Infrared Synchrotron Emission in the Soft State of GX 339-4 and the Mid-Infrared/X-ray Luminosity Plane of Black Hole X-ray Binaries
Progress in understanding the growth of accreting black holes remains hampered by a lack of sensitive coordinated multiwavelength observations. In particular, the mid-infrared (MIR) regime remains ill-explored except for jet-dominant states. Here, we present comprehensive follow-up of the black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4 during a disc-dominated state in its 2023/24 outburst as part of a multi-wavelength campaign coordinated around JWST/MIRI. The X-ray properties are fairly typical of soft accre…

Intensivering grenscontroles tot op een niveau dat ze geloofwaardig worden is vrijwel onmogelijk, we hebben de mensen er niet voor, zoals ook door de KMar aangegeven. Tegelijk is er dan ook de politieke vraag, wil je die mensen dan allemaal aan de grens zetten of zetten we die capaciteit niet liever in voor criminaliteitsbestrijding en verhogen van veiligheid elders in het land, persoonlijk weet ik het dan wel.

Staatssecretaris Van der Burg (JenV) informeert de Tweede Kamer over de operationele en juridische mogelijkheden van herinvoering van de binnengrenscontroles.

Die deutschen Unternehmen halten sich bei Neueinstellungen im IT-Bereich derzeit stark zurück. Laut einer aktuellen Analyse des Instituts der deutschen Wirtschaft Köln ging die Zahl offener IT-Stellen zwischen 2023 und 2024 um mehr als ein Viertel zurück – ein Minus von rund 16.500 Stellen.

Nearly Tight Bounds for the Online Sorting Problem
In the online sorting problem, a sequence of $n$ numbers in $[0, 1]$ (including $\{0,1\}$) have to be inserted in an array of size $m \ge n$ so as to minimize the sum of absolute differences between pairs of numbers occupying consecutive non-empty cells. Previously, Aamand {\em et al.} (SODA 2023) gave a deterministic $2^{\sqrt{\log n} \sqrt{\log \log n + \log (1/\varepsilon)}}$-competitive algorithm when $m = (1+\varepsilon) n$ for any $\varepsilon \ge Ω(\log n/n)$. They also showed a lower b…
