Runtime-Extensible SQL Parsers Using PEG
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…

Symmetry analysis and new partially invariant solutions for the gas dynamics system with a special equation of state
This paper is a contribution to the symmetry analysis of the gas dynamics system in the vein of the ''podmodeli'' (submodels) program outlined by Ovsyannikov (1994). We consider the case of the special state equation, prescribing pressure to be the sum of entropy and an arbitrary function of density. Such a system has a 12-dimensional symmetry Lie algebra. This work advances the study of its four-dimensional subalgebras, continuing the work started in Siraeva (2024). For a large subset of not p…

Informal Education is Essential to Physics: Findings of the 2024 JNIPER Summit and Recommendations for Action
In order to reach the full civic and scientific potential of physics, this white paper calls for a culture change in physics to recognize informal physics education (also referred to as public engagement or outreach) as an essential disciplinary practice. That is, engaging in informal physics education (IPE) is part of what it means to ''do physics.'' In June 2024, we hosted a summit with forty-two members of the Joint Network for Informal Physics Education and Research (JNIPER) to discuss conc…

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…

Some bounds on the number of non isomorphic cyclic k-cycle systems of the complete graph
In a recent paper (2024) M. Buratti and M.E:Muzychuck have established some lower bounds on the number of non isomorphic cyclic Steiner Triple Systems of order $v\equiv 1$ (mod $6$). We complete their result to the case $v\equiv 3$ (mod $6$). For each odd $k > 3$ we also find lower bounds for the number of non isomorphic cyclic $k$-cycle systems of a complete graph.

Consciousness Self and Language
Theories of consciousness depend on data, and it needs to be appropriate data, without overwhelming confounding factors. The reports of Minimal Phenomenal Experience (MPE) in [Metzinger 2024] relate to consciousness in a state purer than everyday consciousness, which may have fewer confounding factors. This essay suggests that the confounding factors, which are absent or diminished in MPE states, are related to language. The self which is absent in mindful states is a product of language. The l…

Scaling and Data Saturation in Protein Language Models
Data in biology is redundant, noisy, and sparse. How does the type and scale of available data impact model performance? In this work, we specifically investigate how protein language models (pLMs) scale with increasing pretraining data. We investigate this relationship by measuring the performance of protein function prediction on a suite of pLMs pretrained on yearly snapshots of UniRef100 from 2011 to 2024. We find no evidence of model saturation on this task: performance improves--but not mo…

Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

Network Contagion in Financial Labor Markets: Predicting Turnover in Hong Kong
Employee turnover is a critical challenge in financial markets, yet little is known about the role of professional networks in shaping career moves. Using the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) public register (2007-2024), we construct temporal networks of 121,883 professionals and 4,979 firms to analyze and predict employee departures. We introduce a graph-based feature propagation framework that captures peer influence and organizational stability. Our analysis shows a contagio…

Electricity Market Predictability: Virtues of Machine Learning and Links to the Macroeconomy
With stakeholder-level in-market data, we conduct a comparative analysis of machine learning (ML) for forecasting electricity prices in Singapore, spanning 15 individual models and 4 ensemble approaches. Our empirical findings justify the three virtues of ML models: (1) the virtue of capturing non-linearity, (2) the complexity (Kelly et al., 2024) and (3) the l2-norm and bagging techniques in a weak factor environment (Shen and Xiu, 2024). Simulation also supports the first virtue. Penalizing p…

Handling fabrication defects in hex-grid surface codes
Recent work has shown that a hexagonal grid qubit layout, with only three couplers per qubit, is sufficient to implement the surface code with performance comparable to that of a traditional four-coupler layout [McEwen et al., 2023]. In this work we propose a method for handling broken qubits and couplers even in hex-grid surface code architectures, using an extension of the LUCI framework [Debroy et al., 2024]. We show that for isolated broken qubits, the circuit distance drops by one, while f…

The Schwarz lemma for holomorphic and minimal disks at the boundary
We first prove a Boundary Schwarz lemma for holomorphic disks on the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Further by using a Schwarz lemma for minimal conformal disks of Forstneri\v c and Kalaj (F.~Forstneri{č} and D.~Kalaj. \newblock Schwarz-pick lemma for harmonic maps which are conformal at a point. \newblock {\em Anal. PDE}, 17(3):981--1003, 2024.) we prove the boundary Schwarz lemma for such minimal disks.

The Complexity of Color-constrained Paths in Semicomplete Multipartite Digraphs
Every semicomplete multipartite digraph contains a quasi-Hamiltonian path, but the problem of finding a quasi-Hamiltonian path with prescribed start and end vertex is NP-complete even when restricted to semicomplete multipartite digraphs with independence number exactly 3. Bang-Jensen, Wang and Yeo (arXiv 2024) showed that deciding the presence of a quasi-Hamiltonian cycle which does not contain at least one vertex from each color class is NP-complete. Similarly, deciding the presence of a quas…

Efficient Algorithms for Disjoint Shortest Paths Problem and its Extensions
We study the 2-Disjoint Shortest Paths (2-DSP) problem: given a directed weighted graph and two terminal pairs $(s_1,t_1)$ and $(s_2,t_2)$, decide whether there exist vertex-disjoint shortest paths between each pair. Building on recent advances in disjoint shortest paths for DAGs and undirected graphs (Akmal et al. 2024), we present an $O(mn \log n)$ time algorithm for this problem in weighted directed graphs that do not contain negative or zero weight cycles. This algorithm presents a signif…

Number of orbits of $k$-subsets of permutations
Let $S_n$ denote the symmetric group of order $n$. Say that two subsets $x, y\subseteq S_n$ are \emph{equivalent} if there exist permutations $g_1, g_2\in S_n$ such that $g_1xg_2=y$, where multiplication is understood elementwise. Recently, [Tripathi, 2024] and [Kushwaha and Triathi, 2025] asked for the asymptotics of $T(n,k)$, the number of subsets of $S_n$ of size $k$ up to this equivalence. It is easy to see that $T(n,0)=T(n, 1)=1$ and $T(n, 2)=p(n)-1$, where $p(n)$ is the number of integer …

Tricyclic graphs for which the second largest distance eigenvalue less than $-\frac{1}{2}$
Let $G$ be a simple connected graph with vertex set $V(G)=\{v_{1}, v_{2}, \ldots, v_{n}\}$. The distance $d_G(v_i,v_j)$ between two vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ of $G$ is the length of a shortest path between $v_i$ and $v_j$. The distance matrix of $G$ is defined as $D(G)=(d_G(v_i,v_j))_{n\times n}$. The second largest distance eigenvalue of \( G \) is the second largest eigenvalues of $D(G)$. Guo and Zhou [Discrete Math. 347(2024), 114082] proved that any connected graph with the second largest di…
