Les propos génocidaires, proférés par les plus hautes autorités de l’Etat, ont fait tache d’huile au sein de la majorité et prospèrent désormais sur les plateaux de télévision et dans les think tanks.

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

Spectral Turán problem of non-bipartite graphs: Forbidden books
A book graph $B_{r+1}$ is a set of $r+1$ triangles with a common edge, where $r\geq0$ is an integer. Zhai and Lin [J. Graph Theory 102 (2023) 502-520] proved that for $n\geq\frac{13}{2}r$, if $G$ is a $B_{r+1}$-free graph of order $n$, then $ρ(G)\leqρ(T_{n,2})$, with equality if and only if $G\cong T_{n,2}$. Note that the extremal graph $T_{n,2}$ is bipartite. Motivated by the above elegant result, we investigate the spectral Turán problem of non-bipartite $B_{r+1}$-free graphs of order $n$.…

The origin of the coherent radio flash potentially associated with GRB 201006A
Rowlinson et al. 2023 recently claimed the detection of a coherent radio flash 76.6 minutes after a short gamma-ray burst. They proposed that the radio emission may be associated with a long-lived neutron star engine. We show through theoretical and observational arguments that the coherent radio emission, if real and indeed associated with GRB 201006A and at the estimated redshift, is unlikely to be due to the collapse of the neutron star, ruling out a blitzar-like mechanism. Instead, we show …

International collaboration of Ukrainian scholars: Effects of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine International collaboration of Ukrainian scholars: Effects of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine
This study explores the effects of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on the international collaboration of Ukrainian scholars. First and foremost, Ukrainian scholars deserve respect for continuing to publish despite life-threatening conditions, mental strain, shelling and blackouts. In 2022-2023, universities gained more from international collaboration than the NASU. The percentage of internationally co-authored articles remained unchanged for the NASU, while it increased for universitie…

Pairwise Rearrangement is Fixed-Parameter Tractable in the Single Cut-and-Join Model
Genome rearrangement is a common model for molecular evolution. In this paper, we consider the Pairwise Rearrangement problem, which takes as input two genomes and asks for the number of minimum-length sequences of permissible operations transforming the first genome into the second. In the Single Cut-and-Join model (Bergeron, Medvedev, & Stoye, J. Comput. Biol. 2010), Pairwise Rearrangement is $\#\textsf{P}$-complete (Bailey, et. al., COCOON 2023), which implies that exact sampling is intracta…

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…

Gaming the Metrics? Bibliometric Anomalies and the Integrity Crisis in Global University Rankings
Global university rankings have transformed how certain institutions define success, often elevating metrics over meaning. This study examines universities with rapid research growth suggestive of metric-driven behaviors. Among the 1,000 most publishing institutions, 98 showed extreme output increases between 2018-2019 and 2023-2024. Of these, eighteen were selected for exhibiting sharp declines in first and corresponding authorship. Compared to national, regional, and international norms, thes…

“An assessment of updated National Climate and Energy Plans (NECPs) shows the EU is on course to achieve a 54 per cent emissions reduction by 2030 - just one per cent shy of its legally binding 55 per cent target.”
Fun fact, if Canada joined the EU it would probably hurt it from an emissions reduction perspective because Oil and Gas.
“It attributed the progress towards the 2030 goal to action in the energy sector, with renewables covering 24 per cent of energy consumption in the EU in 2023. Most member states are now aligned with the target of reaching a share of 42.5 per cent by 2030, according to the Commission.”
Weird how they don’t mention LNG as being a reason why Europe has been able to meet its goals. Almost like renewables are essentially the only way to decarbonize the industry, just like the scientists say it is.
“States have a legal obligation to deliver climate action, and the Commission has a clear responsibility to uphold and enforce EU law in response.”
