Lower numbers in Flensburg🇩🇪 are always desirable - whether it's points for German drivers (traffic fines) - or district heating temperatures. By reducing the need for 95°C heat from 10 > 1%, it's much easier to let heat pumps take over most of the heat supply. That's what the local utility will do.

Transformation in Flensburg: low temperatures for efficient heat pumps
As an innovative public utility company, Stadtwerke Flensburg is committed to decarbonisation and CO2 neutrality. To achieve this goal, the municipal utility company is working with Gradyent to reduce temperatures in the district heating system. As part of the partnership, the two companies have found a way to reduce the necessary annual heat share with a temperature above 95°C from around 10% to 1%. This means that heat pumps can be used to a higher extent and operated efficiently.

Why an extension for Dak Prescott is still the most likely outcome https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/why_an_extension_for_dak_prescott_is_still_the_most_likely_outcome/s1_17100_40163602

Why an extension for Dak Prescott is still the most likely outcome
In an otherwise very quiet offseason in Dallas, the Cowboys and star quarterback Dak Prescott are once again storming NFL headlines with a contract situation. Following the teams' playoff loss to the Packers, an early-offseason extension looked guaranteed. As the offseason inched closer, however, it was all quiet on both fronts. The issue there is without an extension for Prescott it was going to leave Dallas in salary cap turmoil for this year's free agency period, and that is exactly what hap…

Base-extension Semantics for S5 Modal Logic
We develop a proof-theoretic semantics -- in particular, a base-extension semantics -- for multi-agent S5 modal logic (and hence also for the usual unindexed S5). Following the inferentialist interpretation of logic, this gives us a semantics in which validity is based on proof rather than truth. In base-extension semantics, the validity of formulae is generated by provability in a `base' of atomic rules and an inductive definition of the validity of the connectives. Base-extension semantics fo…

Rose: Efficient and Extensible Autodiff on the Web
Automatic differentiation (AD) has become the backbone for a new wave of optimization-driven domains such as computer graphics and machine learning over the past decade. However, existing AD systems face limitations, either lacking support for in-browser development or failing to harness more recent, compilerbased approaches to achieve both expressiveness and size-preserving differentiation. This work introduces Rose, a portable, extensible AD library that runs on the web. Rose allows users to …

La Patagonie ravagée par un feu de forêt « hors de contrôle »
Après les forêts colombiennes, la Patagonie. Un incendie « hors de contrôle » ravage le parc de Los Alerces, au sud de l’Argentine, a rapporté le 27 janvier l’agence de presse officielle nationale Télam. Les flammes ont rongé près de 600 hectares de ce site classé au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco pour ses forêts de Fitzroya — un arbre à la longévité exceptionnelle, menacé d’extinction —, ses lacs cernés de glaciers et sa faune unique. Cet incendie s’est décl…
