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…

Simulating from marginal structural models for hazards, cause-specific hazards and subdistribution hazards using general copulas
Seaman and Keogh (Biometrical Journal 2024) proposed a method for simulating data compatible with a marginal structural model (MSM) for the hazard of a survival time outcome. In this short report, I propose two extensions of this method. First, Seaman and Keogh favoured the use of a Gaussian copula, because this enables the function of the confounder history through which the hazard of failure depends on confounders to be interpreted as a risk score. Here, I describe how this interpretation can…

Despite their central role in processing queries, parsers have not received any noticeable attention in the data systems space.

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…

Technical Note: Low-Dose Simulation for Grating-Based X-Ray Dark-Field Radiography Using a Virtually Decreased Irradiation Area
Background: X-ray dark-field radiography uses small-angle scattering to visualize the structural integrity of lung alveoli. To study the influence of dose reduction on clinical dark-field radiographs, one can simulate low-dose images by virtually reducing the irradiated area. However, these simulations can exhibit stripe artifacts. Purpose: Validation of the low-dose simulation algorithm reported by Schick & Bast et al., PLoS ONE, 2024. Furthermore, we want to demonstrate that stripe artifacts …

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.

Graphs Excluding a Minor in Blowups of Treewidth 3 Graphs
Alon, Seymour, and Thomas [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 1990] famously showed that every $n$-vertex $K_h$-minor-free graph has treewidth $O_h(\sqrt{n})$. Recently, Distel, Dujmović, Eppstein, Hickingbotham, Joret, Micek, Morin, Seweryn, and Wood [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 2024] refined this by showing that these graphs are $O_h(\sqrt{n})$-blowups of treewidth $4$ graphs. We improve this by showing that these graphs are $O_h(\sqrt{n})$-blowups of treewidth $3$ graphs.

Pathwidth of 2-Layer $k$-Planar Graphs
A bipartite graph $G = (X \cup Y, E)$ is a 2-layer $k$-planar graph if it admits a drawing on the plane such that the vertices in $X$ and $Y$ are placed on two parallel lines respectively, edges are drawn as straight-line segments, and every edge involves at most $k$ crossings. Angelini, Da Lozzo, Förster, and Schneck [GD 2020; Comput. J., 2024] showed that every 2-layer $k$-planar graph has pathwidth at most $k + 1$. In this paper, we show that this bound is sharp by giving a 2-layer $k$-plan…

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…

On the pancyclicity of $2$-connected $[5,3]$-graphs

On the pancyclicity of $2$-connected $[5,3]$-graphs
A graph $G$ is called an $[s,t]$-graph if any induced subgraph of $G$ of order $s$ has size at least $t$. In 2024, Zhan conjectured that every $2$-connected $[p + 2, p]$-graph of order at least $2p + 3$ and with minimum degree at least $p$ is pancyclic, where $p$ is an integer with $3 \leq p \leq 5$. In this paper, we confirm the conjecture for the case $p=3$, thereby taking the first step toward a complete resolution of the conjecture.
