Closed newspapers in Wyoming and South Dakota are saved as buyers swoop in
A dozen newspapers in Wyoming and South Dakota are set to publish again after buyers stepped in to keep the communities from becoming news deserts where little or no local media remains. This quick action is notable in an industry where, according to a 2024 report from the Medill School of Journalism, more than two newspapers close each week. Illinois-based News Media Corporation had announced the closure of 31 outlets in five states. Within two weeks, new buyers in Wyoming and North Carolina p…

This scoping review examines the literature on student explanation strategies in middle and secondary mathematics and statistics education from 2014 to 2024.

Both approaches enhance conceptual understanding and procedural knowledge, though each offers distinct benefits and challenges. SE is particularly…

An Entropy-Guided Curriculum Learning Strategy for Data-Efficient Acoustic Scene Classification under Domain Shift
Acoustic Scene Classification (ASC) faces challenges in generalizing across recording devices, particularly when labeled data is limited. The DCASE 2024 Challenge Task 1 highlights this issue by requiring models to learn from small labeled subsets recorded on a few devices. These models need to then generalize to recordings from previously unseen devices under strict complexity constraints. While techniques such as data augmentation and the use of pre-trained models are well-established for imp…

Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago that is technically a part of Norway, lies about halfway between the northernmost part of Norway and the North Pole. Currently, about 60% of Svalbard's surface is covered in glaciers, but these glaciers are melting rapidly. During the summer of 2024, Svalbard experienced a record-breaking heat wave that melted more of its glaciers than ever before.

On Structured State-Space Duality
Structured State-Space Duality (SSD) [Dao & Gu, ICML 2024] is an equivalence between a simple Structured State-Space Model (SSM) and a masked attention mechanism. In particular, a state-space model with a scalar-times-identity state matrix is equivalent to a masked self-attention with a $1$-semiseparable causal mask. Consequently, the same sequence transformation (model) has two algorithmic realizations: as a linear-time $O(T)$ recurrence or as a quadratic-time $O(T^2)$ attention. In this note,…

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…

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…
