Alexander Smirnov, the ex–FBI informant who admitted to lying about the Biden-Burisma connection, has been released from prison just months into his six-year prison sentence.
In a plea deal in December 2024, Smirnov admitted to completely fabricating the conspiracy that became central to a Republican effort to impeach then-President Joe Biden.
Days later, the Russian asset pleaded guilty to four felony charges, including one count of obstruction, and was sentenced to six years in …

Energy Transition Domain and Its Application in Constructing Gravity-Assist Escape Trajectories
This Note proposes the concept and theory of energy transition domain (ETD) defined by the mechanical energy of spacecraft in the Earth-Moon planar circular restricted three-body problem (PCR3BP) inspired by the pioneering work from Ano{è} et al. (2024) on the ETD defined by the two-body energy with respect to the secordary body in the PCR3BP. An effective construction method of gravity-assist escape trajectories is then proposed. Firstly, the concept of the ETD defined by the mechanical energ…

Bucks County PA went just barely for Trump in 2024,

HLTCOE at TREC 2024 NeuCLIR Track
The HLTCOE team applied PLAID, an mT5 reranker, GPT-4 reranker, score fusion, and document translation to the TREC 2024 NeuCLIR track. For PLAID we included a variety of models and training techniques -- Translate Distill (TD), Generate Distill (GD) and multi-lingual translate-distill (MTD). TD uses scores from the mT5 model over English MS MARCO query-document pairs to learn how to score query-document pairs where the documents are translated to match the CLIR setting. GD follows TD but uses p…

Enhanced Fingerprint-based Positioning With Practical Imperfections: Deep learning-based approaches
High-precision positioning is vital for cellular networks to support innovative applications such as extended reality, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Existing positioning algorithms using deep learning techniques require vast amounts of labeled data, which are difficult to obtain in real-world cellular environments, and these models often struggle to generalize effectively. To advance cellular positioning techniques, the 2024 Wireless Communica…

We describe the scientific objectives and instrument design of the ASPIICS coronagraph launched aboard the Proba-3 mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) on 5 December 2024. Proba-3 consists of two spacecraft in a highly elliptical orbit around the Earth. One spacecraft carries the telescope, and the external occulter is mounted on the second spacecraft. The two spacecraft fly in a precise formation during 6 hours out of 19.63 hour orbit, together forming a giant solar coronagraph called AS…

Multiband Optical Photometric and Spectroscopic Monitoring of the 2024 Flare Event in Transition Blazar OP313
Blazars are active galactic nuclei known for their extreme variability, offering unique opportunities to study jet physics and high-energy emission mechanisms. In 2024, the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ) OP313 underwent a remarkable flare event, during which the gamma-ray flux observed by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi/LAT) increased by a factor of 60 over its average value. The flare peak lasted less than two days. Using optical telescopes, we conducted 100-day time-scale observation…

The Torelli locus and Newton polygons
This manuscript is about abelian varieties that are Jacobians of curves. I started writing it for a lecture series at the Arizona Winter School in 2024 on abelian varieties. A longer more descriptive title might be: The Torelli locus in the moduli space of abelian varieties, with applications to Newton polygons of curves in positive characteristic. To elaborate, this manuscript covers two topics: the first is about the geometry of the Torelli locus; the second is about the arithmetic invariants…

On the Effect of Tap Changers and Nonlinear Loads on Voltage Stability
On 21 June 2024, a severe incident happened in the South-Eastern part of the Continental European power system. After a voltage collapse, large parts of Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as Croatia suffered from a blackout [1]. The initial tripping of two transmission lines resulted in a voltage collapse in these countries. Investigations have shown that a) transformers with on-load tap changers (OLTC) and b) nonlinear loads, in particular air conditioning systems, played a si…

Pinching of ICME Flux Rope: Unprecedented Multipoint Observations of Internal Magnetic Reconnection during Gannon's Superstorm
The extreme solar storm of May 10, 2024, during the 25th solar cycle, which recorded a symmetric H component index (Sym-H) reaching -500 nT, was the strongest since the 2003 Halloween storm. This event offered a unique opportunity for unprecedented multipoint observation of the complex interaction of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICME) from different vantage points. Utilizing NASA's Wind, ACE, DSCOVR, THEMIS-C, STEREO-A, MMS, and ISRO's recently launched Aditya-L1 spacecraft, we compre…

On generalized disc-polygons in plane convex bodies with a higher degree of smoothness
We prove power series expansions for the expectations of the number of vertices and missed area of random $L$-convex polygons in planar convex bodies with sufficiently smooth boundaries. Random $L$-convex polygons arise as the intersection of all translates of a fixed convex set $L$ that contain i.i.d. uniform random points from a suitable plane convex body $K$. Our results extend the asymptotic formulas proved in Fodor, Papvári and Vígh (2020) and Fodor and Montenegro (2024), and have conseq…
