Mass threshold for global existence in chemotaxis systems with critical flux limitation
This paper investigates the flux-limited chemotaxis system, proposed by Kohatsu and Senba~(2025), \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u_t = Δu -\nabla\cdot(u|\nabla v|^{α-2}\nabla v),\\ \:\:0=Δv + u, \end{cases} \end{equation*} posed in the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^N$ for some $N\geq2$, subject to no-flux and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Due to precedents, e.g., Tello (2022) and Winkler (2022), the exponent $α= \frac{N}{N-1}$ is the threshold for finite-time blow-up …

The spectral Turán problem: Characterizing spectral-consistent graphs
Let ${\rm EX}(n,H)$ and ${\rm SPEX}(n,H)$ denote the families of $n$-vertex $H$-free graphs with the maximum size and the maximum spectral radius, respectively. A graph $H$ is said to be spectral-consistent if ${\rm SPEX}(n,H)\subseteq {\rm EX}(n,H)$ for sufficiently large $n$. A fundamental problem in spectral extremal graph theory is to determine which graphs are spectral-consistent. Cioabă, Desai and Tait [European J. Combin. 99 (2022) 103420] proposed the following conjecture: Let $H$ be…

Extremely hot day in the Netherlands again, especially in the South. In over a century of records until 2019, no station in the country had ever reached a temperature of 39°C.
Today was the third time the city of Maastricht saw it happen, and this was by far the earliest in summer for any station.

Ukrainische Armee: Schwerste nächtliche Angriffe Russlands seit Kriegsbeginn
Russlands nächtliche Angriffe auf die Ukraine waren nach Angaben der ukrainischen Armee die schwerste derartige Attacke seit Kriegsbeginn im Februar 2022. In der Nacht zum Freitag sei die "größte Zahl" an Drohnen eingesetzt worden, "die der Feind jemals in einem einzelnen Angriff verwendet" habe, sagte Armeesprecher Juri Ignat am Freitag im ukrainisc…

#Manchester's filthy air.
A long way to go.
"All in all, the measures will get Greater Manchester’s air to 40.3 micrograms of nitrogen dioxide in one cubic metre of air.
"The UK legal limit is officially 40, but results under 40.4 are rounded down, making TfGM’s plan compliant.
"But the World Health Organisation’s recommended limit is just 10."

Clean air zone signs are down, but our pollution 'is like smoking 150 cigarettes a year'. Now what?
The charging clean air zone was cancelled after a spectacular U-turn in 2022 - and led to more arguments and thousands of stickers being slapped on signs. Now there's a new plan, Ethan Davies examines what it involves - and why it's only a start

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 …

Updated line list for the principal isotopologue of carbon monoxide
The line list for the principal isotopologue of CO calculated earlier by the present authors [1, 2] with the irregular dipole-moment function (DMF) is updated with use of the recent high-precision measurements in the 3-0 [3, 4] (Bielska et al. 2022, Hodges et al. 2025) and 7-0 [5] (Balashov et al. 2023) bands. The new data came in contradiction with the experimental data on the 1-0 band [6, 7]. Therefore, we performed fitting several model DMFs to the modified original data set of Meshkov et al…

A Survey of LLM-based Automated Program Repair: Taxonomies, Design Paradigms, and Applications
Large language models (LLMs) are reshaping automated program repair (APR). We categorize the recent 63 LLM-based APR systems published from January 2022 to June 2025 into four paradigms, and show how retrieval- or analysis-augmented contexts strengthen any of them. This taxonomy clarifies key trade-offs: fine-tuning delivers strong task alignment at high training cost; prompting enables rapid deployment but is limited by prompt design and context windows; procedural pipelines offer reproducible…

Effect of Different Concentration and Application Method of Zinc on Yield of Chickpea (Pisum Sativum L.)
This study evaluated the impact of Zinc (Zn) supplementation on the growth, yield, and seed quality of chickpea (Pisum sativum L.) under the semi-arid conditions of Kerman, Iran, across two growing seasons (2021-2022). A randomized complete block design was used with six treatments, including varying concentrations of zinc sulphate applied via foliar spraying (0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%) or irrigation (4, 8, 16 kg/ha), each applied twice-one and two months after greening. Results from the first year rev…
