Havumetsän lapset
Ovatko nuoret sankareita vai kriminaaleja puolustaessaan metsien koskemattomuutta? Vastustajinaan he kohtaavat Suomen metsäteollisuuden ja kansallisen ideologian metsistä taloudellisen hyvinvoinnin perustana. Humaani tarina kuljettaa katsojan lumoavalle matkalle metsän kauneuteen, mutta myös ravistelee kohtaamaan sen hädän. O: Virpi Suutari T: Euphoria Film Oy (Suomi 2024) Kuvailutulkattu

CLAP: Clustering to Localize Across n Possibilities, A Simple, Robust Geometric Approach in the Presence of Symmetries
In this paper, we present our localization method called CLAP, Clustering to Localize Across $n$ Possibilities, which helped us win the RoboCup 2024 adult-sized autonomous humanoid soccer competition. Competition rules limited our sensor suite to stereo vision and an inertial sensor, similar to humans. In addition, our robot had to deal with varying lighting conditions, dynamic feature occlusions, noise from high-impact stepping, and mistaken features from bystanders and neighboring fields. The…

One possible reason is the high level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Asymptotic potential of a rose-shaped disk
Based on extensive numerical evidence, a recent paper (Sheng Chen et al., Eur. J. Phys. {\bf 45} (2024), 045703) suggested that the potential of a uniformly charged rose-shaped disk in the plane of the disk has a simple asymptotic form. We present an analytical proof of this interesting conjecture.

BTW - that CBC article used a lot of numbers from this report, which because it's all numbers is awesome. Some tidbits:
- The number of farms over 3,500 acres has nearly doubled in 20 years.
- 41.3% of Canadian farmland is rented.
- From 1971 to 2021, the farm population declined by 62.2%, from 1 in 14 Canadians to 1 in 61.
- Farm debt has more than doubled in the last 20 years, from $43B in 2002 to $138.8B in 2022. That is currently 10x the size of net farm income.
- In 2021, 96,043 tonnes of pesticides were sold for agricultural use – more than three times the amount sold in 1991.

Upper bound coefficient for convolution structure associated to Hartley--Bessel transform
This paper is devoted to the study of a convolution structure denoted by $*_α$, which is defined via the Hartley--Bessel transform. This concept was introduced in a recent work by F. Bouzeffour [\emph{J. Pseudo-Differ. Oper. Appl.}, 2024;15, Article 42]. We establish an analog of the Hausdorff--Young inequality for the Hartley--Bessel transform and convolution operator $*_α$. This leads to the convolution $*_α$ being uniformly bounded on the dual space. Moreover, in some special cases, our r…

Thoughts on Rust hashing
In languages like Python, Java, or C++, values are hashed by calling a “hash me” method on them, implemented by the type author. This fixed-hash size is then immediately used by the hash table or what have you. This design suffers from some obvious problems, like: How do you hash an integer?
