Open, Reproducible and Trustworthy Robot-Based Experiments with Virtual Labs and Digital-Twin-Based Execution Tracing
We envision a future in which autonomous robots conduct scientific experiments in ways that are not only precise and repeatable, but also open, trustworthy, and transparent. To realize this vision, we present two key contributions: a semantic execution tracing framework that logs sensor data together with semantically annotated robot belief states, ensuring that automated experimentation is transparent and replicable; and the AICOR Virtual Research Building (VRB), a cloud-based platform for sha…

BLAKE: I'll talk with the leaders. I'll get them to give us a supply of the drug or at least tell us how it's made. In return I can...I can offer some of them a chance to get off here.
GAN: They might agree. It's worth a try.

Partitioned Conservative, Variable Step, Second-Order Method for Magneto-hydrodynamics In Elsässer Variables
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) describes the interaction between electrically conducting fluids and electromagnetic fields. We propose and analyze a symplectic, second-order algorithm for the evolutionary MHD system in Elsässer variables. We reduce the computational cost of the iterative non-linear solver, at each time step, by partitioning the coupled system into two subproblems of half size, solved in parallel. We prove that the iterations converge linearly, under a time step restriction similar…

Observation of the Shadows of the Moon and Sun Using the Pierre Auger Observatory at an Average Energy of $7\times10^{17}\,$eV
The interaction of cosmic rays with celestial bodies such as the Moon or the Sun produces a shadow in the arrival direction distribution of the cosmic rays reaching the Earth. Such deficits from an isotropic flux have been observed by astroparticle observatories below energies of $10^{15}\,$eV. Above this energy, measurements were limited due to the low number of events as a result of the steeply falling cosmic-ray flux with energy. With more than 10.6 million events recorded during 20 years of…

American biotech company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced today that it's buying 23andMe,
the bankrupt consumer-genomics company that sold take-home DNA kits.
Regeneron is to pay $256 million in cash to acquire "substantially all" of 23andMe's assets,
including its massive biobank of around 15 million customer genetic samples and data.
Put simply, the genetic information of millions is now in the hands of a drugmaker seeking to mine it to make n…

Fault Tolerant Zero Forcing
Zero forcing is an iterative graph coloring process studied for its wide array of applications. In this process the vertices of the graph are initially designated as filled or unfilled, and a zero forcing set is a set of initially filled vertices that results in all vertices filled after repeated application of a color change rule. The zero forcing number of a graph is the minimum cardinality of a zero forcing set. The zero forcing number has motivated the introduction of a host of variants def…
