How much packaging waste are EU citizens producing?
Despite packaging waste having risen over the past decade, seven EU countries achieved the 2030 goal of recycling at least 70% of all packaging waste as early as 2023.

Congruences modulo powers of 2 and 3 for overpartition $k$-tuples
Let $\overline{p}_{k}(n)$ denote the number of overpartition $k$-tuples of $n$. In 2023, Saikia \cite{saikia} conjectured the following congruences: \begin{align*} \overline{p}_{q}(8n+2)& \equiv 0 \pmod{4},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+3)\equiv 0 \pmod{8},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+4) \equiv 0 \pmod{2},\\ \overline{p}_{q}(8n+5)& \equiv 0 \pmod{8},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+6) \equiv 0 \pmod{8},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+7)\equiv 0 \pmod{32}, \end{align*} where $n\geq0$ and $q$ is prime.

Localized and weighted versions of extremal problems

Localized and weighted versions of extremal problems
Malec and Tompkins (EUJC, 2023) considered the localized versions of Turán-type problems, and proved a localized theorem on Erdős-Gallai Theorem on paths. Zhao and Zhang (JGT, 2025) gave a long proof of a localized version of Erdős-Gallai Theorem on cycles. In this paper, we consider several types of generalization of Turán-type problems, that is, localized versions, weighted versions, and generalized Turán-type problems, and their connectedness. We first present very short proofs for re…

Trade, Political Distance and the World Trade Organization

Trade, Political Distance and the World Trade Organization
Trade agreements are often understood as shielding commerce from fluctuations in political relations. This paper provides evidence that World Trade Organization membership reduces the penalty of political distance on trade at the extensive margin. Using a structural gravity framework covering 1948 to 2023 and two measures of political distance, based on high-frequency events data and UN General Assembly votes, GATT/WTO status is consistently associated with a wider range of products traded betw…

Six microlensing planets detected via sub-day signals during the 2023 -- 2024 season
We present analyses of six microlensing events: KMT-2023-BLG-0548, KMT-2023-BLG-0830, KMT-2023-BLG-0949, KMT-2024-BLG-1281, KMT-2024-BLG-2059, and KMT-2024-BLG-2242. These were identified in KMTNet data from the 2023 -- 2024 seasons, selected for exhibiting anomalies shorter than one day -- potential signatures of low-mass planetary companions. Detailed modeling of the light curves reveals that the anomalies in all six events are caused by planetary companions to the lenses. The brief durations…

Measurement of coherent exclusive $J/ψ\toμ^+μ^-$ production in ultraperipheral Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}}=5.36$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
The ATLAS experiment has performed a measurement of coherent exclusive $J/ψ\toμ^+μ^-$ production in ultraperipheral Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}}=5.36$ TeV. The data was recorded at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during 2023, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 78 $μ$b$^{-1}$. Exclusive $J/ψ$ candidates were selected with a dedicated track-sensitive trigger based on the ATLAS transition radiation tracker. The analysis involves reconstruction of the dimuon invarian…

Dense photometry validation of super-fast-rotating asteroid candidates
Super-fast rotators (SFRs; P < 2.2 hr) are of great importance in asteroid studies; yet, many reported detections suffer from aliasing caused by an insufficient observation cadence. We present dense CCD photometry for 15 SFRs candidates (14 after excluding 11219 Benbohn, whose published period already exceeds the spin barrier) observed from 2023 Aug 11 to 2024 Aug 11 with the 1.5 m Sierra Nevada and 1.4 m AS Vidojevica telescopes. Our dataset comprises approximately 2,400 calibrated data points…

An updated catalog of HIRES/Keck radial velocity measurements. Including Ca II H&K measurements
The first HIRES/Keck precision radial velocity (RV) catalog was released in 2017; it was followed by a second release in 2019, which incorporated corrections for small but significant systematic errors. The manifestation of stellar activity accompanied by systematic errors could affect the detection of exoplanets via the RV method. We expanded the HIRES catalog to March 2023 using publicly available spectra. Furthermore, we included the chromospheric emission line Ca II H&K indicator ($R_{\math…

TRAPPIST-1 e is one of the very few rocky exoplanets that is both amenable to atmospheric characterization and that resides in the habitable zone of its star -- located at a distance from its star such that it might, with the right atmosphere, sustain liquid water on its surface. Here, we present a set of 4 JWST/NIRSpec PRISM transmission spectra of TRAPPIST-1 e obtained from mid to late 2023. Our transmission spectra exhibit similar levels of stellar contamination as observed in prior works fo…
