NFC Team Emerging As Favorite To Acquire Russell Wilson
The relationship between the Denver Broncos and Russell Wilson seemed destined for separation, but recent developments suggest a reconciliation might be in the cards. Reports indicate that the team is considering retaining Wilson for the foreseeable future, contingent upon a contract restructuring agreement. Despite this potential turnaround, the Broncos find themselves in competition with the Las Vegas Raiders for securing Wilson’s services, with both teams holding the second-highest odds fo…

Dallas Cowboys Receive Encouraging Odds For Saquon Barkley
The Dallas Cowboys are emerging as strong contenders to acquire their divisional rival’s star running back. It appears that they could poach Saquon Barkley away from the New York Giants. Per the latest betting odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, the Cowboys boast the fourth-best odds (+650) of securing Barkley. Barkley, a two-time Pro Bowl player, is set to enter free agency following the Giants’ decision not to place the franchise tag on him. The potential move by the Cowboys to pursue Barkle…

Betting odds link Raiders with getting this QB in NFL Draft
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell sounds ready to compete with both a rookie and veteran Gardner Minshew for the team's starting job this coming summer.  Some believe they know the identity of that first-year pro less than two weeks before the start of the 2024 NFL Draft.  As shared by Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk, the betting odds currently suggest that the Raiders will acquire Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. at some point during the draft.  As of …

Future Perspectives for Gamma-ray Burst Detection from Space
Since their first discovery in the late 1960s, Gamma-ray bursts have attracted an exponentially growing interest from the international community due to their central role in the most highly debated open questions of the modern research of astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. These range from the intimate nuclear composition of high density material within the core of ultra-dense neuron stars, to stellar evolution via the collapse of massive stars, the production and pro…

Optimal Stopping with Interdependent Values
We study online selection problems in both the prophet and secretary settings, when arriving agents have interdependent values. In the interdependent values model, introduced in the seminal work of Milgrom and Weber [1982], each agent has a private signal and the value of an agent is a function of the signals held by all agents. Results in online selection crucially rely on some degree of independence of values, which is conceptually at odds with the interdependent values model. For prophet and…

Hybrid ultrathin metasurface for broadband sound absorption
To this day, achieving broadband low-frequency sound absorption remains a challenge even with the possibilities promised by the advent of metamaterials and metasurfaces, especially when size and structural restrictions exist. Solving this engineering challenge relies on stringent impedance matching and coupling of the multiple independent local resonators in metasurface absorbers. In this letter, we present an innovative design approach to broaden the sound absorption bandwidth at low-frequency…
