Can you survive summer indoors without AC? In Arizona, many don’t | Here & Now
Nearly half of the people who suffered heat-related deaths in Arizona last year lived outdoors without shelter, but public health officials and lawmakers are starting to pay more attention to the risk of dying indoors.

Hydra Battles and AC Termination
We present a new encoding of the Battle of Hercules and Hydra as a rewrite system with AC symbols. Unlike earlier term rewriting encodings, it faithfully models any strategy of Hercules to beat Hydra. To prove the termination of our encoding, we employ type introduction in connection with many-sorted semantic labeling for AC rewriting and AC-MPO, a new AC compatible reduction order that can be seen as a much weakened version of AC-RPO.

"The findings show that mainstream parties have raised the issues of the far right and brought them from the fringes into the mainstream debate. Instead of drawing attention to far-right actors and issues, mainstream parties could use their public visibility to highlight the issues and ideas they represent and offer political alternatives."

The Drivers of Far-Right Mainstreaming in Public Debates
The far right is gaining power in many liberal democracies. Far-right actors threaten democracy by spreading their nativist, exclusionary and authoritarian ideas through various means (Mudde 2019). They are protesting on the streets, mobilising support on social media, getting elected to parliaments and participating in governments. In Europe, far-right parties have increased their share of the vote in recent years and are currently in government in Italy, Hungary, Finland and Switzerland (Rood…

Deep Reinforcement Learning for Infinite Horizon Mean Field Problems in Continuous Spaces
We present the development and analysis of a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm designed to solve continuous-space mean field game (MFG) and mean field control (MFC) problems in a unified manner. The proposed approach pairs the actor-critic (AC) paradigm with a representation of the mean field distribution via a parameterized score function, which can be efficiently updated in an online fashion, and uses Langevin dynamics to obtain samples from the resulting distribution. The AC agent and th…

Optimal Power Flow Pursuit via Feedback-based Safe Gradient Flow
This paper considers the problem of controlling the operation of inverter-interfaced distributed energy resources (DERs) in a distribution grid, to achieve operational and performance goals with limited system-level information. We develop an online feedback optimization method to drive the DERs' power setpoints to solutions of an AC optimal power flow (OPF) problem based only on voltage measurements (and without requiring measurements of the power consumption of non-controllable assets).

Non-Abelian anyon statistics through AC conductance of a Majorana interferometer
Demonstrating the non-Abelian Ising anyon statistics of Majorana zero modes in a physical platform still represents a major open challenge in physics. We here show that the linear low-frequency charge conductance of a Majorana interferometer containing a floating superconducting island can reveal the topological spin of quantum edge vortices. The latter are associated with chiral Majorana fermion edge modes and represent "flying" Ising anyons. We describe possible device implementations and out…

Anomalous Inverse Spin Hall Effect (AISHE) due to Unconventional Spin Currents in Ferromagnetic Films with Tailored Interfacial Magnetic Anisotropy
A single layer ferromagnetic film magnetized in the plane of an ac current flow, exhibits a characteristic Hall voltage with harmonic and second harmonic components, which is attributed to the presence of spin currents with polarization non-collinear with the magnetization. A set of 30 nm thick permalloy (Py) films used in this study are deposited at an oblique angle with respect to the substrate plane which induces an in-plane easy axis in the magnetization of the initial nucleating layers of …

Interconnecting power converters (IPC) are the main elements enabling the interconnection of multiple high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) subgrids.
