Der Übergang von El Niño zu La Niña könnte 2024 zu noch extremerem Wetter führen. Nach dem heißesten Sommer der letzten 2.000 Jahre im Jahr 2023, mit verheerenden Waldbränden und tödlichen #Hitzewellen, warnen Wissenschaftler vor weiteren Katastrophen. Während El Niño warmes Oberflächenwasser im Pazifik aufheizt, kühlt La Niña das Wasser ab, was jedoch zu heißeren Sommern zwischen den Phasen…

The End of El Niño Might Make the Weather Even More Extreme
The shift from El Niño to La Niña will see temperatures drop, but when one weather system swings to the other, summers tend to be hotter than average—meaning 2024 could be even warmer and wilder than last year.

Davante Adams Sets Record Straight On Expectations For Raiders’ Offense
The 2023 campaign was Davante Adams’ second season with the Las Vegas Raiders, and the lack of success—particularly on the offensive side of the ball—was clearly weighing on him. Adams voiced his displeasure multiple times throughout the season, which had some wondering if the Raiders could potentially trade him. The superstar wide receiver is still in Las Vegas and is now preparing for his third year with the club, but he is making it pretty clear that he expects the offense to take a st…

Towards Risk Analysis of the Impact of AI on the Deliberate Biological Threat Landscape
The perception that the convergence of biological engineering and artificial intelligence (AI) could enable increased biorisk has recently drawn attention to the governance of biotechnology and artificial intelligence. The 2023 Executive Order, Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, requires an assessment of how artificial intelligence can increase biorisk. Within this perspective, quantitative and qualitative frameworks for evaluati…

Puzzle game: Prediction and Classification of Wordle Solution Words
In MCM/ICM 2023, we proposed a new result prediction model for the popular game Wordle launched by The New York Times. We first preprocessed the raw data and then established a prediction model based on ARIMA to predict the number of report results as of March 1, 2023. We selected word usage frequency, word information entropy, and the number of repeated letters contained in the word as the attributes of the word, and conducted a correlation analysis between these three attributes and the perce…

The oracle property of the generalized outcome adaptive lasso
The generalized outcome-adaptive lasso (GOAL) is a variable selection for high-dimensional causal inference proposed by Baldé et al. [2023, {\em Biometrics} {\bfseries 79(1)}, 514--520]. When the dimension is high, it is now well established that an ideal variable selection method should have the oracle property to ensure the optimal large sample performance. However, the oracle property of GOAL has not been proven. In this paper, we show that the GOAL estimator enjoys the oracle property. Our…

Both were signed out of the USFL (now the UFL after merging with the XFL) to provide special teams value to the team. The Cowboys also signed CB Josh Butler in 2023, who has yet to play a game.  A…

Cross Interpolation for Solving High-Dimensional Dynamical Systems on Low-Rank Tucker and Tensor Train Manifolds

This paper builds upon our previous work (Donello et al., Proceedings of the Royal Society A, Vol. 479, 2023) on solving nonlinear matrix differential equations on low-rank matrix manifolds using CUR decompositions.

Bifurcations of periodic orbits in the 3D secular planetary 3-Body problem: an approach through an integrable Hamiltonian system
We analyze, through a geometric description, the sequence of bifurcations of periodic orbits in a Hamiltonian model derived from the normalization of the secular 3D planetary three body problem. Stemming from the results in (Mastroianni & Efthymiopoulos 2023) we analyze the phase space of the corresponding integrable approximation. In particular, we propose a normal form leading to an integrable Hamiltonian whose sequence of bifurcations is qualitatively the same as that in the complete system.…

On Function-Correcting Codes
Function-correcting codes were introduced in the work "Function-Correcting Codes" by Lenz et al. 2023, which provides a graphical representation for the problem of constructing function-correcting codes. We use this graph to get a lower bound on the redundancy required for function correction. By considering the function to be a bijection, such an approach leads to a lower bound on the redundancy required for classical systematic error correcting codes of small distances. We identify a range of…

Extreme value methods for estimating rare events in Utopia
To capture the extremal behaviour of complex environmental phenomena in practice, flexi\-ble techniques for modelling tail behaviour are required. In this paper, we introduce a variety of such methods, which were used by the Lancopula Utopiversity team to tackle the EVA (2023) Conference Data Challenge. This data challenge was split into four challenges, labelled C1-C4. Challenges C1 and C2 comprise univariate problems, where the goal is to estimate extreme quantiles for a non-stationary time s…

Detection of Deepfake Environmental Audio
With the ever-rising quality of deep generative models, it is increasingly important to be able to discern whether the audio data at hand have been recorded or synthesized. Although the detection of fake speech signals has been studied extensively, this is not the case for the detection of fake environmental audio. We propose a simple and efficient pipeline for detecting fake environmental sounds based on the CLAP audio embedding. We evaluate this detector using audio data from the 2023 DCASE…

Challenging the Machine: Contestability in Government AI Systems
In an October 2023 executive order (EO), President Biden issued a detailed but largely aspirational road map for the safe and responsible development and use of artificial intelligence (AI). The challenge for the January 24-25, 2024 workshop was to transform those aspirations regarding one specific but crucial issue -- the ability of individuals to challenge government decisions made about themselves -- into actionable guidance enabling agencies to develop, procure, and use genuinely contestabl…

Uniform descriptions of pseudospin symmetries in bound and resonant states
As a continuation of our previous work on the conservation and breaking of the pseudospin symmetry (PSS) in resonant states [Phys. Lett. B 847, 138320 (2023)}], in this work, the PSS in nuclear single-particle bound and resonant states are investigated uniformly within a relativistic framework by exploring the poles of the Green's function in spherical Woods-Saxon potentials. As the potential depths increase from zero to finite depths, the PS partners evolve from resonant states to bound states…
