Podemos's maximalist posture is preventing Spain enacting an arms embargo on Israel. Other parties (Sumar, ERC) agree it's inadequate but say they can then work to strengthen it, e.g. with surveillance at ports.

Raqlet: Cross-Paradigm Compilation for Recursive Queries
We introduce Raqlet, a source-to-source compilation framework that addresses the fragmentation of recursive querying engines spanning relational (recursive SQL), graph (Cypher, GQL), and deductive (Datalog) systems. Recent standards such as SQL:2023's SQL/PGQ and the GQL standard provide a common foundation for querying graph data within relational and graph databases; however, real-world support remains inconsistent across systems. Raqlet bridges this gap by translating recursive queries acros…

Up until 2016, the sea ice in Antarctica seemed relatively stable.

The anomaly was of such a magnitude that it's quite hard for scientists to know what to make of it.

Identifying Radio Active Galactic Nuclei with Machine Learning and Large-Area Surveys
Context. Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and star forming galaxies (SFGs) are the primary sources of extragalactic radio sky. But it is difficult to distinguish the radio emission produced by AGNs from that by SFGs, especially when the radio sources are faint. Best et al. (2023) classified the radio sources in LoTSS Deep Fields DR1 through multiwavelength SED fitting. With the classification results of them, we perform a supervised machine learning to distinguish radio AGNs and radio SFGs. Aims…

Is This Just Fantasy? Language Model Representations Reflect Human Judgments of Event Plausibility
Language models (LMs) are used for a diverse range of tasks, from question answering to writing fantastical stories. In order to reliably accomplish these tasks, LMs must be able to discern the modal category of a sentence (i.e., whether it describes something that is possible, impossible, completely nonsensical, etc.). However, recent studies have called into question the ability of LMs to categorize sentences according to modality (Michaelov et al., 2025; Kauf et al., 2023). In this work, we …

Excitation and tunneling spectra of a fractional quantum Hall system in the thin cylinder limit

New electron scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) results from Hu et.al. (2023) show promise in detecting and identifying these excited states via the local density of states (LDOS) spectrum. On a torus, there exists a mapping to a 1D lattice Hamiltonian with center-of-mass or dipole moment conservation. In this work, we apply perturbation theory starting from the…

Convergence of a finite-volume scheme for aggregation-diffusion equations with saturation
In [Bailo, Carrillo, Hu. SIAM J. Appl. Math. 2023] the authors introduce a finite-volume method for aggregation-diffusion equations with non-linear mobility. In this paper we prove convergence of this method using an Aubin--Simons compactness theorem due to Gallouët and Latché. We use suitable discrete $H^1$ and $W^{-1,1}$ discrete norms. We provide two convergence results. A first result shows convergence with general entropies ($U$) (including singular and degenerate) if the initial datum d…

Gesture Evaluation in Virtual Reality
Gestures are central to human communication, enriching interactions through non-verbal expression. Virtual avatars increasingly use AI-generated gestures to enhance life-likeness, yet evaluations have largely been confined to 2D. Virtual Reality (VR) provides an immersive alternative that may affect how gestures are perceived. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of computer-generated gestures in VR and 2D, examining three models from the 2023 GENEA Challenge. Results show that gestures…

Great comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS): dust loss before perihelion
In this study, the dust loss of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is investigated through the analysis of archival images. By measuring the surface brightness profile of the coma, we determined that the comet maintained nearly in a steady state during the observations. Analysis of the dust distribution perpendicular to the orbital plane reveals that the ejection velocity is $v_{\perp}\sim(65\pm5)\,β^{1/2}$ m s$^{-1}$, where $β$ is inversely proportional to the size of the dust grains. From …

Longitudinal review of portfolios with minimum variance approach before during and after the pandemic
This study investigates the impact of the pandemic on the most traded stocks in the Colombian stock market for the date of January 17, 2024. Based on the daily data of the most traded companies in Colombia for said date and covering a period general from 2015 to 2023, in a summarized way our analysis reveals that in the period 2015-2019, the return reached 5.70%, with a relatively low risk of 18.45%. However, in the following period 2016 -2020, although the yield decreased to 5.40%, the risk ex…

Simultaneous observations of multiple ELVES and SPRITES at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Since 2014, the Pierre Auger Observatory has exploited a dedicated trigger and its very high time resolution to study ELVES and harvest record samples of multiple ELVES using the Fluorescence Detector (FD). In 2017, after extending the readout of trace lengths to 0.9 ms, we started observing other types of light transients from the base of the ionosphere, such as HALOS, which deserved further investigation. In December 2023 and April 2024, we installed two additional cameras (TLECAMs), which al…

Im #Windpark #Elster werden ältere #Windräder zurückgebaut und durch leistungsstärkere ersetzt.
Durch das #Repowering

Windpark-Umbau in Elster - weniger neue Windräder mit mehr Power | MDR.DE
Im Windpark Elster werden alte Windräder abgebaut und durch stärkere ersetzt. So wird mit weniger Fläche deutlich mehr Strom erzeugt. Der Umbau, der 2023 begann, soll im August abgeschlossen sein.
