On the homological shifts of cover ideals of Cohen-Macaulay graphs

On the homological shifts of cover ideals of Cohen-Macaulay graphs
For a non-negative integer $k$, let $\mathrm{HS}_{k}(J(G))$ denote the $k^{\text{th}}$ homological shift ideal of the vertex cover ideal $J(G)$ of a graph $G$. For each $k\geq 2$, we construct a Cohen-Macaulay very well-covered graph $G_k$ which is both Cohen-Macaulay bipartite and a whiskered graph so that $\mathrm{HS}_{k}(J(G))$ does not have a linear resolution. This contradicts several results as well as disproves a conjecture in [J. Algebra, $\mathbf{629}$, (2023), 76-108] and [Mediterr. J…

Full Stokes magnetometry of the active M dwarfs AU Mic and EV Lac with SPIRou
We report in this paper circularly and linearly polarized observations of the young active M dwarfs AU Mic and EV Lac with the near-infrared SPIRou spectropolarimeter at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, collected from August to October 2023 over a few rotation cycles of both stars. Applying Least-Squares Deconvolution (LSD) to our spectra, we detected Zeeman signatures in circular (Stokes V) and linear (Stokes QU) polarization, and Zeeman broadening in unpolarized (Stokes I) LSD profiles, al…

A Comparison of Relativistic Coupled Cluster and Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster Quadratic Response Theory
We present the implementation of relativistic coupled cluster quadratic response theory (QR-CC), following our development of relativistic equation of motion coupled cluster quadratic response theory (QR-EOMCC) [X. Yuan et al., J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2023, 19, 9248]. These codes, which can be used in combination with relativistic (2- and 4-component based) as well as non-relativistic Hamiltonians, are capable of treating both static and dynamic perturbations for electric and magnetic operators…

Ball path curvature and in-game free throw shooting proficiency in the National Basketball Association
Basketball shooting coaches agree that smoother shooting motions are better, but there is less agreement about what "smooth" means quantitatively or what part of the shooting motion needs to be smooth. Using ball tracking data from the 2023-2024 National Basketball Association regular season, we explore the relationship between ball path curvature and free throw shooting performance. We fit Bézier curves to the ball tracking data in the sagittal plane and test different methods of calculating …

Deploying IPv6-Mostly Access Networks
Dual stack is the most common way of deploying IPv6 in access networks. A recent standard defines IPv6-mostly access networks, providing IPv4 connectivity only for legacy devices while allowing modern devices to run IPv6-only. It is already well supported and allows network operators to gradually p…

BBC bias on Israel
From Jonathan Cook. (Substack link, sorry.)
"In a confrontation with BBC news chief Richard Burgess, journalist Peter Oborne sets out six ways the state broadcaster has wilfully misled audiences on Israel's destruction of Gaza"
For example,
"... the distinguished Israeli historian Avi Shlaim lives in the UK and teaches at Oxford University. ... Shlaim is both knowledgeable about the history of Israeli colonisation of Palestine and truly independent. He is in a position to dispassionately provide the context BBC audiences need to make judgments about what is going on and who is responsible for it.
"And yet extraordinarily, Shlaim has never been invited on by the BBC. ... He is one of the prominent Israelis we are never allowed to hear from, because they are likely to make more credible and mainstream a narrative the BBC wishes to present as fringe, loopy and antisemitic."
Plus some media analysis stats such as:
"The BBC mentioned “occupation” – the essential context for understanding the relationship between Israel and Palestinians – only 14 times in news articles when providing context to the events of 7 October 2023. That amounted to 0.3% of articles. Additional context – decades of Israeli apartheid rule and Israel’s 17-year blockade of Gaza — were entirely missing from the coverage."
