Video shared by the USGS on social media shows mud spraying up and out from the murky hot spring just before 9.23am local time in Biscuit Basin.
Black Diamond Pool lies about midway between the famous Old Faithful geyser and Grand Prismatic Spring, the park’s largest spring.
A hydrothermal explosion at Black Diamond in July 2024 sent rocks and mud flying hundreds of feet high and damaged a boardwalk used by visitors, prompting the closure of the area

I'm waiting for the slide where they estimate the much higher cost of all the unmetered parking spaces across the city, and of turning off meters at 6pm and on Sundays. I'm sure that'll definitely be later in this presentation, right?

I really hate to play the “age card,” folks, but back in my day (2023 and 2024), I distinctly recall that a president with apparent mental infirmities was nigh unto scandalous.
For a press so dedicated to sanewashing the Trump administration’s open sewer of corruption, the kid gloves treatment still seems the order of the day.
This week, The Atlantic’s Jonathan Lemire published a lengthy exegesis of the “President Trump is increasingly isolated” variety, titled “The Bubble-Wrapp…

Hey, Does Anyone Want to Talk About Donald Trump’s Infirmities?
He’s clearly slipping, mentally and physically, but the political press suddenly finds it less newsworthy that we have a woefully aging president.

A Note on the Paper "Localization of Zeros of Polar Polynomials on the Unit Disk"
In this note we show that the only result of [Rocky Mountain J. Math. 54 (2024), no. 4, 995--1004] is nothing more than a misformulated version of an exercise from classical texts, presented with a flawed proof. To place the matter on firmer ground, we provide instead a direct solution of a more general problem.

General framework for quantifying dissipation pathways in open quantum systems. III. Off-diagonal system-bath couplings
Ignacio Gustin, Chang Woo Kim, Ignacio Franco

General framework for quantifying dissipation pathways in open quantum systems. III. Off-diagonal system-bath couplings
This paper extends the previously reported theory of dissipation pathways [J. Chem. Phys. 160, 214111 (2024)] to incorporate off-diagonal subsystem-bath coupling, which is often required to model molecular systems where the environment directly influences transitions and couplings between subsystem states. We systematically derive master equations for both population transfer and dissipation into individual bath components, for which we also rigorously prove energy conservation and detailed bal…

Symmetry analysis and new partially invariant solutions for the gas dynamics system with a special equation of state

Symmetry analysis and new partially invariant solutions for the gas dynamics system with a special equation of state
This paper is a contribution to the symmetry analysis of the gas dynamics system in the vein of the ''podmodeli'' (submodels) program outlined by Ovsyannikov (1994). We consider the case of the special state equation, prescribing pressure to be the sum of entropy and an arbitrary function of density. Such a system has a 12-dimensional symmetry Lie algebra. This work advances the study of its four-dimensional subalgebras, continuing the work started in Siraeva (2024). For a large subset of not p…

Machines in the Crowd? Measuring the Footprint of Machine-Generated Text on Reddit
Generative Artificial Intelligence is reshaping online communication by enabling large-scale production of Machine-Generated Text (MGT) at low cost. While its presence is rapidly growing across the Web, little is known about how MGT integrates into social media environments. In this paper, we present the first large-scale characterization of MGT on Reddit. Using a state-of-the-art statistical method for detection of MGT, we analyze over two years of activity (2022-2024) across 51 subreddits rep…

Detection of OH maser emission in the 71-year periodic comet 12P/Pons-Brooks using the 40-m Thai National Radio Telescope (TNRT)
Although the optical cometary database is extensive, the radio database is limited. The 18-cm OH maser observations of comets allow us to determine (i) the production rate of OH ($Q_{\rm{OH}}$) and (ii) the water expansion velocity, for each comet. To reveal the physical properties of the periodic comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, we conducted the OH maser observations of the comet using the 40-m TNRT (Thai National Radio Telescope) on March 22nd, 27th and 29th, 2024 before the perihelion passage on April…

Itô-Wentzell formulas for semimartingale conditional laws with applications to mean-field control
The present paper is an extension of Fadle-Touzi (2024). Following the same methodology, merely based on Taylor expansions, we establish the Itô and Itô-Wentzell formulae for flows of conditional distributions of general semimartingales, thus allowing for discontinuous semimartingales with possibly discontinuous flows of conditional marginals. We apply these results to derive the dynamic programming equations corresponding to mean field control problems with Poisson type common noise and mean…

Good Morning #Canada
This morning, our old Mazda goes in for new brakes, front and back, and install the snow tires. While sipping my coffee, I was wondering about auto stats in Canada....
- Canada ranks 23rd worldwide in vehicles per 1,000 people. USA ranks 10th.
- COVID put and end to rising car ownership. In 2020 there were 473 vehicles for every 1,000 people. Today, it's estimated to be 408.
- 11% of Canadians own 3 or more vehicles, 2% own 5 or more.
- 9% own an electric vehicle or hybrid.
- 78% of Canadians say it would be impossible for them not to have a car.
- 41% wish they had better transportation options to avoid needing a car altogether.
- Compared to 2024, car ownership costs have increased 9 per cent, rising from $5,025 to $5,497 annually.
