Four classes of LCD codes from (*)-(L,P)-twisted generalized Reed-Solomon codes
It's well-known that maximum distance separable codes (in short, MDS) and linear complementary dual (in short, LCD) codes are very important in coding theory and practice. In 2023, Yue et al. [25] constructed three classes of LCD MDS codes via (*)-TGRS codes. Recently, Wu et al. [27] generalized the results given by Yue et al. and constructed several classes of LCD MDS codes. In this paper, we unify their constructions by defining the (*)-(L,P)-twisted generalized Reed-Solomon (in short, (*)-(L…

»Schockiert und traurig«: Kanadisches Filmfest streicht Doku über Hamas-Massaker – aus Sorge um Bildrechte der Terroristen
Auf dem Toronto Film Festival sollte eine Doku über den Anschlag auf Israel vom 7. Oktober 2023 gezeigt werden. Der Film enthält Aufnahmen von Terroristen, die ihre Gräueltaten selbst filmten. Nun wird es keine Vorführung geben, angeblich wegen unklarer Rechte an den Hamas-Aufnahmen.

By changing our diets now, we can avoid the food chaos that climate change is bringing
Climate change is pushing up the prices of the food that we buy and therefore changing what we eat. One-third of UK food price increases in 2023 resulted from climate change, according to research by agricultural economists. This extra cost contributed to food price inflation and the UK's cost-of-living crisis.

So the anti-vaxx murderers in government are shutting down mRNA vaccine research in the US.
The biggest medical advance in decades, got the 2023 Nobel Prize, saved millions of lives.
Lots of in-development vaccines, among them for various cancers, AIDS and other things, cancelled.
Not only will this kill and maim untold numbers of people—it also takes leadership in science away from the US.
And for what? Buying the Republicans votes from a few unhinged people.

Can fractal dimension distinguish between grand-design and flocculent spiral arms?
About two-thirds of disk galaxies host spiral arms, ranging from well-delineated grand-design spirals to fragmented flocculent spiral galaxies. We introduce fractal dimension $D_B$ as a non-parametric measure to distinguish between grand-designs and flocculents. We calculate the $D_B$ of 197 grand-designs and 322 flocculents from SDSS DR18, using the samples of \citet{Buta..2015} and \citet{Sarkar..2023}. Our calculated median values of $D_B$ are $1.29^{+0.06}_{-0.04}$ and $1.38^{+0.05}_{-0.06}…

Systemic Trade Risk Suppresses Comparative Advantage in Rare Earth Dependent Industries
Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical to a wide range of clean and high-tech applications, yet global trade dependencies expose countries to vulnerabilities across production networks. Here, we construct a multi-tiered input-output trade network spanning 168 REE-related product codes from 2007-2023 using a novel AI-augmented statistical framework. We identify significant differences between dependencies in upstream and intermediate (input) products, revealing that exposure and supplier concen…

Exploring the Relationship Between Swift Short Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows and their Host Galaxy Properties
We present a comprehensive compilation of short-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows in the X-ray, optical, and radio bands, comprising 150 events discovered primarily by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory over 2005-2023. We pair these observations with uniformly modeled host galaxies to understand how broadband afterglow luminosities are influenced by their environmental properties. We compare the X-ray and optical afterglow luminosities at 3 hr with projected physical and host-normalized…

New inequality indicators for team ranking in multi-stage female professional cyclist races
Cycling competition is highly interesting since the team ranking is based on the best performance of some subset of team members. The paper develops new inequality indicators, a methodology to construct them, and numerical illustrations allowing to provide operative arguments in their favor. The numerical illustrations subsequently deal with hierarchical ranking indicators of (female) cyclist teams, competing in multi-stage races. For the illustration, the 2023 editions of the most famous long …

The increasing frequency of extreme temperature events, such as daily maximum temperature ($T_x$) records, underscores the need for robust tools to understand their drivers and predict their occurrence. Previous studies have identified increasing and non-stationary trends in $T_x$ records across the Iberian Peninsula, particularly during summer, the literature directly exploring their connection with upper-level atmospheric covariates remains limited.

The neutron star X-ray transient MAXI J1807+132 has undergone outbursts in 2017, 2019, and 2023. We conducted an $R$-band time series photometry campaign using the Isaac Newton Telescope during the 2022 quiescent state. We detected a periodic variation in the light curve, consistent with ellipsoidal modulation, which allowed us to determine an orbital period of $P_{\rm orb} = 4.258 \pm 0.008$ hr. By modelling the light curve, we obtained a binary inclination of $ i = 72\pm5 \, °$ and a mass ra…
