The loss of the #SSMIS satellite dataset as warned by @… will presumably also affect the #Greenland today melt maps over on NSIDC - I think we have AMSR2 for those somewhere too, but not exactly sure where..
Perhaps I should write that blog post I was talking abotu earlier 🤔

Optimizing Indoor RIS-Aided Physical-Layer Security: A Codebook-Generation Methodology and Measurement-Based Analysis
Sixth-Generation (6G) wireless networks aim to support innovative Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications that demand faster and more secure data transmission. While higher Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layers employ measures like encryption and secure protocols to address data security, Physical-Layer Security (PLS) focuses on preventing information leakage to EavesDroppers (EDs) and mitigating the effects of jammers and spoofing attacks. In this context, the emerging technology of Reconfig…

Do Students Learn Better Together? Teaching Design Patterns and the OSI Model with the Aronson Method
Abstract concepts like software design patterns and the OSI model often pose challenges for engineering students, and traditional methods may fall short in promoting deep understanding and individual accountability. This study explores the use of the Aronson Jigsaw method to enhance learning and engagement in two foundational computing topics. The intervention was applied to two 2025 cohorts, with student progress measured using a Collaborative Learning Index derived from formative assessments.…

An analysis of the effects of open science indicators on citations in the French Open Science Monitor
This study investigates the correlation of citation impact with various open science indicators (OSI) within the French Open Science Monitor (FOSM), a dataset comprising approximately 900,000 publications authored by French authors from 2020 to 2022. By integrating data from OpenAlex and Crossref, we analyze open science indicators such as the presence of a pre-print, data sharing, and software sharing in 576,537 publications in the FOSM dataset. Our analysis reveals a positive correlation betw…

From CreativeCommons with their "signals" to the OSI with their "open source AI" fiasco it seems that the stewards of the legal structures protecting the digital commons are not on the side of people actually wanting to contribute to the commons for humanity. (Maybe they never were.)
If those organizations don't reorient themselves to align with people's needs maybe we need to fork.

No, it's neither TCP/IP nor ISO/OSI layers. It's PCI Express.

Towards relativistic generalization of collapse models
Spontaneous collapse models provide a possible, testable solution to the quantum measurement problem. While experiments are providing increasingly stronger bounds on their parameters, a full-fledged relativistic extension is still missing. Previous attempts have encoutered different obstacles, such as violation of microcausality, infinite energy rate, and particle production from vacuum. Here, we propose generalization of the collapse master equation that is characterized by a local field colla…

Wall Shear Stress Estimation in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Towards Generalisable Neural Surrogate Models
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are pathologic dilatations of the abdominal aorta posing a high fatality risk upon rupture. Studying AAA progression and rupture risk often involves in-silico blood flow modelling with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and extraction of hemodynamic factors like time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) or oscillatory shear index (OSI). However, CFD simulations are known to be computationally demanding. Hence, in recent years, geometric deep learning methods, ope…
