Neulich kam im TV die DC Comic­verfilmung The Flash von 2023.
Meinem Eindruck nach war der Film eine ganz nette Komödie und/oder Parodie, die man durchaus schauen kann. Allerdings scheint der Rest der Welt diese Einordnung nicht zu teilen und nimmt den Film ernst – also soweit man einen Action-Superhelden­film überhaupt ernst nehmen kann.

The NetMob25 Dataset: A High-resolution Multi-layered View of Individual Mobility in Greater Paris Region
High-quality mobility data remains scarce despite growing interest from researchers and urban stakeholders in understanding individual-level movement patterns. The Netmob25 Data Challenge addresses this gap by releasing a unique GPS-based mobility dataset derived from the EMG 2023 GNSS-based mobility survey conducted in the Ile-de-France region (Greater Paris area), France. This dataset captures detailed daily mobility over a full week for 3,337 volunteer residents aged 16 to 80, collected betw…

Advancing Exchange Rate Forecasting: Leveraging Machine Learning and AI for Enhanced Accuracy in Global Financial Markets
The prediction of foreign exchange rates, such as the US Dollar (USD) to Bangladeshi Taka (BDT), plays a pivotal role in global financial markets, influencing trade, investments, and economic stability. This study leverages historical USD/BDT exchange rate data from 2018 to 2023, sourced from Yahoo Finance, to develop advanced machine learning models for accurate forecasting. A Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network is employed, achieving an exceptional accuracy of 99.449%, a Root Mean Sq…

On Jiang's Bounded Index Property for products of nilmanifolds
In 2023, Zhang and Zhao presented the first examples of aspherical manifolds lacking the Bounded Index Property (BIP) for fixed points. This answered a question posed by Jiang in 1998 in the negative. In this paper, we first extend the notion of BIP to that of iterations of selfmaps (BIP$_k$), and then demonstrate BIP$_k$ for certain products $M\times N$ of nilmanifolds. Finally, we give characterizations for the Lefschetz number, the Nielsen number, and the minimal number of fixed points of se…

Asteroseismology of the G8 subgiant beta Aquilae with SONG-Tenerife, SONG-Australia and TESS
We present radial velocities of the G8 subgiant star beta Aql obtained in 2022 and 2023 using SONG-Tenerife and SONG-Australia. We also analysed a sector of TESS photometry that overlapped with the 2022 SONG data. We processed the time series to assign weights and to remove bad data points. The power spectrum clearly shows solar-like oscillations centred at 430 muHz. The TESS data show the oscillations at lower signal-to-noise because photometric measurements are much more affected by the granu…

Ich empfehle gerne noch mal Thomas Hettches „Sinkende Sterne“ von 2023. Neben aller anderen Grossartigkeit zeigt er sehr treffend, was im Wallis passiert, wenn es sich durch Naturgewalt teilt — erst Verkehrswege, dann Gesellschaft. Quasi an den immer noch vorhandenen „natürlichen“ Bruchstellen. In anderen Gegenden sicher ähnlich möglich, aber das ist schon sehr Wallis, meinem Empfinden nach

crossMoDA Challenge: Evolution of Cross-Modality Domain Adaptation Techniques for Vestibular Schwannoma and Cochlea Segmentation from 2021 to 2023
The cross-Modality Domain Adaptation (crossMoDA) challenge series, initiated in 2021 in conjunction with the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI), focuses on unsupervised cross-modality segmentation, learning from contrast-enhanced T1 (ceT1) and transferring to T2 MRI. The task is an extreme example of domain shift chosen to serve as a meaningful and illustrative benchmark. From a clinical application perspective, it aims to automate Ve…

Inner disc and circumplanetary material in the PDS 70 system
The two giant protoplanets directly imaged in the dust-depleted cavity of PDS 70 offer a unique opportunity to study ongoing planet formation. Both planets have been detected in infrared thermal emission and in H$α$, indicating active accretion. We calibrate and analyse archival ALMA Band 6 and 7 observations of PDS 70 from 2019, 2021, and 2023 to search for circumplanetary material and assess its motion. Using 2D visibility modelling of the high-resolution (~0.11"x0.08" in Band 6; ~0.05"x0.05…

Temporal Dynamics of Emotions in Italian Online Soccer Fandoms
This study investigates the emotional dynamics of Italian soccer fandoms through computational analysis of user-generated content from official Instagram accounts of 83 teams across Serie A, Serie B, and Lega Pro during the 2023-24 season. By applying sentiment analysis to fan comments, we extract temporal emotional patterns and identify distinct clusters of fan bases with similar preseason expectations. Drawing from complex systems theory, we characterize joy as displaying anti-bursty temporal…
