Weak metric $f$-structures on a smooth manifold, introduced by of the author and R. Wolak (2022), open a new perspective on the theory of classical structures. In the paper, we define structures of this kind, called weak nearly ${\cal S}$- and weak nearly ${\cal C}$- structures, study their geometry, e.g. …

Straddling Two Platforms: From Twitter to Mastodon, an Analysis of the Evolution of an Unfinished Social Media Migration
Social media have been fundamental in the daily lives of millions of people, but they have raised concerns about content moderation policies, the management of personal data, and their commercial exploitation. The acquisition of Twitter (now X) by Elon Musk in 2022 generated concerns among Twitter users regarding changes in the platform's direction, prompting a migration campaign by some user groups to the federated network Mastodon. This study reviews the onboarding of users to this decentrali…

A new Lagrange multiplier approach for constructing structure preserving schemes, III. Bound preserving and energy dissipating
In the third part of this series, we continue to explore the idea of the Lagrange multiplier introduced in the first part [2020, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engr., 391, 114585] and refined in the second part [2022, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 60, 970-998] to further develop efficient and accurate numerical schemes that preserve the maximum bound principle (MBP) and energy dissipation for solving gradient flows. The proposed framework allows us to begin with any conventional scheme as a predictor step…

Investigating Energy-Dependent Anisotropy in Cosmic Rays with IceTop Surface Array
This study presents preliminary results from the analysis of cosmic-ray anisotropy using air showers detected by the IceTop surface array between 2011 and 2022. With improved statistical precision and updated Monte Carlo simulation events compared to previous IceTop reports, we investigate anisotropy patterns across four energy ranges spanning from 300 TeV to 6.9 PeV. This work extends the measurement of cosmic-ray anisotropy in the southern hemisphere to higher energies than previously achieve…

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 …

To shed light on the physical origins of binding and cooperativity in complexes of this kind, several symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT)-based energy deco…

The “sticker range” advertised on the lot for our new 2019 Hyundai Kona EV was 420km.
The battery was replaced under recall at around 40,000km in 2022 a couple months before we went on an epic 12,000km Pacific-Atlantic-Pacifc cross Canada adventure.
Fast forward to today. The car is at 226,000km and I am headed 225km down to Victoria to bring my wife home from the Airport.
Car is ready. 100% charge. 468km on the rangeOmeter. That is city driving so I don’t expect to get that range at highway speeds. I’ll top it up in Sydney before heading home. This was always our main criteria. Can we drive to Victoria comfortably.
Yep. No problem. Even 200,000km later!
Range anxiety is a myth foisted on you by the oil industry. They are gas lighting the world into believing we are the problem, evs are the problem, electric systems are the problem.
They are the problem. Them. Not us. Them. They need to end.

On the intervals for the non-existence of covering systems with distinct moduli
In a research seminar in $2006$, M. Filaseta, O. Trifonov, and G. Yu showed for each integer $n\geq3$ there is no distinct covering with all moduli in the interval $[n, 6n]$. In $2022$, this interval was subsequently improved to $[n, 8n]$ by the first author and O. Trifonov. The first author then improved this bound to $[n, 9n]$ in $2023$. Building off their method, we show that for each integer $n\geq 3$, there does not exist a distinct covering system with all moduli in the interval $[n, 10n]…

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…
