Nepal launches plan to boost science, awareness to save dholes
KATHMANDU — Nepal has launched a species action plan focused exclusively on conserving the endangered dhole (Cuon alpinus), also known as the Asiatic wild dog. The new 262.9 million rupee ($1.9 million) five-year plan, targets key conservation challenges by trying to strike a balance between improving scientific understanding of the species and promoting awareness among […]

U.S. allies are rearming.
At NATO’s annual summit in June, the bloc’s members committed to spending at least 5 percent of their GDP on defense and related infrastructure.
East Asian countries are belatedly building warships and missiles to counter a stronger, more assertive China.
But even as funding rises, factories retool, and arms production ramps up,
one question remains unanswered:
Who will wield all these new weapons?
NATO states have not solved the f…

Who Will Wield All Those Shiny New Weapons?
As defense spending rises and production ramps up, allied armies struggle to fill the ranks.

Probing Evaluation Awareness of Language Models
Language models can distinguish between testing and deployment phases -- a capability known as evaluation awareness. This has significant safety and policy implications, potentially undermining the reliability of evaluations that are central to AI governance frameworks and voluntary industry commitments. In this paper, we study evaluation awareness in Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct. We show that linear probes can separate real-world evaluation and deployment prompts, suggesting that current models inte…

Characteristic quasi-polynomials of deletions of Shi arrangements of type C and type D
Characteristic quasi-polynomials enumerate the number of points in the complement of hyperplane arrangements modulo positive integers. In this paper, we compute the characteristic quasi-polynomials of the restrictions of the Shi arrangements of type C and type D by one given hyperplane, respectively. The case of type C is established by extending the method developed in our previous work on type B (\cite{HN2024}), while the case of type D is deduced through a direct connection with the results …

Unpacking Personal(?!) Health Informatics: An Investigation of Awareness, Understanding, And Leveraged Utility in India
Personal Health Informatics (PHI), which leverages digital tools and information systems to support health assessment and self-care, holds promise for empowering individuals and transforming healthcare delivery. However, barriers to its adoption remain underexplored in the Indian context. This study investigates PHI adoption among Indian users and stakeholders using a multi-method approach. An awareness survey (n = 87) examined the usage of wearables and general PHI engagement, followed by semi…
