World Breaks Renewable Records but Must Move Faster to Hit 2030 Tripling Goal
The world is falling behind on its renewable energy and efficiency goals despite record progress last year, confirms a new report released today by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the COP30 Brazilian Presidency, and the Global Renewables Alliance (GRA) during a pre-COP30 high-level event in Brasília.

The Adoption Paradox: A Comparative Analysis of Veterinary AI Adoption in China and the North America
This study compares the perception, adoption, and application of artificial intelligence (AI) among veterinary professionals in China and North America (NA), testing the hypothesis that adoption patterns are shaped by regional market and demographic factors. A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted with 455 veterinary professionals in China between May and July 2025. The results were compared with published data from a 2024 survey of 3,968 veterinary professionals in the United State…

An explicit understanding of the (category of all smooth, complex) representations of p-adic groups provides an important tool not just within representation theory.

Inspired by the seminal work of André-Louis Cholesky -- whose contributions remain crucial even after more than a century in broader sciences -- Cooper, Hanna and Whitlatch (2024) developed a theory of positive matrices over finite fields, and Khare and Vishwakarma (2025) described a general Cholesky factorization for a family of the dense cone of Hermitian matrices over real/complex fields, whose leading principal minors (LPM) are nonzero.

As applications of our result, we propose solutions to the recent open problems posed by Mussi et al.

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…

Forecasting Inflation Based on Hybrid Integration of the Riemann Zeta Function and the FPAS Model (FPAS + $ζ$): Cyclical Flexibility, Socio-Economic Challenges and Shocks, and Comparative Analysis of Models
Inflation forecasting is a core socio-economic challenge in modern macroeconomic modeling, especially when cyclical, structural, and shock factors act simultaneously. Traditional systems such as FPAS and ARIMA often struggle with cyclical asymmetry and unexpected fluctuations. This study proposes a hybrid framework (FPAS + $ζ$) that integrates a structural macro model (FPAS) with cyclical components derived from the Riemann zeta function $ζ(1/2 + i t)$. Using Georgia's macro data (2005-2024),…
