Pareto-optimal Non-uniform Language Generation
Kleinberg and Mullainathan (2024) recently proposed an interesting model for language generation in the limit: Given a countable collection of languages, and an adversary enumerating the strings of some language $L$ from the collection, the objective is to generate new strings from the target language, such that all strings generated beyond some finite time are valid. Li, Raman and Tewari (2024) and Charikar and Pabbaraju (2024) showed strong non-uniform generation guarantees in this model, giv…

In this note we show that the only result of [Rocky Mountain J. Math. 54 (2024), no. 4, 995--1004] is nothing more than a misformulated version of an exercise from classical texts, presented with a flawed proof. To place the matter on firmer ground, we provide instead a direct solution of a more general problem.

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…

The Role of Far-side Magnetic Structures in Modeling 2024 Solar Eclipse
The corona is a crucial region that connects the solar surface to the solar wind and serves as the primary site of solar activity. The 2024 total solar eclipse (TSE) provides a unique opportunity to investigate the large-scale coronal structure. Combined with TSE observations, we study the impact of the magnetic structure of the far-side active region, located in the eastern hemisphere of the Sun that has not yet rotated into the Earth Field-of-View (FoV), on a global Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) …

When Does Tourism Raise Land Prices? Threshold Effects, Superstar Cities, and Policy Lessons from Japan
While tourism is widely regarded as a catalyst for economic and urban transformation, its effects on land prices remain contested. This study examines tourism and land prices using a panel of 1,724 Japanese municipalities from 2021 to 2024, with annual tourist arrivals as a proxy for tourism activity. 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…

The burning number conjecture holds for trees of order $n$ with at most $\left\lfloor \sqrt{n-1}\right\rfloor$ degree-2 vertices

The burning number conjecture holds for trees of order $n$ with at most $\left\lfloor \sqrt{n-1}\right\rfloor$ degree-2 vertices
Inspired by the spread of information in social networks and graph-theoretic processes such as Firefighting and graph cleaning, Bonato, Janssen and Roshanbin introduced in 2016 the burning number $b(G)$ of any finite graph $G$. They conjectured that $b(G)\le \lceil n^\frac{1}{2}\rceil$ holds for all connected graphs $G$ of order $n$, and observed that it suffices to prove the conjecture for all trees. In 2024, Murakami confirmed the conjecture for trees without degree-2 vertices. In this paper,…

Improved Bounds on Access-Redundancy Tradeoffs in Quantized Linear Computations
Consider the problem of computing quantized linear functions with only a few queries. Formally, given $\mathbf{x}\in \mathbb{R}^k$, our goal is to encode $\mathbf{x}$ as $\mathbf{c} \in \mathbb{R}^n$, for $n > k$, so that for any $\mathbf{w} \in A^k$, $\mathbf{w}^T \mathbf{x}$ can be computed using at most $\ell$ queries to $\mathbf{c}$.

Despite their central role in processing queries, parsers have not received any noticeable attention in the data systems space. State-of-the art systems are content with ancient old parser generators. These generators create monolithic, inflexible and unforgiving parsers that hinder innovation in query languages and frustrate users. Instead, parsers should be rewritten using modern abstractions like Parser Expression Grammars (PEG), which allow dynamic changes to the accepted query syntax and b…

Detection of OH maser emission in the 71-year periodic comet 12P/Pons-Brooks using the 40-m Thai National Radio Telescope (TNRT)
Although the optical cometary database is extensive, the radio database is limited. The 18-cm OH maser observations of comets allow us to determine (i) the production rate of OH ($Q_{\rm{OH}}$) and (ii) the water expansion velocity, for each comet. To reveal the physical properties of the periodic comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, we conducted the OH maser observations of the comet using the 40-m TNRT (Thai National Radio Telescope) on March 22nd, 27th and 29th, 2024 before the perihelion passage on April…

Measurement of dome turbulence intensity from scintillation pattern in the pupil of the telescope
We present measurements of optical turbulence (OT) power inside the telescope dome using an instrument registering fluctuations of intensity of a bright star at a plane conjugated to -2 km below the pupil of the telescope - Domecam. The measurements were conducted at the 2.5-m telescope of Caucasian Mountain Observatory of Sternberg Astronomical Institute Lomonosov Moscow State University in period 2022-2024 in different ambient conditions. The instrument was validated against Multi Aperture Sc…

Nonlinear Fisher information, corresponding functional inequalities and applications
We study the evolution of the nonlinear version of the Fisher information along the quasilinear heat equation. We also provide a nonlinear version of a recent functional inequality (Cieślak--Fuest--Hajduk--Sierżęga, 2024), corresponding to the nonlinear heat equation. Next, applications of our version of nonlinear Fisher information to the 1D critical quasilinear fully parabolic Keller--Segel system are given. In particular, the global existence of solutions to the critical nonlinear diffusi…

»Auch wenn tüchtige Sekretärinnen immer sehr geschätzt wurden, zeigt sich hier ein respektvoller Umgang, der in den späteren Jahren verloren ging. Möglicherweise lag es daran, dass Sekretär zu dieser Zeit ein angesehener Männerberuf war und die ersten Sekretärinnen von diesem Ansehen profitierten. Oftmals verlieren Berufe ihren Status, wenn er zu einem Frauenberuf wird.«

Multiband Optical Photometric and Spectroscopic Monitoring of the 2024 Flare Event in Transition Blazar OP313
Blazars are active galactic nuclei known for their extreme variability, offering unique opportunities to study jet physics and high-energy emission mechanisms. In 2024, the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ) OP313 underwent a remarkable flare event, during which the gamma-ray flux observed by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi/LAT) increased by a factor of 60 over its average value. The flare peak lasted less than two days. Using optical telescopes, we conducted 100-day time-scale observation…

To cut or not to cut: Data-quality evaluation for the ASTRI Mini-Array
The ASTRI Mini-Array consists of nine Cherenkov telescopes under construction at the Observatorio del Teide, with one of them already performing observations since November 2024. Given the complexity of the analysis of gamma-ray data acquired with Cherenkov telescopes, a proper evaluation of the quality of these data is important to avoid a negative impact on the high-level scientific products. There are several factors that can contribute to reducing the quality of the observations, such as cl…
