The orbital period and inclination of the neutron star X-ray transient MAXI J1807+132
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…

In this work, we focus on a recent variant of the Trudinger-Moser-Onofri inequality introduced by S. Y.

Assessment of deep learning models integrated with weather and environmental variables for wildfire spread prediction and a case study of the 2023 Maui fires
Predicting the spread of wildfires is essential for effective fire management and risk assessment. With the fast advancements of artificial intelligence (AI), various deep learning models have been developed and utilized for wildfire spread prediction. However, there is limited understanding of the advantages and limitations of these models, and it is also unclear how deep learning-based fire spread models can be compared with existing non-AI fire models. In this work, we assess the ability of …

We study three extraordinarily bright X-ray flares originating from Cyg X-1 seen on 2023 July 10 detected with INTEGRAL. The flares had a duration on the order of only ten minutes each, and within seconds reached a 1-100 keV peak luminosity of $1.1-2.6\times10^{38}$ erg/s. The associated INTEGRAL/IBIS count rate was about ${\sim}$10x higher than usual for the hard state.

We elucidate how the strong coupling phases of a coupled driven model, originally proposed in S. Mukherjee, Phys. Rev. E 108, 024219 (2023), are affected by noise cross correlations in general dimensions $d$. This model has two dynamical variables, where one of the variables is autonomous being independent of the other, whereas the second one depends explicitly on the former. By employing model coupling theories, we study the strong coupling phase of model. We show that the scaling laws in the …

Leveraging the group structure of hypotheses for more powerful multiple testing with FDR control for the filtered rejection set
Modern biological studies often involve testing many hypotheses organized in a group or a hierarchical structure, such as a directed acyclic graph (DAG). In these studies, researchers often wish to control the false discovery rate (FDR) after filtering the discoveries to obtain interpretable results.

Leicht und äußerst schmackhaft, dazu noch einfach zuzubereitet.

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…

Artificial Intelligence in Breast Cancer Care: Transforming Preoperative Planning and Patient Education with 3D Reconstruction
Effective preoperative planning requires accurate algorithms for segmenting anatomical structures across diverse datasets, but traditional models struggle with generalization. This study presents a novel machine learning methodology to improve algorithm generalization for 3D anatomical reconstruction beyond breast cancer applications. We processed 120 retrospective breast MRIs (January 2018-June 2023) through three phases: anonymization and manual segmentation of T1-weighted and dynamic contras…

Accurate complex-stacking-fault Gibbs energy in Ni3Al at high temperatures
To gain a deeper insight into the anomalous yield behavior of Ni3Al, it is essential to obtain temperature-dependent formation Gibbs energies of the relevant planar defects. Here, the Gibbs energy of the complex stacking fault (CSF) is evaluated using a recently proposed ab initio framework [Acta Materialia, 255 (2023) 118986], accounting for all thermal contributions - including anharmonicity and paramagnetism - up to the melting point. The CSF energy shows a moderate decrease from 300K to abo…

Unit Uniquely Clean Rings
We define the class of {\it unit uniquely clean} rings ({\it UnitUC} for short), that is a common generalization of uniquely clean rings and strongly nil clean rings. Abelian {\it UnitUC} rings are uniquely clean and {\it UnitUC} rings with nil Jacobson radical are strongly nil clean. These rings also generalize the UUC and CUC rings, defined by Calugareanu-Zhou in Mediterranean J. Math. (2023), which are rings whose clean elements are uniquely clean. These rings are also represent a natural ge…

Swarm-in-Blocks: Simplifying Drone Swarm Programming with Block-Based Language
Swarm in Blocks, originally developed for CopterHack 2022, is a high-level interface that simplifies drone swarm programming using a block-based language. Building on the Clover platform, this tool enables users to create functionalities like loops and conditional structures by assembling code blocks. In 2023, we introduced Swarm in Blocks 2.0, further refining the platform to address the complexities of swarm management in a user-friendly way. As drone swarm applications grow in areas like del…

Assessment of Socioeconomic Determinants of Voting Patterns: A Spatio-Temporal and Multinomial Logits Analysis of the 2023 Nigerian Presidential Election
In Nigeria, electoral behavior is often interpreted through ethno-religious views and regional allegiances, without empirically assessing the influence of socioeconomic indicators such as health, income, education, and other deprivations on voter behavior. This study investigates the voting pattern in the 2023 Nigerian presidential election and previous cycles using spatio-temporal and multivariate analysis. It examines whether support for some candidates was more substantial in states with hig…

Non-r-partite graphs without complete split subgraphs
The classical Simonovits' chromatic critical edge theorem shows that for sufficiently large $n$, if $H$ is an edge-color-critical graph with $χ(H)=p+1\ge 3$, then the Turán graph $T_{n,p}$ is the unique extremal graph with respect to ${\rm ex}(n,H)$. Denote by ${\rm EX}_{r+1}(n,H)$ and ${\rm SPEX}_{r+1}(n,H)$ the family of $n$-vertex $H$-free non-$r$-partite graphs with the maximum size and with the spectral radius, respectively.

Trade, Political Distance and the World Trade Organization
Trade agreements are often understood as shielding commerce from fluctuations in political relations. This paper provides evidence that World Trade Organization membership reduces the penalty of political distance on trade at the extensive margin. Using a structural gravity framework covering 1948 to 2023 and two measures of political distance, based on high-frequency events data and UN General Assembly votes, GATT/WTO status is consistently associated with a wider range of products traded betw…
