Detailed modeling of the light curves reveals that the anomalies in all six events are caused by planetary companions to the lenses. The brief durations…

How candidates evoke identity and issues on TikTok
Social media platforms are increasingly central to campaign communication, with both paid (advertising) and earned (organic) posts used for fundraising, mobilization, and persuasion. TikTok, and other short-form video platforms, with its short-video format and content-driven algorithms, demand unique content. We examine the final six months before the 2024 US Presidential Election to understand how major campaigns used TikTok. We frame our analysis around two political science theories. The fir…

The Geodesics Less Traveled: Nonminimal RT Surfaces and Holographic Scattering
The connected wedge theorem states that in order to have a scattering process in the bulk, it is necessary to have O(1/G) mutual information between certain "decision" regions in the boundary theory. While this large mutual information is not generally sufficient to imply scattering, Caminiti et al. (2024) showed that for a certain class of geometries, bulk scattering is implied by a certain relation between two (possibly non-minimal) Ryu-Takayanagi surfaces. Here, we show that the 2-to-2 versi…

Simultaneous Rational Function Codes: Improved Analysis Beyond Half the Minimum Distance with Multiplicities and Poles
In this paper, we extend the work of Abbondati et al. (2024) on decoding simultaneous rational function codes by addressing two important scenarios: multiplicities and poles (zeros of denominators). First, we generalize previous results to rational codes with multiplicities by considering evaluations with multi-precision. Then, using the hybrid model from Guerrini et al. (2023), we extend our approach to vectors of rational functions that may present poles. Our contributions include: a rigorous…

Control of lumen morphology by lateral and basal cell surfaces
Across development, the morphology of fluid-filled lumina enclosed by epithelial tissues arises from an interplay of lumen pressure, mechanics of the cell cortex, and cell-cell adhesion. Here, we explore the mechanical basis for the control of this interplay using the shape space of MDCK cysts and the instability of their apical surfaces under tight junction perturbations [Mukenhirn et al., Dev. Cell 59, 2886 (2024)]. We discover that the cysts respond to these perturbations by significantly mo…

Using mediation analysis and panel threshold regression, we show that sizable land price increases are concentrated in a small group of "superstar" cities, specifically those in the top 5.9 percen…

A survey on proximity monitoring and warning in construction
Various technologies have been applied to monitor the proximity between two construction entities, preventing struck-by accidents and thereby enhancing onsite safety. This study comprehensively reviews related efforts dedicated to proximity monitoring and warning (PMW) based on 97 relevant articles published between 2010 and 2024. The bibliometric analysis reveals the technical roadmap over time, as well as the five most influential leaders and the two largest research networks they have establ…

The multi-physics analysis, design and testing of CUSP, a CubeSat mission for space weather and solar flares x-ray polarimetry
The space-based CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) mission aims to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the hard X-ray band by means of a Compton scattering polarimeter. CUSP is a project in the framework of the Alcor Program of the Italian Space Agency aimed at developing new CubeSat missions. As part of CUSP's Phase B study, which began in December 2024 and will last one year, we present the current development status of the design solutions adopted for the mission's most critical…

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…

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…

Solving Polynomial Systems with Gröbner Bases: An Introduction to F4 and FGLM
These notes originate from a reading course held by the authors in the spring of 2024 at the Università di Genova. They provide a hands-on introduction to the F4 and FGLM algorithms. In addition to the notes, we present two implementations of the algorithms: FGLM in CoCoALib and F4 in Sage. These implementations closely follow the structure of the algorithms as described here and are intended to help readers experiment with them in practice, thereby gaining a deeper understanding.

The ASPIICS solar coronagraph aboard the Proba-3 formation flying mission. Scientific objectives and instrument design
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…

Range characterization of the ray transform on Sobolev spaces of symmetric tensor fields in two dimensions
The ray transform $I_m$ integrates a symmetric $m$ rank tensor field $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ over lines. In the case of $n\ge3$, the range characterization of the operator $I_m$ on weighted Sobolev spaces $H^{s}_t({\mathbb R}^n;S^m{\mathbb R}^n)$ was obtained in [V. Krishnan and V. Sharafutdinov. Range characterization of ray transform on Sobolev spaces of symmetric tensor fields. Inverse Problems and Imaging, 18(6), 1272--1293, 2024]. Here we obtain a range characterization result in higher orde…

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…
