Russland: Ukrainischer Angriff verursacht Brand an Kraftwerk
Eine Ölpumpstation in Unetscha in der westrussischen Region Brjansk, durch die die nach Europa führende Druschba-Ölpipeline verläuft, ist infolge ukrainischer Raketen- und Drohnenangriffe in Brand geraten. Das sagte der Gouverneur der Region, Alexander Bogomaz. Das Feuer ist demnach gelöscht. Ungarn hatte zuvor erklärt, die Öllieferungen über die Druschba-Pipeline s…

I saw Kathleen Edwards last night at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. Great show. I'm glad I finally was able to see her and her excellent band. #Americana

Cenovus, Enbridge Misled Investors, Greenwashing Complaint Alleges
A shareholder advocacy group has filed a greenwashing complaint with Alberta’s securities watchdog alleging Cenovus Inc., one of Canada’s biggest oilsands producers, and Enbridge Inc., the country’s biggest crude pipeline operator, have misled investors in their environmental disclosures.

SAGA: Learning Signal-Aligned Distributions for Improved Text-to-Image Generation
State-of-the-art text-to-image models produce visually impressive results but often struggle with precise alignment to text prompts, leading to missing critical elements or unintended blending of distinct concepts. We propose a novel approach that learns a high-success-rate distribution conditioned on a target prompt, ensuring that generated images faithfully reflect the corresponding prompts. Our method explicitly models the signal component during the denoising process, offering fine-grained …

Kann bitte der Gesetzesbrecher #Dobrindt zurücktreten. Gerade wer sein Ministeramt so unverhohlen und notorisch missbraucht, um Gesetze zu brechen, sollte keine Mitsprache bei der Besetzung von Richterämtern bekommen.

Synchronization driven reciprocity breaking
This study introduces a novel method to break wave transmission reciprocity by leveraging the synchronization of self-oscillators. An experimental demonstration with aeroacoustic cavities is presented. They behave as weakly nonlinear limit cycles when driven by a constant airflow, leading to self-oscillations which can couple to the surrounding waveguides via two ports. Incident waves from one port trigger anti-phase synchronization, causing destructive interference and low transmission, while …

Three Russian warplanes that violated Estonian airspace have been intercepted by Nato,
the military alliance has said.
Estonia's foreign ministry in Tallinn condemned the incursion as "brazen".
It said three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets entered the airspace of a Nato member
"without permission and remained there for a total of 12 minutes"
on Friday over the Gulf of Finland.
Nato spokesperson Allison Hart said the military alliance

Invariant measures and shocks in the KPZ fixed point
We construct a family of invariant measures from the perspective of a shock in the KPZ fixed point. These measures are parameterized by a positive number $θ> 0$, and are supported on functions $f$ satisfying $\lim_{|x| \to \infty} \frac{f(x)}{|x|} = 2θ$. Each can be described as the sum of a Brownian motion and an independent Bessel-$3$ process with drift. We show that these measures appear as the $L \to \infty$ limit of the measures constructed by Barraquand, Corwin, and …

Realization of a Chiral Photonic-Crystal Cavity with Broken Time-Reversal Symmetry
Light-matter interactions in chiral cavities offer a compelling route to manipulate material properties by breaking fundamental symmetries such as time-reversal symmetry. However, only a limited number of chiral cavity implementations exhibiting broken time-reversal symmetry have been demonstrated to date. These typically rely on either the application of strong magnetic fields, circularly polarized Floquet driving, or the hybridization of cavity modes with matter excitations in the ultrastrong…

Alexander #Dobrindt steht wie kein Zweiter für Rechtsbruch im Ministeramt. CSU und CDU können ihre rechtswidrige Regierungsarbeit nur durchziehen, wenn das Bundesverfassungsgericht geschwächt und Richter*innen durch Vasallen ersetzt.
Unsere Gerichte aber brauchen das richtige Personal, um unsere Gesetze sauber auszulegen. Das steht im Widerspruch zu den Zielen der Rechten.
