Pilot-to-Data Power Ratio in RIS-Assisted Multiantenna Communication
The optimization of the \gls{pdpr} is a recourse that helps wireless systems to acquire channel state information while minimizing the pilot overhead. While the optimization of the \gls{pdpr} in cellular networks has been studied extensively, the effect of the \gls{pdpr} in \gls{ris}-assisted networks has hardly been examined. This paper tackles this optimization when the communication is assisted by a RIS whose phase shifts are adjusted on the basis of the statistics of the channels. For a set…

NoticeLight: Embracing Socio-Technical Asymmetry through Tangible Peripheral Robotic Embodiment in Hybrid Collaboration
Hybrid collaboration has become a fixture in modern workplaces, yet it introduces persistent socio-technical asymmetries-especially disadvantaging remote participants, who struggle with presence disparity, reduced visibility, and limited non-verbal communication. Traditional solutions often seek to erase these asymmetries, but recent research suggests embracing them as productive design constraints. In this context, we introduce NoticeLight: a tangible, peripheral robotic embodiment designed to…

Decompositions of augmentation varieties via weaves and rulings
The braid variety of a positive braid and the augmentation variety of a Legendrian link both admit decompositions coming from weaves and rulings, respectively. We prove that these decompositions agree under an isomorphism between the braid variety and the augmentation variety. We also prove that both decompositions coincide with a Deodhar decomposition and another decomposition coming from the microlocal theory of sheaves. Our proof relies on a detailed comparison between weaves and Morse compl…

Effect of Nozzle Geometry on the Performance of Non-Assist Flares
This study employs large-eddy simulations with a flamelet progress variable approach to systematically quantify the influence of nozzle geometry on combustion efficiency, mixing, and blowout resistance in non-assist methane flares. Five canonical nozzle shapes-circle, low aspect ratio ellipse, high aspect ratio ellipse, diamond, and square-were evaluated under relevant industrial flare conditions. Results demonstrate that cornered geometries enhance near-field recirculation, promote mixing, and…

Toward Responsible ASR for African American English Speakers: A Scoping Review of Bias and Equity in Speech Technology
This scoping literature review examines how fairness, bias, and equity are conceptualized and operationalized in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and adjacent speech and language technologies (SLT) for African American English (AAE) speakers and other linguistically diverse communities. Drawing from 44 peer-reviewed publications across Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Machine Learning/Natural Language Processing (ML/NLP), and Sociolinguistics, we identify four major areas of inquiry: (1) how…

You don't need to *agree* with Hakeem Jeffries being lukewarm on Mamdani; but you do need to understand where it's coming from.
Because if you think it's because *Jeffries* is some kind of corrupt old school insider, you're an idiot.
It's a complex game and behind the scenes maneuvering matters, like it or not.

Now that the school year is coming to an end in many European countries, many children are receiving their school reports. | Jaap Burger
Now that the school year is coming to an end in many European countries, many children are receiving their school reports. What are they doing well and where can they improve? Have they learned from the curriculum and have they acted on previous recommendations? How are they doing compared to their peers? EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) does something similar for countries, their retail energy markets and the level of consumer participation. It's time for their annual …

AI is coming for entry-level jobs. Everybody needs to get ready.
CEOs are saying that AI is coming for a lot of jobs, and soon
— perhaps as many as half of all white-collar workers.
That’s likely to show up first in entry-level jobs, where the basic skills required are the easiest to replicate,
and in tech, where the ability to rapidly adapt the latest software tools is itself an entry-level job requirement.
Sure enough, in recent years unemployment has risen…

AI is coming for entry-level jobs. Everybody needs to get ready.
AI may replace a lot of entry-level skills. So how will workers acquire more advanced ones?
