Unique Surgery Descriptions along Knots
We prove that for any non-trivial knot K, infinitely many r-surgeries K(r) along K have a unique surgery description along a knot. Moreover, we show that for any hyperbolic L-space knot K and infinitely many integer slopes n, the manifold K(n) has a unique surgery description. Here we say a 3-manifold M has a unique surgery description along a knot in S^3 if there is a unique pair (K,r) of a knot K and a slope r such that M is orientation-preservingly diffeomorphic to K(r). This generalises the…

VisionSafeEnhanced VPC: Cautious Predictive Control with Visibility Constraints under Uncertainty for Autonomous Robotic Surgery
Autonomous control of the laparoscope in robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has received considerable research interest due to its potential to improve surgical safety. Despite progress in pixel-level Image-Based Visual Servoing (IBVS) control, the requirement of continuous visibility and the existence of complex disturbances, such as parameterization error, measurement noise, and uncertainties of payloads, could degrade the surgeon's visual experience and compromise procedural saf…

Hybrid Deep Searcher: Integrating Parallel and Sequential Search Reasoning
Large reasoning models (LRMs) have demonstrated strong performance in complex, multi-step reasoning tasks. Existing methods enhance LRMs by sequentially integrating external knowledge retrieval; models iteratively generate queries, retrieve external information, and progressively reason over this information. However, purely sequential querying increases inference latency and context length, diminishing coherence and potentially reducing accuracy. To address these limitations, we introduce HDS-…

Hyperbolic embedding of brain networks can predict the surgery outcome in temporal lobe epilepsy
Epilepsy surgery, particularly for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), remains a vital treatment option for patients with drug-resistant seizures. However, accurately predicting surgical outcomes remains a significant challenge. This study introduces a novel biomarker derived from brain connectivity, analyzed using non-Euclidean network geometry, to predict the surgery outcome in TLE. Using structural and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from 51 patients, we examined differences in str…

Liberations förstasida idag: #Gaza skriker svält. Så kan man också göra journalistik.

Between the "supply" charges, "delivery" charges, sales taxes, and system benefit charge, I calculate that my electricity (from Con Ed, in NYC) costs about 33.5 cents per kWh (plus roughly $30/mo basic service fee & tax surcharges).
Which is.. a lot. I calculate that my two (classic) CR boxes at 50W each cost about $25/mo to run 24/7, so switching to more efficient fans (PC fans or efficient hepa filter units) would pay for themselves reasonably quickly.

(WK-intern) - Kallinchen (iwr-pressedienst) - Die Energiequelle GmbH hat im niedersächsischen Zeven neun V162-Anlagen von Vestas errichtet und erfolgreich in Betrieb genommen. Mit einer Nabenhöhe von 169 Metern und einem Rotordurchmesser von 162 Metern zählen die Anlagen zu den modernsten ihrer Art. Sie sollen zukünftig rund 40.000 Haushalte mit erneuerbar produziertem Strom versorgen. Der gesamte

El-Hotzo-Urteil: Satire oder Hetze?
Ein Satiriker ist vom Vorwurf der Billigung eines Verbrechens freigesprochen worden. Feuilleton und Grundrechtsschützer aller Couleur sind aufgeregt. Die Sache ist tatsächlich schwieriger, als sie scheint.
