Trump wields his ‘secret weapon’: College accreditation
Trump and his allies are using college accreditation to exert pressure on colleges and universities,
an effort that threatens the independence of accreditors and the stability of the institutions they approve.

Accrediting agencies, which have existed for more than a century, determine whether colleges meet standards of quality
by evaluating every aspect of their finances, operations and student achievement.

Trump wields his ‘secret weapon’: College accreditation
The administration is trying to make good on Trump’s campaign promise to use accreditation, a critical stamp of approval for colleges, to remake higher education.

ABYSS III: Observing accretion activity in young stars through empirical veiling measurements
Stellar accretion plays an important role in the early stages of stellar evolution, particularly in Classical T Tauri Stars (CTTSs). Accretion of a CTTS can be related to different physical parameters such as effective temperature (T$_{\text{eff}}$), age, abundance of hydrogen, etc. We can infer how accretion works by examining it across different wavelength regions. Accretion can be traced using veiling, a parameter that measures how excess emission from accretion affects the photospheric spec…

LPO: Towards Accurate GUI Agent Interaction via Location Preference Optimization
The advent of autonomous agents is transforming interactions with Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) by employing natural language as a powerful intermediary. Despite the predominance of Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) methods in current GUI agents for achieving spatial localization, these methods face substantial challenges due to their limited capacity to accurately perceive positional data. Existing strategies, such as reinforcement learning, often fail to assess positional accuracy effectively, …

Large-eddy simulations of heat transfer from iced surfaces
Accurate modeling of ice accretion is important for the safe and efficient design of aircraft and wind turbine systems. Heat transfer predictions obtained from the fluid flow solvers are used as input in ice accretion codes. In glaze ice conditions, the freezing rates and resulting ice shapes are highly sensitive to the input values of the heat transfer coefficient. Hence, an accurate prediction of heat transfer on iced airfoils is crucial for correctly predicting the ice accretion process [1, …
