Accelerating the Adoption of Open Science
Last July I attended “Accelerating the Adoption of Open Science”, a week-long open science summit co-organized by CERN and NASA in Geneva, Switzerland. In the following I want to share some outcomes from the event. At the meeting, more than a hundred institutional stakeholders committed to accelerating the transition to a more open, participatory, equitable, robust, and sustainable research ecosystem. Event participants of the CERN NASA Open Science Summit at CERN’s Globe of Science and.…

Hbomberguy's "Plagiarism" video
Actually did watch the whole of this epic! not all in one go, and give or take a few bits which were playing as I was nearly falling asleep :-)
I don't generally watch a lot of video, & wasn't familiar with any of the people, but still found it interesting & entertaining.
Wow, though. Imagine being one of the people he researched. All this time you thought you were getting away with it, and BOOM.

The country is falling apart. Why is the federal government so hesitant to act?
The defiance of the premiers fits with the emerging orthodoxy that governments aren’t obliged to follow any law they find inconvenient

This could massively change the way satellites operate.
Imagine flinging chemicals into orbit for delivery to satellites to recharge thrusters instead of de-orbiting old satellites because they can't keep their position anymore.

Tweede Kamer stelt plan minimumloon bij: per 1 juli 1,2 procent omhoog en de partijen noemen dat een flinke koopkrachtverbetering. Nou ik ontving de laatste keer €939,41 (AOW, samenwonend met een jong werkend persoon) dus 1,2% is dan €11,27 in de maand. Je moet toch echt in de politiek zitten om dat een flinke verbetering te durven noemen. Wij hebben meer inkomstenbronnen hoor, maak je over mij maar geen zorgen.

Tweede Kamer stelt plan minimumloon bij: per 1 juli 1,2 procent omhoog
Het plan van een Kamermeerderheid was om in 2024 het minimumloon met 1,7 procent te verhogen. Dat blijkt financieel niet haalbaar.

Deep learning acceleration of iterative model-based light fluence correction for photoacoustic tomography
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a promising imaging technique that can visualize the distribution of chromophores within biological tissue. However, the accuracy of PAT imaging is compromised by light fluence (LF), which hinders the quantification of light absorbers. Currently, model-based iterative methods are widely used for LF correction but require significant computational resources due to repeated LF estimation using differential light transport models. To improve LF correction efficien…
