Calcium bright knots and the formation of chromospheric anemone jets on the Sun
Space-based observations show that the solar atmosphere from the solar chromosphere to the solar corona is filled with small-scale jets and is linked with small-scale explosions. These jets may be produced by mechanisms similar to that of large-scale flares and such jets may be related to the heating of corona and chromosphere as well as the acceleration of solar wind. The chromospheric anemone jets on the Sun remain puzzling because their footpoints (or bright knots) have not been well resolve…

SCANIA Component X Dataset: A Real-World Multivariate Time Series Dataset for Predictive Maintenance
This paper presents a description of a real-world, multivariate time series dataset collected from an anonymized engine component (called Component X) of a fleet of trucks from SCANIA, Sweden. This dataset includes diverse variables capturing detailed operational data, repair records, and specifications of trucks while maintaining confidentiality by anonymization. It is well-suited for a range of machine learning applications, such as classification, regression, survival analysis, and anomaly d…

TrustRate: A Decentralized Platform for Hijack-Resistant Anonymous Reviews
Reviews and ratings by users form a central component in several widely used products today (e.g., product reviews, ratings of online content, etc.), but today's platforms for managing such reviews are ad-hoc and vulnerable to various forms of tampering and hijack by fake reviews either by bots or motivated paid workers. We define a new metric called 'hijack-resistance' for such review platforms, and then present TrustRate, an end-to-end decentralized, hijack-resistant platform for authentic, a…

Does the EU's proposal to ban cryptocurrency payments to anonymous hosted wallets also pertain to hosted wallets that are not anonymous, e.g. have gone through full AML/KYC checks?
If so then at @… we'd probably have to stop accepting bitcoin payments. I don't like bitcoin but some customers do rely on it to pay so I keep it working for them.
