Доля расходов россиян на еду подскочила до рекорда с начала войны.
Стремительное ускорение инфляции после накачки экономики триллиоными расходами на войну ударило по карманам российских потребителей. Доля расходов граждан РФ на покупку продуктов питания в апреле 2025 года достигла максимума с начала войны в Украине, показало исследование холдинга «Ромир».
В среднем потребители тратили на еду 34,6% своих расходов против 33% в начале года и 28,6% в апреле-2024. Зафиксированный «Ромир…

Inverted Classroom in der Einführungsveranstaltung Programmierung
Traditionally, the introductory programming course for computer science students at Nuremberg Tech had been implemented as a combination of lectures and exercise sessions. Due to high failure rates in the winter semester 2023/24, an experimental teaching concept based on the inverted classroom was implemented for one cohort in the winter semester 2024/25. Students had to prepare themselves through literature work and activating teaching and learning methods. The course was accompanied by a seri…

Hybrid Ensemble of Segmentation-Assisted Classification and GBDT for Skin Cancer Detection with Engineered Metadata and Synthetic Lesions from ISIC 2024 Non-Dermoscopic 3D-TBP Images
Skin cancer is among the most prevalent and life-threatening diseases worldwide, with early detection being critical to patient outcomes. This work presents a hybrid machine and deep learning-based approach for classifying malignant and benign skin lesions using the SLICE-3D dataset from ISIC 2024, which comprises 401,059 cropped lesion images extracted from 3D Total Body Photography (TBP), emulating non-dermoscopic, smartphone-like conditions. Our method combines vision transformers (EVA02) an…

Solar Surface Magnetic Field Simulation from 2010 to 2024 and Anomalous Southern Poleward Flux Transport in Cycle 24
The solar surface magnetic field is fundamental for modeling the coronal magnetic field, studying the solar dynamo, and predicting solar cycle strength. We perform a continuous simulation of the surface magnetic field from 2010 to 2024, covering solar cycle 24 and the ongoing cycle 25, using the surface flux transport model with assimilated observed active regions (ARs) as the source. The simulation reproduces the evolution of the axial dipole strength, polar field reversal timing, and magnetic…

Amazon degradation increases by 163% in two years, while deforestation falls by 54% in the same period
The accelerated degradation of the Brazilian Amazon, primarily due to fires, has overshadowed the significant reduction in deforestation from 2022 to 2024. This "negative balance" in protecting the biome jeopardizes the international goals for combating the climate crisis that have been assumed by the country, which is hosting the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) this year.

A Nitrogen-rich AGN Powering a Large Ionizing Bubble at z=8.63
We report the detection of Ly$α$ in CANUCS-LRD-z8.6, a recently discovered AGN at z = 8.63 by Tripodi et al. (2024), in new NIRSpec/MSA G140H/F070LP observations. We detect broad Ly$α$ emission (FWHM $= 1540 \pm 260$ km/s) near the systemic velocity, which suggests a large ionizing bubble considering that the universe is almost fully neutral at the redshift. Through Ly$α$ line-shape modeling assuming a Stromgren sphere, we find a large bubble radius, $R_b = 1.5^{+0.3}_{-0.2}$ pMpc, and a mod…

Hrmm, seems like my HOTAS setup doesn't work with MSFS 2024 under Linux which is very annoying. Not quite sure _why_ it's not working other than as far as MSFS is concerned it does not exist. `usbreset` shows it and I can see outputs from the device, but for this specific game it's a no-go at the moment. Very annoying.

Symmetry oscillations sensitivity to SU(2)-symmetry breaking in quantum mixtures

Symmetry oscillations sensitivity to SU(2)-symmetry breaking in quantum mixtures
In one-dimensional bosonic quantum mixtures with SU(2)-symmetry breaking Hamiltonian, the dynamical evolution explores different particle exchange symmetry sectors. For the case of infinitely strong intra-species repulsion, the hallmark of such symmetry oscillations are time modulations of the momentum distribution [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 183402 (2024)], an observable routinely accessed in experiments with ultracold atoms. In this work we show that this phenomenon is robust in strongly interacti…

Implementation and Basis Construction for Smooth Finite Element Spaces
The construction of $C^m$ conforming finite elements on simplicial meshes has recently advanced through the groundbreaking work of Hu, Lin, and Wu (Found. Comput. Math. 24, 2024). Their framework characterizes smoothness via moments of normal derivatives over subsimplices, leading to explicit degrees of freedom and unisolvence, unifying earlier constructions. However, the absence of explicit basis functions has left these spaces largely inaccessible for practical computation. In parallel, multi…

All-sky search for long-duration gravitational-wave transients in the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Observing run
We present an all-sky search for long-duration gravitational waves (GWs) from the first part of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run (O4), called O4a and comprising data taken between 24 May 2023 and 16 January 2024. The GW signals targeted by this search are the so-called "long-duration" (> 1 s) transients expected from a variety of astrophysical processes, including non-axisymmetric deformations in magnetars or eccentric binary coalescences. We make minimal assumptions on the emitted GW …
